  • Aladdin

    The core of the films may remain the same, but there are enough differences for them to feel like unique experiences. It's ... the changes to the characters, their motivations, and the approach to the narrative which make them more individual.

    ‐ Douglas Davidson, Elements of Madness

  • Rambo (Rambo IV)

    It is as much a movie about growing older as it is about how things often don't change. But it's also a movie where a vehicle-mounted machine gun turns a faceless baddie into blood pudding. It's all about balance.

    ‐ Derek Deskins, Edge Media Network

  • Men in Black International

    Part of the issue may very well be the script, as it seems to have been assembled with the specific goal of not containing any actual jokes.
