Extented Reviews from James Berardinelli. Approved as a critic by Rotten Tomatoes. Fantasy novelist.
James Berardinelli's All-Time Top 100. It has now been close to 13 years since I embarked upon what I called at the time my greatest challenge as a film reviewer: whittling down the nearly 6000 films I had seen (at the time) to the top 2%.
A movie review by James Berardinelli. The Marvels is so poorly conceived and ineptly executed that it not only makes this a front-runner for the dubious honor of worst movie of the MCU but a contender for the worst superhero movie of all time (although I’d argue that Catwoman retains the crown).
A movie review by James Berardinelli. In all the years I have watched James Bond movies, I will confess to rarely having been shocked by a narrative development or twist.

It also provided a trap for co-creators Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, forcing them to repeatedly try (and fail) to recapture what they harnessed in the first ...
A movie review by James Berardinelli. For roughly one hour, Barbie is a delightful journey into a satirical world of pastels and fluorescents, where everything is awesome and pink rules.
A movie review by James Berardinelli. Although some aspects of RRR may seem foreign to mainstream North American movie-goers, the meat of the tale – an epic adventure featuring two mighty figures – is the kind of thing that American motion pictures used to do well. RRR tosses aside cynicism, “gray areas,” and ambiguity for sheer exuberance.
