Guardians of the Galaxy, Reviews

Critic reviews

Its underdog spirit, visual wonders, and decent comedic hit-to-miss ratio keep the movie from being a mere placeholder. Full review

Tim Grierson
The Verge

This movie is truly a lot of fun. Full review

Common Sense Media

Gamora, Peter, Drax, Rocket and Groot could never be called guardians of the whole hero concept, but in the end they do still manage to be heroic. Full review

Guardians of the Galaxy may blast off another successful franchise for Marvel, but it has a few parsecs left to go before it can truly claim greatness. Full review

Kofi Outlaw
Screen Rant

Colourful, tongue-in-cheek fun, purpose-built for grown-up lovers of kitsch ’80s science-fiction. But the Marvel formula is starting to feel, well, a little too formulaic. Full review

Deadpool, Reviews

Critic reviews

A scabrously funny big-screen showcase for the snarkiest of Marvels comic-book creations. Full review

Justin Chang
Variety

Those who thought "Deadpool" might just be a smidge more violent than your standard Avengers or X-Men movie, know this: It's NOT for middle schoolers. Full review

Sandie Angulo Chen
Common Sense Media

The sheer number of dick jokes will soon numb you to their impact, but this is a fun, if patchy, alternative to the glut of ‘the world is about to end unless we do something’ comic-book films. Full review

Jonathan Pile
Empire

Still, Deadpool is party time for action junkies and Reynolds may just have found the role that makes his career. Full review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

Deadpool is a feverishly eager-to-please comic-book movie about a super-villain who suits up like a superhero. Full review

The NYTimes

With great power comes great responsibility. That's what Spider-Man taught us. But Deadpool is as irresponsible as they come. Full review

Deadpool, much like its source material, is an irreverent, bloody, and riotous twist on the superhero genre - a must-see comic book movie experience. Full review

Ben Kendrick
Screen Rant

Deadpool may not be the first Marvel character for grown-ups. But this “merc with a mouth,” as he’s known, feels like the first one with real teeth. Full review

Michael O'Sullivan
Washington Post

A superhero with a perverse sense of humor is out for revenge. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll bathe in blood. Full review

Ethan Sacks
New York Daily News

Flamboyantly vulgar and determinedly self-referential, Deadpool has the shape of a superhero movie but the soul of a Danny McBride flick. Full review

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Reviews

Critic reviews

Masquerading as a heroic tale of rebellion, the true spirit of Rogue One is Empire all the way down.Full review

A. O. Scott
The NYTimes

The ultimate Star Wars fan film, it’s short on whimsy but when it gets going there’s enough risk-taking and spectacle to bode well for future standalones. Full review

James Dyer
Empire

This is the Star Wars story you were looking for but may not have even known it. Full review

Sandie Angulo Chen
Common Sense Media

Director Gareth Edwards (Godzilla) has created the rare Star Wars property that can be appreciated as a film. And it is about as violent and downbeat as Star Wars gets on the big screen. Full review

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
A.V. Club

Rogue One is theoretically a different kind of Star Wars movie. Except that it's not. Full review

Adam R. Holz
Plugged In

These are the risks and rewards of trying something new (or rather, new-ish): Rogue One is neither as good as a good Star Wars movie nor as bad as a bad one. Full review

Christopher Orr
The Atlantic

A well-crafted and thoughtful story drives Rogue One - in a sandbox that provides a perfect blend of modern action and classic Star Wars style. Full review

Ben Kendrick
Screen Rant

For regular moviegoers, though, the experience may be a benumbing one, and baffling in the bargain.Full review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

“Rogue One” represents an unobjectionable exercise in franchise extension. It’s fine. It’ll do. For now.Full review

Mi experiencia

La verdad es que ha sido una experiencia, como ser un reportero que no quiero ser pero fue interesante y nueva

The Fate of The Furious, Review

Critic reviews

Like other recent movies in the popular franchise, this one settles into effortless cruise control, escalated only by its extravagant stunt sequences. Full review

Jeffrey M. Anderson
Common Sense Media

Punctuated by crashes and drums of doom, this film moves to a dependable blockbuster beat.Full review

Manohla Dargis
The NYTimes

Fate is the first film in the series to be conceived after the death of Paul Walker, and the absence shows.Full review

Emily Yoshida
Vulture

If the audience ever slipped into idle for 30 seconds, they'd realize just how physics-defying and ridiculous this frenetic cinematic shebang really is. Full review

Bob Hoose
Plugged In

The Fate of the Furious is a solid addition to the franchise, but falls short of the bar set by recent Fast & Furious installments. Full review

Sandy Schaefer
Screen Rant

Soulless, graceless, witless, incoherent—even for the franchise—and, not incidentally, brain-numbingly long at 136 minutes. Full review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

A movie to which the brake pedal is but a rumour. If you can’t abide the Fast franchise, you’ll be furious, but fans will have a nitrous oxide blast. Full review

Chris Hewitt
Empire

Honestly, Fast and the Furious franchise is getting old and they're definitely running out of steam. This one's certainly not the best of the lot! Full review

Surabhi Redkar
Koimoi

Is it so much to ask for dialogue that doesn’t make you roll your eyes throughout “F8”? Or, you know, a story that adds up? Full review

Amy Rowe
New York Daily News

“Fate” gives fans of the franchise exactly what they want, provided they can ditch logic as easily as the movie does. Full review
