Interesting premise. A few chuckles but the plot, themes and humor lack depth.

Not bad ideas but clumsy plotting.

Tight with good pacing, moderately dark, strong characters, decent plot and solid action. Surprisingly good.

Another classic mecha anime. Strong characters, emotionally charged. Truly cinematic execution.

Brave premise with a lone grieving turtle on his quest for retribution. Generally well-written. Good pacing. Dark. Captivating.

Mecha design and action generally look great. Decent pacing. That’s about it. Cardboard characters made worse with Netflix being woke.

Classic sci-fi military mecha anime. Good worldbuilding and decent pacing for its time. Entertaining even if it is a merchandising tool.

Attempts to be in the spirit of the original. It does have the look and feel. Not brilliant but still moderately engaging and entertaining.

Moderately funny but can be dark and serious in parts. Measured and balanced in most respects. Entertaining.

Interesting 22nd-century sci-fi police/anti-terrorist action that touches on many themes even if it doesn’t explore them in depth.

It is not a shoot ’em up. Either way, could use more action and plotting lacks refinement.

Simple action-comedy. Nicely executed and entertaining.

Mildly entertaining but meh.

Overly simplistic plot and themes, lacks style, but is otherwise not a bad lighthearted action film despite the serious subject matter.

Good production. Mostly well-paced story in the spirit of the first two films even if it has a few problems. Dark and gloomy.

Classic mecha anime. Excellent visuals and sound. Focuses on characters and their relationships.

Tries too hard with the action and gore, but an acceptable conclusion. Overall, meh.

Moderately dark and comical. Both the black comedy and action are very measured. Solid film in every respect with decent pacing.

Implausible plot progression. Constant action with decent cast and performances can’t save it.

Solid writing, performances and production. Tight plotting. Surprisingly good, even if one doesn’t like the genre.

Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.
