The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Fantastic Four: First Steps leaves you feeling good and eager to revisit this wonderful world that Shakman has crafted. It’s inspiring and idyllic and offers the kind of cynic-less sincerity that we desperately need in our own world.” – POC Culture Aug 9, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 3.5 EDIT “Anthony Mackie and co-star Danny Ramirez are as delightful together as they are dynamic, and their partnership forms the heart of this story.” – POC Culture Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Chu and his team accomplished the near impossible and created a film that fans will want to watch as many times as they have watched the musical.” – POC Culture Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice provides everything that Beetlejuice fans could ask for. The humor, heart and horror that made the first film so beloved are all back in a nostalgia infused film that will make fans happily revisit the undead world.” – POC Culture Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% 3/5 EDIT “For the true believers, Deadpool & Wolverine is sure to please. It’s a film made specifically with them in mind and it isn’t scared to show them the love; every inch of it.” – POC Culture Jul 24, 2024 Full Review IF (2024) 51% 3/5 EDIT “Fleming is able to navigate a film that requires her to interact primarily with CGI characters with a sincerity that helps the audience believe in them as well.” – POC Culture Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Following a massively impactful and beloved film like Inside Out is an intimidating task, but Anxiety and the group of new emotions...add new layers and laughs to the sequel that give it a fresh feel. ” – POC Culture Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) 33% 3/5 EDIT “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom feels like a throwback, reminiscent of Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon and even Star Wars. It’s weird, cheesy and fun. Unfortunately, audience tastes have changed in the five years...and the sequel feels stuck in the past.” – POC Culture Dec 21, 2023 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “Thankfully, director Nia DaCosta and stars, Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris and Iman Vellani, seem far less interested in saving Marvel, and instead, are focused on telling a delightful adventure with great characters.” – POC Culture Nov 8, 2023 Full Review The Creator (2023) 67% 3/5 EDIT “For those who can forgive its shortcomings, The Creator is a highly entertaining film with intense action and mind-blowing cinematography.” – POC Culture Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Blue Beetle (2023) 78% 4/5 EDIT “Director Ángel Manuel Soto has crafted a highly entertaining film that lovingly spotlights the Reyes family and their Mexican American culture and allows Maridueña to shine as a hero that everyone can cheer for.” – POC Culture Aug 16, 2023 Full Review Haunted Mansion (2023) 38% 3.5/5 EDIT “Haunted Mansion, directed by Justin Simien, is a loving homage to the classic theme park attraction as well as a heartfelt story about loss and found family. It’s also full of family friendly thrills that fans of all ages can enjoy.” – POC Culture Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Where the film falters, Jonathan Majors is there to lift it up with a genuinely fantastic performance as Kang. The next great Marvel villain has arrived, and somehow surpasses the hype.” – POC Culture Feb 14, 2023 Full Review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% 4.5/5 EDIT “Somehow Coogler and the returning cast of Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Danai Gurira, Angela Bassett and Winston Duke did it, creating a film that is emotional, enthralling and most of all, unapologetic.” – POC Culture Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Werewolf by Night (2022) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Giacchino’s feature film debut is a resounding success. He captures the elements that made the classic monster movies so endearing while deftly incorporating modern and MCU elements seamlessly into the story. ” – POC Culture Oct 14, 2022 Full Review Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “Hilarious, irreverent and full of crowd pleasing moments. However, there are moments where the story development suffers in favor of the humor, and ultimately the fourth film is not quite as strong as Ragnarok” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings brings Hong Kong martial arts action to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with an Asian American twist, creating a beautiful blend of East and West styles.” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review The Last Duel (2021) 85% 2/5 EDIT “Despite a stellar cast, a legendary director and a potentially interesting storytelling structure, the film itself fails to deliver on its stated purpose or provide adequate entertainment to overlook its shortcomings.” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review The Matrix Resurrections (2021) 63% 2.5/5 EDIT “A high octane, nostalgic thrill ride with a little bit too much self awareness and an unnecessarily convoluted (even by Matrix standards) plot. ” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Definition Please (2020) 95% 4/5 EDIT “It’s not often that we get a film that honestly portrays the joys and challenges of a South Asian family and touches issues like death, mental illness and the burdens of family. ” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review No Exit (2022) 62% 4.5/5 EDIT “No Exit is a thoroughly enjoyable mystery thriller with layered characters, and unexpected twists. Director Damien Power seems to have fully understood the potential of his cast and script and deftly gets the most out of both.” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review The Batman (2022) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Reeves’ vision is fresh and innovative, building a young (but not brand new) version of the Bat world that is satisfying as a single film, while planting the seeds for a juggernaut franchise.” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Turning Red (2022) 95% 4/5 EDIT “Director Domee Shi, who won an Academy Award® for her Pixar short film Bao, makes her feature film directing debut with a story that is both extremely personal and thematically universal.” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) 73% 5/5 EDIT “[T]he Doctor Strange sequel wastes little time in throwing the audience into an intensely brutal epic that is sure to reverberate through the MCU for years to come.” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Nope (2022) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “Peele’s biggest spectacle yet, featuring stunning visuals around an incredibly talented cast...[h]owever, unlike Peele’s first two films, the social commentary and symbolism embedded in Nope sometimes overshadow the overall plot” – POC Culture Aug 22, 2022 Full Review
