Dumbo
Burton deserves credit for making this film not nearly as dark as many of his other features and the vibrant colors of the circus are definitely a departure from his usual darker tones.
Shazam!
Shazam! Is humorous, heartwarming, and lighthearted...Unless you are coldhearted, you will most likely walk out of the theater with a smile on your face after enjoying a few laughs.
Us
Us is certainly one of the smarter horror/thriller movies that have come about in the past several years (besides Get Out) and Peele knows how to terrify us without gore or crazy jump scares.
Ruben Brandt, Collector
Even if you don’t know the names of every painting flashing across the screen you are aware that you are witnessing masterpieces from almost the first frame.
To Dust
While the subject matter can be bleak and depressing Snyder veers away from the stereotypical view of mourning and instead offers a different perspective on the whole concept of death.
Captain Marvel
Larson is a great casting choice to play Danvers/Captain Marvel. She has an air of power with a soft femininity underneath and a sarcastic wit that helps lighten the mood of the serious, action film.
How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World offers the audience adventure and romance while finishing the story off in a sentimental and touching way.
Isn't It Romantic
Isn't It Romantic does offer a terrific message about loving oneself before anyone or anything else and finding one’s self-worth and Wilson delivers it in the nicest possible way.
Alita: Battle Angel
Rosa Salazar is more than believable as the innocent, wide-eyed (literally and figuratively) cyborg who eventually discovers she is a fierce warrior.
