Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)
Though WB marketing executives ~hijack canvas, ANL: 10x better than OG ‘Jam by epic meta-fantasy adventure, cyberpunk streetball visual aesthetics, positive black fatherhood/sports & life’s passion themes, vilain, A+ CGI, and LeBron James. 8.5/10.

Black Widow (2021)
A decade too-late for one of the OG [forgotten] Avengers.. yet 4th MCU release in four months, BW loses clever themes & Cold War-era paranoia in a heavily-clichéd, overactioned, choppily-toned, miscast, badly-CGI’d, watered-down spy film. 4/10.

Army Of The Dead (2021)
A zombie/heist film of capitalistic LV dystopia, signature ocularly-stylistic bravado, & clever modernized remixes of subgenre, AOTD returns ZS to horror roots, failed: hour-overlong, cacophonous, laughably-written, masochistic excruciation. 3.7/10.

Monster Hunter (2021)
Big monsters x colossal CGI blockbuster action joy quickly fade on this otherwise messy, virtually-unwatchable, contrived, mindless hodgepodge of aesthetics and [~narrativeless] spectacle killing DP/SNC’s 2020 wins for video game movies. 3.2/10

F9: The Fast Saga (2021)
An ignominious prism of avarice, disgrace, IQ/physics-deprived space lunacy, awful characterization, boring cars, retirement-home ready cast, & the now cringeworthy leftovers-theme of ‘family’, F:9 takes sledgehammers to what P.W. & co. built. 1.5/10.

The Falcon & The Winter Soldier (2021)
A corporatized reversion to Marvel formula and sterile exec. calculations betraying everything WandaVision+ promised in a CBM-innovative/avant-garde future-MCU, FWS: one of the biggest, spirit-breaking franchise retcons – on D-list heroes. 3/10.
