"Whether you want medieval knights beating the snot out of each other in the mud, a hulking monster going apeshit to find his master, or a light animated caper to sit your kids in front of over the long Thanksgiving weekend, November's streaming movies will provide. Below we have five new releases available on the likes of Netflix, HBO Max, and Peacock, plus one not-so-old favorite we can't resist coming back to. We've also thrown in one Thanksgiving-specific recommendation. Happy watching."
"Guillermo del Toro's labor of love has landed on Netflix today, after a few weeks in theaters. Though it was hotly anticipated, we won't beat around the bush: Reviews are mixed, everything looks perhaps a little too bright, the story beats may land a tad flatly. All that said, it's still a work by Guillermo del Toro and thus still worth a close look. Bilge Ebiri praised the monster played by Jacob Elordi in his review, and wrote that GDT packed the movie full with his obsessions: "It feels like the work of a true madman, and that's really the only way anyone should make a movie of Frankenstein.""
"Marvel's latest cinematic outing revives, again, its First Family for the big screen. Now you can watch it on the little screen. The fact that it gets the job done is actually high praise in the MCU's current era of lackluster villains and diminishing returns. But Pedro Pascal stretches, Vanessa Kirby disappears, Eddie from Stranger Things sets himself on fire, and Cousin yells "It's clobberin' tiiiiiiime!" And together they square up against a giant dude with a silly purple hat named Galactus. (Ralph Ineson sounds great, as usual.) Comic-booky!"
November's streaming lineup spans genres and platforms, offering five new releases across Netflix, HBO Max, and Peacock, plus a returning favorite and a Thanksgiving pick. Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein arrives on Netflix to mixed reviews—striking visuals and familiar obsessions contrast with story beats that some find flat, though Jacob Elordi's monster performance received praise. Marvel's Fantastic Four reaches streaming with competent execution, energetic moments, and a comic-book tone despite MCU limitations. Ari Aster's Eddington engages polarized political topics and divided critical response. The slate also includes family-friendly animation and options for holiday viewing, appealing to varied tastes.
