After two months of little to no movies, the month that was promised is finally here. And with it comes two of the most anticipated films of 2021- Zack Snyder’s Justice League and Godzilla VS. Kong.
But asides from live-action Titans and Superheroes fighting to the death, March 2021 also brings Animated Titans and Superheroes fighting to the death, as well as a compelling Spy drama and even a new Marvel TV Series.
And so, here’s What to Watch in March 2021:
1. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (March 4th)
Where to Watch:
Watch On Prime Video (Free With Subcription)
Watch On Apple TV (Free With Subcription)Synopsis: When SpongeBob’s beloved pet snail Gary goes missing, he and Patrick embark on an epic adventure to The Lost City of Atlantic City to bring Gary home.
2. Pacific Rim: The Black Season 1 (March 4th)
Where to Watch:
Watch On Netflix (Subscription)Synopsis: After a Kaiju attack ravages Australia, two siblings pilot a Jaeger to search for their parents, encountering new creatures, seedy characters, and chance allies.
Review: Pacific Rim: The black is a decent animation that brilliantly expands the Pacific Rim universe and even builds on the events from the 2018 Uprising Movie.
With each episode running for only 20 minutes, the animated series never overstays its welcome, but instead uses every moment to immerse you into its world, as well as the lives of its amazing characters.
Even if you haven’t followed the franchise until now, the show does its best to catch you up on important events so that you can keep up with its story.
Why You Should Watch: Short episodes, Good Storytelling, Interesting Characters.
Why You Might Skip: No Reason to Skip
3. Raya and The Last Dragon (March 5th)
Where to Watch:
Watch On Disney Plus(Subscription)Synopsis: Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans, and dragons lived together in harmony. But when sinister monsters known as the Druun threatened the land, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save humanity.
Now, 500 years later, those same monsters have returned, and it’s up to a lone warrior, Raya, to track down the last dragon in order to finally stop the Druun for good.
Review: Raya and the Last Dragon is the perfect blend of Action, Emotional drama, and Hilarious comedy(And its soundtrack is amazing). While its core story focuses on strength through trust and unity, the animated movie is also a cautionary tale about greed and isolation. Read Our Full Review
Why You Should Watch: Great Storyline, Mesmerizing Soundtrack, Decent Action Scenes.
Why You Might Skip: Predictable Ending
4. Coming 2 America (March 5th)
Where to Watch:
Synopsis: After learning that he has a long-lost son in the United States, Coming 2 America sees the newly minted king of Zamunda, Akeem, return to America to meet this unexpected heir and build a relationship with his son.
Review: Does Coming 2 America have a lazy and predictable storyline that heavily relies on the first movie to justify its existence? Yes, yes, it does. However, the film also works as a pleasant “turn off your brain and go with it” movie. Perfect for when there’s nothing else to watch on tv.
Why You Should Watch: Funny and Nostalgic
Why You Might Skip: Terrible Script, Predictable Storyline
5. Cherry (March 12th)

Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. But despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes, it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Review: Though it’s not perfect, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is the superhero team-up movie we should have gotten in 2017, and it’s definitely the movie DC Fans needed now. The film strikes a good balance between fan service and proper storytelling and gives one of the strongest depictions of these beloved DC characters. Read Our Full Review

Review:
With Just four episodes, Invincible has already proven to be an interesting superhero series with great characters and an even better soundtrack.
While the show starts out innocent and predictable, it quickly drops its mask to reveal a more bloody, realistic, and mysterious storyline. Needless to say, this show is definitely not for kids. Find Out Five More Reasons Why You Should Amazon Prime’s Invincible.
