Adventure Movies of 2022
2022 Oscar Adventure Genre
An Overview of this year’s Oscar Adventure movies, my recommendations of five of them, plus five more from last year.
Cruella
Cruella (4*) – A delightful diversion with great chemistry between the two Emmas and an interesting story of how movies happen.
Dune
(5 Stars) A stunning sensory experience and quite likely the next Star Wars.
Free Guy
(2.5*) Free Guy – Some good acting can’t quite save this fairly shallow movie.
Luca
(1.5*) Luca is fun for about twenty minutes and then descends into boredom!
No Time to Die
(3.5*) No Time to Die is exactly what you expect from a Bond film. Sixty years after Dr. No, the franchise has changed, but lives on.
Raya and the Last Dragon
(2.0 *) Raya and the Last Dragon is visually stunning, but is going to leave adults rather empty!
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
(3.5*) Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is thrilling and a lot of fun to watch. It also involves a compelling story of family dynamics.
Spider-Man: No Way Home
(4*) Spider Man No Way Home has great visuals but also tells a human-level story. A surprisingly good comic-book movie.
The Mitchells vs the Machines
(0.5*) The Mitchells vs the Machines is quite possibly the worst movie I’ve ever seen and certainly the worst one this year.
