Joker movie review & film summary (2019) - Roger Ebert
Sep 30, 2019 · A rating it thoroughly earns. The violence in this movie means to shock, and it does. Fleck's alienation in the early scenes evokes Travis Bickle's, but this movie is too chicken-livered to give Fleck Bickle's racism, although it depicts him mostly getting hassled by people of color in the first third. Fleck is also fixated with a Carson-like ...
The Shawshank Redemption movie review (1994) - Roger Ebert
Sep 23, 1994 · 142 minutes ‧ R ‧ 1994. Roger Ebert. September 23, 1994. 4 min read. Red (Morgan Freeman, left) and Andy (Tim Robbins) are prisoners who form a friendship in "The Shawshank Redemption."

Top Gun: Maverick movie review (2022) - Roger Ebert
May 27, 2022 · In "Top Gun: Maverick," the breathless, gravity and logic-defying "Top Gun" sequel that somehow makes all the sense in the world despite landing more than three decades after the late Tony Scott's original, an admiral refers to Tom Cruise's navy aviator Pete Mitchell—call sign "Maverick"—as "the fastest man alive."It's a chuckle-inducing scene that …
Inheritance movie review & film summary (2020) - Roger Ebert
May 22, 2020 · Inheritance. A movie with a don't-think-too-hard-about-this premise can work if it sustains its own logic. It doesn't have to hold together in our world, so long as we believe it will hold together in theirs. But "Inheritance" is the case of a film that's so full of holes, it was likely recut from an earlier version and not quite stitched back ...

Coco movie review & film summary (2017) - Roger Ebert
November 21, 2017. 5 min read. "Coco" is the sprightly story of a young boy who wants to be a musician and somehow finds himself communing with talking skeletons in the land of the dead.

Spider-Man: No Way Home movie review (2021) - Roger Ebert
Dec 14, 2021 · For a generation, the line about Spidey was "With great power comes great responsibility." "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is about the modern Peter Parker learning what that means. (It also helps a great deal to have actors like Molina and Dafoe in villain roles again given how the lack of memorable villains has been a problem in the MCU.)
