X-Men: Apocalypse
Really Great 66 Points 2016

Now this is what a marvelous blockbuster should be. No surprise, as Marvel Entertainment always delivers. And talk about a monumental origin story, one that also harks back to existing plots! Wow. Plus, given that all the X-Men come out to play – all of them – it’s also a sequel in a way. Double …

Really Great 83 Points 2015

Cinema’s most famous title crawl opens The Force Awakens. The Star Wars theme rises above, softly, then insistently, its familiar leitmotif arousing our deepest cinematic memories. J.J. Abrams’ revival of George Lucas’s epochal blockbuster proceeds to visit every other touchstone, extending t…

Wonder Woman
Really Great 83 Points 2017

Miss Israel kicks ass as Wonder Woman. But that’s not all, not by a long shot. Wonder Woman is a perfect superhero movie, deeply of the genre, yet soaring above it. That puts it in the small pantheon of DC movies, deadly earnest in the DC tradition, a la The Dark Knight

Really Great 83 Points 2017

Spider-Man hasn’t lacked great reboots, but this third is the greatest yet. It’s the most High School by far, if not the first set in that adolescent crucible. Mostly, Spider-Man: Homecoming benefits by being the first Spider-Man movie to be produced by Marvel, odd though that may seem.

Superman
Really Great 9 Points 1978

Let me just say this: If this movie didn’t exist, we wouldn’t have any of the Dark Knight’s, Iron Man’s, Thor’s, Captain America’s, Spider Man’s, or any of the epic comic book films we have today. While a teency bit dated, Superman (Or Superman: The Movie, if you want it to be official) remains o…

Avengers: Endgame
Really Great 66 Points 2019

Endgame doesn’t disappoint, surmounting both high expectations and a lengthy runtime. Marvelous!

Avengers assemble, with each of a dozen getting ten minutes on average to reintroduce themselves. After those two hours they spread out over time – literally over time – taking the movie to its t…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is marvelicious, fully 2+ hours of Marvel deliciousness, including surprise cameos from big stars of the Marvel cinematic universe. Big Benedict Cumberbatch is the star around which this solar system revolves, in his eighth turn as Dr. Stephen Strange…

Great 4 Points 1981

I remember seeing this as a young child and being awed by the special effects. A bit older, a bit more jaded — the story is still a great one and only requires a bit of imagination to enjoy it.

Dune
Great 2 Points 1984

One of my favorite SciFi epics. Be sure to watch the “Directors Edition” as it is the movie as David Lynch wanted it. Time surely favors his editing touch over the studios that in a controversial move at the time wrested the final editing from him.

Great 13 Points 2000

Completely OTT hyperactive ultraviolent action film. Probably a bit too long but really really entertaining.
