Blood Father
“The dialogue is clever, laced with satire, but not too much; in spots, it’s lightly reminiscent of Shane Black.”
Suicide Squad
“[Has] an erratic tone and butchered-to-hell narrative flow…[and] feels icky with flop sweat.”
Jason Bourne
“You might wish Bourne had stayed in hiding instead of going through the motions one more time.”
Ghostbusters
“With its somewhat scaled-back scares, it feels a bit more like a kids’ movie than the original.”
The Infiltrator
“The best thing the film has working for it is its sense of tension. It does, however, become plodding.”
The Secret Life of Pets
“Children won’t mind the familiar narrative and will flock to it because of the likeable animals.”
Warcraft
“Takes a video game with a paper-thin premise and attempts to craft a low-rent ‘Lord of the Rings.'”
TMNT: Out of the Shadows
“They got the four turtles and villains Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang exactly right.”
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
“At its best when it is making specific, pointed jokes.”
X-Men: Apocalypse
“Fox had righted the franchise, so let’s hope this crummy mutation doesn’t affect the series again.”
Captain America: Civil War
“The franchise seems to be in capable hands with the Russo brothers.”
Everybody Wants Some!!
“[Director] Linklater makes no apologies for wanting to hang out with these characters.”
