I truly don’t think I can remember a time where I saw a movie that made me feel pretty much every emotional quadrant you can experience while watching a comedy. I went to a late-night showing in an almost full theater, and I've never felt such a wide range of emotions hit so unexpectedly at times—ranging from a Curb Your Enthusiasm style of dry, witty humor to an absolute crazy level of comedy. The sheer amount of wild social situations alone makes this worth a watch. Overall, I came into this completely blind without knowing anything about the premise, and I left exhausted from the wide range of emotions I experienced.

I felt like Supergirl did way more character development for Lobo than it actually did for Supergirl. All in all, it's a good introduction to a new character wrapped around a sub-par movie. Some of the pacing issues became really noticeable throughout the first act, mostly because they rush through a good bit of exposition just to move into the background of the story. I also have to mention that the music sequences seemed completely out of place; especially during the final battle, where the track playing did not feel like it went to the movie I was watching at all. Ultimately, I feel as if this was a very good story, but they asked someone who wasn't completely aligned with the ideas of James Gunn to make it—this would have been amazing if it was actually directed by James Gunn, if you know what I mean.

During the first act, seeing a young Washington had me feeling like this was gonna be a little cheesy, or maybe just not to the level of quality that a biopic for one of our founding fathers deserves. However, the second and third acts kind of prevail as an enjoyable origin story of this young man. I feel like people going into this shouldn’t expect an attachment to wildly accurate history, but more so the telling of a story of a man’s soul and character—which this movie gives to you and then some.

My review of *Scary Movie* (2026): I don’t know much to say about this, but it wasn’t any peak form of cinema—on a scale of one to *Wuthering Heights*, I’ll give it a half of a *Wuthering Heights*. Otherwise, it had a few good laughs, and thankfully it had a short runtime before things got stale.
