Everyone’s favorite felons are back, and this time, they’ve got company. In the new action-packed chapter from DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed comedy smash about a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying (very, veryhard) to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a new team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls.

Nezha 2

(English Dub)

Release Date:

August 28th 2025

Info:

A rebellious young boy, Ne Zha, is feared by the gods and born to mortal parents with wild, uncontrolled powers. Now he's faced with an ancient force intent on destroying humanity, he must grow up to become the hero the world needs.

Nezha 2 is the highest-grossing animated movie ever and one of China’s biggest blockbuster hits. The English dub features none other than Michelle Yeoh, adding star power to this animated epic.

Official Website:

We already reviewed Nezha 2 (original language) earlier this year. This re-release features an English dub, but the core film remains unchanged — so our original scores still stand.

That said, we’re aiming (no guarantees because of its limited availability) to publish a second opinion (same review page) from a different reviewer to evaluate the dub and how well the voice cast delivers.

The original 1975 blockbuster returns to theaters, bringing the legendary shark thriller that started it all. This suspense-filled classic didn’t just terrify beachgoers — it created the summer blockbuster and launched a franchise that still bites today.

Top 13 3D Movies for Halloween

Happy Halloween ! What are the Top 13 3D Halloween Movies?

Jake Jarvis made this fun list to get you in the spooky holiday spirit . 👻


13. WORLD WAR Z (2013)

A PG-13 Zombie flick starring Brad Pitt that is set in the same universe as the Max Brooks novel. Gary Lane (Brad Pitt) is a globetrotting UN employee who is trying to stop the zombie pandemic. This movie has good 3D and has a fast moving story.


12. THE MAZE (1953)

This movie is about a man who abruptly breaks off his engagement and moves into a inherited castle. The former Fiancée investigates this spooky mystery. I guarantee the ending will surprise you. This movie has some great 3D and is very interesting.


11. IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (1953)

Richard Carlson stars as a schoolteacher and amateur stargazer. Richard witnesses a spaceship crash to earth that he at first believes is a meteorite. This movie has many pop out 3D scenes and it overall has great 3D visuals. 


10. THE MAD MAGICIAN (1954)

This is another 1950’s Vincent Price 3D movie.  This is more or less a black & white cash grab made after House of Wax's success. Regardless this is rousing good show with great 3D.


9. REVENGE OF THE CREATURE (1955)

The only 1950’s 3D movie to get a 3D sequel. This movie isn’t nearly as good as the first movie, but it is still very good film with great 3D.


8. FRANKENWEENIE (2012)

This is a full feature length version of the Tim Burton short of the same name. This storyline is padded, but overall is very enjoyable.


7. DEAD BEFORE DAWN (2012)

This is a low budget zombie movie that is also a comedy. This Zom-Com has great 3D and is very funny. 


6. PARANORMAN (2011)

This is another Laika stop motion masterpiece. This is a great little spooky movie. This is something made for kids that adults will also enjoy.


5. THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (1993)

This is a good 3D conversion of a modern Halloween classic. This movie is directed by Henry Selick, not Tim Burton with an excellent soundtrack.

https://www.3dor2d.com/reviews/nightmare-before-christmas


4. CORALINE (2009)

This is a Henry Selick's adaption of the Neil Gaiman's story. This is a truly great Laika stop motion movie with great 3D. A perfect Halloween film that won't scare the little ones too much.

Read our review for Coraline 3D via the link below:

https://www.3dor2d.com/reviews/coraline-3d


3. DARK COUNTRY (2009)

Thomas Jane stars and directs this quirky mystery thriller. This movie was actually filmed in 3D and it looks great in 3D. This movie has a riveting premise and is well worth hunting up a copy. 


2. THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954)

This movie has the best underwater 3D photography (before Avatar 2 The Way of Water). Overall this is a good 1950’s Universal monster movie.


HONORABLE MENTIONS


1. HOUSE OF WAX (1953)

The first 3D horror movie and the gold standard. This movie made Vincent Price a horror icon. Considered by many to be the greatest 3D movie ever made.
