B	The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)	Monita Roy Mohan	The Fantastic Four: First Steps brings a stunning new aesthetic to the MCU...While the story is focused, with personal stakes that keep the tension alive, it also falls short, turning to tropes and old-fashioned sensibilities.

	Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)	Monita Roy Mohan	Birds of Prey is a breath of fresh air in an already predictable landscape of superhero fare. This film is evidence that dark and distressing subject-matter can be dealt with in a poignant manner, and without it being too on-the-nose. Posted Jul 17, 2025 Edit critic review
	Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)	Monita Roy Mohan	Wonder Woman 1984 doesn’t break the mold and is a far cry from being an accomplished execution (a Birds of Prey it isn’t, unfortunately), but it combines classic storytelling elements to create an emotionally-charged, yet feel-good film.

B+	Thunderbolts* (2025)	Monita Roy Mohan	Thunderbolts* is an exciting entry in the MCU, eschewing formula for a deeper dive into the mental wellbeing of some of its characters. Though the film is afraid to go too far in to the darkness, it makes up for it through stunning special effects. Posted Jul 17, 2025 Edit critic review
