Review in Brief: Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

Posted on September 3, 2019 by

Well you can’t accuse anybody working on this of just doing the same thing twice. PACIFIC RIM: UPRISING might be even dumber than the first film, which was Guillermo del Toro valiantly attempting to get something with thematic substance out … Continue reading →

Review: Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw (2019)

Posted on August 23, 2019 by

I came to the FAST & FURIOUS franchise in time for FAST FIVE, when any pretence about the series being about cars and street racing anymore went up in a bloom of ignited fuel. Since then we’ve had 2 very … Continue reading →

Review: X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)

Posted on June 22, 2019 by

I’ve already forgotten most of APOCALYPSE, though I do for some reason remember Michael Fassbender floating in the air, looking bored and not saying anything for half an hour. I also recall the apparent finality of the ending, with the … Continue reading →

A Few Thoughts More: Endgame

Posted on May 23, 2019 by

The following piece contains major spoilers for AVENGERS: ENDGAME. Alright, are we all caught up? OK then. Endgame is one of those particularly difficult movies to wax lyrical about (and I intend to) without talking about the specific things you … Continue reading →

Review in Brief: The Wandering Earth (2019)

Posted on May 9, 2019 by

THE WANDERING EARTH either needed to be a lot smarter or a little bit dumber to really land. It’s fascinating to see China enter the international blockbuster arena in earnest with the killer premise of building monolithic engines on the … Continue reading →

Review: Shazam! (2019)

Posted on April 11, 2019 by

SHAZAM! is a breath of fresh air. Not because it’s the first really good DC comics movie this decade (step forward WONDER WOMAN) or the first fun DC comics movie this decade (take a bow AQUAMAN) but because it’s the … Continue reading →

Review: Captain Marvel (2019)

Posted on March 15, 2019 by

It only took Marvel 21 movies. Now she’s finally taken flight. CAPTAIN MARVEL like GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY before it, could be the first stage of a colourful cosmic journey for the superhero superfactory. An encounter with shapeshifting Skrull foes … Continue reading →

Review: Bumblebee (2018)

Posted on January 12, 2019 by

Finally, a decent TRANSFORMERS movie. Was that really so hard? Something you should know about me is that I’m a Transformers guy, that next to STAR WARS it’s the franchise of my childhood (one day I’ll post my BEAST WARS … Continue reading →

Review: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (2018)

Posted on November 23, 2018 by

JK Rowling is just making this nonsense up as she goes along isn’t she? If that makes me sound like I’m anti-Potter, nothing could be further from the truth. As a 90s kid I devoured Rowling’s books and I see … Continue reading →
