Unlike the 8-movie “Harry Potter” series, the “Fantastic Beasts” sector of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World has never been able to quite get off the ground.

"Jim Carrey is in tip-top comedic form (I hope he’s not serious about retiring from acting) and all the characters are likeable in one way or another."

"Clearly someone wanted to dump this movie on just the right unremarkable weekend where it would be free of decent competition."

'I was all ready to embrace this movie because theaters haven’t had a potential blockbuster since “The Batman” three weeks ago, but this is not a blockbuster of an effort.'

"I found myself really getting invested in the culture of 'Jujutsu Kaisen.' It doesn’t hurt that the creative curse/creature designs are incredible."

"I have never seen a Pixar movie I didn’t like, and the “Red”-hot streak continues here."

"Maybe it’s because I love the Batman universe so much that every misstep in this movie seems so glaring. And for some reason, Batman takes a lot of steps in this movie."

"I’m no dog person, and I strongly disapprove of some of Briggs’ choices throughout the journey, but I was surprised by how much I liked this movie overall."

"The film is based on a video game, and I’m sure the action works better in that setting."

Legendary Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is back ... and so is his ridiculous mustache.

"It should be noted that many scenes in this movie involve the area… below the belt."

"This movie is worth seeking out, even though it probably won’t be at the top of your local theater’s marquee"

“Redeeming Love” is a cross between a Christian movie, a mushy romance, and a demented exploitation film.

"This is a worthy successor to the 1996 film, which is more than I can say for the three preceding sequels."

"I dare someone to give us a sequel after how bad this movie is and how badly it has performed."

This week Bob Garver reviews the films "Matrix Resurrections", "The King’s Man", and "American Underdog."

This is a movie for families with kids too young to see “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and that have already seen “Encanto.”

"Spider-Man: No Way Home isn’t quite the best movie of the year, but it’s likely to be the best time you’ll have at the movies all year."

Review: "If I wasn’t already familiar with Spielberg’s filmography, I would have guessed that he’d been directing musicals his entire career."

"It’s not a fun journey, but the ending of the film, inevitable cameos and all, redeems a lot of what came before it."

"I saw this movie yesterday and I had to look up at least 75% of the characters’ names for that plot description, and I don’t just mean for spelling."

“Halloween Kills” does offer some good gory horror violence, if you’re into that sort of thing.

"This will be Craig’s last turn as James Bond, and it feels right."

"As with the first film, the action is all CGI muck."
