Yet, somehow, Top Gun: Maverick soars and is one of the best action movies I've seen in recent times. It's efficient and compelling with a plot grounded in reality.

Multiversity — Everything Everywhere All at Once Review
Regardless, or irregardless, Everything Everywhere All at Once is a masterpiece. Its title isn't just appropriate for the plot -- it's the method in which the film delivers its story.

The Suicide Squad is revolutionary.
There. I said it.
