The Batman movie review & film summary (2022) | Roger Ebert
WEBMar 6, 2022 · This is not to say that “The Batman” is a downer; far from it. Despite the overlong running time of nearly three hours, this is a film that’s consistently viscerally gripping. The coolest Batmobile yet—a muscular vehicle that’s straight out of “ Mad Max: Fury Road ”—figures prominently in one of the movie’s most heart-pounding ...
The Godfather movie review & film summary (1972) | Roger Ebert
WEBMar 16, 1997 · “The Godfather” is told entirely within a closed world. That’s why we sympathize with characters who are essentially evil. The story by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola is a brilliant conjuring act, inviting us to consider the Mafia entirely on its own terms. Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) emerges as a sympathetic and even …
Pocahontas movie review & film summary (1995) - Roger Ebert
WEBJune 16, 1995. 5 min read. “Pocahontas” is the best-looking of the modern Disney animated features, and one of the more thoughtful: It is about real issues, even if it treats them with naive idealism. In its view, Native Americans lived in peaceful harmony with nature until European settlers came, bringing guns and ecological destruction.
The Shawshank Redemption movie review (1994) - Roger Ebert
WEBRoger 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." “The Shawshank Redemption” is a movie about time, patience and loyalty — not sexy qualities, perhaps, but they grow on you during the subterranean progress of this story, which ...

WEBSep 3, 2020 · Mulan. Action. 115 minutes ‧ PG-13 ‧ 2020. Christy Lemire. September 3, 2020. 5 min read. Its origins date back centuries, and its animated predecessor is beloved within the ‘90s Disney canon, but the latest version of “Mulan” couldn’t be more relevant, vital, and alive. Director Niki Caro ’s live-action take on the classic story ...
Scarface movie review & film summary (1983) - Roger Ebert
WEBScarface. Action. 170 minutes ‧ R ‧ 1983. Roger Ebert. December 9, 1983. 4 min read. The interesting thing is the way Tony Montana stays in the memory, taking on the dimensions of a real, tortured person. Most thrillers use interchangeable characters, and most gangster movies are more interested in action than personality, but “Scarface ...
Coco movie review & film summary (2017) - Roger Ebert
WEBNov 21, 2017 · Coco. “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. Directed by Lee Unkrich (“ Toy Story 3 “) and veteran Pixar animator Adrian Molina, and drawing heavily on Mexican folklore and traditional designs, it has catchy music, a ...
La La Land movie review & film summary (2016) - Roger Ebert
WEBDec 6, 2016 · La La Land. Comedy. 126 minutes ‧ PG-13 ‧ 2016. Brian Tallerico. December 6, 2016. 5 min read. Musicals made me a romantic. They taught me that some emotion is so powerful that it can’t be put into mere words—it must be sung. Some love is so overwhelming that you just have to move your feet.
