The Lego Movie 2
A slightly weak and muddled opening act that eventually finds its feet and sticks a solid landing.

A surprisingly novel (and frequently hilarious) addition to the halls of the Great British panel show.
Some nice character moments and another interestingly subversive villain, but let down by a lack of original ideas and very little character development.
A fun partial-reimagining of a classic that deftly closes several plot holes and updates characters cleverly, even if it does occasionally slip up.
Outshines the source material in almost every way, with excellent casting and performances, yet is somehow too weighed down by the original to truly reach its potential.
A fine movie for kids, with some adorable and surprisingly funny creature design, but a fairly paper-thin plot.
A fun, often ridiculous experiment in expectation subversion, with an equally over-the-top cast and perfectly acceptable set of core characters, ideas, and jokes. Enjoyable end-to-end.
A fun and distinctly different take on the MCU, providing a much-needed focus on one of its most important characters.
An interesting dive into Demacia and the evils of oppression, though a little lacking in true depth.
A masterwork of storytelling and creative direction, with some exceptional skits and a poignant meta-narrative on isolation, mental health, and the pandemic, though a little lacking in Burnham's trademark stinging wit and wordplay.
A beautiful fantasy world, but lacking in the depth needed to really invest in the story. Just watchΒ Avatar: TLA instead, it does the whole thing better.
A by-the-numbers college caper that's fun enough, but falls far short of the original and just feels a little loose in its own right.
