    Pitch Perfect 2
    If you loved Pitch Perfect you’ll find plenty to enjoy here because it’s pretty much exactly the same film, but there’s enough wit and warmth that it feels like a worthwhile sequel.

    Get Hard
    Laughs are few and far between in a comedy that proves the combo of talented performers and an intriguing concept are no guarantee of success. Dispiriting stuff.

    Chappie
    Like its title character, Chappie is stunning to behold and easy to like, but it’s still some way from fully developed.

    Fifty Shades of Grey
    Dakota Johnson is a revelation in an adaptation that’s better than it should have been. But with the sex scenes and the drama lacking the required heat, it’s ultimately unsatisfying.

    Godzilla
    That rare breed of blockbuster that emphasises character over spectacle and slow-burn tension over relentless action sequences, Godzilla rewards patience with strong performances and sparing, spine-tingling set-pieces.

    The Lunchbox
    First-time writer/director Ritesh Batra deserves credit for mining gently captivating drama from a pitch that could have just ended with passive-aggressive Post-its left on the office fridge.

    Captain America: The Winter Soldier
    With a string of gratifying action sequences, and a breakneck pace leavened by a frequently witty script, The Winter Soldier stands alone as a solidly entertaining blockbuster.

    The LEGO Movie
    Ridiculously funny and meticulously detailed, The LEGO Movie is far better than a toy tie-in movie has any right to be. Despite a couple of dips, you’ll be grinning throughout.

    American Hustle
    With the entire cast on their A-game, depths are found in characters that could’ve easily been caricatures.

    The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
    Despite suffering from middle-act wobbles, The Desolation Of Smaug nevertheless delivers rousing action, incredible visuals and one stupendous dragon.

    The Mercy
    Firth is terrific in an unbelievable-but-true tale that charts a course from the ridiculous to the profound.
