'She-Hulk': Three Marvel movies (and one TV show) to revisit before starting the series
“She-Hulk,” like most of Marvel’s Disney+ shows, is designed so that new viewers can jump right in – it’ll catch you up on anything you need to know about the MCU. But if you’re looking to do a little Marvel rewatching before the series premieres, here’s what we’d recommend based on the first four episodes of “She-Hulk” screened for critics.

‘The Princess’ review: HBO’s new documentary revisits Princess Diana’s life

‘13: The Musical’ review: Broadway magic gets lost in Netflix translation
Jason Robert Brown’s musical “13” came with a ready-made hook: It was the first (and so far, the only) Broadway musical to be performed entirely by teenagers — right down to the band. That juiced up its simple story of middle school drama with some endearing, energetic novelty value. Yet while Netflix’s new adaptation of the 2008 stage show keeps the talented tweens, it loses most of its magic in translation.

Watch at home: ‘Elvis’ is an epic, gaudy biopic fit for a king
With "Elvis," the absurdity is part of the point. It’s important to know that going in, otherwise the film’s frenetic opening act might be completely off-putting instead of just mildly overwhelming. Having established his signature glittering style with movies like "William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet," "Moulin Rouge!" and "The Great Gatsby," director Baz Luhrmann now turns his camp-flavored maximalism to the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley. And while the result is profoundly uneven, the highs are too high (and too outrageous) to be missed.
‘Uncharted’ is #1 on Netflix, but is it any good?
If "Uncharted" was a treasure chest, here’s the assorted loot you’d find inside: Two slam-bang action set-pieces, some lackluster plotting, a charming leading man turn from Tom Holland, an ensemble of wasted supporting players and a woefully miscast Mark Wahlberg. Does that add up to a hidden treasure or a disappointing haul? Well, that lies in the eyes of the fortune hunter.
