Tomatometer-approved critic
Biography:

Zach Pope has been a fan of films since his earliest memory of going to see Toy Story 2… walking into a big building, smelling popcorn, walking down the dark hallway only lit up by movie posters all around, but when he finally sat down scared for what was going to happen in a room filled with darkness… a light shined onto the screen bringing all my nerves down to discover a brand new world. Movies are his life & he finds is the one thing that can bring anyone together. He reviews all films from indies to big blockbusters and everything in between. He is a huge believer that film is subjective and will give anything a fair shot. Film is Art & for me him it’s a getaway to so many incredible places.

Affection (2025) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Jessica Rothe’s Best Performance Yet” – Zach Pope Reviews May 7, 2026 Full Review The Sheep Detectives (2026) 95% 3/5 EDIT “Throws it back to a bygone era of family films that have a bit of heavier themes (specifically death) but also a Paddington vibe with its jokes/gags. It’s not mind blowing but it won me over with its charming characters” – Zach Pope Reviews May 7, 2026 Full Review Mortal Kombat II (2026) 68% 3.5/5 EDIT “Brutally unapologetic: nonstop fatalities, gloriously cheesy one-liners, & Easter eggs packed into every corner. Add in a standout Kitana and a scene-stealing Johnny Cage, and you’ve got an absolute blast from start to finish. Super VIDEO GAME movie here!” – Zach Pope Reviews May 6, 2026 Full Review The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026) 78% 4/5 EDIT “FABULOUS & dare I say? Better than the original! Enjoyable with a sincere touch on how IMPORTANT journalism is now more than ever The entire Cast is developed more dynamically! While it follows a familiar template there seems to be more meaning.” – Zach Pope Reviews Apr 29, 2026 Full Review Obsession (2025) 96% 5/5 EDIT “You will never want to wish for anything ever again. A cynical & twisted love story that dives head deep into the horror of what an extremely clingy relationship could do. Curry Barker has made a new horror Obsession with this terrifying masterpiece” – Zach Pope Reviews Apr 24, 2026 Full Review Over Your Dead Body (2026) 68% 4/5 EDIT “Utterly FANTASTIC a hilarious bloodsoaked chaotic romance filled with laughs, Action, & genuine relationship advice. Weaving is once again Brilliant, Segel is fantastic, their chemistry is pretty believable but Jorma Taccone direction was everything” – Zach Pope Reviews Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Michael (2026) 39% 3/5 EDIT “Lives & breathes on the back of Jaafar Jackson’s transformation into the iconic star Michael Jackson. It truly is astonishing how he completley embodied every piece of him… Michael has its issues (a lot of them) but it still a celebration of music” – Zach Pope Reviews Apr 23, 2026 Full Review Normal (2025) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “Bob Odenkirk’s Hot Fuzz meets Pulp Fiction, except it’s leaner and shorter but still all the same fun. I wish it was a bit heavier on the mystery, but the action was insanely enjoyable. Some all-time explosive kills in this one!” – Zach Pope Reviews Apr 15, 2026 Full Review You, Me & Tuscany (2026) 66% 3/5 EDIT “a simple & sweet sauce that has all the cheese you were meant to use in a ROM COM Halle Bailey is such a lovable character that it’s hard to not want the best for her + all the eccentric fun family members she meets are great plus Rege Always charming! ” – Zach Pope Reviews Apr 9, 2026 Full Review The Drama (2026) 76% 4.5/5 EDIT “A Twisted dark comedy that takes the most stressful piece of a couples life & twists it into an even darker pit of uncomfortability, moral thoughts, & even makes for a deconstruction of romcoms. Pattinson + Zendaya are great” – Zach Pope Reviews Apr 1, 2026 Full Review The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) 42% 3/5 EDIT “Jam packed with nostalgia, incredible animation, action packed Fight sequences that Nintendo Fans will lose their mind over BUT just like the first it’s pacing/story is all over the place leaving very little to care about. I had fun but wanted more ” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 31, 2026 Full Review Marc by Sofia (2025) 74% 3/5 EDIT “Unique but could have used a bit more deep dive into Marc” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 26, 2026 Full Review Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice (2026) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “You get entertaining action comedy that I had a ton of fun with. I miss Vince Vaughn in movies (and he plays classic Vaughn in this) ” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 26, 2026 Full Review They Will Kill You (2026) 65% 4/5 EDIT “Everything I hoped it would be and more. Balls to the wall Action, Twisted humor, & familiar (but BAT S*** CRAZY) Lore. It’s truly Kill Bill meets The Evil Dead in all of its glory! Zazie Beetz is one of the best Heroes of 2026” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 25, 2026 Full Review Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026) 74% 3/5 EDIT “Slight disappointment… Here I Come is a gory follow-up that may not reach the original’s highs. leans harder into the lore, the humor is sharp, & brings plenty of chaos but some pacing issues hold it back from being truly memorable. Good not Great” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 19, 2026 Full Review undertone (2025) 74% 4/5 EDIT “crawl under your skin & settle deep in your bones, making you question every sound & every shadow It pulls you into a suffocating sense of dread like something is about to latch onto you in the most demonic way possible” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 12, 2026 Full Review Reminders of Him (2026) 56% 3/5 EDIT “The Best Colleen Hoover Adaptation mainly because of Maika Monroe & Tyriq Withers” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 11, 2026 Full Review Project Hail Mary (2026) 94% 5/5 EDIT “Project Haile Mary is a masterpiece Cast Away meets Interstellar An emotional rollercoaster that will make you laugh, smile, cry, & fall in love. Rocky & Grace may be one of the best duos ever put to screen An Instant Sci-fi Classic Two thumbs Up ” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 10, 2026 Full Review THE BRIDE! (2026) 57% 2.5/5 EDIT “An audacious, unique, and one-of-a-kind idea that’s brilliantly brought to life but sadly doesn’t hit the home run it was aiming for. I LOVE the concept, I LOVED Bale and Buckley so much, but the rest of the film felt repetitive and overly long.” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 4, 2026 Full Review Hoppers (2026) 94% 5/5 EDIT “The next Pixar Classic! It’s hilarious, heartfelt, & rich with themes about our environment but even more about understanding the world & the people around us. I laughed incredibly hard and once again Pixar proves they can make you cry about anything” – Zach Pope Reviews Mar 2, 2026 Full Review Scream 7 (2026) 31% 2.5/5 EDIT “Scream 7 brings some classic nostalgic energy, catching us up with our favorite final girl and kicking off with real promise plus some downright killer kills. But despite the strong start, its reveals and stakes land with a thud” – Zach Pope Reviews Feb 27, 2026 Full Review How to Make a Killing (2026) 44% 4/5 EDIT “I was a huge fan of Emily the Criminal, so of course I dug John Patton Ford’s How to Make a Killing! It’s like your favorite drink: smooth, slick, and a bit fucked up. A nice twist on “eat the rich” while doubling down on what they can get away with.” – Zach Pope Reviews Feb 18, 2026 Full Review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (2025) 81% 4.5/5 EDIT “One of the most thought provoking sci-fi films of this decade An insane imaginative odyssey that speaks to AI, the issue with Doom scrolling, & where our society is going… but Gore Verbinski never forgets to make this entertaining & funny” – Zach Pope Reviews Feb 5, 2026 Full Review The Moment (2026) 67% 3.5/5 EDIT “Dives right into an industry that desperately latches onto anything popular & milks it dry for money until it explodes! This entertaining satire combined with Charli XCX creativity & Vulnerability makes this a good watch” – Zach Pope Reviews Feb 4, 2026 Full Review Dracula (2025) 54% 3.5/5 EDIT “Dracula is back! And the world is fleshed out pretty well!” – Zach Pope Reviews Jan 31, 2026 Full Review
