Jeremy of The Daily Rotation wrote, "Scott Waugh‘s Need for Speed is the latest popular video game series to translate over to film with little anticipation, yet enough to make it a worthwhile viewing. Need for Speed is no different than most modern action/car films, simply meaning that it has lots of adrenaline-fueled racing to back its brainless intentions and simple plot. Director Scott Waugh does one thing absolutely right though; he chooses to mostly use real cars and practical effects versus computer-animated CGI effects and the results are impressive and mostly enjoyable."
After a rough start to 2025 with Brave New World, Marvel hopes to strike back with Thunderbolts. Featuring a ragtag group of misfits from previous MCU movies and a new character that’s insanely powerful, Thunderbolts tells the story of damaged people overcoming their trauma to become heroes. RPadTV host Raymond Padilla is joined by videogame industry veterans Paul Semel and Marcus Beer to discuss the movie and see if it lives up to its comic-book tagline of “Justice, Like Lightning.”
The three will discuss what they liked and didn’t like about Thunderbolts, including their favorite performances and scenes, as well as what could have been improved. Early reviews of the movie have been strong and RPadTV’s version of Thunderbolts (The Sparklers?!?) can’t wait to talk about the latest MCU movie with you.
Deeply disappointed that no one yelled, "Thunder! Thunder! Thunderbolts, ho!"
Good conversation otherwise, though.
The director of the new Evil Dead film wants to leave audiences physically exhausted.
Those pesky log trucks return in Final Destination Bloodlines.
