Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% “Somewhere, buried beneath all this plot, is an interesting movie struggling to breathe.” – Forbes Feb 14, 2025 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “Ultimately, while The Substance got off to an intriguing start, the majority of the film and especially its goofy ending was mostly cheap shock value and amateurish satire built on the flimsiest premise imaginable.” – Forbes Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% “Nosferatu is an elegantly macabre masterpiece that pulls all the right levers of horror and period drama, a throwback to an older era of cinema with just enough modern sensibilities, body horror and sex to make it as provocative as it is unsettling.” – Forbes Dec 29, 2024 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% “Wicked is a stunning success in just about every way, from its stellar performances to its sound design and special effects, to its inventive sets and costumes and ability to capture what made the Broadway musical so special in the first place.” – Forbes Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Hit Man (2023) 95% “Richard Linklater's 'Hit Man' is one of most generic and unsatisfying movies I've seen in a very long time.” – Forbes Jun 8, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver (2024) 16% “Tedious, derivative and implausible beyond belief, Rebel Moon Part 2 makes Zack Snyder's first film in this preposterous space opera franchise look great by comparison. If nothing else, that’s a remarkable feat.” – Forbes Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Blood for Dust (2023) 79% “It’s refreshing to watch a movie that isn’t trying to impress us with its own cleverness. It feels almost old-fashioned. There’s a haunting sparseness to the film that’s right at home in the cold Montana setting.” – Forbes Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% “Civil War is a powerful, thought-provoking movie punctuated by intense moments of violence and dread, and one you should go see on the biggest screen possible.” – Forbes Apr 14, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire (2023) 22% 2/5 “Rebel Moon is an entertaining but flawed space opera with some great action and cinematography that would have been better as the first part of an R-rated trilogy. Hopefully Part 2 builds on the opening film’s strengths.” – Forbes Dec 25, 2023 Full Review The Boy and the Heron (2023) 96% “Hayao Miyazaki’s emotionally moving, deeply strange film is both an instant classic that will stick with me long after the credits rolled, and it’s completely ruined parakeets for me. ” – Forbes Dec 13, 2023 Full Review Godzilla Minus One (2023) 99% “I’m still not sure how they pulled it off. The CGI is terrific, and the titular monster is terrifying and monstrous. Nothing about this film feels low-budget.” – Forbes Dec 6, 2023 Full Review South Park: Joining the Panderverse (2023) “This is what makes South Park effective. They get the jokes in, they do the satire, but they show how it’s also pretty complicated and there are people complicit on both sides. ” – Forbes Oct 30, 2023 Full Review Barbie (2023) 88% “The ribald humor is just clever enough to please older viewers while flying over younger viewers’ heads. ” – Forbes Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% “A capable, at times awe-inspiring historical epic with standout performances from a strong cast and some excellent writing and cinematography. Unfortunately, the film gets bogged down in unnecessarily confusing and complicated narrative gimmicks. ” – Forbes Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) 96% “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One is a gripping, exciting, often quite funny, occasionally quite sad tour de force that unleashes the rambunctious action this franchise is known for in bigger, more audacious ways than ever before.” – Forbes Jul 13, 2023 Full Review Asteroid City (2023) 76% 6/7 “At once delightfully quirky, genuinely hilarious and profoundly sad.” – Forbes Jul 7, 2023 Full Review The Flash (2023) 63% “A dull, overly-saturated CGI action movie mess, that’s both half an hour too long (as per usual!) and rushed. ” – Forbes Jun 20, 2023 Full Review Seven Kings Must Die (2023) 82% “The movie is a rushed mess, trampling over characters from the show, throwing together a conflict that is both jarring and unnecessary, and creating stakes that feel forced at best. It’s hard to care about any of it.” – Forbes Jun 13, 2023 Full Review Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) 95% 6/6 “Across The Spider-Verse is a beautifully animated film that’s bursting with wild color and inventive artwork. It takes everything from the first movie and does it bigger.” – Forbes Jun 2, 2023 Full Review The Little Mermaid (2023) 67% “This is an absolutely delightful picture and is quite possibly my favorite of all the princess live-action remakes. Much of that is due to the powerful performance -- and singing chops -- of lead Halle Bailey as Ariel.” – Forbes May 31, 2023 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) 82% “James Gunn sticks the landing with the third and final Guardians movie. It’s an emotionally powerful, wildly inventive, often hilarious tour de force farewell for our ragtag band of intergalactic space heroes.” – Forbes May 6, 2023 Full Review The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) 59% “It’s a great, fun, beautifully animated story of Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach, Donkey Kong and a colorful, zany cast of Nintendo characters.” – Forbes Apr 7, 2023 Full Review Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) 91% “It’s written by people who clearly love D&D. The spirit and humor and silliness and adventure that a good session of tabletop gaming consist of all carry over into this film in the best possible way.” – Forbes Mar 20, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% 6.5/10 “nt-Man 3 is a fun if predictable superhero movie that gets a few big things wrong, but bounces back on the strength of its leads, with both Paul Rudd and Jonathan Majors knocking it out of the park.” – Forbes Feb 23, 2023 Full Review M3GAN (2022) 93% 4/6 “M3GAN leans hard into the genre tropes, often to great success. It’s a movie where half its gags are the titular doll’s facial expressions... No wonder, then, that this is a movie that’s constantly winking at us.” – Forbes Jan 10, 2023 Full Review
