Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
69%
“The movie's real hero...is Howard. He managed to bring a fun, if slightly scuffed up, joyride into theaters - against the odds.” –

3/5
“DeKnight shows he can pilot a CGI fight sequence as well as his predecessor, Guillermo Del Toro ("The Shape of Water"). These movies can be fun once the colossal foes start grappling.” –

2.5/5
“Eastwood faced similar issues with his last film, "Sully," and he still hasn't figured out how to take a relatively short dramatic event and build a movie around it.” –

The Post (2017)
88%
“Unfortunately, The Post feels very much like the period drama it is - a throwback to the days of sideburns and lead type slugs - and not the exclamation point director Steven Spielberg intended.” –

Downsizing (2017)
47%
3/5
“In a multiplex full of sequels and retreads "Downsizing" does stand out. Much of Payne's political satire does hit the mark and hit it well.” –

3.5/5
“Plummer's scenes with co-star Michelle Williams -- delivering another strong, understated performance -- are worth the price of admission. But the rest of the film is not as worthy.” –

Professor Marston & the Wonder Women (2017)
87%
“The drama also shows that Wonder Woman has come a long way, baby. Gone is her whole weakness to submission, being rendered harmless every time a man tied her up.” –

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

2.5/5
“With its video game upgrade, "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" manages to match the silly fun of its predecessor - even without Williams - and that's no small achievement unlocked.” –

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)
91%
4.5/5
“That's not to say Star Wars: The Last Jedi will go down in history as a better movie than the franchise's gold standard, The Empire Strikes Back, but director Rian Johnson has pulled off a complete rejuvenation of the saga.” –

The Shape of Water (2017)
92%
4/5
“Under all that rubber and slime, 6-foot-4 actor Jones continues to impress as the go-to monster for Del Toro and the rest of Hollywood. He's as synonymous with practical effects as Andy Serkis is with performance capture.” –

3/5
“It's up to Wonder Woman again to save the day. And Gadot's Amazon warrior does just that in every scene she steals as the conscience and muscle of the group.” –

“Campbell has never had as physically talented a lead as he has with Chan, who's peerless at performing choreographed fight sequences.” –

“It stands alone as the best Star Wars entry since 1980's The Empire Strikes Back. Yes, it's that good.” –

The Monster (2016)

“There's little originality scared up by "The Monster," but that doesn't make director Bryan Bertino's horror flick easier to watch through the gaps in your fingers.” –

3.5/5
“Phillips leans heavily into the absurdist humor of how the Pentagon could have been conned - especially by a pair of bros whose previous claim to fame was getting busted buying pot as Yeshiva middle schoolers.” –

4/5
“"Breaking a Monster" is as much about adolescents having to leave behind childhood friendships to embrace life on the road as it is footage of performances at Coachella and South by Southwest.” –

“If there's an MVP, it's Simmons. The Perks of Being a Wallflower alum tosses off another subdued performance, a good counterpart to Hawke's more over-the-top coiled rage.” –
