Michael Keaton really should’ve nabbed an Oscar for his star role in this long-take take on his own Batman legacy
One weakness of this acerbic Prime Original is that the titular good guys are just not as interesting as their evil, famous counterparts, the Seven.
The emo strains of Evanescence soundtrack this gritty pre-MCU superhero flick, panned at the time of its release but mostly enjoyable now for its dark and slick aesthetic.
Believe it or not I’m walking on air/I never thought I could feel so free-hee-hee…The best part of this supremely goofy superhero comedy might still be its soaring, inspirational theme song.
This high-concept Will Smith standalone movie has a terrific first half, followed by a wonky and uneven back end. Smith’s Hancock is an amnesiac hot mess of a hero, causing just as much property damage as he does life-saving good.
There can be only one…seriously, don’t watch the sequel to this mythic time-skipping 80s action hit. Australian director Russel Mulcahy fills every frame with fog and music-video-tastic lightning, turning an already-epic tale into a bombastic and badass time.
