Movie Review: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A buddy superhero comedy that never quite lands to due to weak jokes, wooden characters and minimal chemistry between the leads. The basic plot itself is fine, but it takes too long to lay out the stakes, and even then, there’s not a great indication on how bad things… Read More »

Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Despite the mediocre villain and the uninspiring plot, this film is still an emotional ride thanks to the character moments that pay off many plot points, some going all the way back to the first film. The basic plot is fairly straightforward, but with a few obstacles peppered-in plus… Read More »

Movie Review: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mildly entertaining film that feels like a bit of a throwback to late 90’s era action flicks. The pacing is little all over the place early on and it’s hard to see exactly where the plot is heading but once it gets on track things get pretty predictable.… Read More »

Movie Review: John Wick: Chapter 4

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Despite a slow start, this film eventually becomes another solid action flick and one of the better films in the franchise.

The story quickly dives into the untimely death of Bozeman, and eerily mirrors it with the… Read More »

Movie Review: Jurassic World Dominion

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mediocre film that brings together the “Jurassic World” and “Jurassic Park” franchises that can’t overcome ridiculously over the top action, lame dinosaurs and not-so-intimidating human villains. The plot at its heart is flimsy, but the execution ramps it up to eleven to cover this fact. The two storylines… Read More »

Movie Review: The Matrix Resurrections

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube After a nearly twenty-year absence, “The Matrix” franchise returns and the film doesn’t just struggle to get out of the trilogy’s shadow, it intentionally spends a lot of time in it. The latest movie in the series is part sequel, part meta-commentary, and part love letter to the originals.… Read More »

Movie Review: Spider-Man: No Way Home

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube Tying together the current MCU Spider-Man films and the two previous Spider-Man franchises, this film manages to advance story elements in a satisfying (but mostly predictable) fashion. The plot has some really good concepts that move the story forward from where it ended in “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” while… Read More »
