Movie reviews of Steve Dinneen

Well acted, well paced, well shot.

The most intelligent super hero movie to date, concerned as much with Big Questions as it is with big characters and big muscles.

There are too many distractions from what made the original so good: well-written jokes, told by comedy professionals.

It's the supporting cast, especially the victims, that really makes the drama come alive.

Captures the intoxication of the pre-crisis days and the dread and confusion that followed 2008...

Neither intelligent enough to be interesting nor dumb enough to be fun...

It’s not a definitive retelling of Thomas' text, but it’s a reminder of just how good, and how relevant, his examination of love, loss and rural life is.

At its best when Eisenberg plays the unassuming slacker, it’s less gripping when he’s battering folks to death...

A fine balance of bravado and tenderness...

A grotesque carnival of murder and excess that consistently entertains but eventually trips up on its own wild ambition.

A bleakly plodding, quietly affecting drama that’s not so much interested in moments of terror, but what happens when they subside.

Merging elements of fantasy, high-concept science fiction and action-comedy.

It’s terrific, horrific fun; a brutal, terrifying return to form for the slasher genre.

A kinky exploration of a lesbian relationship...

There are a handful of worthwhile slapstick moments but they provide scant consolation for the rest of the movie.

Smart, funny, slick, often touching and always visually stunning.
