Jurassic World: Rebirth
It is competently made, decently paced and has a handful of effective action sequences. In short, it is the definition of okay. It will probably give audiences what they expect, if not what they’re hoping for.

Fight or Flight

Novocaine
The jokes are mostly lame, the story absurdly predictable and the characters totally generic.

The Order
It is a basic story with little to say about its subject matter. It goes through its paces dutifully and without a lot of excitement.

Gladiator II
It is enjoyable enough in its own right, with solid performances and satisfying brutality. It delivers basically what it needed to.

Though we know a lot of Furiosa’s tale coming in, seeing it unfold is still completely captivating.

The Fall Guy
With a screenplay that knows it should be silly, and two very charming leads, the result is as good this could possibly have been.

Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny
It is about seeing an actor we like playing a character we have enjoyed in a story that feels familiar. It is generally pretty fun to watch.
