| | | 'Stranger Things' plays the too-long game in its super-sized season finale | | Jul 1, 2022 | | "Stranger Things" has taken the idea of playing the long game to heart a bit too literally, capping its super-sized fourth season with two sprawling episodes that total nearly four hours. Whether that's a reward to fans or self-indulgence by the producers rests in the eye of the beholder, but after this, it's hard to imagine many concluding that ending things with season five qualifies as premature. | | | | | 'The Princess' can't quite rescue itself from a violent, definitely not-Disney movie | | Jul 1, 2022 | | For anyone wondering why "The Princess" is premiering on Hulu in the US, not sister service Disney+, the movie answers that in the first five minutes, when the title character brutally dispatches a pair of guards sent into the tower where she's being held. While the timing seems right for a princess who rescues herself, there's precious little substance to this violent fantasy, featuring Joey King figuratively letting down her hair. | | | | | 'The Terminal List' strands Chris Pratt in a dead-end series as a different kind of avenger | | Jul 1, 2022 | | Amazon has flexed its muscles with military-style action series (see "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" and "Reacher"), but "The Terminal List" adds a numbingly simple-minded revenge saga to that subgenre. Despite the promotional benefits of featuring star-producer Chris Pratt as a grittier kind of avenger, this brutal eight-episode slog squanders its talent in front of and behind the camera. | | | | | | | |
