Yeah, #MadameWeb is somehow worse than you feared. One of the worst movies ever made, in any genre. Story makes absolutely no sense. The "action" is boring, with barely any cape stuff. Dakota Johnson looks as bored as you'll feel. It makes MORBIUS look like THE DARK KNIGHT.

Ok friends. #SpiderManFarFromHome is jaw dropping. First half is a lot of fun, coasting on the good vibes of the HOMECOMING cast. But that second half is EXTRAORDINARY, delivering the BEST Spidey action ever. Most SHOCKING ending in a Spider-Man movie ever. Fans will flip out!

OK. #SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse lives one step above Masterpiece. It's an actual work of art. Every frame deserves to be hung in a museum. The jokes and nods to Spidey lore are perfect. It's OUTSTANDING. The best #SpiderMan movie. Might be my favorite movie ever. Cherish it.

So, #Scream6 starts gory and stays gory (the kills — and there are a LOT of them — are all brutal). There’s a tension and grime that comes with the NY setting, and the “core four” make the series their own. Still plenty of legacy, without having to rely on nostalgia. Bloody good!

Nostalgic. HILARIOUS. With tons of heart and two outstanding performances by Ezra Miller. I honestly can’t believe #TheFlash actually exists. It’s magical. It presses every button. I’ll see it 1,000 times.

Not afraid to admit, I was wrong about THE LAST JEDI. I liked it the first time, but dwelled on its unexpected approach to what I thought were big questions, so I overlooked its BOLD swings. Second watch opened my eyes. It's legit great. No clue how JJ follows.

Never bet against @JimCameron. His #AvatarTheWayOfWater surpasses the original on every level. Incredible visuals, but a much more emotional connection to the characters and story. The final hour is Cameron flexing every muscle, reminding blockbuster filmmakers how it’s done.

So, #DEADPOOL2 is the perfect sequel. Doubles down on everything that fans love about the original, and fixes some of that film's issues. Huge, huge laughs that play the audience like a fiddle. @VancityReynolds destroys as Wade. Great action, fantastic comic nods. A killer ride!

He should do it in the final scene. Have Jim Gordon hand Batman a card. Tell him some "clown" has been stirring up trouble, and Batman will agree to look into it. Then he flips it over, and it's a Joker card. The audience will go crazy, probably.

If I had a vote, #HouseOfGucci would win SAG. I haven’t seen a better ensemble this year. DUNE comes close. But #LadyGaga devours the screen. Pacino is on a scorching streak with IRISHMAN and HOLLYWOOD. And whatever #JaredLeto is doing is mesmerizing.

Ridley Scott’s HOUSE OF GUCCI is The Godfather, set in the world of fashion. It’s magnificently tense, and a borderline farcical, but it works so well because the entire cast is EXTRAORDINARY. Leto, Pacino, Gaga, Driver… all incredible. Ridley owns 2021.

Ryan Coogler's #BlackPantherWakandaForever, above all else, is cathartic. An emotional movie about loss, legacy and healing. The story is intimate, but vast with global power struggles and palace intrigue. Tenoch Huerta's Namor is a FORCE, better than I hoped. So much to discuss.

#DunePartTwo is MASTERFUL filmmaking on an epic scale. Denis Villeneuve marries gripping character development to vast, sweeping cinematic visuals. And the cast evolves in their roles. I slightly prefer the simpler DUNE to this complex chapter, but still, a towering achievement.

Believe this. #BirdsofPrey whips all sorts of ass. It is a hard-hitting, unapologetic origin story for the team, and a terrific, vicious vehicle for #MargotRobbie. Violent, funny with CRAZY fun action. And Ewan McGregor is on a different frequency, but wildly entertains! See it!

Zack Snyder not being allowed to deliver his preferred cut of REBEL MOON for Netflix makes zero sense. Netflix has no limitations. Don't tell me it's due to the theatrical consideration. Bullshit The movie's in four theaters. That didn't drive the decision. WTF is going on?

Zack Snyder's #ArmyOfTheDead is a complete, total blast. It's Snyder's funniest film to date. It's legit terrifying in multiple spots (the Glo-stick/hallway sequence is pure horror). The human cast brings legitimate emotion and the zombies are UNREAL. Love seeing Zack free of DC.

Yeah, I wasn’t ready for #WonderWoman at all. I expected it to be safer. Sticking to what worked in the 1st one. Nope. @PattyJenks dropped a boot on the accelerator and made a grand-scale morality play with gonzo villains and inspiring action. @GalGadot @PedroPascal1 for the win.

This is so misleading. Why? Wow, stunned that this is the message being shared by VF on #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague. It’s four hours of never before seen footage, and four to five minutes of additional photography filmed in 2020 to add to his existing 2017 footage. Four hours.
Zack Snyder to Fans: Manage Your Expectations. There won't be much newly shot footage in the new Justice League.
