Ballerina

Ballerina; Ana DeArmas works wonderfully in the world of John Wick. She has always had an ability to kick ass while looking artistically beautiful. Her savage mission takes us through a series of gloriously staged, spectacular action scenes, culminating in a fireball of violent destruction; A
 

Kung Fu Panda 4

Kung Fu Panda 4; The fight scenes continue to be amazingly fun to watch & the characters will always have appeal to them, but the story itself has played out & sequels at this point seem unnecessary. New additions are fine but don’t quite have the magic of the first three films. Let the panda be; B
 

John Wick: Chapter 4

John Wick: Chapter 4; The most epic of an already outstandingly epic action series. The locations are breathtaking, driving the fight scenes to reflect the surroundings in inspired fashion. The visual style is delectable and body count deplorably excessive, just how we like it; A

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum; Stylistic, violent, creative and kinetic. Body count climbs as Keanu kicks butt. Stunt work is insane and action shot spectacularly. Wick speaks minimally and lets his skills do plenty; A

Jack the Giant Slayer

Jack the Giant Slayer; Delivers F/X heavy fun in a way Pirates & Mummy franchises did. Big on adventure, light on any profound message; B+
