Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)

[5] Part two of George Lucas' Star Wars prequel trilogy is cluttered and over-produced like the previous installment, but it's a modest improvement over part one, thanks in large part to an action-packed final act. Everything before that final act…

Captain Marvel (2019)

Kong: Skull Island (2017)

Kong: Skull Island (2017)

[3] Hello, it's the 1990s. We want our big, stupid action movie back. I really, really disliked this movie. It's so devoid of emotion and tediously boring, I thought about leaving before it was over. It's like Con-Air for the 2010s…
Iron Man 2 (2010)

Iron Man 2 (2010)

[5] A so-so sequel with a few decent action set pieces to offer, but Robert Downey Jr is the real set piece here. Without his snarky persona, the franchise wouldn't have much to hang their hat on. The biggest weakness…
