Thor: Love and Thunder
★★★★★ Hilarious and heartfelt, Waititi proves he's still worthy with his second 'Thor' outing, while Phase 4 finally starts to click into place. Haters gonna hate, but loved every thunderous minute!

Lightyear
★★★★½ Everything we expect from a Pixar movie: hilarious, adventurous, heartwarming, and even heartbreaking.

Jurassic World Dominion
★★★★★ Super fun, but super dumb. So, ya know, a big summer popcorn movie, heavy on the corn.

The Batman
★★★★½ It's called 'The Batman' for a reason, and oh what wonderful reasons those are.

Spider-Man: No Way Home
★★★★★ Unabashedly Spidey in all the right ways, the best of the Holland entries, and the year's best film to boot.

Spider-Man: Far From Home
★★★★★ A sense of loss hovers over what may as well be called 'Spider-Man's National Lampoon's European Vacation,' but it never gets in the way of the fun.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
★★★★½ Can the series still be spun in a new, wild direction? You bet Jurassican!

Incredibles 2
★★★★½ May not have as much to say about superhero movies this time, but Bird continues to prove he's one of the best action directors around.

Coco
★★★★½ Featuring lots of respect to the culture on display, 'Coco' is about far more than just Dia de los Muertos. As expected, bring a box of tissues.

Spider-Man: Homecoming
★★★★★ This is the Spider-Man we've been waiting for as our favorite friendly neighborhood web-slinger gets his due. One of the best films of the year.

The Book of Henry
★★★★★ With a love it or hate it twist right smack tab in the middle, the film is still entertaining, even if it never quite earns its tear-jerking.

Doctor Strange
★★★★★ Stands as not just the year’s best superhero movie, but one of the best all around.
