Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 69% 6.5/10 EDIT “Avatar: Fire and Ash might be visually beautiful, but the story repeats the same beats we've seen before with very little deviation through its criminally long runtime.” – Bleeding Cool Dec 16, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 5/10 EDIT “TRON: Ares might have visual and audio spectacle, but everything else is so dull and boring that you'd be better off watching a visualizer of the OST. ” – Bleeding Cool Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 84% 7/10 EDIT “Caught Stealing and its mediocrity would be better received by other directors, but Darren Aronofsky has always been shooting so far beyond the stars compared to his peers that "it's fine" is somehow worse than the film being horrible or outstanding.” – Bleeding Cool Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 61% 7/10 EDIT “Now You See Me: Now You Don't is just as breathlessly stupid, empty, yet somehow so entertaining and watchable as the first two as this series continues to embrace spectacle over substance.” – Bleeding Cool Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 67% 5.5/10 EDIT “Wicked: For Good already had a difficult task of adapting the weaker second act of the musical, but despite an over two-hour running time, everything is somehow both rushed and also drags the pacing to a slog.” – Bleeding Cool Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% 8.5/10 EDIT “Zootopia 2 doesn't quite hit as hard as the first one and meanders a bit with its story, but it's a solid entry from Disney Animation that doesn't treat the youngest in the audience like they're stupid.” – Bleeding Cool Nov 25, 2025 Full Review Eenie Meanie (2025) 42% 7.5/10 EDIT “Eenie Meanie isn't going to remake the wheel in terms of heist movies, but the excellent driving scene and Samara Weaving's continued efforts to prove what a badass she is elevate a good film into a pretty damn good movie.” – Bleeding Cool Aug 22, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 8/10 EDIT “The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a decent first step for Marvel's First Family, but the good and bad that come from skipping the origin story hurt the film where it really counts in the end: the dynamic and relationship this family has with each other.” – Bleeding Cool Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 6/10 EDIT “The Naked Gun is held up by its cast, whose delivery is spot on, but this type of comedy is either your thing or it isn't, and if it isn't, this likely won't change your mind. ” – Bleeding Cool Aug 13, 2025 Full Review The Bad Guys 2 (2025) 87% 7.50/10 EDIT “The Bad Guys 2 isn't as good as the first film, but it's still a pretty good time at the movies. It's an animated family film that makes an effort to truly appeal to multiple demographics. ” – Bleeding Cool Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Freakier Friday (2025) 74% 5/10 EDIT “Freakier Friday fundamentally doesn't work because the film desperately tries to convince the audience that Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsey Lohan are aging badly, and the only jokes they come up with are cheap shots at aging. ” – Bleeding Cool Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Nobody 2 (2025) 76% 8.5-10 EDIT “Nobody 2 is just as good as the first one, with top-tier stuntwork, editing, and directing that lead to a bloody, surprising, funny good time at the movies. ” – Bleeding Cool Aug 13, 2025 Full Review Smurfs (2025) 20% 2.5/10 EDIT “Smurfs is exactly what happens when everyone involved in a project thinks kids are just tiny, dumb adults who couldn't possibly understand anything with depth or meaning.” – Bleeding Cool Jul 16, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 89% 8.5/10 EDIT “28 Years Later is an uncompromising look at how humanity would evolve in a world where some are left behind while everyone else in the world moves on.” – Bleeding Cool Jun 18, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 7/10 EDIT “F1: The Movie is visually stunning and a technical achievement unlike anything we've seen in a long time, but the mileage you'll get from the story will vary depending on whether you think the usual tropes for a sports movie are a feature or a bug.” – Bleeding Cool Jun 17, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% 9/10 EDIT “How to Train Your Dragon does all of the right things that a live-action remake of a beloved classic should do, walking the line of adding more while remembering that these movies are beloved for a reason.” – Bleeding Cool Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 8/10 EDIT “Ballerina can't elevate itself from "pretty good" to "great" the same way previous entries in the John Wick franchise have, but it's an enjoyable time at the movies with some fantastic action scenes and one badass leading lady. ” – Bleeding Cool Jun 4, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% 6/10 EDIT “Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning features a mission that feels impossible only in the sense that the story makes almost no sense and lacks any sense of finality that isn't surface-level.” – Bleeding Cool May 14, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 83% EDIT “Drop seems like it doesn't have quite enough gas in the tank for a feature presentation, but all of the pieces don't quite come together. It's anchored by an overall theme that helps hold together both the parts that fit and the parts that don't.” – Bleeding Cool Apr 29, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 62% 4.5/10 EDIT “The Amateur is trying to do something different with its title character, but thanks to clumsy writing, mediocre performances, and lackluster pacing, the film never elevates beyond being serviceable at best.” – Bleeding Cool Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 8/10 EDIT “Thunderbolts* is a bit messy initially, but thanks to the cast's natural chemistry and stellar third act, it ends up being one of the most emotionally impactful Marvel movies in a long time.” – Bleeding Cool Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 9/10 EDIT “Black Bag is another example of director Steven Soderbergh reminding everyone how to make a fun, twisty little spy thriller elevated by an excellent cast and tight script.” – Bleeding Cool Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Novocaine (2025) 81% 7.5/10 EDIT “Novocaine is a film that's honest about what it is. It's a "cringe comedy" where you wince every time another Wile E. Coyote-style violent act happens. It doesn't quite run out of steam but is a film that would be better with a tight 90-minute edit. ” – Bleeding Cool Mar 19, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% 6/10 EDIT “Snow White justifies its existence more than other Disney remakes, but no matter how charming Rachel Zegler is, it still can't capture the magic of the original.” – Bleeding Cool Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 62% 7/10 EDIT “The Gorge works better as a strange romance than an action film. The actual monsters are far less interesting than the concept of two people forming a friendship through signs and binoculars.” – Bleeding Cool Feb 15, 2025 Full Review
