Superman (2025) 83% EDIT “Anything you can expect from a James Gunn Superhero film you can expect that here in Superman.” – Nerd Reactor Jul 8, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “"Thunderbolts was a refreshing take on the superhero team movies, and it comprises of a bunch of antiheroes as they try to do good while dealing with their messed up past. The heart of the film is Florence Pugh, David Harbour and Lewis Pullman.” – Nerd Reactor Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 78% EDIT “Robert Pattinson is a blast to watch as he plays different characters in Mickey 17, and there is fun to be had watching a human colony trying to survive a hostile world. However, it was a lost opportunity with the film switching up the third act.” – Nerd Reactor Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “[Companion] is a delightful blend of hilarity, intensity, and suspense, driven by Drew Hancock’s sharp direction and script. The performances by Quaid, Thatcher and the rest of the cast elevate the film into something truly memorable.” – Nerd Reactor Jan 22, 2025 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% 3.5/5 EDIT “Mufasa: The Lion King is an improvement over the 2019 film with an engaging story that isn’t a remake and a more emotive facial animation of the animals.” – Nerd Reactor Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 60% EDIT “Moana 2 felt like a way inferior Moana 1.” – Nerd Reactor Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 2/5 EDIT “Venom: The Last Dance is unintentionally hilarious, and many parts had me rolling my eyes. The friendship between Eddie Brock and Venom was fun. Sadly, the story, dialogue, and characters were mediocre.” – Nerd Reactor Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Transformers One (2024) 89% EDIT “Transformers One was surprisingly well done. It's now one of my favorite Transformers movies and is an entertaining adventure where we get to see the rise of Megatron and Optimus Prime.” – Nerd Reactor Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% EDIT “Joker: Folie à Deux defies all expectations. Dancing and music are pivotal in the first Joker film, and it’s blown up into a jukebox musical with raw and engaging performances from Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix. ” – Nerd Reactor Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% EDIT “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is quirky, funny, and weird and Tim Burton brings back the magic and nostalgia. ” – Nerd Reactor Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% EDIT “[Deadpool & Wolverine has] got the irreverent humor... Lots of bloody, brutal action. A lot of inappropriate jokes. Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool [and] Hugh Jackman as Wolverine - they are the best at their game. ” – Nerd Reactor Jul 24, 2024 Full Review A Quiet Place: Day One (2024) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn are absolutely captivating in A Quiet Place: Day One. ” – Nerd Reactor Jun 27, 2024 Full Review The Imaginary (2023) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Imaginary has a lot of heart and adventure and dives deep into loss and love compellingly. The English dub is top-notch, the animation is imaginative, vivid, and detailed, and the characters are endearing.” – Nerd Reactor Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) 65% EDIT “Adil and Bilall have stepped up their game to deliver a crowd-pleaser of a film. ” – Nerd Reactor Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “The epic spaghetti Western features an excellent score from Ennio Morricone, sweeping cinematography, and a gritty cast with rugged features that are great for Leone’s close-up and long takes.” – Nerd Reactor May 21, 2024 Full Review IF (2024) 51% EDIT “[If] is a cute movie, but there were some slow and boring scenes. It's a family movie, but it felt very depressing.” – Nerd Reactor May 17, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Mad Max: Fury Road is still at the top spot for the best in the series, but Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a solid prequel with epic and lengthy action sequences, sweeping landscapes, and a colorful cast of characters.” – Nerd Reactor May 15, 2024 Full Review Deep Sky (2023) 100% EDIT “Deep Sky is a wondrous documentary that gives us a marvelous look at the universe.” – Nerd Reactor Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Damsel (2024) 56% EDIT “Damsel is intense and gripping, and it was surprising to see how bloody and gory the film can get.” – Nerd Reactor Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% EDIT “Dune Part Two is almost 3 hours long, and it still left me wanting more. Denis Villeneuve is back with another sweeping epic. It has to be seen on the biggest screen and the loudest speakers, and the Dolby Atmos version I experienced was shaking my seats.” – Nerd Reactor Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Madame Web (2024) 10% 2/5 EDIT “The way it's directed, the dialogue, the writing or the performances... nothing really stands out.” – Nerd Reactor Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) 33% 3.5/5 EDIT “There’s plenty of action and adventure with Jason Momoa having a blast as Arthur Curry. Seeing Momoa and Patrick Wilson teaming up was something I didn’t know I needed, but I want more of their adventures.” – Nerd Reactor Dec 21, 2023 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “The result is the best Godzilla film since the original 1954 film thanks to the compelling story, Godzilla doing what Godzilla does best, wonderful cast, and stunning cinematography.” – Nerd Reactor Nov 13, 2023 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 63% EDIT “Dull, bland villain. The chemistry between Carol and Monica is very lacking. The story is all over the place.” – Nerd Reactor Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) 33% EDIT “Just seeing the animatronics by Jim Henson, I thought it was done really well. They look creepy.” – Nerd Reactor Oct 26, 2023 Full Review
