⭐☆☆☆☆ Absolutely Awful – A Disaster of a Superman Movie I went in with cautious optimism, but James Gunn's Superman is an absolute trainwreck from start to finish. The CGI looks like it was ripped from a 2005 video game — choppy, unpolished, and totally immersion-breaking. The story? Practically non-existent. Plot threads go nowhere, characters make zero sense, and it all feels like a first draft that somehow got filmed. The acting is embarrassingly bad. It's like watching a Year 10 high school play, but with a $200 million budget. Wooden delivery, no chemistry, no charisma — nothing. I had to stop the movie three separate times just to force myself to keep going. That's how painful it was. There are almost no redeeming features here. It’s not fun, it’s not smart, and it certainly doesn’t feel like Superman. Easily one of the worst superhero films I’ve ever seen. Avoid at all costs.

⭐ 1‑Star Review: “A bloated, uninspired sequel that squanders its leads’ talents.” Flat, aimless plot — What should’ve been a gripping follow-up is reduced to courtroom drudgery and tacked-on musical sequences that go nowhere. One reviewer summed it up bluntly: *“the film’s plot feels sluggish … bogged down by unremarkable dialogue”* . Misuse of the musical format — Nearly 90% of the film consists of musical interludes—most feel completely unrelated to the story. As one frustrated viewer put it: *“The musical scenes … feel entirely out of sync with the rest of the story.”* Wasted star power — Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga deliver committed performances, but their talents are trapped in a hollow narrative. According to one critic: *“Phoenix and Gaga deliver tremendous performances for a story that doesn't deserve it.”* Another noted that the plot *“undoes everything that the first Joker film worked so hard to build.”* A disappointing tonal shift — Fans expecting a brutal, character-driven follow-up got a mellow, mishmashed courtroom romance instead. *“It’s a musical, a prison movie and, mostly, a plodding courtroom drama.”* --- 🛑 Why It Feels Like a 1‑Star Film Problem Impact Clumsy genre blends Musical, courtroom, romance, and psychological drama clash without cohesion. No real character growth Arthur Fleck barely evolves—and the Joker persona is sidelined. Underdeveloped chemistry Gaga’s Harley feels superficial; her arc lacks depth . Unfair audience bait Trailers hinted at chaos, violence, and heists—but the film never delivers. --- Verdict If you were a fan of the original Joker’s gritty intensity, this sequel feels like a misleading detour into sluggish musical-territory. Even with top-tier acting and polished visuals, the disjointed storytelling and tonal whiplash make Folie à Deux feel less like a sequel and more like artistic self-sabotage. --- Final Thoughts: ⭐ 1‑Star overall — technically well-made but narratively lifeless, emotionally disengaging, and stylistically confusing. For many, it ranks among the most disappointing sequels of the year.

Barbarian tries too hard to subvert horror tropes and ends up being confusing, off-putting, or even laughable. But to others, it’s precisely that willingness to be bizarre that makes it memorable. Whether it’s a mess or a masterpiece depends entirely on your tolerance for horror that gleefully breaks the rules. If you're after a tighter, more traditional horror experience, Barbarian might feel like a frustrating gimmick rather than a clever experiment. But my final thought would be "if you have 90 minutes to completely waste then why not try this movie"

"Violent Night" (2022) delivers a thrilling blend of action, humor, and holiday spirit. David Harbour shines as a gritty, no-nonsense Santa, bringing heart and chaos in equal measure. Packed with intense fight scenes and dark comedy, it’s a wildly entertaining twist on Christmas classics. A must-watch for fans of action-packed holiday films!"

Just a straight down the middle thriller horror movie ... not bad but not great, plot was fairly predictable but it was decently tense throughout

Full of glitches, littered with bad graphic spots, frustrating side quests .... worst AC game ever

So unbearable, the entire film is one giant MCU origin story rip off, the acting is horrendous and the CGI looks like an Xbox game

The first 4 episodes were great ... and then they had to ruin it in the last 20 minutes with the "magic powers" angle ... barf 🤮🤮🤮

An absolute mess of a film .... such a disappointing ending to the trilogy

Fairly average ... Bruce being in it made it more watchable
