It would be easy to be pessimistic about “Bumblebee.” considering the live action “Transformers” series is probably one of the worst film series in recent memory. Despite that, the billions of dollars it has made makes it seem like audiences don’t care either way. As long as it has big robots, they’ll turn up, which is why “Bumblebee” is so important and so, so good.
Joe Cornish has made a name for himself fairly recently working on movies just as bizarre as “The Kid Who Would Be King.” From writing “Ant-Man” and the 2011 “Tintin” film, to directing the sci-fi action comedy “Attack the Block,” each of his previous works have at least a little bit of charm and whimsy. Thankfully, that charm, whimsy, and a bit of action are on full display in “The Kid Who Would Be King.”

With a subject that doesn't immediately inspires laugh out loud hysterics, Adam McKay (“Talladega Nights,” “Step Brothers,” “Anchorman,” “The Big Short”) continues his move from screwball comedy into the world of "based on a true story" dramedies. He’s chosen former Vice President Dick Cheney as the basis for his next film. With a cast consisting of McKay veterans and new players, he’s set in motion what could be his most complex film yet.
In the recent age of Disney regurgitating most of its past films to stellar (“Cinderella (2015),” “Pete’s Dragon (2016)”) and less than stellar “(Beauty and the Beast (2017)”) results, it's easy to be cynical about anything coming out of the Mouse House that bears resemblance to past projects. It’s even easier to be cynical when that new project is based upon something so iconic, whimsical and “practically perfect” as “Mary Poppins.” And then you actually see the film, and all that cynicism is washed away.
James Wan, the director of “Saw,” “Insidious” and “Furious 7,” is facing an uphill battle when it comes to bringing Aquaman to a solo big screen adventure. Afterall, this is the character who talks to fish and was famously the fake superhero film pitched in “Entourage,” specifically because of the inherent goofiness and silliness related to his origin and powers. Can the man who has mastered horror bring this character from the briny depths and deliver a seaworthy adventure?

But no superhero film before has captivated audiences like “Into the Spider-Verse.”

Walt Disney Pictures released two sequels this year after years since the release of two beloved modern classics. One was an interesting meditation on friendship and the toxicities that can creep into even the most well-intentioned people, and how that can lead to, not only the friendship, but the entire world crumbling around that person. Surprisingly, that film is not the follow up to the critically acclaimed “The Incredibles.” It’s ”Ralph Breaks the Internet.”

Steve McQueen may very well be the most underrated filmmaker currently working. That sounds like his films receive little to no press, but quite the contrary. His past three films, “Hunger,” “Shame” and “12 Years A Slave” have all received critical praise and awards recognition. Even that adoration isn’t enough to fully communicate how talented of a filmmaker he is and now with “Widows” he has teamed up with writer Gillian Flynn (“Gone Girl,” “Sharp Objects”) to create something truly special.

Credit where credit is due, “The Crimes of Grindelwald” accomplishes a feat that no prior “Wizarding World” film has been able to do: be a bad film.
