Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) |
[I]t primarily functions on its own individual wave length and succeeds because of its light energy and terrific ensemble of wonderful characters. - CinemaBlend

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) |
John Wick: Chapter 4 earns every second of its epic runtime, and there’s a strong argument to be made that it’s the best of the sequels. - CinemaBlend

65 (2023) |
It leans more toward “disappointing” than “awful,” but at least “awful” would have made it more interesting. - CinemaBlend

Creed III (2023) |
We are just two months into the year 2023, and already cinema has successfully imparted a message that will not soon fade from thought: Jonathan Majors is a phenomenal actor. - CinemaBlend

Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023) |
Andy Serkis is given fun latitude to play an unapologetically hyper-evil sadist, but the narrative is far too tight for the movie’s own good. - CinemaBlend

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) |
[A] blockbuster that’s never compelling for more than five minutes at a time and has nothing original or special to contribute to the superhero genre. - CinemaBlend

The Whale (2022) |
[Brendan Fraser is] an enchanting performer, and that’s accentuated in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale: a film that has the actor serving as a powerful, bright light in a dark pool of despair. - CinemaBlend

Babylon (2022) |
The back half of the film, while it does have its highlights, demonstrates an inability for the movie to fully carry its own weight, and the multi-faceted narrative descends into tropes and some groan-worthy material before the end credits start to roll. - CinemaBlend

House Party (2023) |
It plays around with a handful of hilarious bits and certainly does hit some satisfying extremes, but they represent small spikes of entertainment as the movie primarily plateaus across its second and third acts... - CinemaBlend

Missing (2023) |
It gets a bit silly, but never too much to undermine the tension, and it stays grounded thanks to a solid lead turn by Storm Reid. - CinemaBlend

Infinity Pool (2023) |
[Cronenberg's] boundary-pushing aesthetic is weaponized brilliantly in Infinity Pool, an extreme examination of the lawlessness of the affluent. - CinemaBlend

Knock at the Cabin (2023) |
It assumes a strange lack of imagination in the minds of its audience, and that fatal flaw prevents it from ever getting anywhere near a satisfying conclusion to the story. - CinemaBlend

Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (2022) |

Terrifier 2 (2022) |
It’s easy to be appalled by the sight of a killer clown slashing a woman’s face, scalping her, and then snapping her arm off like a tree branch, but it’s way more fun to be mesmerized by the demonstrated craft that brings it all to life... - CinemaBlend

Ticket to Paradise (2022) |
Off-putting as the characters are together, their team-up to “Trojan horse” their daughter only exacerbates the awfulness as they try to exploit Balinese customs to ruin Lily’s wedding instead of just expressing their concerns. - CinemaBlend

Black Adam (2022) |
Given the number of years this project was in development, and how it was promoted to shift the balance of power in the DC Universe, it’s disappointing that the end result is so unremarkable. - CinemaBlend

Mr. Harrigan's Phone (2022) |
[I]t’s a dull and lagging feature that tries to be both a coming-of-age drama and a supernatural horror film, and it ends up failing to make an emotional impact with either genre. - CinemaBlend

Day Shift (2022) |
It’s a generic mess in its execution from opening to close, and only made more baffling by the fact that it stumbles on to interesting ideas, but then clearly has no clue what to do with them - CinemaBlend

Bullet Train (2022) |
