TRON: Ares (2025) Doug Walker One of the most impressive IMAX experiences of the year, unfortunately the characters talk.

HIM (2025) Doug Walker While the ending goes comically abstract to the point of not caring, the way the lead sees his environment captures the pressure, anxiety, and physical demands of being an athlete along with the impossible cult-like standards society expects from them.

The Long Walk (2025) Doug Walker One of the best Stephen King adaptations.

Weapons (2025) Doug Walker Scary, funny, suspenseful, mysterious, and unpredictable. We're in a great age for horror films.

The Naked Gun (2025) Doug Walker A movie that cheerfully reminds you parody films can still be funny.

2.5 / 4
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Doug Walker Unlike James Gunn's Superman, we haven't seen Fantastic Four's origin done well on the big screen, so starting off in the middle of their story can create a disconnect. I do think there's an audience for this film who won't be bothered by that though.

Superman (2025) Doug Walker A messy spectacle, but still a spectacle.

Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Doug Walker When in the first two minutes a dinosaur escapes a high security laboratory with a candy wrapper, you know you got a bad script.

M3GAN 2.0 (2025) Doug Walker Like jumping from the first 'Fast and Furious' movie to the ninth.

3.5 / 4
Elio (2025) Doug Walker A movie that should be seen not just because it's charming and visually dazzling, but because it'll encourage companies like Disney to put more effort into original ideas.

2.5 / 4
How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Doug Walker I'm surprised at how many scenes do improve on the original, but the majority is still recycled storyboards and sound bytes without the fresh originality.

Lilo & Stitch (2025) Doug Walker Good performances and some decent laughs are ruined by distracting editing on par with 'Kraven' and 'Madame Web.'

Sinners (2025) Doug Walker Slick, stylish, scary, engaging, and musically stellar. This is a film that is worth all the hype.

2.5 / 4
Thunderbolts* (2025) Doug Walker Good acting and action can't overshadow tired comedic dialogue, choppy pacing, and inconsistent character development. I do think there's an audience out there who will see the acting and action as entertaining enough though.

A Minecraft Movie (2025) Doug Walker Any section of this movie could be a fake trailer from 'Tropic Thunder.'

Disney's Snow White (2025) Doug Walker A Disney film production with a Disney Channel script.

Stream (2024) Doug Walker Despite the main characters being bores, there is an audience who will enjoy the fun cameos, creative kills, and imaginative concept.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) Doug Walker Certainly uneven, but still turns out a creative and enjoyable video game flick.

Terrifier 3 (2024) Doug Walker Wonderfully gross, disturbing, dark and hilarious for any fan of slasher movies.

Smile 2 (2024) Doug Walker One of the rare sequels that's better than the original in every way.

Wicked (2024) Doug Walker Fans of the musical and musicals in general will no doubt enjoy it.

Moana 2 (2024) Doug Walker A very "by the book" sequel, but I think it's goal is to look nice, sound nice, and have a story that's interesting enough for a pleasant adventure. On that level, it succeeds.

Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) Doug Walker Sadly doesn't justify existing as a sequel or a musical.

The Wild Robot (2024) Doug Walker Aggressively delightful.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) Doug Walker True it's not for everyone, the characters are one note and the story's a mess, but the funny performances, creative effects, zany humor, and high energy did make it a good time.

The Crow (2024) Doug Walker While it does have good performances and a decent visual language, a clumsy script and inevitable comparisons to the original doom it on arrival.
Posted Aug 24, 2024  Edit critic review

Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Doug Walker A film that solely relies on comedy, action, and fan service, but it does all three of them very well.
Posted Jul 27, 2024  Edit critic review

Despicable Me 4 (2024) Doug Walker Like they took any jokes that didn't work in the previous installments and squeezed them all into this film.

Inside Out 2 (2024) Doug Walker One of the rare sequels that not only matches the original, but may also surpass it.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Doug Walker A film of abundance.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) Doug Walker While the hero's journey is very familiar, it has the right amount of intensity, surprises, and beautiful effects that are believable and emotive.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) Doug Walker A good enough time for monster lovers, even if it does feel like 'King Kong with Special Appearance by Godzilla at the End.'
Posted Mar 30, 2024  Edit critic review
3 / 4
Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) Doug Walker While nowhere near as deep or epic as the previous installments, there is just enough comedy and heart to make this a passable family film.
Posted Mar 10, 2024  Edit critic review
4 / 4
Dune: Part Two (2024) Doug Walker This is the Imax experience the Avatar movies wish they could be: a spectacle with grand visuals and EQUALLY grand writing.

Madame Web (2024) Doug Walker People will wish this was made by Warner Bros. so it'd be abandoned for a tax write-off.
Posted Feb 16, 2024  Edit critic review
2.5 / 4
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) Doug Walker Almost worth a recommendation, but when a film about animatronics killing has very little animatronics killing, many won't get their money's worth.

Oppenheimer (2023) Doug Walker It's the film Christopher Nolan was born to direct.
Posted Jul 28, 2023  Edit critic review
2.5 / 4
Barbie (2023) Doug Walker While there are great laughs and visuals, it's a case of the commentary leading the characters rather than the characters leading the commentary. When you forget the characters the film is supposed to be about are even in the film, there's a problem.
Posted Jul 20, 2023  Edit critic review
3.5 / 4
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) Doug Walker While a better title would be 'Mission: Ridiculous,' it is an entertaining, fun, adrenaline filled ridiculous.
Posted Jul 08, 2023  Edit critic review
2/4
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Doug Walker Very dull and forgettable. Indiana Jones isn't fighting people as much as trying not to get hit.
Posted Jul 01, 2023  Edit critic review
3/4
The Flash (2023) Doug Walker Despite the effects being very 'Polar Express', the creativity and emotional moments work well enough to make this film worth recommending.
Posted Jun 16, 2023  Edit critic review
4 / 4
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) Doug Walker We're at a point once more where animation is doing what live action can't. The future of cinema is in the Spider-Verse.
