A faithful mobile port of Red Dead Redemption is officially available now. The sequel to Red Dead Redemp

Sometimes, they actually listen. One thing has been true of Marvel Studios, and that’s the fact they’ve kept their ear to the streets recently and listened to the demands of fans instead of holding firm to whatever their previous plan for a project might’ve been — the latest example of this being Marvel Zombies . The series was as spectacular as it was a bloody, a trek down the R-rated path rarely ever taken by Marvel Studios. And don’t let the lukewarm reviews on Rotten Tom

This sequel goes bigger, louder, crazier, and more mythic than the first film. Samara Weaving returns as Grace, and the sequel expands the world far beyond the Le Domas family into a larger power struggle involving multiple rival families. Ready or Not 2 leans harder into camp, excess, and absurdity than the 2019 original. Samara Weaving remains the movie’s engine. She is the main reason the film works, with Grace again carrying the movie through chaos, violence, and dark

Overall verdict: This looks like one of the stronger mainstream sci-fi films of the year so far: emotional, crowd-pleasing, visually ambitious, and powered by Ryan Gosling’s likability. The biggest caution flag is that not every critic thinks it reaches the depth or originality it aims for. Some see it as moving and exhilarating; others see it as polished but overly familiar.

The Star Wars special editions are back, and possibly for the last time.
