    The movie is predictable and formulaic and all of those things, but it's great in spite of itself.

    The action scenes here are just lame, and given the choice between good action and lame story (as we had in You Only Live Twice) and good story and lame action, I'll take the action every time.

    The story itself is timeless and almost always funny. Of the many road trip comedies out there, Planes, Trains and Automobiles ranks among the very best.

    Two Evil Eyes is a flawed project. Romero's segment doesn't pull its own weight. While it is creepy in spots, the majority of the story is overlong and ho-hum in the execution. On the other hand, Argento's entry is strong work that clearly demonstrates a love for Poe's writing. It's not your typical Argento, but many of the standard elements that make the director's work so beautiful and compelling are present here.

    And on this particular trek, the 70's duo find themselves in comedic situations which hit and miss in relatively equal measure.

    There's something kitschy about Howard the Duck that makes it fun to watch. It tried hard and provided you're not a huge stick in the mud, there's something in this movie for everyone.

    When it works, it's engaging and there’s just enough to keep you entertained but you can’t help feel the heroes deserve something meatier.

    The limitations of the animation keep the characters from ever fully emoting, but it’s the script that lets down the rest of the film. In live-action, with a tighter script, this could have been something special. Instead, it’s largely forgettable.
  1. Jungle eventually leads to an exciting survival story with an intense performance by Daniel Radcliffe and suspenseful scenes that might make you squirm. But it might not be worth the journey it takes to get there.

    An entertaining, if a bit predictable, romantic comedy with a good cast. Expect anything more from it and you'll come away disappointed.

    It does a great job of chronicling the amazing accomplishments of one of the best fighters in the world, but beyond that, it’s a lukewarm documentary that stays close to the surface.

    Not exactly Errol Flynn, but not the embarrassment that was Disney's Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves is a fun popcorn flick take on the centuries-old legend. And hey, it does have a great cameo by a former Robin Hood as the best King Richard ever.
  2. Creed II, however, can’t seem to let the past go, abandoning the exciting new path blazed by Coogler in favor of evoking what’s come before, with undeniably diminished results.

    Two years after triumphing with the Audrey Hepburn masterpiece Breakfast at Tiffany's, Blake Edwards directs this crossed-wires ensemble caper, which stars David Niven as Sir Charles Lytton, a lothario and master criminal pursued by the bumbling Inspector Clouseau (played by Sellers).
  3. Although featuring some good acting, and certainly ambitious in its critique of the characters, American Animals is too sleepy to strike a chord.

    Unlike The Fly, You probably won't remember much of this after seeing it, and when a movie boasts as being no better but equal to the original, you can be pretty sure it isn't.
  4. No one will mistake this for Quality Cinema, and it's marred by a confusing, murky ending. But there are some good thrills along the way.

    Conan the Destroyer is not an awful follow-up, just a mostly unnecessary one.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hearts are ripped out, heads are smashed, and there's plenty of flesh to be seen. If that's what you crave for a night of retro viewing, this is your flick.
  5. The main trio within Sierra Burgess Is a Loser - Shannon Purser, Kristine Froseth, and Noah Centineo - are great, but the movie loses itself when it turns away from its more unconventional and grounded elements and leans into the unnecessary '80s dry rub.
  6. Curse of Chucky sees the return of the Good Guys doll you love to hate, but sadly he's back with a whimper, not a bang.
  7. The King’s Man’s triumphant action and epic performances are dragged down by a confused story and overlong runtime.

    Despite this flaw, fans of the first film will still find things to like in the sequel.

    Whether Piranha was made as an intentionally cheesy spoof of Jaws or a cynical bargain-basement imitation, the fact remains that it's just bad enough to qualify as good. As long as you don't take it too seriously (after all, the filmmakers clearly didn't).

    It's not original in the slightest, it doesn't really connect well with the first film, and it's seasoned with the thinnest characters imaginable. But the film is scary in the right places, delivering pulse-pounding jolts and a freaky narrative. If you like the first two [REC] films or this picture's big brother, check this one out.

    Angel Has Fallen never quite digs deep enough into its themes and is inconsistent in its execution of action sequences.
  8. IO
    IO provides a different take on a familiar premise. The story is intimate in nature, with a plot that highlights the importance of relationships – not just between partners or family members, but relationships in general. Its pacing and lack of urgency betrays the drama though.

    The film does manage to provide some fresh thematic punches (and gobs of female nudity for the teen male demographic), and it's clear why Seagal was a popular action star. If only the film was a little flashier, a little edgier and a little more original. Still, it's one of Steven Seagal's finest, if that's saying anything.
  9. If The Lodge had focused as much on its three leads as it did on building a creepy atmosphere to put them in, it may have been as terrorizing an experience as it aspired to be.
  10. The King of Staten Island lumbers from one thread to another, seemingly uncertain over what it's about.
