7

Good

Twisters Review - An Amusing Romp That Won't Make You Think Too Hard

It's a little bit bigger, and a little bit better, but this Twister re-do is still mostly just spectacle.

8

Great

Good

Director Adam Wingard is back for another awesome round of spectacular monster mash-ups.

5

Mediocre

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Review - Ghostbusters 3 In 2024, For Better Or Worse

Superb

Denis Villeneuve's Dune sequel is much weirder and more fun than the first one.

6

Fair

Madame Web Review - Marvel's First Slasher

Sony's latest Marvel flick is delightfully subversive, until a paint-by-numbers climax nearly ruins it.

5

Mediocre

Halo Season 2 Review - New But Not Improved

The Halo TV show is back, and the first four episodes are just as messy as Season 1.

5

Mediocre

Despite its unique protagonist, Echo doesn't manage to differentiate itself from the dozens of other Marvel shows and movies we've already watched.

8

Great

The last film in the current DC movieverse is another gorgeous and awesome roller coaster ride from director James Wan.

8

Great

This prequel more than justifies its own existence--it's the best movie in the series.

7

Good

The Marvels Review - Meaningless Fun

It's a well-made and fun action flick, but is that enough?

7

Good

Five Nights At Freddy's Movie Review - Too Much Plot

The long-gestating Five Nights at Freddy's movie is mostly a good time, but it gets bogged down with an overly complicated story.

9

Superb

Killers Of The Flower Moon Review - Not Long Enough

Martin Scorsese's latest is quite lengthy, but that's a good thing.

6

Fair

The Exorcist: Believer Review - Spooky, But Overly Familiar

It's good horror, but a new Exorcist movie needs to be more than that.

7

Good

Are we actually going anywhere with this? It's hard to tell with the new season of the Disney+ series.

3

Bad

Expendables 4 Review - They Made Another One

It's not a good movie, but it does deliver some solid action.

2

Terrible

Ahsoka Review - For Star Wars: Rebels Fans Only

If you don't already care about Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren, this show probably isn't for you.

3

Bad

Blue Beetle Review - Spared Lots Of Expense

Blue Beetle doesn't do much to improve DC's bad year at the movies.

9

Superb

Oppenheimer Review - Christopher Nolan's Big One

Despite the complexity of its structure, Oppenheimer never feels overwhelming, and Christopher Nolan managed to make exactly the movie he set out to make.

7

Good

Insidious: The Red Door - Once More Into The Further

Franchise star Patrick Wilson makes his directorial debut on the very solid fifth Insidious movie.

6

Fair

The Flash Review - Fast-Paced Fun At First, But Runs Out Of Steam

It starts off as a fun time-travel adventure, and ends as a bizarre half-hour cacophony of ugly CGI.

5

Mediocre

Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Review - Robots In Decline

The action isn't cool enough to make up for its cobbled-together story.

8

Great

Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Review

It's gloriously beautiful, incessantly funny, and deeply emotional, but this Spider-sequel's story misses the spot.

4

Poor

Fast X Review - One Quarter-Mile Forward, Two Quarter-Miles Back

Fast X wants to be a greatest hits album, but instead, it's mostly just a collection of low-quality covers.

7

Good

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Review - One Last Emotional Ride

The film is immaculately constructed by writer/director James Gunn, but the story is missing something.

8

Great

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Review - Actually Awesome

More than just another cartoon comedy, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a surprisingly great action flick.

5

Mediocre

Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania Review
