BOFCA REVIEW ROUND-UP: 06/10/2016

3067950-img1WARCRAFT

“Too compelling in its misbegotten grandeur to be dismissed, too grim and determined of its own importance to be called a farce; the only fair description of WARCRAFT is a tragedy.” – Bob Chipman, MovieBob

“By the time the credit roll, you feel as though you’ve just watched half a season of some sort of bargain basement fantasy-action cable series.” – Kilian Melloy, Edge Boston

 

MK1_4047.dngTHE CONJURING 2

“…for those seeking some summer thrills and chills without rivers of blood and gore, THE CONJURING 2 is a solid successor to the original.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“The film is a blast as a funhouse-style genre exercise, but there’s very little holding it all together.” – Andy Crump, Paste Magazine

“In spite of the clear issues, James Wan and the gang ultimately succeed by being able to conjure up some entertainment by allowing this sequel to do what sequels are known to do.” – Jaskee Hickman, Cinematic Essential

 

now-you-see-me-2-_0NOW YOU SEE ME 2

“No one will confuse NOW YOU SEE ME 2 for an art film. It is, however, damn good entertainment.” – Daniel M. Kimmel, North Shore Movies

“Who’d have thunk they could have pulled a terrific sequel out of the surprise hit that was the original?” – Joyce Kulhawik, Joyce’s Choices

“It’s all harmless enough, I guess. Also pointless and more than a little bit strained.” – Sean Burns, Spliced Personality
