Avengers: Infin...
Great 83 Points 2018

Nearly two dozen major characters populate Avengers: Infinity War, a massive cast if not an infinite one. Many are major moviestars — Downey, Hemsworth, Hiddleston, Cumberbatch, Pratt, Boseman, Brolin. They can be very proud of Infinity War. It’s formulaic, but so were the great symphonies. T…

Deadpool 2
Great 83 Points 2018

The sacrilege of the progressive vanguard is on superpowered display in Deadpool 2, and man, is it ever entertaining. We’re talking LOLs out the wazoo. Never mind that Ryan Reynolds’ third turn as Marvel’s pottymouth superhero leaves you needing a morality shower after the lights come up. The r…

Incredibles 2
Really Great 66 Points 2018

Incredibles 2 is tremendously entertaining for young and old alike, albeit not incredibly entertaining. Coming after a decade in which superhero movies have ruled the multiplexes, it so gets Supers, as those id-like people are called in the movie, just as it so gets real people: moms, dads, kid…

Jurassic World:...
Good 83 Points 2018

Chris Pratt’s charisma is nearly as supernatural as the dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a competent if not especially terrific summer blockbuster. Pretty much every monster phobia gets exploited. However, the people are ploddingly obvious in their actions and not very engaging, sup…

Great 66 Points 2018

Ant-Man and the Wasp is the first superhero movie to equally feature men and women, with the Wasp being Marvel’s first featured female superhero. As pop culture iconification goes, that’s pretty marvelous.

Equality’s great and all, but fortunately it’s not the only reason to recommend *Ant-M…

Really Great 66 Points 2018

Sicario 2 couldn’t be more timely, even if its extreme surrealism is an only-in-the-movies depiction of what’s happening today on the TexMex border. That unfenced divide, with traffickers running rampant, makes an ideal milieu for a heavily militarized action thriller. And *Sicario: Day of the …

The Equalizer 2
Really Great 83 Points 2018

The legendary Denzel Washington etches another inimitable role into his peerless oeuvre as the returning Equalizer. Call him the Super Equalizer, able to right wrongs with a single, well-choreographed sequence of avenging ultra-violence. It’s an intoxicating brew, magnificently well presented, ev…
