Tag: Action/Adventure

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.”

Ashes of Time (1994)

Action/Adventure Rated NR

“…mostly this is a movie that wants to linger on mesmerizing movement.”

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny (2016)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“…inertly familiar, with a thin, Syfy-channel sheen.”

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“…baldly trades on its predecessors, but with enough artfulness and genuine affection to count as its own unique experience.”

The Revenant (2015)

Action/Adventure Rated R

“This may be frontier America, but it feels older, primordial — like a place humans aren’t yet meant to be.”

Recent Reviews

Together (2025)

Horror Rated R

“… eventually goes off the deep end, but without doing the work.”

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)

Drama Rated R

“It’s McMurphy versus Ratched, but it might as well be Life versus Death.”

The Bad Guys 2 (2025)

Family Rated PG

“… limp jokes around the edges involve a Musk/Bezos billionaire figure and random cultural stereotypes.”
