Captain America: Brave New World (2025)
42%
5.7/10There may be a great version of Captain America: Brave New World somewhere, but it isn’t in this film. All of the scenes with Giancarlo Esposito’s Sidewinder were Frankensteined into Brave New World during the reshoots, and they’re better than anything else in the film.

Novocaine (2025)
58%So, when the girl of his dreams (Amber Midthunder) is kidnapped, he decides to turn that curse into a strength as he goes into the jaws of the beast to get her back and prove his valor. Of course, nothing is ever easy.
Better Man (2024)
77%The biggest box office flop of the year and one of the biggest ever, Better Man, grossed just over $20 million worldwide against a $110 million budget. The extraordinary loss is much more on marketing failures, however, than on the actual quality of the movie, which has received good reviews. Based on British pop star Robbie Williams’ rise, fall, and resurgence, Williams made the somewhat bizarre call to cast himself as a CGI monkey in the largely autobiographical film.
While the film is about the challenges of fame and success, the greatest irony is that Williams was nowhere near a big enough star to make a film like this in the first place.
