The Rock pulls off the truly impossible by salvaging this wreck from the surrounding rubble.

Hits upon familiar themes and dresses them up in splashy visuals for an ambitious but ordinary adventure.

This is an action extravaganza.

Body slams every ounce of morality that tries to bloom in its space. 

A comedy that keeps you guessing while you’re laughing.

It’s equal parts fervently funny, grossly graphic and utterly absurd.

An origin story with no intention of avoiding the inevitable battle sequences.

Forges its own path as a fun, original film that both stands on its own and fits into the larger Marvel Universe.

An experience that goes off the rails almost from boarding.

No film in 2017 surprised me more than this one.

Has the feel of a potluck dinner gone bad.

Wanders without focus instead of concentrating on the core story and characters.
