Spectre (Mendes, 2015)
Spectre (★★★) starts strong, overstays its welcome, overshoots its marks, and ends up a big mess. There is enough good here to make it enjoyable, especially if you like these sorts of movies. But the film doesn't quite live up to the the rabid anticipation it seems to have succeeded in building.

Ant-Man (Reed, 2015)
Honestly, Ant-Man has more things I liked than any comic book movie since...Batman Begins maybe?

Jurassic World (Trevorrow, 2015)
Jurassic World (★★) is not a bad movie, but it is such a contentedly, non-aspirationally mediocre one that it often feels worse than it is.
