No longer trust Rotten Tomato ratings? Well neither do I. A review of the latest films to hit the theaters.

Hellboy

This reboot directed by Neil Marshal is borderline unwatchable. The backstory is boring and redundant. The side characters are 2-dimensional and forgettable. It’s made to look like Del Toro’s original creations but it lacks authenticity and the execution staggers along a whimsical clutter of flashbacks and painful exposition.

US

How does a comedian who’s second directorial film become the most anticipated original horror film in history? When that first…

Aquaman

Too much exposition from characters with severe mommy and daddy issues haphazardly twisted into a mildly entertaining story with great CGI.

Mary Queen of Scots

It’s an different take from director Josie Rourke, who makes her feature film debut, guided by the charismatic Ronan and Robbie, great cinematography and good directing it’s a very entertaining film from start to finish and gives a bit of food for thought.

The Mule

I find no comfort in watching an aging superstar slowly burn out into the emptiness of black hole it becomes. It’s once gleaming and powerful self with highlights such as Unforgiven, Flags of our Father and American Sniper, reduced to the amateurism of 15:17 to Paris and now his latest directorial film, The Mule.

Creed II

Creed II follows the rising star of Adonis Creed, son of former legendary boxer Apollo Creed, who like his late…

Overlord

Overlord is exactly what you see in its trailer. A World War 2 film turned into a what-if Nazi-Frankenstein like…

Bad Times at the El Royale

Bland, predictable and boring. The stay is good for one night but I’d advise an early checkout from this flick.
