    People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan
    What really redeems the film are the brilliantly observed characters: these are archetypes of modern Britain that nobody really nailed before. Created by the principal actors themselves, they are generally portrayed with affection rather than condescension, and performed so convincingly that a newcomer might well believe they were real people.

    Deadpool 2
    The movie’s other major weakness is its continued foregrounding of the white guys at the expense of the consciously inclusive cast around them.

    Eternals
    It’s not exactly boring – there’s always something new to behold – but nor it is particularly exciting, and it lacks the breezy wit of Marvel’s best movies. One of the strengths of the MCU to date is how it has taken time to define each character individually and lay out the grand narratives over successive movies, building a sense of momentum. Here, it’s all thrown at us at once.

    Bohemian Rhapsody
    Bohemian Rhapsody honours Mercury the showman but never really gets to Mercury the person.

    The God Committee
    The dialogue is earnestly on-the-nose, and there is little in the way of visual excitement in what’s essentially a static board meeting (the story was adapted from a stage play).

    Sonic the Hedgehog
    Like its fast-moving, attention-deficient hero, this just feels like a rush job.

    HAIKYU!! The Dumpster Battle
    This is the second highest-grossing movie of the year in Japan, but unless you’re a teenager, an anime junkie or really, really care about volleyball, you’re unlikely to get much out of it.
