Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

The disappointing mediocrity of "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" may have set a new low for the DCECU that it is unlikely to climb out of at any point soon.

Michael Bay's "Ambulance" turns out to be a long, boring slog of a ride instead of the edge-of-your-seat thriller it was more than likely intended to be.

"The Matrix Resurrections" offers a return to a remarkable world and also manages to offer something new in a way that feels both organic and original.

Although some may feel nostalgic for the 'Candyman' of old, this new version is a sleeker, meaner, and far more terrifying version of the character than there has ever been.
