Mickey 17

2025

★★★★½ 8

Cedric Diggory was Mickey 1.

Bong Joon-ho's first film since winning 3 Oscars for Parasite was enough to already be seated on opening day, but throw in one of the best living actors in Robert Pattinson and make us suffer through endless release date delays and the anticipation becomes almost unbearable.

Striking images and scathing sociopolitical commentary are something anyone would expect at this point from Bong Joon-ho, but Mickey 17 feels as fresh and poignant as ever. An explosive…

The first thing I did when I got home is told my dog “good dog”.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is everything I wanted it to be and more. The most emotion I’ve felt in the MCU while simultaneously being the funniest MCU movie by a mile.

James Gunn is not only back with another banger soundtrack but his most impressive director work yet. The cinematography and editing was great, the fight scenes were incredible, the character designs were…
