The Call of the Wild (2020)
63%
“The problem is that in the gritty context of "Call of the Wild," Buck needs to look unmistakably real, and the character's failure is a persistent distraction.” –

“Essentially, "Birds of Prey" wants to be a heroic story. But it fails to embrace - or include - heroic characters.” –

Bad Boys for Life (2020)
76%
2.5/4
“The awkward blend of action, comedy and drama has its moments, enough to be entertaining in a guilty pleasure kind of way, but the back and forth creates a tonal mess, and overall the film feels like a throwback to an era that passed its expiration date.” –

“"Les Miserables" emotes a portrait of conflicted humanity that reserves judgment in a way that few if any similar films have achieved.” –

Just Mercy (2019)

3/4
“"Just Mercy" is just good enough of a legal drama to get you to think about its subject, but it's not a good enough movie to stick with you far beyond the theater doors.” –

Underwater (2020)

2/4
“The straightforward premise has some potential, and there are some nice visuals in a few spots, but overall [William] Eubank's film is one of those movies where the nods to its predecessors just reinforce its own derivative inferiority.” –

3.5/5
“"1917" is grand in its scope and haunting in its visuals, but its simplicity is what makes Sam Mendes' film such a resonant portrait of its subject.” –

51%
3.5/4
“"Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is a lot of fun, a genuine achievement and a great way to spend a couple of hours at the theater... But once the stardust settles, we'll probably still admit that the original trilogy is just never going to be matched.” –

Cats (2019)
19%
1.5/4
“You do get used to the feline antics after a while, and if that were the biggest problem, "Cats" might still work at a certain level. The bigger issue is that the film completely lacks tension or any real semblance of plot or story.” –

“The twists and turns aren't quite as dramatic as they could be, and though the conflict is present, it feels too much like it's lingering in the background against a pretty linear narrative.” –

Frozen II (2019)

“The new story, which tries to build on Elsa's mythos, is convoluted and feels more invented than organic, leaving "Frozen 2" feeling like more of an obligation than an equal to the original film.” –
