—Star Trek—

Zachary Quinto: 'There is an optimism that lives in the heart of this film and in the heart of the franchise that I think is a really great thing for us to be able to share with the world right now.'
Crossroads (2002)
Guess Who (2005)
A warm movie that's well cast and funny enough as it works through passive-aggressiveness to aggressive-aggressiveness and finally the acceptance of family.
Drumline (2002)
A most unusual musical...Learning something from his subject, Stone gives the picture a snappy rhythm.
Star Trek (2009)
It's this
Star Trek
's greatest stroke of genius to conceive of Kirk and Spock as two rebels looking for a cause...
Avatar (2009)
Worth seeing—and, yes, in a theater—for its legitimate "wow factor"...a visually intriguing diversion and instant movie history.
The Losers (2010)
This comic-book knockoff of
The A-Team...
is a lot easier to enjoy than Fox's sanctioned remake of
The A-Team
. Perhaps that's because Sylvain White's
The Losers
is self-aware of its schlock value...
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Smart or...dumb? Yes, and...fun to hang around with for a couple of hours.
Out of the Furnace (2013)
This material...isn't deceptively simple: it's just simple.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Lurches along a bit awkwardly, but always with utterly dazzling visuals and a goofy gag at the ready.
Star Trek Beyond (2016)
What works (marginally) in this instantly forgettable entry: a few diverting character moments...fan-serving fairy dust...action, action, action.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
The pivotal realization--that, in the end, using your heart beats using your head--works as a pithy instruction manual for this diverting but disposable adventure.
Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
[Spoiler-free review:] Marvel’s superhero movies may not run the risk of being called 'elegant,' but they’re sure as hell sturdy, well-built popcorn flicks that send audiences out unequivocally satisfied.
Vivo (2021)
It's fine...the plot is kinda clunky, but it's well cast.
