Epic 3D
“Naming aside, Epic could have been good, except that it wasn’t, it was stone cold terrible, something even a six-year-old might scoff at. I know, I’m just as sad as you are about the whole thing." Full Review

"The film's clever use of emerald-colored hummingbirds as transportation is a highlight." Full Review

Iron Man 3
“Black proves the perfect blacksmith, forging smart new tech and scenarios for the swaggering super-genius. If this does turn out to be Downey Jr.’s final solo outing, it’s a very strong exit." Full Review

“A madly creative, darkly comical, and fiendishly self-aware actioner with muscle to spare." Full Review

Fast & Furious 6
“Justin Lin strives to approximate something like Ocean's Eleven for petrosexuals, but testosterone outweighs wit and cleverness at every turn in Chris Morgan's starched script." Full Review

“Everyone involved at last seems to understand that the mode here is comic. Previous entries suffered from self-important glumness that gummed up the fun whenever the cars weren’t racing." Full Review

Star Trek Into Darkness 3D
"People are unlikely to charge out of the cinema with quite the same level of glee as they did in 2009; but this is certainly an astute, exhilarating concoction." Full Review.

"Spectacular special effects, superbly crafted action sequences, plenty of humor and terrific performances render it a cut above most summer blockbusters." Full Review.

The Great Gatsby
"When Luhrmann finally reveals the title character, he does so as assorted partygoers work themselves into a frenzy, Rhapsody in Blue pounds on the soundtrack and fireworks explode in the sky ... Unfortunately, the film is never again as successful; from here on, it has to dig into the bothersome business of telling Fitzgerald's story." Full Review

"So much effort seems to have gone into the eye-popping production design, swooping camera work and anachronistic musical score that the result is hyper-active cacophony rather than enthralling entertainment. Full Review

The Hang Over Part III
"You should stick around for the end credits because there's a Helms sight gag that's absolutely priceless. The movie could've used more laughs like that one." Full Review

"Galifianakis, though, is the key here. Able to smash a scene to smithereens with the simplest of lines, the hirsute comic is as unpredictable as ever, yet takes director Todd Phillips’ bait to up the stakes." Full Review.
