3-star rating for me mainly because of its re-watchability which is low IMO. Pugh and Garfield certainly keep your attention in what would otherwise be another "Notebook", "Fault in Our Stars", "Me Before You" film. Critically, I tend to like Pugh and Garfield's American accents on-screen as opposed to English but overall it's not their fault that the narrative has been told before. If you want an engaging Rom-Com with no real thrills or twists that you've likely already seen thanks to the aforementioned, then this is your movie. Worth the theater experience? Meh.

Like it! I feel the Devs finally got it right! From gameplay to storyline to player movement, it's all "yes" for me. Having said that, it would be nice to have the ability to choose Game Commentators and even Team Coaches at least in Play Now mode -- i.e. to be able to choose Doris Burke as commentator and to be able to choose Phil Jackson as team coach. Otherwise, fun game on PS5, offline mode.

Growing up, I either missed the fact that all DC characters had severe mental health issues, or it's a new phenomenon. Seriously, "The Batman", "Joker", and now "The Penguin" have all demonstrated very high doses of psycho-emotional dysfunction within each major character, which again begs the question: Were these dysfunctions always there or did they recently decide to write this in to further character arc? Having said that, The Penguin is a masterpiece deserving of every credit and award.

Nothing bad about this film whatsoever. Literally laughed out loud several times throughout, The over-the-top, countercultural, flippant comedy never gets old. I don’t know where Reynolds comes up with this stuff! D&W may not be your likely pick for an Oscar, but it literally has everything you would want in a quality film: storyline, relevant thematic undertones, humor, and more! Kudos to maintaining Wolverine’s stoic resolve — good call!

It took nearly 20 years for me to realize that this film is epic, well, an epic disaster. Somehow in 2006 we were all fooled into thinking, “Wow! This is one of all time Greek myth war films to ever be displayed!” Not! It’s actually hard to watch considering all of the “Meet the Spartans” humor that encircles my mind while trying to stomach 300. It’s just bad: There are inconsistencies with the reverence shown to “King Leonidas”; Besides sheer pride, there really is NO logical reason for Sparta to go to war; Queen Cersei (I mean) easily gives it up (as Queen) to Theron; too many more plot holes to count! Worth watching, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s better than what it isn’t.

What a terrible tribute to one of the most iconic blockbusters in film history. I actually enjoyed the movie previews much more than the movie itself. It was super dragged out, predictable, slow-paced, plotless, pointless, and aimless. At no point did it ever get even semi-thrilling. Thanks for getting all our hopes up for absolutely nothing. Nothing.

(sigh) Why? 24 years into the 21st century, a “bad movie” can no longer be societally acceptable. Yet the producers of this very “bad” film decided to band together for the sole purpose of fooling us out of our time and money again. Admittedly I did cry: cried from the several sad, stupid attempts at comic relief that they kept inserting throughout the film. Admittedly I couldn’t close my eyes: that’s because they were already closed out of sheer boredom. Admittedly I laughed: While walking out of the theater I reminisced on something funny that happened at work last year. Well, that’s all, GvK2 deserves no more wasted time, breath, money, nor review from me or anyone else.

Certainly not a 5-star blockbuster, but it isn’t bad at all. It’s not the best in the MCU but it still beats ALL the Thor movies, Moon Knight, and Matrix 4 (sorry, clearly I hate Matrix 4). Danvers was a bit weird to me in this one, but LOVE Ms. Marvel. She may have been the highlight of the entire film. We all could have done completely without Dar-Benn, wow! I could have vomited a better antagonist while dying (IDK). Anyway, really good film! Go X-Men.

Instead of wasting more of my life reviewing a movie that wasn’t worth a single second of my time, I’d prefer to list a few things I could have done IF I knew Matrix 4 would be so BAD (in no particular order): 1. Watch a full season of “Murder, She Wrote” 2. Dream of playing catch-frisbee with my deceased dog 3. Write a screenplay sequel to “Fault in My Stars” 4. Sing Karaoke to Adam Sandler’s Greatest Hits 5. Do the Macarana 6. Watch a second season of “Murder, She Wrote” 7. Create more lists of things to do besides watch Matrix 4

I wish I could go above 3 stars but this film’s slow pace and dragged out storyline just doesn’t cut it. Dakota’s “Big Sis” or “Big Mama” role to the 3 teen girls is semi-cute at best but lacks strength. To further antagonize us, the antagonist is the absolute worst in every way: character, motive, plot, and script (yuck). Overall, as an MCU, sure, watch it, but be prepared to fall asleep as I did. I actually missed the final boss fight scene completely and awoke just in time for the very predictable last scene of the movie, smh.
