Movies and TV Series Reviews

The recent shift in public sentiment and massive financial losses forced Disney to rethink its approach to Marvel Cinematic Universe shows and films. Unfortunately, some projects were already too far along to cancel. Ironheart is a true swan song of the "old Marvel" — its gravestone, joyfully erected by screenwriters over everything that once made superheroes popular and exciting. The show is already fully released, we’ve watched it, and now we’re here to tell you about it. Sorry, Tony Stark — you were never meant to save us.

Ready to dive into a world of high speeds and sharp turns? F1 starring Brad Pitt is already revving at the starting line like a supercharged racing machine. But has this racing drama, created with the participation of Formula 1 itself and Lewis Hamilton, managed to set a new standard for sports cinema and show the inner workings of the "royal races" like no one has done before? Or is this just another loud blockbuster — technically perfect but hollow inside?

Squid Game — without a doubt, one of the defining shows of its generation and a true phenomenon. When the first season premiered in 2021, audiences were stunned by the story’s uncompromising brutality. However, the ending felt complete: Seong Gi-hun won the games and managed to change his life. Unfortunately — as is often the case — Netflix couldn’t let a project with such overwhelming popularity simply end. A full continuation was announced, extending the story for two more seasons. Viewers were promised answers to all the bloody games’ secrets, and the lore — which desperately needed more depth — was set to be expanded. Who’s behind it all, what’s the deal with the VIPs, and how can it all be stopped — these were questions begging for resolution. Season 3 did, in fact, bring the main character’s arc to an end — just not in the way many hoped. In fact, it might even be the year’s biggest letdown. Critics, of course, handed out glowing reviews — but we completely disagree. And here’s why…

Zombie apocalypse fans, rejoice: 28 Years Later is finally here! Danny Boyle and Alex Garland didn't return without purpose — they've managed to craft a gripping survival story that fully immerses viewers in the transformed world of the twenty-eight universe. Or is it just another mindless zombie shooting gallery packed with cringe-worthy scenes? We watched the film and shared our impressions!

The John Wick universe with Keanu Reeves continues to develop. Four numbered films and a prequel have already been released, and the other day we received a spin-off called Ballerina. It is dedicated to the fate of the mercenary Eva, who underwent special training and became a professional killer. Usually, such works are recommended only to fans of the main series. However, I would like to recommend this particular film to all fans of high-quality action films. Details are in our article.

Adapting video games into movies is a tricky and risky business. Only in the last 10–15 years have we started to see somewhat competent projects — before that, the label based on a video game was almost a guarantee of disaster. When Until Dawn first launched, gamers immediately began talking about a film adaptation. However, bringing all the unique features of one of the most iconic interactive horror games to the big screen turned out to be easier said than done. Naturally, a movie version went into production — but the final product raised concerns. As it turns out, those concerns were justified. The Until Dawn film takes us back to a time when expectations for game-based movies were rightfully low. Here’s why.

Some stories make you want to return to them again and again. And when they don't just come alive, but do so in 3D on the big screen, it's always an event. The How to Train Your Dragon remake is exactly that kind of case. Director Dean DeBlois, who helmed the entire animated trilogy, has carefully transferred his own creation into a new format, enriching it with real actors' performances and excellent special effects. In this article, we'll discuss what delights about the film and whether it could have been even better.

"MobLand" is a series about the mafia, in the creation of which Guy Ritchie took an active part. He was the director of individual episodes, as well as the producer. The key roles were played by Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. We have familiarized ourselves with the first episodes and are in a hurry to share our opinion.

Finding a good comedy series today is no easy task. The era of cheerful sitcoms, where most events took place in a single room or office, is long gone. That’s why the full release of The Studio turned out to be a real gem from Apple. The new show skillfully combines classic sitcom-style gags with a continuous, coherent plot. On top of that, it’s a behind-the-scenes story about a well-known studio producing modern films — with tons of cameos and references. You might say: a dream series — and you’d be absolutely right. The Studio is one of the biggest surprises of the year and absolutely not to be missed. Now let’s dive in.

In recent years, nearly every Disney release has made movie fans anxious due to questionable production decisions. When studio executives got around to the idea of remaking Lilo & Stitch, millions of fans held their breath — bringing beloved characters and the unique atmosphere of Hawaii to the big screen is no easy task. Did they manage to preserve that special ohana magic (family in Hawaiian) that touched viewers' hearts two decades ago? Or did we get a beautiful but hollow copy, like the recent Snow White? Let's break it down in this review.

The Final Reckoning has hit theaters — not just another action flick, but the culmination of nearly 30 years of the Mission: Impossible franchise. Has Tom Cruise managed to not only outdo himself with practical effects but also craft a cohesive, emotionally charged spectacle that leaves audiences with a lasting impression? Let's find out.

There’s a lot of contradictory things one could say about the The Last of Us series, but one thing is undeniable — the project managed to capture attention and stay in the spotlight for a long time, both among gamers and general viewers. Based on the first part of the game of the same name, the show more or less accurately followed all the major plot twists of the original, ending on a powerful cliffhanger. It was almost obvious that the creators would continue in a similar format, this time using The Last of Us Part II as the foundation. On April 14, the long-awaited second season finally premiered — although only the first episode is out so far. The remaining seven episodes will be released weekly on Mondays. We immediately dropped everything to watch it and share our impressions, and we’ll keep updating this article as new chapters are released.

Love, Death & Robots is a special show. In many ways, it’s a unique project that once brought together artists and writers to create something extraordinary. Each short episode is a standalone piece with its own visual style and message. The first season debuted in 2019 and immediately became an event. A lot of time has passed since then, and now in 2025, we’re seeing the release of season four — which turned out to be… something entirely different. What happened to one of Netflix’s most important projects, and who’s to blame? Let’s find out.

At the end of April, Netflix released another unexpected hit — The Eternaut. An Argentine post-apocalypse based on a comic book from as far back as 1969. In its homeland, the story has a cult status, but it seems that even the creators themselves did not expect such global success and attention. On Rotten Tomatoes, the project's rating is above 90%, and not only among critics but also among viewers. However, on other aggregators, the picture is less rosy, and the ratings are calmer. We decided to figure out what The Eternaut is and whether it's really worth spending time on if you weren't born in Argentina.

The news about the return of the Final Destination franchise with Bloodlines caused excitement among fans. Not surprising — the last film was released 14 (!) years ago. From the first trailers, it became clear: viewers should expect elaborate deaths, which is why they love the series. But can Bloodlines offer something new — or did we get just another bloody attraction without a spark? Has Death lost all its creativity in this installment, and with it, viewer interest? Read in the review!

In April, the first three episodes of the second season of the series Andor premiered on Disney+. It is a prequel to the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and its action takes place between the third and fourth episodes of Star Wars. We got acquainted with the new adventures of the rebel Cassian and are in a hurry to share our impressions.

In May, Netflix began broadcasting the second season of the series "Poker Face". Its episodes are built on an interesting principle — we know from the very beginning who committed the crime. We can only watch how the heroes come to the right conclusion. Moreover, the cases are investigated by a girl who always feels when she is being lied to. In theory, such a concept sounds interesting, but in practice, everything is not so good. If you doubt whether it is worth spending time on this series — check out our article.

Friends, it's May, and Thunderbolts* has stormed into theaters — a Marvel blockbuster about a team of supervillains who must save the world or die trying. If this pompous introduction leaves you with nothing but a puzzled «WHO???» in the spirit of Korrath from Guardians of the Galaxy — you're not alone. Why is this film being praised from every direction? Is it really more interesting than previous Marvel projects? And is it worth spending an evening on? Let's break it down in this review.

Lately, the controversial quality of Marvel’s productions has been generously reflected in their box office numbers, but the TV shows are still being watched, if only occasionally. For a long time, this convinced the bosses of the cinematic universe that they were doing everything right and that there was no need to change course. Fortunately, even here, justice has slowly begun to prevail, and public interest has waned. This has led to the fate of many projects—like Ms. Marvel, Agatha All Along, Moon Knight, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and others — now hanging in the balance. Against the backdrop of such disappointing news for Disney, the soft reboot of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, Daredevil: Born Again, seemed like manna from heaven. They promised an adult rating and the preservation of the overall brutal seriousness. The premiere made a lot of noise, and we shared our first impressions, which were positive. However, the show’s finale seemed to fly under the radar of news outlets and discussions. We’ve watched the series and are ready to explain why that happened.

Last year's drama Conclave directed by Edward Berger collected numerous critical awards, won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and showed impressive box office results. However, in the wake of the death of Pope Francis (Franciscus) and the upcoming conclave to elect the next pontiff, the film is experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity: its viewership has increased by 283% over the past week. Here's why you should also check out Conclave if you haven't already.
