Superman Wins Big, Street Fighter Goes Wild, & Jurassic Park Stumbles | Ep. 5

The Weekly Reel – Episode 5
July 11th, 2025

This week, The Weekly Reel is packed with franchise fire, critical hits and misses, and a whole lot of movie mayhem. From dinosaurs dominating the box office to James Gunn’s Superman soaring with critics, we break it all down:

Jurassic World: Rebirth
$322M global debut—but is it any good? We saw it, and let’s just say the Rotten Tomatoes score might be too generous…

Dune: Part Three
Denis Villeneuve gears up for the final chapter, bringing in Paul and Chani’s children, IMAX cameras, and possibly some Children of Dune twists.

Street Fighter Returns
A chaotic live-action reboot with a wild cast including Jason Momoa, 50 Cent, and Andrew Schulz. No script. $100M budget. What could go wrong?

Deeper
Tom Cruise goes underwater in a new supernatural thriller from Doug Liman. Think The Abyss meets Mission: Impossible.

Werewulf
Robert Eggers returns with a medieval horror set in 13th-century England—authentic Old English and all.

RIP Michael Madsen
We salute the legendary character actor whose grit defined a generation of crime cinema.

Early Buzz
Superman is finally back—and he's getting rave reviews. Gunn’s take is heartfelt, weird, and full of flying fists.
Abraham’s Boys: A Dracula Story offers moody buildup with a violent payoff.
Sovereign, starring Nick Offerman, is a raw, intense true-crime drama examining the Sovereign Citizen movement and fractured father-son dynamics.
