Tenet (2020) Colby Bryant ...Even as it fumbles in key ways, TENET will fit the expectations set by most Nolan fans... even while this proves to be one of Nolan's lesser films, in my opinion.

Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020) Colby Bryant Was it excellent? Totally! No matter how long it took to produce, the journey led to a satisfying conclusion, and it's been a wonderful ride overall.

Unhinged (2020) Colby Bryant Russell Crowe is always captivating, and even if Unhinged demands more of an exhibition of his presence than a performance, he kept me compelled throughout the film's uneven experience.

Hamilton (2020) Colby Bryant An incredible achievement to itself... and stands as a highlight for Disney+ in its first year.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) Colby Bryant Like Space Jam, there is no reason for this film to work on paper, but it is greater than the sum of its parts.

Onward (2020) Colby Bryant Onward's unique setting, consistent sense of fun and adventure, and deeply moving story made it an instant favorite of mine in the PIXAR line-up.

Assassin 33 A.D. (2020) Colby Bryant The collision of Holy Land antiquity with sci-fi trappings and modern technology kept me interested. As a result, the film stands out...

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) Colby Bryant (Like the) Falcon... in the film, the nigh-impossible task of trying to please (most) everybody is navigated with finesse amidst the bombast of a fitting conclusion.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019) Colby Bryant This film delivers affecting lessons on how to make a lasting impact with others through an engrossing story and genuine performances.

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) Colby Bryant "It was good to see two of the original stars come back and continue in roles they made iconic, even if it was a part of a story that didn't fully measure up to expectations."

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) Colby Bryant Peter Parker's story continues in this exciting, fun, and visually intriguing entry that is just as good as what preceded it.

Toy Story 4 (2019) Colby Bryant The feature-film CG-animated series that changed the industry is gorgeously & hilariously completed...be entertained by...the best friends any film goer could ask for!

Aladdin (2019) Colby Bryant A truly beautiful film with laughs and incredible sights and sounds galore; maybe it was unnecessary, but it isn't unnoteworthy.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu (2019) Colby Bryant By film's end, I wanted to watch it all again for the details throughout, and if that doesn't perfectly fit that "gotta catch 'em all" quality of the series, what does?

Avengers: Endgame (2019) Colby Bryant A truly incredible and virtually unparalleled moviegoing experience that I can't wait to have again as soon as possible and many more times beyond that...Mission accomplished.

Shazam! (2019) Colby Bryant Zachary Levi effortlessly steals the spotlight in a crowded landscape of hero films with an instantly iconic performance, and I personally want to see more of what follows.

7.5/10
Alita: Battle Angel (2019) Colby Bryant For all fans of sci-fi and action films, I would fully recommend... as it potentially could...(start) an exciting franchise (that) will surely test the limits of filmmaking...

7.0/10
Captain Marvel (2019) Colby Bryant An interesting premise... (with) nostalgic packaging. Enjoy Captain Marvel for what it is: an oddly fun character introduction with charm and imperfections all its own.

7.75/10
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part (2019) Colby Bryant I think this film has enough going for it to deserve a recommendation, even as it inevitably fails to recapture the full measure of energy and wonder of the original.

The Upside (2019) Colby Bryant The laughs were in far more abundance than I anticipated, and all of that fun came alongside a story that moved me with honest performances.

6.5/10
Glass (2019) Colby Bryant (The film becomes) too self-aware and grasping for some sense of self-importance, something that Unbreakable and Split (to a lesser degree) earned on their own.

7.75/10
Split (2017) Colby Bryant McAvoy makes the entire film a tour-de-force of acting, and while the story is genuinely unsettling to witness, it's mesmerizing throughout.

9.5/10
Unbreakable (2000) Colby Bryant (It won't) appeal to all... (but) for those interested in understanding the psychology of what makes heroes and villains tick, there are few films I could recommend higher.

8.75/10
Aquaman (2018) Colby Bryant It's predictable yet fun; it's a worthy hero origin, but being that it's this good for a hero so heavily chided for so long, it feels like even more of an accomplishment.

9.25/10
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) Colby Bryant With style for Miles, this film carves a unique place in the pop-culture landscape, honoring what came before while still being entirely its own thing.

7.5/10
Creed II (2018) Colby Bryant Feeling to have less energy than the preceding film, it's still an enjoyable and competently made follow-up ... and a fitting swan-song for the character of Rocky Balboa.

7.25/10
Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) Colby Bryant (It's) a worthy successor to the original (even as it becomes a very different thing on its own), and it presents a pitch-perfect lampooning of our current society.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) Colby Bryant Rami Malek's portrayal of Mercury should garner well-deserved awards acclaim. Undoubtedly, it was one of the most enjoyable biopics I've ever watched.

The Jungle Book (2016) Colby Bryant With incredible tech on display, it would all be empty without great actors embodying the characters. No one disappoints.

Star Trek Beyond (2016) Colby Bryant I summarize with as high of praise as I could for the film: Star Trek Beyond felt like an extended episode I've never seen.

Captain America: Civil War (2016) Colby Bryant (It) never felt beholden to "world building" of establishing the many films that will be following; however, it did feel richly constructed upon the many films made prior.

Doctor Strange (2016) Colby Bryant Doctor Strange breaks new ground from everything so far (in the Marvel Cinematic Universe)...new dimensions even. What a trip!

Saban's Power Rangers (2017) Colby Bryant If you keep your expectations at a level that is appropriate for a new take on a fun TV show, you are in for a good time.

Moana (2016) Colby Bryant There are genuine laughs and emotions to be felt here, and even though the runtime is longer than many animated Disney films, it flies by. That must mean we were having fun...

6.5/10
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) Colby Bryant I don't think it will be a film I come back to over time, which is a shame considering how many times I've watched other Burton films out of enjoyment.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) Colby Bryant The perfect compliment to children who grew up with Harry Potter and are now adults ... The series looks back with the trappings of a film more tailored for adults in tone.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) Colby Bryant The Guardians series continues well here in Vol. 2, giving viewers more of what they expect in the unexpected.

Wonder Woman (2017) Colby Bryant It isn't groundbreaking in structure, but its exhibition of strong female heroism amidst conflicts of the past just elevates everything...

Cars 3 (2017) Colby Bryant An existential crisis ... when someone only knows one thing and the world takes that away ... , what do they do next? That sounds like a great film, and Cars 3 mostly is.

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) Colby Bryant Seriously, this all needs to be put to rest. Autobots, let's roll on to something else, because this isn't working...at all.

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) Colby Bryant We have never witnessed the "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" like we see in the comics...until now ... (school and life problems make him) relatable.

Despicable Me 3 (2017) Colby Bryant I end this look at the film, hoping the filmmakers will consider an end, as well. Gru and company have had a good run with levels of success most films can only dream of.

9.75/10
War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) Colby Bryant The three films (stand) consistently as a strong trilogy, and in my mind, ... one of the strongest. Often, quality slips with each entry, but (these) get stronger as they go.

9.0/10
Logan (2017) Colby Bryant I plan to revisit (it) in the future, even if not often. (That's not) dismissive critique, but (preparation) for a bold, harsh look at characters you've loved for years.

Beauty and the Beast (2017) Colby Bryant A wonderful compliment to all that preceded it, fleshing out the story and connecting plotpoints that were overlooked before.

The Dark Tower (2017) Colby Bryant I was impressed by the film: the narrative hook, the look, and the stirring it gave me to pick up the books.

Smurfs: The Lost Village (2017) Colby Bryant You could definitely do worse with a rental, and unless you just adamantly hate all things Smurf, be open to having it for a movie night with the family.

The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature (2017) Colby Bryant If you're looking for a clean, afternoon watch with the kids, I've seen better and I've seen worse.

7.75/10
Kong: Skull Island (2017) Colby Bryant While he doesn't carry the pathos ... (of) Caesar of the Planet of the Apes films, ... Kong's a full on action hero here, laying the smack down in ways that make you cheer.

1.75/10
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) Colby Bryant All in all, I would caution ... (those) just there to "see the visuals" to think twice ... It felt like a complete waste of time ... (and) I'm not alone in that sentiment.
