X-Men: Dark Phoenix; Stellar cast could do so much more in a film worthy of their talents. Motivation is cloudy and our connection to the characters minimal, making this another run of the mill comic book movie; C+
Ready Player One; This Spielberg guy knows how to pace a film and play in a future setting that feels familiar and possible. Deftly bounces between the virtual and real worlds with intensity while referencing childhood touchstones with great emotional resonance; B+
