An effortlessly brilliant adaptation of Shakespeare, with a stellar cast that makes great filmmaking on a low budget look easy.
It bears little resemblance to the source material, but still manages to be an entertaining zombie flick.
Eye-popping visuals fly with ease between quieter emotional scenes and a darker tone that all come together in a rousing redefinition of the legendary icon.
Probably the most ridiculous movie of the year, but also a front-runner for the funniest.
Pass on this one. Move on to a film with more solid credentials.
Refreshingly original and consistently hilarious, it’s the best coming-of-age film in more than a decade.
Boring, uninspired, and completely sub-par in every way. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
A mindless, frantically-paced heist flick that, while laughably implausible, has a few tricks up its sleeve to somewhat deliver on its cool premise.
Endless action, jaw-dropping visuals and tremendous performances outshine a sloppy script into the first big success of summer.
Well acted, directed, and shot, the film ultimately fails to fully deliver a memorable experience due to a script that can’t hold itself together.
Fixes some of the issues from the previous film and at times is quite good, but never really gets all the pieces to work together.
Entertaining enough, with eye-popping visuals and serviceable action scenes, but the script isn’t as clever as the film wants to be.
A solid foray into the emotional discovery of the people around us in the age of the internet. Go see it.
Shockingly, relentlessly brutal and genuinely scary, this is quite possibly the best horror remake yet.
This movie has next to zero redeemable qualities.
A definite cut above in artistic quality over normal young adult romance but frustratingly short of being a really good film.
The lovable cast doesn’t make up for the sloppy direction and uneven script that combine to be not that funny, romantic or dramatic.
While this is the action film “Die Hard 5” should have been, it’s ruined by hyper-patriotism and a bland, clichéd script.
A dark, unsettling, creepy-as-hell thriller from a genre master.
Funny and enjoyable if you don’t mind knowing exactly how it will all play out.
Unless you really enjoy the theater experience, skip this one and view it in the comfort of your own home, if at all.
An enjoyable new tale that invokes the same sense of wonder and mysticism as the original.
The action and visuals are more than enough to keep young children entertained, but adults will likely struggle to remain interested in this one.
A weak attempt to cash-in on the popularity of the genre filled with plot holes, corny romance, and restrained effect sequences.
Plenty of gunfire, explosions, and one-liners, but the experience is diminished by a weak script and laughable CG during the climax.
A worthy adaptation of the classic graphic novel that is one of the best animated films of the year, superhero or otherwise.
A darkly framed romance flick that is quite funny and original despite its consistent plot holes.
Lots of fun on the big screen, despite cheap 3D effects, but probably wouldn’t hold up to multiple viewings at home.
Jason Statham is Jason Statham in this pointless non-action flick.
While it adds little in the way of innovation, it’s an enjoyable political thriller, and Crowe’s portrayal of a corrupt New York City mayor is phenomenal.
Arnold’s return to the big screen is a predictable by-the-numbers action flick that only stands tall in its goofy over-the-top finale.
A pulpy melodrama that favors one-liners over character development, spectacle over substance. Enjoyable, but forgettable.
Jessica Chastain gives a riveting performance next to a stellar supporting cast in this portrait of a woman refusing to stand down in the face of adversity.
A well-directed screenplay anchored by the undeniable charisma of Tom Cruise in a more risqué hero role than usual.
