Matthew Haynes

Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

My name is Matthew Haynes and when it comes to Movies & Television, I always have a lot to say! I first experienced the beauty of filmmaking in 2004 with Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man", and the genuine curiosity I had led me to this point! I grew up watching as many movies and tv shows I could, and talking to anyone I could about them. My Uncle would constantly have The Lord Of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Star Wars playing in his home whenever I'd visit. That also further expanded my love for science fiction & fantasy films! Being able to share an opinion about a movie and even dissect the fine tuned details is always a blast, and I am happy to be able to do more of it.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 8/10 EDIT “The movie could have benefited from an extra 30 minutes, but overall it was a great time.

She’s exactly what I was expecting and what I wanted from this movie. I wanted to see her portrayal of Lois, and I was not disappointed at all. They did an amazing job with casting and she absolutely embodied her” – Matthewvhaynes (YouTube) Jan 3, 2026 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 7/10 EDIT “The magic that Claudio Miranda was able to bring to the F1 film was absolutely fascinating.

A great Sci-Fi thriller entry!” – Matthewvhaynes (YouTube) Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Blue Beetle (2023) 78% 9/10 EDIT “Blue Beetle was absolutely baller! it superseded my expectations with its heartfelt story , family dynamic and well directed action! ” – Matthewvhaynes (YouTube) Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% 9/10 EDIT “Barbie is full of laughs and lots of pink! But the one thing that stood out to me the most were the messages within the movie. While the film was very meta in many ways it brought a lot of much needed women's rights issues to the forefront!” – Matthewvhaynes (YouTube) Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% 8/10 EDIT “Cillian Murphy did a fantastic job with his portrayal of Dr. Oppenheimer! Not only did he resemble Dr. Oppenheimer, he was able to capture all of the fear and torment with his facial expression alone! Christopher Nolan truly brought filmmaking up a notch!” – Matthewvhaynes (YouTube) Aug 23, 2023 Full Review M3GAN (2022) 93% 9/10 EDIT “M3GAN was an absolute blast and a great shocker for horror movies so far, it took an already well crafted premise and made it much more terrifying in its own unique way.
