The Nice Guys
While not as strong, or cohesive, as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys is still a humorous film with a multi-layered plot underneath.

Captain America: Civil War
Most diehard fans will find enough similarities between the comic books and the movie to feel satisfied that Marvel stayed true to the plot. Those that have never read the comic books but enjoyed the other superhero offerings won’t be disappointed by this latest installment.
The Huntsman: Winter's War
The real problem with Huntsman: Winter’s War is the plot. It’s boring and unnecessary. I think the filmmakers are banking on the hype created by the previous off-camera scandal to put bodies in the theater.
Criminial
Criminal is a very nondescript title for a somewhat interesting film, and that is only the first of a few of the problems plaguing Director Ariel Vromen’s (The Iceman) newest release.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice lacks is excitement. It has plenty of fighting scenes but no real urgency to add suspense.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
Part of what makes My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 so much fun is the cast. From Vardalos to Corbett and Constantine, Kazan, and every one in between, the comedic timing is spot on and serious delivery of such obviously hilarious dialogue is terrific.
Allegiant
Allegiant is beginning to suffer the same fate as another recent book trilogy turned movie series, in that it has lost some of the original appeal and has gotten boring.
10 Cloverfield Lane
10 Cloverfield Lane has a good, solid script, a great cast – with early Oscar buzz for Goodman – and enough suspense to keep audiences waiting to see what happens next.
