“There are some great parts to this movie and Glen Powell carries but in the end, you're left with a weak final act and the feeling that Edgar Wright is adrift. ” –

EDIT
“The first third is thrilling but it's a tale of diminishing returns from there. A new Bigelow film is a big deal, so when that film under delivers, it feels like a great disappointment. ” –

“Better than some biopics, worse than others. It's a bit of a middling recap of an interesting era in a great performer's life but there are enough solid moments to carry it through. ” –

“Unnecessary but also inoffensive in its existence. There are some real laughs but the involvement of a Fred Armisen or Bill Hader, someone with a fresher sense of humor, would have made the whole thing work better. ” –

The Long Walk (2025)

A
EDIT
“The plot is a bit predictable but Lawrence builds tension through the withholding of violence followed by its startling, graphic explosion. It's unsettling and visceral and the bond formed between the leads is authentic and affecting. ” –

Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)

EDIT
“Johansson and Ali elevate the material as best they can and there are some cool scenes but for me, it's another failed attempt to regain the magic of the original Jurassic Park. An improvement on the previous franchise entries but still a failure.” –

Superman (2025)

EDIT
“The rushed pacing and an overstuffed plot are the only things holding this back from being truly great. Gunn understands Superman, his world, and his surrounding characters so well and the cast is, to a person, perfect in their roles. Kindness is cool!” –

“Every criticism of HG2 as a cameo-filled callback fest is accurate! Yet it is also, for large portions, a lot of fun. An awful movie but a great time. ” –

“This is the most important MCU movie in half a decade, at least, and it is a massive (sunglasses on) step in the right direction. The visuals are stunning, the cast is locked in, and the writing is surprisingly solid. ” –

“I love that this franchise takes the mythology of its world building incredibly seriously while also allowing the actual plot and action on screen to be absurd and ridiculous in the most fun way. Also: flamethrower fight!” –

“Perhaps not quite on par with the best of the series, Final Reckoning tosses a lot of balls into the air and manages to juggle them all mostly successfully. It's a heartfelt farewell featuring a few stunts that will be remembered for years. ” –

Final Destination Bloodlines (2025)

EDIT
“The plot is fairly solid but Bloodlines quickly devolves into the "dude, what a sick kill" content that will please the Sickos and push out the Normies. It's not for me, but it understands and owns its identity. ” –
