Del Toro builds a gorgeous monster, but while this meandering retelling finds some new avenues, it still feels overly familiar.

Removing the shackles of canon and continuity allow "First Steps" to breathe.

Does not break any molds but expertly crafts familiar material into an end product that will likely appeal to a wide audience.

Cliched dramatic stories aside, the movie has a gritty charm and overall likeability that makes it worth revisiting

While all the "Mad Max" movies have relied more on stunts and action than narrative cohesiveness, "Furiosa" takes this to a new level.

Represents what a true “summer movie” should be: a light, fast-paced spectacle with likeable characters and a balance between action/eye candy and narrative elements.

As a well-acted standard-order bio-pic, "Ferrari" delivers but as something more, it falls short.

Although it does not qualify as a white-knuckle sort of movie, it exerts a magnetism that is difficult to turn away from.

It probably will not go down as “Great Spielberg” or even “Very Good Spielberg” but represents a warm, enjoyable plunge into the 1950s and 1960s.
