Storytelling clearly isn’t the priority here; instead, once the alien attackers are finally shown in full, the picture is all about sci-fi action. Review
Problematically, the main characters are too bland to create much of an impression; heroes are largely defined by their ability to survive, while villains are designated by spouting words of hate and bigotry or wielding blood-soaked munitions. Review
As it shifts away from a take on La Femme Nikita to the dystopian sci-fi routines of Equilibrium, ultimately betraying a distillation as a simple revenge flick, Black Widow proceeds to remind viewers that all of this could have been so much more powerful and riveting without the over-the-top tech or superheroes of any kind. Review
The humorous moments are terribly effective, while the romance and action are thoroughly entertaining. Review
In the end, the entertaining moments of colossal destruction are overshadowed by exhaustingly moronic, fantastically unthinkable undertakings... Review
Sticking primarily to the humor, the elements of adversity pose fleeting severity, which helps keep the mood airy. Review
The pacing is swift and the design of the action engaging (even though the resolution feels as equally hasty as the opening, and therefore largely unconvincing), lending to a simple (perhaps overly so, especially for a Pixar piece) yet pleasant little fable. Review
While the musical numbers are the highlight, always spirited and inspirational, bits of commentary on life in the Heights are also notable. Review
The pacing is likewise impaired, unable to keep things engaging as the dry dialogue, blander character designs, and failed comic relief bog down the plot. Review
Yet the rambunctious relationships heaped with silly cynicism pose a reasonably enjoyable – and likely forgettable – piece of filmmaking. Review
It clearly resembles its stage origins, with limited sets, few characters, and unremitting dialogue, but the leads are absolutely charming enough to carry the picture... Review
Along with Cole’s carefree attitude, a considerable amount of humor weaves its way through the script, punctuating the typical Western conflicts with hilarious moments of deception and flirting. Review
With its greater resources, the film also enjoys more sets, more props (and costumes and Muppet-like animatronics), and more computer animation – none of which increases the quality or the entertainment value. Review
Unexpectedly, much of the ludicrousness works: the misadventures pose a decided cheeriness, the modern soundtrack complements the eccentricity, the leads’ unyielding positivity is inspiring, and the humor musters laughs. Review
Plenty of humor snakes its way into the premise, but its effectiveness rests somewhere in the 50% range. Review
A Quiet Place Part II may not be as solid as its predecessor, but it’s an impressively designed, nicely matched, thoroughly entertaining follow-up that deserves to be seen on the big screen. Review
The movie keeps getting sillier, more careless with its plotting, more pointless with its killing spree, and sloppier in its execution, until it culminates in a staggeringly absurd, drawn-out, unexciting showdown. Review
Despite the familiar themes and acceptable performances, the subplots become tedious, the running time overbearing, and the content increasingly dull... Review
The bloodiness has increased right alongside the sex and nudity, utilizing modest CG but more impressive amounts of practical effects that simply look better and age better. Review
The film is rarely interested in exploring these concepts, instead routinely returning to gore, nakedness, and even action and adventure. Review
The phoniness is pervasive, blunting any chance at genuine excitement. Review
It’s never as hokey as Death Race 2000, but it certainly shares its penchant for mayhem. Review
