"The film functions as an ode to the power of the storyteller but betrays its own message because its own story is barren and incomplete."

"The film's ditching of the novel's nonlinear structure makes the plotting feel jumpy. Passionate performances by Buckley and Mescal underlined by Zhao's fierce direction counter it back to dramatic magnificence."

"The movie is probably too hammy with some of its gags to hit the highs of its many influences, but this is also a movie that could have easily have been a disaster. The film's excellent cast of talents fully committing to the bit makes it a charming and amusing."

"The problem with doubling down on the character arcs from the first film is that those arcs were dull and inane. Taking them to the next level just turns the franchise's awful character-driven focus into mundanity pretending to be a freak show."

"If you ever wanted to see Big Bird kick the crap out of Benedict Cumberbatch, boy do I have a movie for you."

"In buddy cop movie terms, this is one of those sequels that retells a lot of the original's most memorable jokes, only louder, while telling an entertaining, if less dynamic-servicing, story that will please fans. I guess that makes this the Rush Hour 2 of Disney movies."

"The premise of this movie hinges on the idea that the afterlife is "just one thing forever" and you have to decide what it is with travel agents at a crowded airport. Are we sure this isn't just Hell?"

"Wake Up Dead Man is darker and more measured than the other Benoit Blanc films, to the point where it's probably the least fun to watch. But it also has the wildest and least predictable third act, which makes up a lot of ground."

The best movie of the season is The Mask, bar none. It's a fairly effective, if slightly inane, chiller that's a lot of fun to watch. It's Jonah's highlight of the season.

I love Universal Horror and Rondo Hatton, so it's The Brute Man for me.
