The Woman King (2022)

Is all right.

I found the coming-of-age story of Nawi, the character who joined the Agojie actually more engrossing. The story may also have been slightly diminished in trying to tell her story as well as that of The Woman King herself within 135 minutes.

The battle scenes remind me of the Dora Milaje from the Black Panther and Avenger movies when they get into a massive battle. Except here, the violence is more brutal and the setting probably more disturbingly realistic.
 

Elemental (2023)

Nice! This is basically what Pixar does best in the storytelling department.
 

The Flash (2023)

Was all right. Michael Keaton has some nice bits. The final scene was good.
 

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)

Nice!
 

Fast X (2023)

Was going to give this a skip but decided to watch.

Action's not bad. Jason Mamoa's character is a fun and fierce opponent. Nice to see some characters return. Didn't care for the cheese.
 

Of an Age (2022)

The performances are what makes this one work, IMHO. Direction's also pretty much nifty.
 

Boy from Heaven (2022)

Very nice!

One of those films that show the world as a fucked up place. Great performances. Tight story telling.
