The resolution is typical graphic novel style overload but undeniably entertaining with the set up ripe for engagement and continuation. "Guns Akimbo" is good fun with its tongue-in-cheek, a good sense of itself and a flagrant style.

"The Call Of The Wild" does it differently and, as a result, benefits from what would be seen as a more natural performance of the dog. The dog of course is not a dog at all but motion captured but the way it is done seems undeniable.

Overall the film though maintains its pace while getting slightly sloppy at the end because all details can ride together…but "Fantasy Island" knows its audience, still wanting to give them scares but without creeping or goring them out too much

With "Sonic The Hedgehog", the want to create something family friendly can create a groan factor because some of the lines sound like they were created out of a screenplay workbook. Yet the pure essence of Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz) works because it is schizophrenic.

The trajectory of "Birds Of Prey” is visualizing the identity of Harley Quinn and her journey to become that whom she truly is. The movie tries in earnest to portray this road of discovery in Quinn's own special way which is undeniably entertaining and edgy in its own bizarro progression.

“The Rhythm Section” finds this but the pacing and intention is sometimes scattershot. Blake Lively, almost unrecognizable, really commits herself to the role showing the progression between rock bottom and confidence while still maintaining a level of humanity and realness.

The laughs are still there, Smith and Lawrence do their jobs well but they do lumber more, especially Lawrence but that is the point of the story. Smith understands this and is smart about it. What is also glaring, but more of a nitpick, is that one can tell that much of the film is not shot in Miami.

The film here feels right. It is the best made of this trilogy of films mating some of the basic risks that Abrams might have avoided with “Force Awakens” which felt infinitely too safe but also keying into aspects of what fans would like to see.

“Cats” wants to be and about something but it just doesn't know what. Like many of Universal's films in the past it is a big swing that inherently doesn't work save for some inspired moments.
