8.5/10
Superman (2025) John Campea A Superman who not only entertains, but inspires his audience to want to be better human beings. The Superman of hope, kindness, empathy… the real American way.

6/10
The Marvels (2023) John Campea The strengths of the film (character’s chemistry, humor, Ms Marvel) overcome the multiple weaknesses of the film (certain cringy sequences, weak villain, pacing) to deliver a mildly enjoyable film.

1922 (2017) John Campea The performances are great from top-to-bottom...this was a movie that probably should have been on the big screen.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) John Campea As charming and joyful as the original.

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) John Campea It certainly leans more into the "silly" aspects of humor, but the end result is still solidly entertaining and funny. Lots of tears near the end of the film. Doesn't give much more direction to the MCU as a whole, but as a THOR movie it absolutely works.

House of Gucci (2021) John Campea Incredible, almost hard to reconcile seeing Leto on screen...
Posted Mar 10, 2022  Edit critic review
The Batman (2022) John Campea Matt Reeves has managed to create perhaps the perfect Batman movie. Never before has it felt like the Gotham Knight has jumped right from the page to real life as he has here.

8/10
Eternals (2021) John Campea The most unique of the MCU universe, Eternals adds the largest dimension of new mythology and universe expansion than any film before it.

Free Guy (2021) John Campea A surprisingly original and endearingly entertaining trip into a virtual world with very real world laughs.

Immortals (2011) John Campea It has terrific action.

3/10
Extraction (2020) John Campea An emotionally artificial and relentlessly dull affair dressed up in some truly exceptional action. But when the bullets stop flying, you realize there's nothing else there.

9/10
Joker (2019) John Campea What happens when a broken person is immersed in a broken environment. A question brilliantly asked by JOKER.

7/10
Avengers: Endgame (2019) John Campea Despite the first 2 hours being a mix of pros and cons, the final hour is perhaps the greatest hour in the history of the genre, making Endgame a truly satisfying conclusion to the 22 film arc.

8.5/10
Shazam! (2019) John Campea A magnificently heartfelt, entertaining and hilarious look at a what happens when a good kid takes on the body of a man and the powers of a god. Solidifies DC's new direction!

7/10
Captain Marvel (2019) John Campea An important Marvel movie that connects a lot of dots the MCU has generated over 20+ films. Not one of the TOP tier MCU films, but a solid and entertaining one nonetheless

4/10
Glass (2019) John Campea A wasted opportunity of a movie that tries to shamelessly pander to a fan base it clearly doesn't actually understand. Flashes of excellence that never materializes into anything more than fleeting moments.

9/10
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) John Campea A magnificent introduction to Miles Morales who most fans don't know, all while honoring and highlighting Peter Parker who we all know.
Posted Dec 21, 2018  Edit critic review
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018) John Campea I really appreciated what they did in this film, though I am not a Potterhead...
Posted Nov 21, 2018  Edit critic review
Overlord (2018) John Campea Overlord is a fun film. It's really well done, exciting, gruesome, and all of the things you were looking to see...it's tonally consistent with the trailers.
Posted Nov 20, 2018  Edit critic review
The Cloverfield Paradox (2018) John Campea It has that kind of heart pounding intensity in action that just goes from the beginning of the film right through to the end and even the moments that the movie pauses.
Posted Nov 16, 2018  Edit critic review
Tomb Raider (2018) John Campea Good enough if you run out and give it a shot...not good enough to open the floodgates of a new era of video game movie greatness. The adventure of the film feels great, and tangible.
Posted Aug 28, 2018  Edit critic review
Death Wish (2018) John Campea I like Eli Roth and Bruce Willis, but I couldn't wait to get out of the theater.
Posted Aug 28, 2018  Edit critic review
Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) John Campea The problem is, for the vast majority of the film, you have straight narrative that isn't particularly interesting, and you find yourself checking out before you get to the action.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Avengers: Infinity War (2018) John Campea You do feel the weight of a little too much going on, but at the end of the day, the movie never breaks under that. Easily the best villain the MCU has ever had.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Ready Player One (2018) John Campea It's a win across the board...when Spielberg decides to use a piece of pop culture or nostalgia, he uses it as an integral part of the story.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) John Campea It's not a perfect film, but it is a pure fun summer adventure. That's what they were going for, and that's what they absolutely crush.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) John Campea It does a pretty damn good job, and overcomes its shortcomings in relation to its villain. It doesn't live up to the magic of the first, but you get past that with the thrills and horrors and scares that a Jurassic movie gives you.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Deadpool 2 (2018) John Campea Probably the best end sequence of any comic book movie of all-time...the entertainment value of Deadpool 2 is off the charts.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
A Wrinkle in Time (2018) John Campea There was lots of potential here. It's a challenging movie to make, as you can tell from the source material...but at the end of the day, it doesn't work.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Red Sparrow (2018) John Campea They do a good job with the political intrigue of it, but it's just not enough to overcome the unbearable sluggishness of it.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Isle of Dogs (2018) John Campea Great dialogue, really good heart, and most of the humor does indeed work.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Rampage (2018) John Campea If you go in with a big soda and a big bowl of popcorn, you'll probably have a good time too...it's a movie that understands the ridiculousness of its premise and embrace it.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Tag (2018) John Campea I had a good time watching it overall, just don't expect anything Oscar-worthy.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Blockers (2018) John Campea While it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be, and John Cena isn't quite there yet as a leading man in a movie...it's still funny and it still delivers laughs.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
A Quiet Place (2018) John Campea This movie is a winner on every level...I won't be shocked at all if people start talking about A Quiet Place getting Oscar buzz.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018) John Campea A charming, fun and entertaining ride all along the way.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Incredibles 2 (2018) John Campea Another huge triumph for Pixar. What an amazing job by Brad Bird.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Mile 22 (2018) John Campea The underlying story made no sense, none. This was a frustrating movie to watch.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Ocean's 8 (2018) John Campea I genuinely laughed throughout the film...there are some nice peppered-in cameos and surprises as well.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
The Meg (2018) John Campea Terrible dialogue. Really forced, awful emotionalism here and there. It felt like actors not really having a sense of direction.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
The Happytime Murders (2018) John Campea It works as a 1980s-style buddy-cop movie, a love letter to that style. I was eating it up on that level as well.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) John Campea It just shouldn't exist...overall, save your money.
Posted Aug 27, 2018  Edit critic review
Crazy Rich Asians (2018) John Campea A fairly-harmless, often-charming and entertaining paint-by-numbers romantic comedy...it has some good laughs along the way, and I walked out having been entertained.
