90%
B+
“Furiosa has car chases and biker hordes and flaming death, but almost more impressive are the small moments of beauty that you won’t find anywhere else.” –

The Marvels (2023)
62%
B-
“Kamala comes into her own here and works really well at meeting her heroes. Both the actress and the character are clearly so excited to be in a big Marvel movie that you can't help but get a little swept up in it yourself. ” –

Maestro (2023)
78%
B+
“Though it tells the story of iconic American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, Maestro's impressionistic style goes a long way to distinguish it from bog-standard biopics. ” –

Oppenheimer (2023)
93%
A
“Though they may seem disparate, the many elements of Oppenheimer refract and reflect each other, like a bunch of atoms creating a chain reaction or a group of scientists building off each other's ideas to forge something new.” –

Fast X (2023)
56%
C
“No question this franchise is silly...but having one character constantly ridiculing the others and making mockery of everything feels maybe a little too on-the-nose. ” –

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
82%
B+
“It's always nice when superhero movies remember that they're supposed to be about saving lives rather than taking them, and GotG 3 often plays like a celebration of life — even for animals that can't talk or fly spaceships. ” –

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
59%
B-
“It's all quite fun, with a good sense of humor and a consistent computer-animated aesthetic -- plus, at 90 minutes including credits, it's short, sweet, and over before anything can get annoying.” –

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023)
91%
B+
“The fantasy elements are played straight, and the central story is a relatable romp about how people who fail as individuals can still succeed together. ” –

The King's Man (2021)
41%
D+
“For all its faults, The King's Man is at least hilariously bad in the way that emotionless, made-by-committee blockbusters like Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker are not.” –

B
“A smiling tale about familial reconciliation and learning to see your relatives for who they are rather than who you wish they were is never unwelcome.” –

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
63%
C+
“Intentional or not, Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a stark reminder of how much of modern American culture consists of excavating the ruins of past glories.” –

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)
35%
C
“Unfortunately, director Robert Schwentke (RED, R.I.P.D.) uses a lot of razzle-dazzle, and too often the quick cuts and close-ups obscure the action rather than highlight it.” –

“Why so much screen time was wasted talking about a tournament at all is left unclear.” –

Chaos Walking (2021)
21%
B-
“As far as pandemic releases from director Doug Liman go, Chaos Walking definitely has a more interesting premise than Locked Down. But that doesn't mean you should be rushing back to theaters to see it.” –

Monster Hunter (2020)
44%
C
“A film that doesn't even bother to wrap up its own story, instead gesturing vaguely at a hypothetical sequel, is telling you exactly how much you should care about it.” –

“Wolfwalkers deserves a new level of praise for the way it takes previous Cartoon Saloon themes (such as the porous relationship between man and nature) to new heights of artistry.” –

Lucy in the Sky (2019)
21%
C+
“Lucy in the Sky has plenty of arresting cosmic visuals, and on the other hand tries to portray a human drama about an overachiever pushed to her breaking point. But those two halves never cohere into a whole.” –

Abominable (2019)
83%
B
“Abominable's themes and arc are familiar kids' movie fare, with only one real plot twist. But its reverent attitude toward nature and wonder is a welcome addition to the cartoon canon.” –
