RoboCop 3 (1993) 20% 1/5 EDIT “Rather than end on a “This could have been really good, but we’re settling for barely adequate here” note, now-defunct Orion Pictures went with “Let’s hammer this thing into the ground and leave everyone with a bad taste in their mouths.”” – Flickering Myth Mar 14, 2026 Full Review RoboCop 2 (1990) 31% 2/5 EDIT “The clunky effects leave much to be desired. Other sequences miss the mark too, although Kershner does engage in some nice character building when RoboCop can’t resist visiting the neighborhood where his ex-wife and son live.” – Flickering Myth Mar 9, 2026 Full Review The Magnificent Seven (1960) 93% 4/5 EDIT “If you haven’t seen it and you enjoy westerns and/or Kurosawa’s samurai films, you should check it out.” – Flickering Myth Jan 14, 2026 Full Review True Lies (1994) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Again, it’s not an awful movie. It’s a fun ride, and if you enjoy it, awesome.” – Flickering Myth Dec 10, 2025 Full Review The Abyss (1989) 75% 3/5 EDIT “The Abyss is a James Cameron film that I put in my “It’s okay” bucket.” – Flickering Myth Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Rebel Without a Cause (1955) 91% EDIT “The story may seem quaint to modern audiences...but it’s still a timeless one of rebellion.” – Flickering Myth Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Tron (1982) 60% 3/5 EDIT “I’ve never found TRON’s characters to be anywhere near as interesting as the film’s look and feel. Like an amusement park ride, it’s a fun experience, but not something I feel the need to come back to again and again.” – Flickering Myth Oct 2, 2025 Full Review Superman: The Movie (1978) 87% 5/5 EDIT “The movie that started it all was a joy when it arrived. ” – Flickering Myth Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Superman II (1980) 88% 4/5 EDIT “I still regard the theatrical version of Superman II as a worthy follow-up to the original, even if there are those lingering "What if?" questions swirling around it.” – Flickering Myth Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Superman III (1983) 31% 2/5 EDIT “Lester apparently encouraged Pryor to do a lot of the shtick he was famous for at the time, which made the movie more campy than it should have been.” – Flickering Myth Jul 10, 2025 Full Review Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (2006) 4/5 EDIT “The Donner cut is a fun exercise in what could have been,” – Flickering Myth Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987) 16% 3/5 EDIT “Okay, I'll come out and say it: the fourth one is better than the third, but only thanks to the return of Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor and Margot Kidder's larger role as Lois Lane.” – Flickering Myth Jul 1, 2025 Full Review Watchmen Chapter II (2024) EDIT “Movie adaptations always get scrutinized by fans, even more so when it’s a popular, long-lasting story like Watchmen, and Brandon Vietti and J. Michael Strączynski have succeeded in crafting a faithful adaptation with Watchmen: Chapter II.” – Flickering Myth Dec 3, 2024 Full Review Watchmen Chapter I (2024) 92% 4/5 EDIT “"A very faithful adaptation of the comic book, with an animation style that hews closely to artist Dave Gibbons’ well-regarded depictions of the characters and the alternate 1985 timeline they inhabit"” – Flickering Myth Aug 12, 2024 Full Review Aliens Expanded (2024) EDIT “If you’re one of those Aliens super fans, then you’ll want to check out the nearly five-hour Aliens: Expanded documentary, which plumbs the depths of the film in an exhaustive look at the making of it and its legacy.” – Flickering Myth Jul 16, 2024 Full Review Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) 71% EDIT “Dial of Destiny is a fun ride, especially for moviegoers like me who just want to enjoy some nostalgia as we contemplate a retirement full of watching all those films we’ve collected over the years.” – Flickering Myth Dec 30, 2023 Full Review 5-25-77 (2022) 100% EDIT “A love letter to the era and the freaks and geeks who inhabited it” – Flickering Myth Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Back in Time (2015) 4/5 EDIT “Even if you're a die-hard fan of the trilogy who has seen just about every scrap of video about the movies, you'll find plenty to enjoy...” – Flickering Myth Jun 8, 2020 Full Review Mississippi Burning (1988) 79% EDIT “It's memorable for its leads' remarkable performances, and it's worth revisiting because it shines a light on a period of American history that has begun to fade a bit” – Flickering Myth Jul 2, 2019 Full Review
