Wicked fails to justify its extremely long runtime, which severely impacts the structure and pacing, knocking it into mediocrity.

Joker: Folie à Deux is a disaster and yet another failure from Warner Bros. and DC as they continue failing to adapt some of the most popular characters of all time.

The Wild Robot proves what this medium can do when the right people are given the right material and the freedom to create art, not content.

Transformers One is another homerun for Paramount Pictures adapting toy commercials into fantastic movies, and proof that 2024 is going to be a powerhouse year for animation.

The Killer's Game had some serious potential, but it's a waste of a good idea, a good cast, and ultimately, a waste of everyone's time.

Deadpool & Wolverine is proof that Marvel has still lost the forest for the trees in terms of lore. Usually, they are getting lost in lore for things to come, but this film is lost in the lore of the past. 

Twisters is a tornado movie that doesn't seem to have faith that the tornados are awe-inspiring but also frightening enough on their own.

Inside Out 2 isn't one of Pixar's worst films, not by a long shot, but it's also not one of the best either, and considering the film it is following, it really needed to be better.

The Imaginary has all the right pieces of the puzzle but stumbles in some smaller and basic aspects that keep it from achieving greatness.

IF isn't a bad film, and for the people with whom it resonates, it will probably become one of their favorite movies, and they won't ever understand what other people have a problem with.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a bit slow to start, but it is ultimately a promising start to a new chapter in this particular franchise.

The Fall Guy isn't going to change anyone's life, but it's a pretty good time at the movies and exactly what everyone wants to kick off the summer holidays with.

Challengers is a sports film is rarely about the sport itself alone, and this film is only "about" tennis in the barest sense. It's about three people and the extremely complicated relationship dynamics that play out over the years that they know each other.

By the time everything in Abigail is coming to a fever pitch, it's like we're watching a completely different film from the one we started with.  While that change could have been fun, instead, the transition felt clunky.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is a film elevated above being entirely mediocre thanks to the style of its director and the chemistry of its ensemble cast.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire takes a standard children's animated film runtime to get going because it is too busy being proud of the references it could throw in.

When Arthur the King hits a streaming service and ends up on airplanes, people will watch it, enjoy it, and probably forget about it several hours later.

Dune: Part Two only stumbles in ways that hardly count, but with Villeneuve expertly guiding a truly talented ensemble cast, it all ultimately comes together.

Madame Web isn't the worst film to come out of the Sony-Marvel experiment; that title still lovingly goes to Morbius, but for every good idea it has, the film executes it poorly.

Lisa Frankenstein has the right pieces for a great short film but doesn't have enough to paint the full picture for a feature presentation.

To reduce Poor Things to nothing more than another debate about whether or not sex "belongs" in film is doing a great disservice to one of the best films of the year.

Migration is one of the better films that Illumination has put out in a long time, which is why it's a shame that it isn't getting the kind of hype it deserves.

Rebel Moon is what happens when someone is handed unlimited money and complete creative freedom without having anyone around them who is willing to tell them "no."

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is a mess in every single possible way, and the fact that it is the final film just makes that messiness all the more egregious and bitter.

Wonka might have some missteps along the way, but most of it doesn't really matter once you're caught up in the candy-coated whimsey of the film.

Dream Scenario feels like one massive missed opportunity for something that could have been great. Instead, it appears that everyone involved decided to play it safe instead of really taking advantage of the concept laid before them.

Napoleon is a film that was made with the intention of being seen on the biggest screen possible, which is why it's all the more ironic that it might be worth waiting for it to hit AppleTV so you can watch the battle scenes and then turn it off.

Wish feels like Disney didn't start with wanting to tell a story about wishing on a star; it feels like they started wondering how they could organically cram as many "legacy nods" to previous films.

The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes isn't a bad time at the theater, and it is interesting to see how the character we know will become the villain descends into madness.

The Marvels is a callback to when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was putting out some pretty good movies where not every aspect of them worked, but it's still a very enjoyable experience.
