I feel it takes away from each individual films strengths (or lack thereof, depending on your viewpoint) to lump them all together.

Scott gave a mixed review to "Pain & Gain" and a slightly positive one to "The Great Gatsby." Granted, this isn't to say that someone isn't allowed to change their mind (I dispised "Man of Steel" the first time I saw it, and while I didn't quite come around, I found more to admire in the second viewing), but six seems like overkill. Pick the best one (or maybe two).
