Review of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 11 Oct 2019

What’s lacking in this entertaining pulp quest, I think, is some essential surprise…

Review of Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 27 Jun 2019

Far From Home succeeds with an unusual, troubling virtue: The best parts are the most fake…

Review of Yesterday (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 26 Jun 2019

Fairy tales edge toward strangeness, and the sanded edges of Yesterday ultimately feel more like a flashy commercial — one of those…

Review of Yesterday (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 26 Jun 2019

Review of Annabelle Comes Home (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 24 Jun 2019

Annabelle Comes Home is only a little scary, and too religiously dedicated to its own ongoing cash-printing megafranchise for big laughs…

Review of Toy Story 4 (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 13 Jun 2019

Toy Story 4 doesn’t hit the emotional highs of the previous films. There are good jokes that work and heist setpieces that don’t…

Review of Men in Black: International (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 11 Jun 2019

International is better than Men in Black II and worse than Men in Black III, and they’re all bad, so erase this sentence from your memory…

Review of Hellboy (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 09 Apr 2019

The best thing I can say is: This is a mess that makes no sense, so it’s a cure for the common overly architected superhero film…

Review of Captain Marvel (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 05 Mar 2019

Captain Marvel only figures itself out toward the end, when a couple twists I won’t spoil sharpen the spanning saga into a motley-crew…

Review of Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 31 Jan 2019

This manga adaptation is a tired science-fiction odyssey, with bland digital effects piled onto a sappy non-story that feels like a…

Review of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 28 Nov 2018

For a film that invites so much self-aware chortling over franchise in-jokery, you feel Spider-Verse has missed something essential from…

Review of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 31 Oct 2018

The rare quiet moments in Nutcracker suggest Foy might be a real movie star. Let’s give her a real movie and find out…

Review of Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 26 Jun 2018

Ant-Man and the Wasp is working too hard to look unconvincingly relaxed…

Review of Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 19 Jun 2018

Day of the Soldado is our generation’s Rambo: First Blood, Part 2, a half-mad sequel transforming a traumatized political parable into a…

Review of Incredibles 2 (2018)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 10 Jun 2018

Bird’s made the weirdest Pixar movie ever, revolutionary and retro, an anti-authoritarian ode to good parenting…

Review of A Wrinkle in Time (2018)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 07 Mar 2018

A Wrinkle in Time hits that unfortunate un-sweet spot common to big-budget science-fiction/fantasy, where the spectacle feels more…

Review of The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 07 Feb 2018

Ten years and three films deep, the loose trilogy is a case study in marketing, a portrait of how the noise around a franchise starts to…

Review of Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond (2017)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 16 Nov 2017

Jim & Andy is fascinating, but it lands on a weird message: Thank goodness Andy Kaufman existed so Jim Carrey could play him in a movie…

Review of Jigsaw (2017)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 27 Oct 2017

It feels too long, and it’s only 90 minutes…

Review of Gerald's Game (2017)

By Darren Franich (64) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 28 Sep 2017

When it works, it's because of Gugino, the rare performer who can suggest victimized despair and empowered triumph…
