We could be looking at one of, if not the best video game movie ever made, as the unorthodox documentary Grand Theft Hamlet impresses critics far more than anyone likely anticipated. Telling the story of Sam Crane and Mark Oosterveen as they attempt to cast and produce a version of William Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" within the virtual world of Grand Theft Auto Online, Grand Theft Hamlet is now “certified fresh” with a hugely impressive score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Reviews have praised the unique cinematic undertaking, with William Bibbiani of TheWrap disappointed that Grand Theft Hamlet didn’t go on longer.

“If there is one disappointing element of this moving, amusing, sad and memorable film it’s that it isn’t five hours long.”

Grand Theft Hamlet premiered at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival, winning the Jury Award for best documentary feature. The movie is now available to stream on the streaming platform Mubi,...

Madame Web tries to be a Spider-Man film but fails to capture the essence of the character despite its cast and visual cues. The chemistry among the cast members in Madame Web is lacking, leaving the dynamic between the heroes and villains unconvincing. Madame Web fails to inject life into Sony's Spider-Man Universe and may negatively impact the future of the franchise.

Reviews for the 2024 Mean Girls movie musical are mixed but trending negative. The movie has received criticism for its "heightened sexualization" and its inability to tap into modern-day technology or social norms. The stars of the movie have largely been praised, particularly Renee Rapp's performance as queen bee Regina George.

Reviews are in for the musical update of Mean Girls. The new movie is based on the 2018 Broadway production, which was co-written by Tina Fey based on her 2004 teen comedy classic of the same name, which itself was inspired by the nonfiction book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman. The cast of the new movie includes Spider-Man: Far From Home's Angourie Rice as Cady Heron, The Sex Lives of College Girls' Reneé Rapp as Regina George, Moana's Auliʻi Cravalho as Janis 'Imi'ike, and The Summer I Turned Pretty's Christopher Briney as Aaron Samuels.
