Ten 2025 Movies Summarised in Ten Words Each

This usually-biannual format of lightning-quick movie reviews has been going on for eight years now, but not since the very first one all the way back in 2017 have I been able to say that I saw all ten of the films on the page in actual cinemas. Perhaps due to all the bountiful writing material surrounding Nintendo Switch 2 hysteria, I had the luxury of taking my time to get this first batch out, so I didn’t have to jump on any streaming-only releases just to make March or April. Of course if there was a major streaming release with buzz around it that would have been a different story, but here we are.

We’ve got bountiful action, a couple of thrillers, a notably coherent Marvel comeback push, more than one runtime epic, and even a bit of horror sprinkled into this group of films – and the year is only just getting started!
