Disneyland Handcrafted (2026) 4/5 EDIT “It’s not the worst thing when a fun, engaging documentary makes you want to learn more about its subject.” – Nerdist Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Like the 2016 original, it works. Because while Zootopia 2 does tread familiar ground, it does so in a way that’s entertaining and moving enough to make it a worthy sequel.” – Nerdist Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “We all just want to be seen. This movie fundamentally understands, with clear eyes, why that’s true of all of us, no matter our age, our experiences, or where we come from. And for that reason you should see Rental Family.” – Nerdist Nov 21, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 63% 4.5/5 EDIT “I think it will ultimately work for a lot of doubters on a second viewing. Once you understand what The Running Man is actually saying, and that the unusual way it speaks and why, you’ll appreciate why this excellent film works.” – Nerdist Nov 14, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 4/5 EDIT “By spending less time in the grid and making a more serious film, the franchise’s third installment also loses some of its wonderful silliness. But it doesn’t lose all of it. In some wonderful spots, it fully embraces it. ” – Nerdist Oct 7, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 3/5 EDIT “A well-disguised, hollow hagiography hiding behind a great Dwayne Johnson performance.” – Nerdist Sep 25, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 5/5 EDIT “This movie makes you feel as though you're really traveling the world with a real Formula 1 operation. ” – Nerdist Jun 18, 2025 Full Review Elio (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's a delightful, good little film full of lots of heart. And a night at the movies going on that kind of journey through the universe still sounds pretty great to me.” – Nerdist Jun 17, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “While it is essentially pointless artistically, the live-action How To Train Your Dragon remake is good.” – Nerdist Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 2.5/5 EDIT “Captain America: Brave New World fails to deliver the movie that both its leading man and its titular hero deserve. ” – Nerdist Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 18% 3/5 EDIT “Whether anyone making the movie realized it or not, Love Hurts desperately wants to be an entertaining action-comedy. That’s clearly what it was meant to be. And when it’s allowed to be exactly that, it’s really good. ” – Nerdist Feb 6, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% 4.5/5 EDIT “Simply put, this is the best performance of Timothée Chalamet’s life.” – Nerdist Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 60% 3/5 EDIT “If you accept it for what it is, rather than what it’s not, you’ll have a better time watching Moana and Maui team-up again. ” – Nerdist Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 3.5/5 EDIT “Venom: The Last Dance is an alien-invasion combined with a buddy road trip.” – Nerdist Oct 23, 2024 Full Review Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “The result is that, unlike its still perfect namesake, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is okay okay. ” – Nerdist Sep 4, 2024 Full Review Kinds of Kindness (2024) 71% 3/5 EDIT “It’s operating on its own bizarre frequency and how you hear it, and what you make of it when you do, is entirely up for you. The result is a movie that is equally fascinating and frustrating.” – Nerdist Jun 26, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% 2.5/5 EDIT “With both so much going for it and so many fundamental issues, it definitely evokes one strong emotion: “meh.”” – Nerdist Jun 12, 2024 Full Review The Watchers (2024) 33% 1/5 EDIT “It’s almost incomprehensible how bad this screenplay is. It really lacks the most basic elements of a coherent story, let along a decent one.” – Nerdist Jun 6, 2024 Full Review Abigail (2024) 83% 4/5 EDIT “It’s not as gory as you might expect. But by the end of the film, you’ll feel as though you personally swam in a pool of blood.” – Nerdist Apr 18, 2024 Full Review Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) 42% 2.5/5 EDIT “Frozen Empire is burdened by too many characters telling bad jokes to be good, but it at least put them all in the New York City firehouse. That’s where the Ghostbusters, both old and new, belong.” – Nerdist Mar 20, 2024 Full Review Argylle (2024) 33% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite my issues, it’s ultimately a fun, incredibly clever and original film that will entertain you with its action, make you laugh with (most of) its comedy, and have you feeling genuine emotions for its characters.” – Nerdist Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Wish (2023) 48% 2.5/5 EDIT “There are also a few moments where it seems like it might get weird and interesting, but then a talking bunny shows up and it feels trite. There’s a fine line between tribute and banal. Wish is not close to the line. It revels in being derivative.” – Nerdist Nov 17, 2023 Full Review Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) 93% 5/5 EDIT “This is a work of art whose genius is impossible to appreciate until it is finished. This isn’t just a heartbreaking story about greed, power, and how we treat one another. This is also a story about whose stories get told and how they are remembered.” – Nerdist Oct 16, 2023 Full Review The Creator (2023) 67% 3/5 EDIT “When the credits rolled on the film I was glad I’d seen it. If nothing else it’s incredible to look at.” – Nerdist Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) 96% 5/5 EDIT “It’s difficult for even the best franchises, filmmakers, and stars to make something this good even once. So after doing it four times I have to wonder if Mission: Impossible no longer qualifies as a Hollywood miracle.” – Nerdist Jul 5, 2023 Full Review
