Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Zach Pope has been a fan of films since his earliest memory of going to see Toy Story 2… walking into a big building, smelling popcorn, walking down the dark hallway only lit up by movie posters all around, but when he finally sat down scared for what was going to happen in a room filled with darkness… a light shined onto the screen bringing all my nerves down to discover a brand new world. Movies are his life & he finds is the one thing that can bring anyone together. He reviews all films from indies to big blockbusters and everything in between. He is a huge believer that film is subjective and will give anything a fair shot. Film is Art & for me him it’s a getaway to so many incredible places.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “One of the most thought provoking sci-fi films of this decade An insane imaginative odyssey that speaks to AI, the issue with Doom scrolling, & where our society is going… but Gore Verbinski never forgets to make this entertaining & funny” – Zach Pope Reviews Feb 5, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 61% 3.5/5 EDIT “Dives right into an industry that desperately latches onto anything popular & milks it dry for money until it explodes! This entertaining satire combined with Charli XCX creativity & Vulnerability makes this a good watch” – Zach Pope Reviews Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 55% 3.5/5 EDIT “Dracula is back! And the world is fleshed out pretty well!” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 31, 2026 Full Review Shelter (2026) 63% 3/5 EDIT “The first certified DAD flick of 2026! An FX film delight that contains enough of a badass Jason statham to keep you entertained. Ric Roman Waugh continues to pave his way as the master of these underrated films. Is it perfect no? But I was entertained” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 28, 2026 Full Review The Wrecking Crew (2026) 75% 4/5 EDIT “The Wrecking Crew is Bad Boys in Hawaii with Mortal Kombat Level Violence and I enjoyed it!” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 28, 2026 Full Review All You Need Is Kill (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “A damn good anime movie that will blow you away with its visuals ” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 4/5 EDIT “The Sam Raimi movie may have wanted to see him return to! Gruesome, nasty, twisted, funny, entertaining & most importantly all the Raimi Stylistic choices you would want McAdams & O’Brien take toxic work relationships to the next level.” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 3/5 EDIT “shockingly solid. Given I didn’t have that big of expectations. There’s plenty of entertainment to be had here & good messages on the usage of AI & Relying on AI instead of using it as a tool” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 21, 2026 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “You ever watch a movie that has everything that you could possibly want but still walk away unemotionally invested!? That’s this! Not for me but Amanda is incredible” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 19, 2026 Full Review The Rip (2026) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Highly recommend The Rip this weekend on Netflix. Dirty Cops, Millions of Dollars, Affleck, Damon, & some massive shootouts. What more could you ask for? I wanted a thrilling time and I got it” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Bill Skarsgard best performance yet!” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 15, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “The best one yet! It has evolved to its highest form and Nia DaCosta absolutely nailed it twisting the series into something even weirder more thought provoking and gloriously gory. Ralph Fiennes delivers an incredible performance Need the Finale now” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Greenland 2: Migration (2026) 50% 2.5/5 EDIT “A solid sequel even if it doesn’t do much with its concept. What should have been a genre twist from Disaster Flick to Post apocalyptic sadly never makes the full commitment to its ideas. Leaving everything feeling a bit one note & not as developed.” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Great Performances but a lack of a second half really took me out of the experience” – Zach Pope Reviews Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 2/5 EDIT “Anaconda wants to be TROPIC THUNDER with its meta commentary on filmmaking and while it occasionally succeeds with some laughs I never found the film to actually go all out with its concepts. ” – Zach Pope Reviews Dec 23, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “A huge surprise. I expected an interesting an slickly made drama with some thrilling moments & maybe one or two twists BUT WTF that was WILD. Twist after twist, I WAS TRYING TO NOT VERBALLY react multiple times. Great movie to watch with a full crowd” – Zach Pope Reviews Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 5/5 EDIT “The perfect closing chapter for the Sully family… and an equally perfect beginning for what comes next. It’s a breathtaking epic that stuns with awe inspiring beauty, through emotional dark storytelling, and expands Pandora in ways that I needed” – Zach Pope Reviews Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 3/5 EDIT “Better than the original and Fans of the games are going to scream at some of the surprises packed into this sequel. And while I had a blast with it for what it is and genuinely think it’s a great entry-level horror for kids the script… yeah, it’s rough” – Zach Pope Reviews Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 94% 5/5 EDIT “OH MY GOD Marty Supreme is EVERYTHING you want from a movie. A chaotic masterpiece that carries the energy of Catch Me If You Can meets Wolf Of Wall Street & Uncut Gems. Timothee Chalamet gives one of the best performances of this decade” – Zach Pope Reviews Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Might be better than the original! It’s just as timely if not more thanks to its expanded world building and the incredible introduction of the Reptiles of Zootopia. It’s hilarious, heartfelt, and the chemistry between Judy and Nick is better than ever.” – Zach Pope Reviews Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 4.5/5 EDIT “Wow A24’s Eternity might be one of my favorite romantic comedies ever. It perfectly nails that sweet spot between being a high concept idea about choosing your "forever one"” – Zach Pope Reviews Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “An utterly devastating, profoundly emotional, and beautifully sincere tragedy the kind only Chloé Zhao could bring to life with such grace. She effortlessly captures the intimate ways we grieve, reminding us to cherish every moment! ” – Zach Pope Reviews Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “BEST knives out film yet (they just get better and better) Rian Johnson crafts the most thematically rich film in the franchise yet that showcases growth for our favorite detective & makes me eager for his next mystery already.” – Zach Pope Reviews Nov 23, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Magical but not as magical as Part One… a good conclusion that will swell fans with emotion and whimsy from the incredible performances from Ervio & Grande. (Grande steals the show) The movie just feels like it needed more for it to warrant being split” – Zach Pope Reviews Nov 19, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 4/5 EDIT “A movie you’ll want to RUN to the theater for. Wright delivers a razor sharp, adrenaline fueled satire that brilliantly attacks our government & obsession with reality TV, all while keeping you on the edge of your seat.” – Zach Pope Reviews Nov 12, 2025 Full Review
