6.5/10
Superman (2025) Mahmoud Mahdy This isn’t a bad movie. But it’s a tough one to ease into. And it’s frustrating to realize that after all the lessons DC was supposed to learn, this reboot learned none of them.

The Substance (2024) Mahmoud Mahdy A cleverly crafted film that places gore in the middle of fame and beauty, without the lack of wit and sarcasm, to effectively challenge society's obsession with youth.

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) Mahmoud Mahdy Like Arthur Fleck, I fantasize about a world where this movie was never made .. and I dance and sing a lot in that world.

Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Mahmoud Mahdy In the hands of any filmmaker, other than Scorsese, Mollie and her family would've turned into fleeting images covered in dust with the focus shifting towards how the crimes occurred and how far they went. Problem is .. I can't decide which I prefer!

Crisis (2021) Mahmoud Mahdy If I walked out of Crisis with the amount of knowledge and awareness that I learnt, then it was a time well spent .. and I didn't walk out with just that.

Black Widow (2021) Mahmoud Mahdy In a film that is mostly colourless, David Harbour stands out with an undeniable shade of red.

Project Power (2020) Mahmoud Mahdy I hear high concept ideas like this from aspiring writers all the time and I always think, this can't be enough to make a good screenplay, let alone a good film

The Banker (2020) Mahmoud Mahdy Much fresher and richer than what you'd think looking at it from the outside.

Knives Out (2019) Mahmoud Mahdy Knives Out is further proof that the key factor behind exceptional success in 2019 cinema is risk taking.

John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum (2019) Mahmoud Mahdy I think by now it's safe to say that John Wick films are the standard setting products for the entire genre

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) Mahmoud Mahdy Historical accuracy is not my problem, do what you want to serve your creative vision. My problem is that there's no creative vision.

Mandy (2018) Mahmoud Mahdy Cage's performance didn't develop or change, it just falls in the right place, where his crazy reactions & over the top acting become traits that help the film & distinguish him.

Yomeddine (2018) Mahmoud Mahdy The acts of the trip that, when put together, form the film are very well paced, with just about the right dosage of pain and humour to keep it balanced

Alien: Covenant (2017) Mahmoud Mahdy A superior film to its predecessor and, maybe, with different circumstances, boosting its influence and effectiveness, it would've reached the highest spot in the "Alien" pyramid

The Great Wall (2016) Mahmoud Mahdy An epic spectacle of warfare, action sequences, and inventive weaponry, wrapped up in top notch cinematography and visual effects .. Only with a repetitive story at its core.

Central Intelligence (2016) Mahmoud Mahdy I laughed hard watching "Central Intelligence" and I believe it's the best movie so far that has been designed around the type of comedy where Kevin Hart belongs

Trumbo (2015) Mahmoud Mahdy In his 1st project on the serious side, after movies like The Campaign, Dinner for Schmucks & Meet the Parents, Jay Roach delivers a rather fine job.

Room (2015) Mahmoud Mahdy Room is the black horse of the season & the greatest way to give credit to independent cinema, as well as authors turning their own production into screenplays.

The Witch (2015) Mahmoud Mahdy Associating the movie with mysteries and thrillers, rather than horror, sounds more fitting for me to appreciate the beautiful picture that Robert Eggers is introducing.
