Kung Fury travels through time to fight the forces of Kung Führer.

A fantastic action-comedy, most especially for people who grew up in the 1980s.

Bad Guys want to blow up a shithole to make money in rebuilding.

It’s okay I guess, but the writing is off and it’s frequently a tired revisitation of the earlier movie.

An old ace fighter pilot is dusted off to instruct for an impossible mission.

Slow and boring; I don’t see the popularity at all other than it’s not woke.

In a ruined future Los Angeles, a wheel-chair bound man is swept up into a shelved government military/science project.

An awkward movie that’s a little too bad to be campy. I’ll keep it around, but only because it’s almost collectable. Not exactly awful, but not recommended.

The moon mysteriously de-orbits, but a plucky team works to correct it. Special thanks to the communist Chinese for being awesome somehow. Possibly because the communist Chinese had their fingers in this movie.

Pretty rushed and bland. It has characters we don’t care enough about, and there are random Chinese for some reason. Overall not horrible but not recommended.

A renown robber is caught, but actually getting him to the law is complicated and dangerous.

A good tone, and I think I would recommend this to fans of westerns, but I’m not one of them.

A weak man’s family gets killed but a strong man seeks revenge.

It makes zero sense so many times throughout the movie. It’s also not proper within any of the universes of the previous movies. If you do or if you don’t like the previous movies in this series, pass on this.

An optics specialist is sent to investigate the unusual readings the military is getting from his equipment.

A solid movie all around. Great action and a good world, but with enough fuzzy science and The A-Team-style jury-rigging to rivet it solidly to TV-movie quality.

Supergirl supers superly.

Oh my god this is trash from every angle. Bad writing, bad acting, bad .. just bad everything everywhere always. It has no high points. Disney can suck a dick.
