The Legend of Ochi (2025) 80% 3.5/5 “The Legend of Ochi is a magical adventure brimming with wonder. The film has a terrific score, and the puppeteering is solid. But it lacks character development or a proper resolution, and the story collapses on itself thanks to its simplistic nature.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 5/5 “Sinners is a scary, hilarious, and gloriously horny bloodbath with one hell of a bluesy score. An instant, masterful, and exceptional horror classic that deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Zero (2024) 50% 1/5 “There’s a decent premise buried in here somewhere, and Willem Dafoe is great in just about anything. But Zero is more like a violent case of explosive diarrhea than a worthwhile and thrilling action film.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 2/5 “Drop overreaches and stretches out an enigmatic game of duck, duck, goose far beyond its limitations. A film driven by distressing text messages and wealthy buffoons acting strangely at a fancy restaurant will only get a film so far.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Wake Up (2023) 71% 2/5 “Wake Up could have been fun if the kills weren’t so dull and if the characters weren’t strictly one-layered a-holes. Everything is halfway developed here; the beginning of something with a middle and end involving no imagination or creativity whatsoever.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 9, 2025 Full Review Locked (2025) 65% 3/5 “Locked isn’t unique if you’ve seen 4×4, but it also goes in unexpected directions. It’s a lot like the Steven Knight-written and directed drama Locke starring Tom Hardy took one of the violently pumping gears out of Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 4, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% 4/5 “Give us a dozen The Monkey sequels with more trippy nightmare sequences, unnerving death stares from the shadows, and unhinged music cues that are so loud they crumble part of your soul. Unpredictable. Crazy gore. Absurd. This is a potential franchise.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Night of the Zoopocalypse (2024) 96% 4.5/5 “Night of the Zoopocalypse is an adorably terrifying and excessively fun horror comedy. A frightfully crowd-pleasing safari full of whimsical buffoonery.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 1.5/5 “The worst part about Captain America: Brave New World is that it merely exists. Apart from its nostalgic roots, this “new” direction is more of the same just with actors and characters that aren’t nearly as interesting as they think they are.” – Bounding Into Comics Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 4/5 “The Paddington films have always embodied an unparalleled sense of wonder and happiness, being content with the smallest things. Paddington in Peru is a heartwarming film about embracing your inner bear and discovering how precious home is.” – Bounding Into Comics Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 19% 1/5 “Love Hurts is watchable because of Ke Huy Quan and the film features some decent action. However, the humor is juvenile and total cringe and the story is absolute butts.” – Bounding Into Comics Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Heart Eyes (2025) 81% 1/5 “Heart Eyes is a clumsy horror film that is so dumb that it stumbles into accidental amusement from time to time. Some inventive kills are nearly ruined by a half-ass plot that points out how convoluted it is every chance it gets.” – Bounding Into Comics Feb 9, 2025 Full Review Presence (2024) 88% 2.5/5 “Presence is a close-but-no-cigar thriller with unusual camera tricks and everyone staring off slightly to the left or right to drive its sense of mystery.” – Bounding Into Comics Feb 2, 2025 Full Review Wolf Man (2025) 50% 2/5 “The performances are incredible in Wolf Man. But even boasting its practical effects, the creature design is underwhelming, and the story runs around aimlessly in the woods because there’s nowhere else for the film to go.” – Bounding Into Comics Jan 19, 2025 Full Review The Prosecutor (2024) 93% 4/5 “My hope with The Prosecutor was that Donnie Yen would shout OVERRULED! regularly before beating up criminals with a flurry of punches, 17 dropkicks, and top it off with an emphatic suplex. It delivers that on top of a gripping story and superb cast.” – Bounding Into Comics Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024) 85% 4/5 “Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the best, most entertaining, crowd-pleasing, and hilarious Sonic film to date. This sequel is a ridiculously fun blue streak of an action comedy. Jim Carrey is having the time of his life as Robotnik. ” – Bounding Into Comics Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% 1/5 “Moana 2 somehow feels like a three-hour film crammed into an hour and 40 minutes. The animation is disappointing, the story is stretched well beyond its means, and the music is pure trash.” – Bounding Into Comics Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% 1/5 “Wicked conjures song after song and drags on and on solely because it’s a bloated musical that wants you to die a rhythmic, and sometimes undecipherable, high-pitched death.” – Bounding Into Comics Nov 22, 2024 Full Review The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2024) 88% 4/5 “The Day the Earth Blew Up is a crazy unique take on alien invasion and zombie films. The eye-popping animation is gorgeous and glorious. It captures the magic of the classics while delivering something entirely fresh and worthwhile.” – Bounding Into Comics Nov 20, 2024 Full Review A Real Pain (2024) 96% 3.5/5 “Jesse Eisenberg has made a film that is emotionally powerful and unbelievably relatable while Kieran Culkin delivers an exhaustingly mesmerizing performance loaded with depth and relentless magnetism. ” – Bounding Into Comics Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 2,5.5 “Denzel Washington’s extravagant performance likewise makes Gladiator II worthwhile. Still, not even its excessively violent action sequences, beautiful cinematography, and masterful set and costume design can save the sequel from how boring it is. ” – Bounding Into Comics Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 2.5/5 “Heretic is beautifully shot with a stellar performance from Hugh Grant, but its intriguing concept is drowned out by the desire to deconvert the audience and have a lukewarm reveal regarding whatever the one-true religion is.” – Bounding Into Comics Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Memoir of a Snail (2024) 95% 4.5/5 “It’s a film that honors weird people no matter how bizarre they may be. Next to its superb writing and ability to make you laugh while ripping your heartstrings to shreds, that is what makes Memoir of a Snail so beautiful and memorable.” – Bounding Into Comics Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% 3/5 “The Last Dance is entertaining because it’s chaotic and this bizarre bromance that is way more impactful than it should be is legitimately just one guy that enjoys making silly movies that barely make sense.” – Bounding Into Comics Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Smile 2 (2024) 86% 4/5 “Parker Finn continues to deliver gushy, gurgly horror with outlandishly terrifying ideas and fiendishly mesmerizing performances. ” – Bounding Into Comics Oct 21, 2024 Full Review
