Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The turtles are back
Animation film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” is probably the best theatrical movie version from the comic series created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. Considering how all those previous feature films were forgettable or dreadful, that is not … Continue reading
A Man of Reason (2022) ☆1/2(1.5/4): A Man of Boredom
To be frank with you, I did not expect a lot from the beginning, but South Korean film “A Man of Reason” tremendously bored me from the beginning to the end. While there is nothing particularly new or refreshing in … Continue reading
Polite Society (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): A feisty genre exercise to cherish
“Polite Society” is a little but feisty genre exercise to cherish for good reasons. As an energetic mix between martial arts action movie and coming-of-age comedy, it kicks and punches all the way for giving us a bunch of outrageously … Continue reading
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): You will gladly wait
I come to have some admiration on Tom Cruise and his recent outputs in the Mission Impossible series. I often wondered whether the recent installments of the series were more or less driven by a sort of middle-life crisis or … Continue reading
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): The lackluster closing chapter for Dr. Jones
Although I did not watch any of the first three Indiana Jones movies at movie theater, I remember well how I felt both entertained and nostalgic as watching that rather passable fourth film in 2008. Sure, it did not surpass … Continue reading
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4): Expanded with more style and substance
Animation film “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”, the sequel to its Oscar-winning predecessor “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”, is a busily rich experience I am willing to revisit for more fun and appreciation. Yes, as many of you already know, this is … Continue reading
Extraction 2 (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Another risky extraction job for him
Netflix film “Extraction 2”, which was released yesterday, does exactly what it is expected to do as the sequel to “Extraction” (2020). Yes, the story and characters usually stand back for its intense and relentless serving of various actions, and … Continue reading
The Flash (2023) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Flashy but superficial
“The Flash”, the latest product from DC Extended Universe (DCEU), turns out to be saddled with several other problems besides its very problematic lead actor, who has been quite notorious for what he allegedly committed outside the screen. Even if … Continue reading
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023) ☆☆☆(3/4): Better than most of its predecessors
I still remember how much I winced and cringed as enduring what followed after Michael Bay’s “Transformers” (2007). While the first film was fairly watchable, all of the next four sequels were utterly atrocious in many aspects thanks to Bay’s … Continue reading
Sisu (2022) ☆☆☆(3/4): Let’s kill them all!
I winced and then was amused more than once as watching Jalmari Helander’s new film “Sisu”, an extremely violent but preposterously entertaining World War II film which really goes over the top along with its silent but striking hero. As … Continue reading
