U.S. Release Date: 2023-06-30
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Director: James Mangold
Cast: Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, John Rhys-Davies, Thomas Kretschmann, Toby Jones, Antonio Banderas, Boyd Holbrook, Mads Mikkelsen, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Ethann Bergua-Isidore
As an action-adventure film, this one is adequate but there is a sense that the production should be more special than “adequate.”
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-08-15
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Nudity)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Wes Anderson
Cast: Jason Schwartzman, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Jake Ryan, Jeffrey Wright, Maya Hawke, Rupert Friend, Edward Norton, Bryan Cranston
An occasionally enjoyable diversion that offers enough low-key laughs to paper over a few the filmmaker’s annoying tendencies.
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-08-29
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Gene Stupnitsky
Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Andrew Barth Feldman, Matthew Broderick, Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, Scott MacArthur
Lawrence and Feldman play well off one another, but the movie needs more than that chemistry to be an unqualified success.
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-08-29
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Action/Science Fiction
Director: Andy Muschietti
Cast: Ezra Miller, Michael Keaton, Ben Affleck, Sasha Calle, Michael Shannon, Ron Livingston
The best things – or at least the most memorable ones – are rooted in fan service and nostalgia. The movie, although too long by about 45 minutes, is enjoyable on that level.
U.S. Release Date: 2023-05-26
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Laura Terruso
Cast: Sebastian Maniscalco, Robert De Niro, Leslie Bibb, Kim Cattrall, David Rasche, Anders Holm, Brett Dier
This is sit-com level material and, as such, there is not much new or interesting that Robert De Niro can bring to the proceedings.
U.S. Release Date: 2023-05-05
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Science Fiction
Director: James Gunn
Cast: Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Elizabeth Debicki, Sean Gunn, Sylvester Stallone, Vin Diesel, Will Poulter, Chukwudi Iwuji, Maria Bakalova
Suffers from problems that have dogged the latest round of comic book movies: a too-long running time, not enough genuine excitement, a generic villain, and a weak ending.
U.S. Release Date: 2023-04-21
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Lee Cronin
Cast: Lily Sullivan, Alyssa Sutherland, Gabrielle Echols, Morgan Davies, Nell Fisher
Although always gruesome and sometimes darkly humorous, it is never especially scary. This is yet another victory for nostalgia over originality.
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-03-17
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Paul Roland
Cast: Paul Roland, Joseph Griffin, Brittany Lewis, Francis Cronin, Jennifer Massey, Kenan Jerome Floyd, Nelson Ritthaler
Plays like part neo-noir thriller and part morality play, with director Roland making the most of his micro budget to give the movie a distinctive look.
U.S. Release Date: 2023-04-05
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Animated
Director: Aaron Horvath, Michael Jelenic
Cast: Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Fred Armisen, Keegan-Michael Key
Is not about cinematic enjoyment but expanding a brand. Its success relies on name recognition and nostalgia.
U.S. Release Date: 2023-03-24
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence)
Genre: Action/Thriller
Director: Chad Stahelski
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Clancy Brown, Laurence Fishburne, Shamier Anderson, Hiroyuki Sanda, Marko Zaror, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgard, Ian McShane, Lance Reddick
Has its high points but is characterized by an exhaustive repetitiveness that diminishes what was so good and unique about the first two installments of the series.
