Avengers: Endgame

After the devastating events of "Avengers: Infinity War," the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.

With a Tomatometer Score of 94 percent and an Audience Score of 88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Avengers: Endgame" has garnered plenty of praise since its release on April 26. The Observer's Oliver Jones said, "What you will be getting when you walk into an inevitably overstuffed movie theater is something singular that reflects our age in a way that none of the MCU films that preceded it have-indeed, very few Hollywood spectacles ever have," while Matthew Lickona of the San Diego Reader noted, "The MCU will go on and on, but this chapter - and the American pragmatism vs. American ideals bromance that drove it - have well and truly come to their 'Excelsior! Nuff said!' moment."

Catch it on the big screen at AMC Bellevue 12 (8125 Sawyer Brown Road) through Wednesday, May 29 and Regal Opry Mills IMAX & RPX (570 Opry Mills Drive) through Thursday, May 30. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Brightburn

A child from another world crash-lands on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he is an evil little boy.

Released on Friday, May 24, "Brightburn" has a Tomatometer Score of 58 percent and an Audience Score of 75 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Creepy, gory, awesome fun that's also smart, scary, subversive and massively entertaining," noted Daniel Goodwin of HeyUGuys, while Flickering Myth's Caillou Pettis said, "'Brightburn' is a thrilling and delightfully creepy experience with lots of fun to be had, but often lacks in the department of character development and world-building."

Pokémon Detective Pikachu

In a world where people collect pocket-size monsters (Pokémon) to do battle, a boy comes across an intelligent monster who seeks to be a detective.

With a Tomatometer Score of 66 percent and an Audience Score of 82 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Pokémon Detective Pikachu" is well worth a watch. The Globe and Mail's Daniel Kaszor said, "'Detective Pikachu' is unrelentingly weird," and NPR's Vincent Acovino noted, "There's something admirable about a film that isn't afraid to have some fun with a property so established - and beloved - by its core audience."
