Big Hero 6 - 4/5

This is more than a good family super hero movie. It stands on its own with a good story, excellent pacing, and a lot of heart. It’s earnestly funny and doesn’t subvert its established rules for the sake of a quick joke, a mistake common to far too many of its peers. The superpowers are interesting and creatively implemented, the villain is unique, memorable, and flushed out. Sure, it’s childish in a few places and whenever someone says, “Woman up,” it’s cringe-inducing, but those nitpicks aren’t enough to bring the rest of the movie down with them.

Closest comparison: It’s like Iron Man by way of Frozen.

Setting: Super Hero
Plot: Super Hero
Tone: Family Adventure

Frozen II - 2/5

This movie is unable to escape from the shadow of its predecessor. For one thing, it is careful to ensure that all of the characters you might have liked from Frozen are back, regardless of whether they fit into the story this movie is telling. The songs are big, centerpiece moments but none of them are able to recapture the phenomenon that was ‘Let It Go’, despite their best efforts. The visuals are gorgeous again, and if your kids love the first one then it’s a pretty harmless way to pass 103 minutes; adults are likely to be much less impressed.

Closest comparison: It’s the best ‘2’ from Disney Animation Studios, for whatever that’s worth.

Setting: Fantasy
Plot: Adventure
Tone: Family

Ralph Breaks the Internet - 2/5

It’s very modern feminist, to the extent that if whether you enjoy the movie will be largely determined by whether you agree with modern feminism. Beyond that, though, there are several structural issues with the movie. For example, the film invents a character flaw for Ralph just so he can have a flaw to work through in the climax of the film. It’s not too far fetched, but it’s not well-established. In the attempt to promote women, all of the women in the film either don’t have flaws or don’t have their flaws addressed at all, which makes the characters universally bland and uninteresting. Still, there are a few shining lines of comedy and insight that are quickly passed over but are great while they’re being spoken.

Closest comparison: It’s like a cross between Wreck-It Ralph and the Emoji Movie.

Rogue One - 4/5

Ok, it's good. It's really good. Don't let the trailers fool you; several shots in the trailer aren't in the film at all. Definitely go see it.
There were 5-6 lines that were modern colloquialisms and I thought the female lead was the weakest part of the film. She was much better than I thought she'd be, though, and it just feels so much like Star Wars that I'm still giving it a very good ranking. It's almost a 5, but not quite
