    ★★★½

    It's a huge slow burner, yet still elevated by the fantastic dialogue and magnificent performance from the late Gene Hackman (R.I.P). The twist at the end didn't really leave an impact on me though, and the film itself will be much benefited from a rewatch.

    ★★★½

    The story was very interesting, but I'd have much preferred to watch a documentary on if instead, instead of an acted out film. I mean it works well and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it's nothing special technically.

    ★★★½

    Ne Zha 2 is now the highest grossing animated film ever made, and if I do end up watching it soon then it's best I'd seen the first one, and it was pretty solid. The lore was cool, the action was entertaining, and I found the main character to be really likeable. It's a bit weak comedically, and gets kind of messy towards the end, but it's still pretty good and got me excited to check out the next one.

    ★★★★

    People react to Marvel films these days like a nuclear war is coming, but honestly half of them aren't even bad. In fact, most of the films post-Endgame have been really solid continuations of great stories, with a few bad ones splashed in there. To put it simply, this film was great. The mystery/spy aspects were insanely engaging, and I don't think I ever took a glance off the screen. And the way it encapsulates The Winter Soldier's espionage feel…
