Movie reviews of Molly Freeman

The King's Man is a joyless prequel to Kingsman, devoid of the charming offbeat comedy and pulse-pounding action scenes that made this franchise fun. Review

While Eternals has most of the benchmarks of a Marvel movie, Zhao's sprawling superhero epic is unlike anything the MCU has produced before. Review

After We Fell is the pulpy, melodramatic and messy continuation of Tessa and Hardin's story that may appeal to diehard fans, but no one else. Review

Venom: Let There Be Carnage delivers some more of what works - Eddie and Venom's dynamic - though everything around them remains quite messy. Review

The Addams Family 2 is a shallow continuation that spends too much time on unconnected hijinks resulting in an uneven sequel with much less heart. Review

Kate has some decently fun action, despite certain trite directorial choices, with Mary Elizabeth Winstead serving as the movie's main bright spot. Review

He's All That is a hollow Gen Z recreation of She's All That, lacking in charm and seemingly engineered as a vehicle to promote its stars' other work. Review

The Kissing Booth 3 is overstuffed and overcomplicated, but provides some shallow summer fun as the final chapter to Netflix's teen rom-com trilogy. Review

Free Guy is uproariously fun, delightfully charming and unexpectedly sweet, with Ryan Reynolds perfectly in his element balancing action and comedy. Review

The Suicide Squad, from the mind of writer-director James Gunn, is both wickedly entertaining and shamelessly depraved fun set in the DC movie world. Review

With energetic and thrilling action, Snake Eyes is a fun summer blockbuster, even if the movie's haphazard franchise setup leaves much to be desired. Review

Fear Street Part 3: 1666 wraps up the horror trilogy's story in a satisfying conclusion that's finally less homage and more its own original slasher. Review

Fear Street Part 1: 1994 is a perfectly fine throwback slasher horror movie, but is weighed down by setting up the rest of Netflix's trilogy. Review

Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is another fine action-comedy, made more fun by Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson and Salma Hayek's performances. Review

F9 returns to the heights of Lin's best Fast & Furious franchise films, combining big heart and bigger action while deepening its themes of family. Review

Snyder's Army of the Dead delivers some compelling action and shocking visuals, but isn't clever or fun enough to be more than a shallow zombie flick. Review

The Mitchells vs. the Machines is a charming blend of heartfelt family connection with a wildly fun action comedy twist in its robot apocalypse. Review

Moxie has some heart and teeth as its Riot Grrrl-inspired teens smash the patriarchy, but it's more love letter to Gen X than call to arms for Gen Z. Review

Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon stumbles a bit to get going, but manages to stick the landing of a heartfelt and hope-filled animated movie. Review

To All the Boys: Always and Forever tells a beautiful story of love, relationships and growing up - and gives Lara Jean and Peter a satisfying ending. Review

Wonder Woman 1984 is filled with hope, love and optimism, offering impressively cinematic superhero action with beautifully sentimental heart. Review

Promising Young Woman is a wildly thrilling revenge story, taking an unflinching look at rape culture, but errs more pessimistic than triumphant. Review

Godmothered is a campy and heartfelt family-friendly Christmas flick, but ends up feeling like an adult rom-com shoehorned into a kids movie. Review

Soul isn't Pixar's finest or most resonant film, but its beautiful animation and soundtrack, paired with fun characters make for an enjoyable watch. Review
