Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2Kevin James' Vegas-set sequel, should have folded before release
Publication: The Daily News
Writer: Joe Neumaier
Rating: 0/10
High Points: apparently none except for the rare "smirk-inducing" line.
Low Points: everything, apparently.
Quote: "It wouldn't be hard to be at least a little better than 2009's first "Blart," a very dumb but financially successful comedy for the former "King of Queens" star. But being worse? That's a real accomplishment."
Mad Max: Fury Road
A Visceral, Inventive Blockbuster Roars to Life in 'Mad Max: Fury Road'
Publication: NPR
Writer: Chris Klimek
Rating: 9/10
High Points: stunning visuals, action-packed, unapologetically feminist.
Low Points: none mentioned.
Quote: "A kinetic, hallucinatory, boldly feminist chase flick that, with its vibrant color palette, harrowing stunt work and show-don't-tell style of yarn-spinning, leaves every Marvel movie and every Fast & Furious in its irradiated dust. It's the most visceral blockbuster since Gravity, and it reinvigorates the doomsday genre like no film since The Matrix."
