'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3' culminates in emotion payoffs so satisfying that once the end credits roll the most rational response is applause.

A more refined version of 'Tetris' could have been as great as the game was on Gameboy. This version is as easily forgotten as the Atari one.

'Honor Among Thieves' is a good movie. It would be good even without the 'Dungeons & Dragons' branding. But it wouldn't succeed without it.

Instead of making a more important 'Ant-Man' movie, 'Quantumania' makes 'Ant-Man' less entertain. There isn't even a Luis appearance!
