I will be this site's own film critic. Here are some reviews: 
 

Toy Story 3

A shallow, emotionally obtuse mess.

Jonah Hex

Full of explosive action and powerful performances.

Iron Man 2

A film that is even more laughably bad and campy than it's predecessor.

Get Him to the Greek

******* hilarious.

 The Karate Kid

Lacks sincereness, and Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan can never match the chemistry of the original's leads.

I really hope you're just a troll.

I really enjoyed the Book of Eli, which I watched recently.

If somehow you're being serious, I'd like to not be a dickhead, and give you my own sincere response to the reviews:

I hesitate to use the word "review" actually, because that's not what this was.  You said nothing about character development, complexity/intricacy of plot, or... really anything at all the even remotely makes me feel inclined to watch or pass on any of these movies.  If you want to take it upon yourself to actually review/criticize anything (movie, story, or otherwise), I'll tell you right now, it takes more than a single sentence.  Talk about the characters, explain exactly what emotions and how they were "obtuse."  You said that KK lacks sincerity and that it could "never match" the originals' chemistry, but that tells me nothing other than you can't spell words and that Movie A is better than Movie B.  It would be like me saying "Pizza is better than hotdogs" - you're given no information as to what pizza actually tastes like, you only know that I think more highly of it than something else.  Explosions don't make a movie good - hence, Transformers 2.

So, again, if you want to actually review things, take more than 5 seconds and actually write something people are interested in reading.

While I 100% agree with you, I think "explosive" means full of high energy or something like that.

Toy Story 3 is an emotionally obtuse mess because a lot of people cried and laughed during it.

......Do you know what emotionally obtuse means?

Seriously Awesome, don't you have anything better to do?

I believe that I understand now why your reviews are so short.  You can't seem to hold a thought for more than a few moments.

If a short definition of your meaning of the phrase "emotionally obtuse" is all to have to respond, then that confirms Sunshine's theory - you're just a troll.

This movie provokes emotion so therefore it's emotionally obtuse... what? Troll.
