Tag: Action/Adventure

Death in the Garden (1956)

Action/Adventure Rated NR

“…a subterfuge film from Buñuel, in which his style and politics are subsumed within genre trappings.”

Robinson Crusoe (1954)

Action/Adventure Rated NR

“…could pass as just another literary adaptation if you weren’t watching closely.”

Suicide Squad (2016)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“You could put this movie’s scenes on shuffle, and it would almost make as much sense.”

Batman Returns (1992)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“…embraces the weirdness of the saga without a hint of hesitation.”

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)

Action/Adventure Rated PG

“A romantic, flashback-rich narrative distinguishes this feature-length animated effort…”

Jason Bourne (2016)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“Greengrass raises the level of difficulty for himself by creating an atmosphere of chaos, and then deftly navigates it.”

Wonder Woman (2009)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“Wonder Woman may look like a sex object, but she doesn’t carry herself like one, nor does the narrative treat her as such.”

Star Trek Beyond (2016)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“…has the feel of an obligatory installment, an effort aimed mostly at meeting a summer release date and fulfilling cast contracts.”

Captain America: Civil War (2016)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“There are acknowledged costs to the movie’s confrontations, from the bruises that almost every character sports to the bystanders who are killed in the crossfire.”

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“For the life of me, after two and a half hours, I couldn’t tell you why Batman and Superman were fighting.”

Two Minutes Late (1952)

Drama Rated NR
