Not THE best W&G-movie but less will do! The title alone is classic stuff, and how great is it to have W&G back in the shorts where they belong? Love every little detail from the windmill to the "missing Penguin" sign at the Zoo... from the Citizen Kanine-poster on Gromits wall to the Ghost, Aliens and Batman The Movie ("Some days you just cant get rid of a bomb!") parodies! ... Park has done it yet again

Wallace and Gromit are almost at a disadvantage before I watch any of their films. I expect so much of them, that when I see something like 'A Matter of Loaf and Death', I get really disappointed. I know they're capable of so much better. The story here has been done before so many times that even an interpretation by Nick Park's characters can't make it that interesting. Still, the animation here is top notch. The chase, battle and morning wake-up sequences are excellent, but I expect better.

Another cracking adventure featuring W&G. It's a little predictable and doesn't bring much new to the table (the story is something of a cross between "The Wrong Trousers" and "A Close Shave") but as always, it's very entertaining, and expertly crafted. Loaded with the usual sight gags and references, including a terrific tribute to Aliens.

The last of the proper Wallace & Gromits and unfortunately the weakest, with little originality shown in either the writing or the direction. Unlike all their other adventures there’s nothing standout or memorable here, with a lack of trademark wit meaning the biggest laughs come from simple spoofing of classic movies. It's not terrible, and has nothing to actively dislike, but it’s definitely a disappointing final instalment in the series.

W&G continue their downward slide with their first truly sub-par film. Far too much of the story is geared around setting up the constant puns, visual jokes and film references which have become the duo's trademark. Compared to their 1989 debut, the plasticene pair have gained a lot of polish, but lost most of their heart, soul and originality. Nick Park needs to stop paying homage to Hitchcock and get some fresh ideas. This is what happens when art becomes a franchise.

An entertaining time, but when compared to the previous Wallace and Gromit entries, it feels conventional and a bit stale. The film started out well, but as it moved into its second act, it began to drag. That's probably because the plot was only so-so, and I was not enamored with the animation of Wallace's love interest--looked a bit sloppy at times.

While the quality of the production easily matches the performances of previous installments, somehow it feels a little seperated from the rest of the series. While all the numerous and often humourous film references are there coupled with the often subtle nods to previous moments in the W&G series, the plotline sometimes feels a little rushed and certain elements aren't fully developed upon. It might be partly to do with the constriction of a limited running time, but still good clean fun.
