Kung Fu Panda 4 (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Enough is enough…
Animation film “Kung Fu Panda 4” is a passable product not bringing anything particularly new or surprising to its franchise, which was started with “Kung Fu Panda” (2008) and then continued in the two following sequels during next several years. … Continue reading
The Beekeeper (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): They mess with a wrong beekeeper…
“The Beekeeper” is an oddly uneven action thriller flick. While its action scenes are uttermost serious and intense just like its tough guy hero with a particular set of skills, it is also often so ridiculous in case of story … Continue reading
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Now they will fighter together…
When I was about to watch “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire”, my physical condition was rather exhausted, and I sincerely hoped that I could be energized by whatever it would serve me during the next two hours. Unfortunately, the … Continue reading
Dune: Part 2 (2024) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): …and a prophecy is fulfilled
Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part 2” gives us much of what its predecessor promised to us a few years ago. Yes, his previous film “Dune” felt to me like an exercise rather than an entertainment, but I still admired many of … Continue reading
Badland Hunters (2024) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A post-apocalyptic flick starring Ma Dong-seok
Netflix film “Badland Hunters”, which was released in last week, is a redundant sequel to acclaimed South Korean film “Concrete Utopia” (2023), which was incidentally one of my best South Korean films of last year. While “Concrete Utopia” is a … Continue reading
Ballerina (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): For her best friend
South Korean Netflix film “Ballerina”, which was released several months ago, is an intense action thriller film which distinguishes itself to some degree. While it lacks substance in terms of story and character, that weak aspect is compensated at times … Continue reading
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The passable last product from DCEU
“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”, which is the last product from DC Extended Universe (DCEU), is not a catastrophe at all to my relief even though I was not so impressed by its overall result. While it does not surpass … Continue reading
Noryang: Deadly Sea (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Driven into the last battle
South Korean film “Noryang: Deadly Sea”, the third and (definitely) final film of the trilogy after “The Admiral: Roaring Currents” (2014) and “Hansan: Rising Dragon” (2022), is often relentlessly epic and loud in what it is expected to present on … Continue reading

Batman (1989) ☆☆☆(3/4): That indelible darkness
The most timeless part of Tim Burton’s “Batman” is that indelible darkness of its superlative Oscar-winning production design by late Anton Furst. Burton and Furst created one of the most visually striking cities in the movie history which deserves to … Continue reading
The Marvels (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): A little too late for the ladies
Probably around “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), Marvel Comics Universe (MCU) passed its peak period mainly due to giving us so many similar products for more than 10 years. After the immense success of “Black Panther” (2018), the franchise belatedly started to … Continue reading
