Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) |
For a film that’s so busy on so many levels, Across the Spider-Verse never gets bogged down in its own mythology nor overly reliant on references and easter eggs. - Mulviews

Creed III (2023) |
While Creed III is no match for the initial film that started it all, it’s still a smart, competent sequel that once again sees Adonis Creed forging his own legacy outside the shadow of his father and Rocky Balboa. - Mulviews

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) |
Quantumania works best when it’s focused on being a silly self-contained sci-fi movie and not the laying the foundation for the next couple of years of movies and Disney+ shows. - Mulviews
