Arctic
Great 17 Points 2018

A survival story up there with the likes of ‘Cast Away’ or ‘All is Lost’. Arctic starts with a failed rescue attempt — alk about despair from the get go! It was truly painful to watch setback after setback and the amazing strength of will to keep going. Fantastic minimal-dialog dramatic acti…

Assassin's Creed
Good 17 Points 2016

Nice sci-fi enhanced action, and an entertaining attempt to infuse mysticism. Entertaining despite the fact that I never really understood the premise of the movie (or the game).

Very Good 119 Points 2009

Transcendentally beautiful yet cravenly appalling, brilliant yet formulaic, James Cameron’s latest magnum opus induces awe and disgust in equal measure. The former comes from its stunningly realized vision of an Edenic world, the latter from the seditious anti-Americanism that animates the sto…

Really Great 83 Points 2015

Avengers: Age of Ultron is Avengers-worthy, as proven by its $200 million opening weekend and its Marvel-ous mix of human-scale comedy-drama amidst earthshaking fantasy. It’s also studded with LOLs, and not all them from Downey. He gets plenty, but the comic relief is more broadly spread around…

Avengers: Endgame
Really Great 66 Points 2019

Endgame doesn’t disappoint, surmounting both high expectations and a lengthy runtime. Marvelous!

Avengers assemble, with each of a dozen getting ten minutes on average to reintroduce themselves. After those two hours they spread out over time – literally over time – taking the movie to its t…

Great 83 Points 2018

Nearly two dozen major characters populate Avengers: Infinity War, a massive cast if not an infinite one. Many are major moviestars — Downey, Hemsworth, Hiddleston, Cumberbatch, Pratt, Boseman, Brolin. They can be very proud of Infinity War. It’s formulaic, but so were the great symphonies. T…

Really Great 9 Points 1989

While it doesn’t live up to the greatness of the first film(which was a tough act to follow), Back to the Future Part II is still remains one of the most beloved sequels ever and while it isn’t my favorite of the trilogy, it still makes an enjoyable fun adventurous thrillride. Filled with much of…

Perfect 9 Points 1990

Of both the sequels to the 1985 classic Back to the Future, this is my favorite of the two. For me, it has more of a “I can watch this again and again value.” Like part 2, it picks up where the predecessor left off. Marty heads to the wild wild west to find Doc and get back to 1985, whilst keepin…

Batman
Perfect 11 Points 1989

One of the greatest comic book films of all time(its at least in the top 5). Told through a dark story and complex character development, visionary director Tim Burton excellently tells the story of the caped crusader. The film to me comes off as a character study of a man who is psychologically …

Good 83 Points 2016

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is as heavy as its pretentious title suggests, with nary a great performance to elevate it. Yet this DC Comics blockbuster ably fulfills its duty of teasing nine sequels.

It opens with a replay of Batman’s boyhood origin, Superman’s having been told by DC &…
