Reap: The Motion Picture 1999
Edit: I’ve now seen it. Everything I’ve said below is still true, except for the part where I say I haven’t seen it. I don’t want to add anything more as it would be too spoilery, but I will say that the fact that we’ve been deprived of this for 20 something years should be investigated by the United Nations as a human rights violation.

Wonder Woman was legit a 4 or 4.5 star film for me, and maybe the expectations were too much, but this genuinely feels like a missed opportunity.

Madame Web 2024
A film so controversial it’s made me come out of Letterboxd retirement.
Is this the worst comic book movie ever? Short answer, no. I can name about 10 other films that completely dwarf this in terms of sheer shittery.
But is it bad? Yes. There’s no denying that tonally it’s all over the place. The leads all try their best but with some arcs failing to flesh out, or even have enough meat on the bone to begin with, there’s…
