Halloween Ends (2022) 40% 2.5/5 EDIT “Halloween Ends is a decent (but inconsistent) final entry in David Gordon Green's H40 trilogy - inferior to Halloween but better than Halloween Kills. ” – Screen Rant Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Bros (2022) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Bros isn't just a gay romantic comedy, it's a laugh-out-loud, heartfelt, and moving exploration of LGBTQ+ influence and universal truth: love is love. ” – Screen Rant Sep 29, 2022 Full Review Bullet Train (2022) 52% 3.5/5 EDIT “Bullet Train is a laugh-a-minute action romp, packed with fun characters, electric fight choreography, and (on occasion) surprisingly earnest emotion. ” – Screen Rant Aug 2, 2022 Full Review Vengeance (2022) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Vengeance is thoughtful and humorous - packed with B.J. Novak's caustic social commentary - but still struggles to say something truly memorable. ” – Screen Rant Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Nope (2022) 83% 4/5 EDIT “Nope, Jordan Peele's movie about a bad miracle, offers a thrilling and humorous twist on Hollywood sci-fi - and serves as a love letter to filmmaking. ” – Screen Rant Jul 20, 2022 Full Review Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) 63% 4/5 EDIT “Thor: Love and Thunder is a return to form for the MCU: delivering a great solo story that is emotional, exciting, and downright funny as hell. ” – Screen Rant Jul 5, 2022 Full Review The Black Phone (2021) 81% 3/5 EDIT “The Black Phone is a chilling horror-thriller with a creepy performance from Ethan Hawke - packaged in a convoluted supernatural serial killer story. ” – Screen Rant Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Lightyear (2022) 74% 4/5 EDIT “Lightyear is a clever expansion of Pixar's beloved Toy Story franchise - packed with fun moments, warm sentiment, and downright gorgeous animation. ” – Screen Rant Jun 13, 2022 Full Review Jurassic World Dominion (2022) 29% 3.5/5 EDIT “Jurassic World Dominion is a messy but fun end to the Jurassic Park sequel trilogy, bringing franchise themes, characters, and nostalgia full circle. ” – Screen Rant Jun 8, 2022 Full Review Top Gun: Maverick (2022) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Top Gun: Maverick is a rare sequel that is not only better than the original but retroactively makes Top Gun's story altogether deeper. ” – Screen Rant May 12, 2022 Full Review Live by Night (2016) 35% 2/5 EDIT “Live by Night is a dense and disorganized movie adaptation in which Ben Affleck covers too much ground for any one story or character to succeed.” – Screen Rant Jan 14, 2017 Full Review A Monster Calls (2016) 86% 4/5 EDIT “A Monster Calls is a beautiful and inspirational depiction of a young person's battle with grief - but that doesn't mean it's for every young person.” – Screen Rant Jan 6, 2017 Full Review Assassin's Creed (2016) 18% 2.5/5 EDIT “Assassin's Creed is a step in the right direction for video game movies but slick action and beautiful visuals are undercut by a hollow hero story.” – Screen Rant Dec 21, 2016 Full Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) 84% 4/5 EDIT “A well-crafted and thoughtful story drives Rogue One - in a sandbox that provides a perfect blend of modern action and classic Star Wars style.” – Screen Rant Dec 17, 2016 Full Review Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a solid Harry Potter series movie but often prioritizes setup over memorable drama or spellbinding action.” – Screen Rant Nov 18, 2016 Full Review Doctor Strange (2016) 89% 4/5 EDIT “Doctor Strange manages to expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe while also telling a satisfying story in its own isolated corner.” – Screen Rant Nov 4, 2016 Full Review Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016) 37% 2/5 EDIT “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back does not offer enough high-octane action or clever mystery to stand out from the glut of so-so crime movies.” – Screen Rant Oct 21, 2016 Full Review Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) 65% 3.5/5 EDIT “Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children should provide moviegoers with an entertaining and emotional ride as well as nightmarish visuals to savor.” – Screen Rant Sep 30, 2016 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (2016) 64% 4/5 EDIT “The Magnificent Seven (2016) isn't going to eclipse its predecessors but it is, nonetheless, an immensely entertaining and heartfelt action-western experience.” – Screen Rant Sep 23, 2016 Full Review Blair Witch (2016) 38% 3/5 EDIT “Blair Witch (2016) is what The Blair Witch Project would be if the original had been made today - which is both a compliment and a concession.” – Screen Rant Sep 16, 2016 Full Review Don't Breathe (2016) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “Don't Breathe cuts a fresh path, providing thrill-seeking moviegoers and horror die-hards with an inventive as well as terrifying movie experience.” – Screen Rant Aug 26, 2016 Full Review Kubo and the Two Strings (2016) 97% 4.5/5 EDIT “Kubo and the Two Strings is Laika's most poignant, entertaining, and beautiful film yet - and one of the best movies, animated or not, of 2016” – Screen Rant Aug 19, 2016 Full Review Suicide Squad (2016) 26% 3/5 EDIT “Suicide Squad is a lively comic book movie - albeit one that is undermined by plot holes and uneven execution of action, character, and comedy.” – Screen Rant Aug 5, 2016 Full Review Ghostbusters (2016) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ghostbusters won't win-over pre-release haters but offers enough laughs and slick special effects to satisfy series fans and casual filmgoers alike.” – Screen Rant Jul 15, 2016 Full Review Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates (2016) 38% 2/5 EDIT “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates hits the basic mandates of R-rated comedy but falls flat in its effort to be as insightful as it is funny.” – Screen Rant Jul 8, 2016 Full Review
