    Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

    ★★½

    There's some good action, and the main cast is pretty game, but I'm really scratching my head at what revelation people got out of this one. It's still fairly middling Dreamworks stuff, but I guess it's about how it sucks getting old?

  • Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    ★★★½

    A really solid return to form, and a fitting and nicely poignant end for Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford is still clearly engaged with this character in a way he absolutely was not with Han Solo in The Force Awakens. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is wonderful, and I like her character quite a bit. I could do without the kid, or at least without as much of him. He's not bad, and he doesn't really detract from the movie, but he doesn't really add anything of note, either.

    ★★★★★

    Absolutely breathtaking, and possibly even better than the first. They're doing things in animation with this film that just no one else in the mainstream sphere is really even attempting these days. Just wall to wall gorgeous visuals, coupled with great characters, heart, action and comedy.

    ★★★★½

    HOOOOOOOOOOLY CRAP.

    (Side note : Is it just me, or are there a lot of Asian/Pacific region action movies where the main bad has a Number Two known only as Mad Dog? There seems to be a disproportionate amount.)
