4.5/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

4/5
Slanted (2025) Katie Smith-Wong Slanted is one of those rare teen films that dares to explore how internalised racism can affect people of colour, culminating in heartbreak and horror.

Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Ron Seoul-Oh Anthony Mackie and co-star Danny Ramirez are as delightful together as they are dynamic, and their partnership forms the heart of this story.

4/5
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

3/5
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

3/5
IF (2024) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

4.5/5
Inside Out 2 (2024) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

3.5/5
The Goldfinger (2023) Katie Smith-Wong With an air similar to The Wolf of Wall Street, The Goldfinger‘s chaos is matched by the beguiling on-screen reunion of Tony Leung and Andy Lau, driving this glamorous yet entertaining production.

3/5
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

3.5/5
The Marvels (2023) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

3/5
The Creator (2023) Ron Seoul-Oh For those who can forgive its shortcomings, The Creator is a highly entertaining film with intense action and mind-blowing cinematography.

4/5
Blue Beetle (2023) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

3.5/5
Haunted Mansion (2023) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

3/5
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

4.5/5
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

4.5/5
Werewolf by Night (2022) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

3.5/5
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) Ron Seoul-Oh 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

5/5
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

2/5
The Last Duel (2021) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.
Posted Aug 22, 2022Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Matrix Resurrections (2021) Ron Seoul-Oh A high octane, nostalgic thrill ride with a little bit too much self awareness and an unnecessarily convoluted (even by Matrix standards) plot.

4/5
Definition Please (2020) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.
Posted Aug 22, 2022Edit critic review
4.5/5
No Exit (2022) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.
Posted Aug 22, 2022Edit critic review
4/5
The Batman (2022) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.

4/5
Turning Red (2022) Ron Seoul-Oh 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.
Posted Aug 22, 2022Edit critic review
5/5
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Ron Seoul-Oh [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.

3.5/5
Nope (2022) Ron Seoul-Oh 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
Posted Aug 22, 2022Edit critic review
3.5/5
Emergency Declaration (2021) Ron Seoul-Oh For those who can stomach the too-close-to-home subject matter, Emergency Declaration offers stellar performances by its excellent cast, plenty of suspense and a surprisingly sizable helping of emotions.
