Ant-Man and the Wasp – Review
How could you follow Infinity War?! It’s too light and formulaic and lacks a real villain, but Ant-Man and the Wasp is still a fun breath of fresh air.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout – Review
TL;DR Intricate, captivating plot Occasionally feels like the mission may be “impossible” – finally! Hints at current fears in society but doesn’t really get to the heart of them Incredible fight scenes and stand-out stunts Wonderful cast, each character bringing something special to the film Rebecca Ferguson and Vanessa Kirby underused Proof that these films […]
Incredibles 2 – Review
Incredibles 2 is just as enjoyable as the first. Though it may lack the bold heart and strong messages of the first, the characters are out on full force, kicking ass and making audiences laugh in style. This is the sequel we wanted – able to stand proudly amongst other superhero films that have come out in the meantime.
Ocean’s Eight – Review
It doesn’t beat the original Ocean’s film, does little to surprise us or shake things up (other than an all-female group) and is too easy-going. But it’s enjoyable with comic moments, some nice characters and nods to the original – and it’s a refreshing joy to see a female-dominated cast in a film for everyone.
Hereditary – Review
This has everything you could want from a sophisticated horror – enough jump-scares to keep it entertaining, an eternal sense of discomfort and dread, shocking twists, a constant mystery and a terrifying climax – and all this from a feature-length directorial debut.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – Review
Not quite as exciting as the first, without a clearly defined antagonist or particularly terrifying monster… but we still love dinosaurs and asking the question “what if…?” More a stepping stone to a probably more exciting third film, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is still an enjoyable enough film to keep us going.
Solo: A Star Wars Story – Review
This is no Empire Strikes Back or Force Awakens, nor does it have a distinct personality like Rogue One. But it’s a joy seeing younger versions of these characters for a fun adventure. Nothing sets it apart and a bit too much is crammed in, but it’s a solid adventure in a galaxy far, far away that will keep us happy until Episode IX…
Deadpool 2 – Review
Anyone who enjoyed the first film is guaranteed to enjoy the second. Everything that we liked from the former returns, this time bigger and better: more story, more characters, more action, more laughs, more heart – think Avengers was the only excellent superhero film this year? Think again.
Avengers: Infinity War – Review
With terrific character interactions, hilarious comedy, sublime action and a bold ending that’s sure to shock – it’s all perfect. If the next Avengers film is anything like Infinity War we’re in for another incredible treat. A splendid and monumental achievement.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society – Review
The story and writing are enjoyable and the cast really sell it. While it may be ultimately unremarkable, it’s nevertheless perfectly pleasant. An ideal film to watch with your feet up on a lazy Sunday afternoon with the whole family.
