No film in 2017 surprised me more than this one.

Feels as if del Toro borrowed and updated a campy 1950s sci-fi thriller.

Has the feel of a potluck dinner gone bad.

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

A Ghost Story is as thin as the literal white sheet that our ghost wears throughout.

King Arthur: Legend of the Sword takes the elegance, mystery, power and romance of a timeless classic and spits on it.

Beauty and the Beast is a faithful, often beautiful reproduction of the original.

The Great Wall feels like the superior source material for Starship Troopers.

Almost nothing about A Dog’s Purpose feels genuine or natural.

A Monster Calls plays with your emotions like a master painter plays with colors.

Moana is a brilliant crown jewel in a treasure chest overflowing with legendary gems.

The Huntsman: Winter’s War fully embraces fantasy as one of the fairest of them all.
