House of Gucci (*****) – Don’t you want me?
House of Gucci is a powerful and concise film. It gives us the clear vision of what happens when a family inherits a vision that they don’t fully understand or even deserve.
Let’s talk about Zack Snyder’s Justice League (***1/2)
We’ve lost many of this cast that could have been good for a few more films at least. Where do we go from here when this film makes us want to go back?
Justice League (**1/2) Gathered too soon
I want to see more films with this cast. They are likable and they have something to offer. A deliberate altering of the path needs to happen behind to make that talent come alive.
Assassin’s Creed (*1/2) Now really, what did you expect?
Apparently, there is enough riding behind this one to push through at least one sequel. The director is actually interested to explore the cold war. If they let him come back, at least it won’t force some other director to take a dive for material that can only take you so far before it pulls you down into the pit of hitting the marks.
It’s the same kind of fate Michael Bay has been saving directors from since Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (**) – Why build a miracle at all?
It’s not that I hate this film. It’s got some good, albeit disconnected moments. The task of entering the DC Universe mid-step means it will necessarily be different than the origin story heavy Marvel Universe. A used universe is fine with this reviewer. It just shouldn’t have to require one to watch Blade Runner to lighten the mood afterword.
