"Janet Planet" is emotionally inert, with the straightforward style keeping viewers at arms-length from the characters.

Feels like it was mostly constructed in post-production, with CGI working hand-in-hand with editing to fashion something borderline-coherent.

"Silent Night" is the antithesis of fun. Whatever the director is trying to do with the movie, it makes it for one big lump of coal in the 2023 cinematic stocking.

This may be the worst major animated film Disney has released in the past 40 years and its lack of creative energy doesn’t augur well for the immediate future.

This mean-spirited and unpleasant production is unlikely to find favor with many either inside or outside of the Elvis fan base.

As a motion picture, it is disjointed and ultimately unsatisfying but as part of a larger cog in a cross-platform franchise, it does everything expected from it.

It might have helped if Green understood "The Exorcist" a little better rather than just copying from it.

The primary sin is not that "Blue Beetle" stinks the way really bad movies do but that it is deeply mired in mediocrity.

Not a bad movie but too long and lifeless for what amounts to a two-hour commercial for a three-minute ride.

A bunch of amusingly raunchy jokes interspersed with a treacly soap opera-level storyline about family and friendship.
