Critics Project: Step 2, Week 1

In Edelstein's review of  Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit he sarcastically mocks the movie throughout the entire piece. Struggling with the use of the word "franchise" Edelstein is quick to judge the movie and lack of appeal it has. There seems to be almost no positive feedback about this movie, with the exception of one scene, which is towards the end of the column. Edelstein seems bored of this movie franchise and it lacks a new sense of drama. I haven't seen this movie so I am unable to give my opinion but from this review I don't want to see it. It sounds boring and a typical spy movie. The entire piece is sarcastic and humorous but not to the point where I am overly intrigued.
Here's his review.
