Movies TV Shows
TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 2/5.5 EDIT “A fine introduction to the movie fans actually want...” – ComicBook.com Oct 11, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 4/5 EDIT “By the time the story reaches its inevitable (and obvious) crash point, Johnson and Blunt both let loose with some top-tier performance work, arguably the best of both their careers. ” – ComicBook.com Oct 3, 2025 Full Review HIM (2025) 30% 2/5 EDIT “This sports horror nightmare is all style over substance...” – ComicBook.com Sep 20, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “...forces the eye to reconcile with the brutality of its gruesome violence, and smoothly dovetails between moments of terror, humor, and even soulful hopefulness.” – ComicBook.com Sep 3, 2025 Full Review M3GAN 2.0 (2025) 57% 2/5 EDIT “M3GAN 2.0 is even more dumb fun than the original — and how you take that depends entirely on what you’re coming to the table looking to eat. But M3GAN eats for sure, and hopefully a third chapter will cut things back down to the leanest, meanest bits.” – ComicBook.com Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 2/5 EDIT “Venom: The Last Dance is a disappointing Sony-Marvel release to go alongside Madame Web. And the odds for Kraven the Hunter to complete a single-year trifecta of Spider-Man spinoff misses are going way, way up.” – ComicBook.com Oct 23, 2024 Full Review The Wild Robot (2024) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “With its visual splendor, a mix of ironic humor for adults and slapstick for kids, a talented cast, and some powerful themes about family bonds, The Wild Robot delivers like only the greatest animated features can.” – ComicBook.com Sep 27, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% 4/5 EDIT “With Speak No Evil, director James Watkins turns the screws on every couple that's ever had to suffer through an awkward outing with another couple, featuring powerful performances from its ensemble cast in this classic slow-burn horror-thriller.” – ComicBook.com Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) 65% 4/5 EDIT “It proves that Will Smith and Martin Lawrence can keep driving with characters forward – no matter what life and age bring their way – and it's still some of the most fun movie audiences can have, riding along with them.” – ComicBook.com Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Night Swim (2024) 19% 2/5 EDIT “Night Swim is proof that creating a horror concept is far simpler than creating an entire horror story – and certainly a feature-length horror film to convey that story. Bryce McGuire shows promise, needs a few more laps before he's an able swimmer.” – ComicBook.com Jan 5, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire (2023) 22% 2.5/5 EDIT “This is a flashy but hollow advertisement for the larger multimedia IP that will follow. Could we one day look back at this with the full context of the franchise behind it and feel more emotional impact about its events? Possibly, but not today. ” – ComicBook.com Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Wonka (2023) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Like its titular protagonist, Wonka has just enough magic to pull from some unseen corner of its hat to have fans walk away feeling like the treat was worth it. ” – ComicBook.com Dec 15, 2023 Full Review The Exorcist: Believer (2023) 22% 2/5 EDIT “It's a shame to say that the continuing story of the MacNeil family was told much better in the Fox Exorcist TV series from a few years ago – Exorcist: Believer just adds a dour epilogue that no one needed or asked for. ” – ComicBook.com Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Saw X (2023) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “Saw X only works because it can carry the unspoken weight of the entire Jigsaw Saga on its back and use it as a constant winking reference to longtime fans. ” – ComicBook.com Sep 29, 2023 Full Review The Nun II (2023) 51% 2.5/5 EDIT “It's hard to explain how The Nun II even justifies its own existence. Shoehorning a middle chapter serves nothing, and no one, other than to push The Conjuring Universe to nine films,” – ComicBook.com Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Blue Beetle (2023) 78% 3.5/5 EDIT “If DC fans are hoping for a solid, uncomplicated (no continuity knots), and most of all fun DC superhero movie that even teens and kids can enjoy – Blue Beetle may very well be the first DC film in a decade that can deliver on all those fronts.” – ComicBook.com Aug 18, 2023 Full Review Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “The scope and ambition of this larger Spider-Verse story – plus the clear indication that it could very well stick the landing in Beyond the Spider-Verse – makes it hard to criticize Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse too extensively.” – ComicBook.com Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Evil Dead Rise (2023) 85% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film sets up a wider application of the Evil Dead curse, which could make for some fun sequels to come. This may not be the Evil Dead reboot hardcore fans were hoping for, but as far as fresh starts go, Evil Dead Rise is pretty good. ” – ComicBook.com Apr 17, 2023 Full Review Cocaine Bear (2023) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “Cocaine Bear is as much fun as most viewers hope it will be. Is it fun that needs to be had in a theater? Not necessarily, but the crowd experience doesn't hurt – especially at a matinee price. ” – ComicBook.com Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Barbarian (2022) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Barbarian is a dark-horse horror movie release that actually deserves theatrical viewing – not for the visuals it offers, but for the audience experience.” – ComicBook.com Sep 9, 2022 Full Review The Batman (2022) 85% 4/5 EDIT “As a reboot, The Batman is a very good re-introduction of the Batman movie franchise, but one that feels like a victim of circumstance.” – ComicBook.com Feb 28, 2022 Full Review The King's Man (2021) 41% 2.5/5 EDIT “The King's Man is better action and team-dynamic fun than we've seen from the Kingsman franchise so far, at the somewhat heavy cost of some overly serious and dark wartime drama.” – ComicBook.com Dec 14, 2021 Full Review Bad Boys for Life (2020) 76% 4/5 EDIT “Bad Boys for Life is a more of a solid continuation than a prime jumping-on point for new viewers, but longtime fans will likely appreciate seeing these Bad Boys do some growing up.” – ComicBook.com Jan 15, 2020 Full Review 21 Bridges (2019) 55% 3/5 EDIT “While the story may be weak, and the action just suitable, what ultimately pushes 21 Bridges over the line into "worth seeing" territory is the strength of the cast. Chadwick Boseman is a commanding and charismatic leading man.” – ComicBook.com Nov 22, 2019 Full Review Gemini Man (2019) 27% 2/5 EDIT “The lure of Will Smith and the visual spectacle may be worth a matinee price to action fans, but other than that, Gemini Man will soon be lost in the same limbo it was stuck in for decades, before it was pulled out for this failed attempt.” – ComicBook.com Oct 14, 2019 Full Review
