wonder woman 1984 is mostly fine -- i certainly didn't regret having watched it -- but it's disposable and surface-level in a way the first one wasn't .

0positive

it's not great , but " the marksman " doesn't aim high and lorenz smartly relies on neeson's charm and everyman heroics to counter .

0positive

the little things is a taut , slow burn neo-noirone of those films that is extremely reluctant to give up any answers

if a movie is a meal , then the devil all the time is cinematic turducken . there is an awful lot of movie here , so much so that i wonder if it wouldn't have worked a bit better as a miniseries .

0positive

it's a film with a little bit of something on its mind , but not enough to prevent it from being a conventional sci-fi military thriller

0positive

cheryl guerriero's script follows plenty of the usual tropes of films with the same story arc , but the cast -- headlined by timberlake -- makes it work .

" bliss , " a film that captures cahill's indie-film sensibilities , isn't nearly as emotionally engaging as previous efforts .

0positive

while wonder woman 1984 still has a bit of the old magic , and its leads all turn in terrific performances , the film is hampered by a frequently nonsensical plot , extraneous showy action sequences , and it's way too heavy-handed with the moralizing .

0positive

it helps that ejiofor and hathaway are having plenty of fun investing in their respective roles .

0positive

tenet is a heck of an achievement and is spectacular to watch . technologically there is nothing like it .

0positive

0positive

it's hard not wish it was more fleshed out and nuanced .

0positive

it is easy to fall under the spell of the the devil all the time's cinematographic beauty , but there's an anemic script in the background that's only sustained by the acting and other aspects .
