The ham-fisted attempts to push buttons and manipulate viewers into thinking they are watching something incisive interfere with the shaky narrative.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Horror
Director: Jennifer Kaytin Robinson

Seemingly every choice made during the final quarter-hour is precisely the wrong one.

The 2025 "Superman" feels a lot like many of the other superhero movies out there - fun, frisky, and forgettable.

“Excitement” is not something this installment delivers with relish or consistency.

I have a low tolerance for useless, pointless sequels and an even lower one for those that pad out their running length in the mistaken belief that longer somehow coveys legitimacy.

Run Time: 2:36
U.S. Release Date: 2025-06-27
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Car Crashes)
Genre: Drama
Director: Joseph Kosinski
Cast: Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, Javier Bardem

Watching the film, you may not believe you are in a racing car but you will feel like you are doing more than passively sitting in a theater seat.

Long story short: this is a good film for kids, but maybe not so great for adults, and feels less like Pixar than the generic films being churned out by rival animation companies.

Only the unevenness of the proceedings and the lack of a clean ending keep this from greatness.

U.S. Release Date: 2025-06-13
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Profanity)
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Cast: Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, Zoe Winters

Weighed down by a flat performance from Dakota Johnson, the movie shifts into low-gear after an upbeat, promising first act.

Run Time: 1:51

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Mike Flanagan
Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill, Mia Sara, Annalise Basso, Taylor Gordon

There is something deeply human about this movie and what it says about how we approach life from its giddy, optimistic early days to its eventual decline.
