Promising concept, great star, disappointing execution: My Super Ex-Girlfriend is one of those movies where the trailer captures all the worthwhile moments. Pity, since Uma Thurman is incandescent as ever and the trailer was freshly funny when it first appeared.

Aquaman is a whole lotta waterlogged cheese, almost 2½ hours worth. It’s not a bad movie and certainly an OK time at the movies, but is kinda turgid, as DC movies so often are. Fortunately, the cast saves the day, starting with Jason Momoa, who makes a compelling superhero, if not an especial…

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a competent Marvel movie. Yet it’s also chock-full of agitprop for woke sophisticates, making it hard to swallow. Worse, it’s hard to follow and its Quantum Realm setting turns into a hall-pass for cinematic hokum. What kind of hokum? Michelle Pfeiffer, age …

She just realized she's barely featured.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is as heavy as its pretentious title suggests, with nary a great performance to elevate it. Yet this DC Comics blockbuster ably fulfills its duty of teasing nine sequels. It opens with a replay of Batman’s boyhood origin, Superman’s having been told by DC &…

So this is what the kerfuffle is about, a comic-book superhero whose main superpower is to create cartoons that save the day. Basically, it’s sixth-grade superhero shit, but does make for a sporadically good movie. Mostly that’s because of leading-man Ryan Reynolds, who plays it all for fun, as h…

Wakanda Forever is maternal Marvel, and not just maternal but sisterly and resolutely female focused. Sisters doing it for themselves, IOW. The only men are supporting players, including the über villain, who’s not half bad but not man enough to give the movie balance. This is a serious flaw in…

Sisters talking it out... too much.

Marvel follows its lead-off ‘08 home run (Iron Man) with a stand-up double. Hulk wasn’t one of my favorite Marvel characters, yet this movie is plenty entertaining, with several marvelous scenes, a few laughs and plenty of fanboy thrills. |

Norse mythology – vainglorious and a bit fussy – isn’t everyone’s cup of grog. Yet it inspires a marvelous comik movie. Just this side of campy in the opening reel, Marvel’s latest proves gracious and charming by the middle, then thunderously thrilling in its climactic battle sequences. Most…

Another rocket ride of irony, innuendo and immolation, Iron Man 2 picks up where Iron Man 1 left off. Dutifully advancing Marvel’s narrative about a glossy world of marvelous titans, it crackles with wit, energy and sexual tension. That said, it’s distinctly less delightful than its prede…
