That it’s not totally dialed in throughout makes it a victim of the same thing most bad movies fall prey to: having the spark of a great idea rested awkwardly on top of a spinning mess of execution.

Ride Along is a strong recommend when Hart is talking, but merely a mediocre attempt at a movie when he’s not.

Relentlessly awful.

Where The Banshee Chapter thrives is the overwhelming claustrophobia of the film.

Like a swollen boxer's eye, it should have been cut.

Educational content, clever and photorealistic dinosaur CGI, and John Leguizamo voicing a prehistoric bird. What else would one need for a fun movie stew?

One terrible sub-plot away from being a legitimately good movie.

The animation is beautiful, the music is catchy and the lyrics are clever.

A film that strives to make you think, and even tug at your heart. But the central foundation of the entire enterprise is so shaky that the walls and plaster are falling down all around you, even as you’re trying to make sense of it all.

A Stallone / Schwarzenegger film that isn't completely beneath them.
