Turning Red (2022)

SPOILERS BELOW

Really fun and energetic (for the most part); it reminded me of Gravity Falls. It looks lovely even if it's just the bog-standard family CG movie style with maybe a sprinkling of "CalArts" in there, and the animation's great. It does really start to drag in the last act, though, and some of the allegory felt a bit off to me (the 'panda' is overtly positioned as a metaphor for 'your messy side', but it's clearly tied in with puberty, menstruation and womanhood too, so it's a bit weird that it's painted as something that's physically dangerous if uncontrolled and the happy ending has all but one of the family members deciding to continue repressing it; it's the henpecked father who gives Mei the talk about feeling free to express herself. Granted, her friends had also said this to her, but it still felt a bit mansplainy).

Rating: Good

Jojo Rabbit (2019)

This movie really snuck up on me. At first I was worried that this would be a less-funny more-tasteless Apatow type movie, but it soon reveals itself to be a Boy companion piece. It deftly balances tone - occasional flashes of absurd humour but mostly sweet, touching and sad. Fantastic performances all round and effectively directed for both the comedic and dramatic sections. Stunning.

Rating: Great.

The Kid Who Would Be King (2019)

 A pretty sloppy, very mild movie, with some terrible child performances, boring villains and incredibly on the nose statements of theme. Probably fine for undiscerning 6 year olds.

Rating: Bad.

The Batman (2022)

I'm a fan of all Batmans - '66, '89, Begins, Lego - and I enjoyed the super grimdark Sin City tone here, as well as the Batman Year Two set-up where everyone's fairly well established and Batman can stand in a crime scene with a bunch of cops while Gordon says to him "The Riddler wants to talk to you" or whatever.
All the performances were good and there were some tense action scenes (though it was occasionally tough to tell exactly what was going on, it was mostly readable), it looked nice enough, the score was effective if stripped down to the point of repetitiveness.  The Riddler was okay, though ironically it felt like Dano never really found the key to the character.
The main issue was the structure and pacing - the Year Two thing is a bit of a double-edged sword here because the film felt more like three episodes from the middle of a prestige tv series, just relentless plot beats, no breathing space or flow of set-up and payoff.
Solid, and I'd be happy to get another one.

Rating: Pretty good.

Scream 5 (2022)

Good fun but pretty much the same as Scre4m, tbh. It had some slightly different stuff going on, but it didn't really do enough with it. I do like that they still call back to the first one with little stuff like Red Right Hand playing or Wes Craven/Kevin Williamson references.

Rating: Fine.

Uncharted (2022)

Mediocre at best, a bit rushed and soulless. Action is badly directed, nothing really makes sense, and Wahlberg is a brick wall.

Rating: Bad.

Jackass Forever (2022)

 Very fun, I lolled a lot. Felt slightly less epic than the other movies, wonder if COVID scuppered some stuff. Definitely worth watching if you enjoyed all their previous stuff.

Rating: Good.
