Movie Reviews

Sonic the Hedgehog is off to the races.

Birds of Prey is soaring to new heights. Just before its release this Friday, director Cathy Yan's Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is earning rave reviews from critics, whose responses have been officially recorded on Rotten Tomatoes.

Harley Quinn is back -- and she's brought a few friends. Is "Birds of Prey" a fantabulous first flight or a colorful turkey audiences should avoid?

Looks like The Rhythm Section is hitting all the wrong notes. Blake Lively's newest thriller casts her as a woman whose entire family dies in a tragic plane crash with no apparent explanation. For better and worse, here's what some of the country's top critics think about Lively's latest effort.

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) has been previewed. The general consensus: the flick is a funny, very gory good time.

Robert Downey, Jr.'s first starring vehicle after his exit from the MCU isn't going over so well with critics. Dolittle, a reimagining of the character originated in a series of childrens' books and adapted for the screen numerous times, is receiving some absolutely savage critical notices.

Bad boys, bad boys, what'cha gonna do? Well, if you're Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, you're gonna return for a third installment of the franchise — and, while you're at it, you're gonna win over some critics in the process. Reviews are coming in for Bad Boys for Life, and they aren't half bad.

The final word in the Skywalker saga has been spoken - and critics have officially let their responses to that word ring throughout the galaxy far, far away.

Little Women is already making a big splash. Ahead of its holiday season release, Little Women's critical consensus is overwhelmingly positive, which is a great sign for writer-director Greta Gerwig's second major project.

​The latest chapter in Disney's chilliest saga is warming the hearts of critics. Reviews are rolling in for ​Frozen 2,​ the highly-anticipated sequel to the Mouse House's 2013 instant classic ​Frozen,​ and the news is good, with the flick being hailed as a worthy addition to the Disney library.

​It appears that ​Terminator​ is back. Reviews are coming in for ​Terminator: Dark Fate,​ the continuity-resetting latest entry in the franchise. Call them mixed-to-positive: critics generally agree that ​Dark Fate is the most worthy installment since Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

​It's been a long time... better hope you haven't forgotten The Rules. ​Zombieland: Double Tap,​ the long-awaited sequel to the 2009 horror/comedy flick ​Zombieland,​ has been screened for critics — and early reviews are indicating that fans of the first movie will find a lot to like.

Disney's modern version of Sleeping Beauty's baddie is set to fly back into theaters in the coming days, and it's safe to say that expectations are high for the Angelina Jolie-fronted flick Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. But is it worth a watch? Here's what Rotten Tomatoes is saying about the film.

Saddle up, Breaking Bad fans: it's time to hit the road. Reviews are coming in for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, and it's near-unanimous: if only for two hours, the greatest television drama of all time is back, in all its glory. The flick is currently certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Reviews are coming in for Ang Lee's sci-fi actioner ​Gemini Man,​ and they are... surprising.

Martin Scorsese has done it again. The reviews for Scorsese's The Irishman are in, and they're as fantastic as reviews can get. Starring Robert De Niro as former mafioso and alleged hitman Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, the film currently sits at a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

John Rambo has finally met his match: the critics. Reviews are coming in for Rambo: Last Blood, which brings an end to the story begun with 1982's First Blood. The general consensus: Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) deserved a better sendoff, and one with much less of a sadistic streak.

​Nobody ever accused Taika Waititi of playing it safe. Reviews are coming in for ​Jojo Rabbit,​ the writer/director's dramedy about a young German boy who befriends a Jewish girl during the thick of World War II. So far, the notices are mixed, but mostly positive.

Get ready to get your cash out for Knives Out. The first reviews for the film are in, and they're more than enough motivation for you to score your ticket for an opening-night screening ASAP. Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Knives Out debuted at TIFF on Saturday, September 7 to high praise.

Based on Donna Tartt's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, The Goldfinch is racking up reviews after it screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8. So far, critics really aren't loving director John Crowley's latest film.

The word is out about Hustlers. Reviews for Hustlers have come rolling in after the Lorene Scafaria-directed comedy-drama screened at the Toronto Film Festival on September 7. Early buzz indicates that critics are all in on this Robin Hood-style revenge story, set to hit theaters on September 13.

Pennywise is returning — and the Losers' Club might not like it, but film critics are pretty psyched. ​It: Chapter Two​ has been screened for professional reviewers, and most are in agreement that the flick is a worthy follow-up to 2017's smash hit ​It: Chapter One​.

​QT's latest has started off its opening frame with a bang. ​Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,​ the ninth film from Quentin Tarantino, raked in $5.8 million dollars during preview screenings on Thursday night, placing it in the same neighborhood as several of this year's top performers.

​Surprise — Disney and Pixar look to have another mega-hit on their hands. ​Toy Story 4 ​racked up $12 million dollars in preview showings Thursday night, the second-best showing ever for an animated film behind only ​The Incredibles 2​. The figure bodes very well for the movie's opening weekend.
