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.

I could learn a lot more about Winehouse by listening to her music than by watching this by-the-numbers sketch of her adult life.

Although there are stretches when the movie generates tension, the seeming inevitability of the endgame limits its power.

"Staying Alive" is only about trying to breathe life into the then-fading career of John Travolta and making money off a recognizable title.

As we travel with the apes through this wreckage of a human-designed world that is being reclaimed by nature, there is a sense of awe at how real everything seems.

This was a bad movie when it was released. It is a bad movie today. And it will continue to be a bad movie long after this planet ceases to exist.
