    Shazam!

    ★½

    Shazam! brings a lighthearted energy to the superhero genre, leaning heavily on humor and fun moments. While the jokes often feel overdone, there are certainly some that land and get genuine laughs, adding to the overall playful tone of the film.

    ★★★

    Aquaman is a visual spectacle with stunning underwater scenes and thrilling action. Jason Momoa shines in the lead role, bringing charm and energy.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

    ★★★

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ambitiously explores a rich political landscape, tackling themes of power, fear, and public perception in a world with superheroes. The film’s bold attempt to add depth to the genre is commendable, but it falters due to shallow dialogue that fails to fully explore its heavy themes.

    Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor, a socially awkward tech mogul, was ahead of its time but felt overdone, with exaggerated quirks overshadowing his intelligence. Despite its flaws, the film deserves credit for trying to be more than just a blockbuster—though its execution prevents it from reaching its full potential.
