Series jumped the shark 3 entries ago. If you like Transformers, you’ll like this one. If not, it does nothing different than the previous 6 to bring new fans in.

Should have just stuckmto the original. Too much was changed from source material and underwater CGI was really bad.

Very generic superhero origin story you’ve seen 1000 times. Brings nothing new to the table. Basically iron man/Spider-Man knock off but executed badly.

Terrible movie. First was much better. 2nd is not worth eating at all. Generic on all fronts.

Solid action movie. Does nothing new but keeps up the quality you’d come to expect from Cruise and the MI franchise as a whole.

Terrible. Not what the trailers made it look like at all. Maybe the 4 hour cut on Apple TV will be better?

I thought it was a solid entry in the series. 3rd act falls apart, but it’s really not that bad.

Definitely leans heavily into anime tropes but still beautiful to watch with great characters.

This one is one of Miyazaki’s more child friendly works but still great all the same.

One of my favorites from Miyazaki’s filmography. I really enjoyed this one. Character are the strong point here.

Easily Miyazaki’s best film, and one of the best films of all time, not just within the anime genre.

As far as comic book movies go easily Top 5 all time, same as the first. Right up there with Dark Knight Trilogy. Anyone that is a fan of the CBM genre should give them a watch.

As far as comic book movies go easily Top 5 all time. Anyone with any kind of interest should give it a watch.

Animation was weird and grotesque. Plot was paper thin. Turtles are done Justice as they actually act like teenagers. But overall this did not resonate with me.

It was a solid. The performances stick out more than the film itself for me here.

Loved it. One of Nolan’s best.Managed to make a 3 hour court drama compelling and keep my attention throughout.

It was serviceable. Leo, De Niro, and Lily are the highlights. Film is too long and does not explore the subject matter in a competent way that justify the time. Also it’s strange to have the movie center around Ernest instead of the Osage.

Completely tanked the MCU by botching the introduction of the supposed next big bad.

Terrible movie. Marvel has completely lost the plot at this point and is going backwards. Building up to nothing. Characters lack charm. Plot is weak. Feels like they’re just making movies to make movies with no real purpose anymore.

Very strange movie. Overall I thought it was still enjoyable and the acting top notch. 3rd act was a little weak though. And the main characters personality change from the first 2 acts was kind of abrupt and unprompted.

This was a well done movie. Enjoyed the different genre mashing, and general overall plot.

Nonsensical disjointed story. No real over arching plot. Narrative structure not fleshed out, and no exposition given to watcher. It is completely unaccessible as a singular film without pre-existing knowledge of Ghibli films or Miyazaki himself. If this would be your first Ghibli/Miyazaki film it’s a horrible watch. Good if you do have the required knowledge, but homework should not be required to have complete understanding of the film. The message should be clearly presented in the time, and should push the viewer to want to do some research on their own time to encourage a rewatch at a later time if pulled off correctly. This does not accomplish that.
