Lyrical in style and presentation, this drama alludes to serious issues but does not address them. Enjoyable stylistically, but not substantiated beyond glossy advertisement.

Bond without the style and Team America without the bellylaughs. The moronic script and nonsensical plot are good for a snicker, though.

Plenty of pungent ideas and a nice line in urban terror. The final product falls short of the best in Brit horror, though.

Zoinks! The Great Dane’s big-screen return has murderous robot bowling pins, escapades in abandoned amusement parks and exciting airborne chase sequences — but nowhere near the joke-rate an enduring character like Scoob demands.

It looks fantastic, Gru is still loveable, and smaller viewers will be engaged enough. But Despicable Me 4 stalls in its overstuffed plot and its lack of an interesting narrative.

A few memorable scenes but this doesn't keep up the pace or plausability sufficiently.

Poor remake of the Korean thriller.

If this ‘power corrupts’ potboiler had been made in the 1990s — with, say, Andy Garcia, Gene Hackman and Kim Basinger — it would already have felt old-fashioned. Forget it, Jake, it’s no "Chinatown."

Like all Meyers’ films, it’s more about interior design porn than real human emotions and drags on for far too long. Still, Streep, Krasinski and Baldwin are so good, they almost make it work. Almost.

Unoriginal, unfunny superhero spoof with a bewildered cast and an obvious plot.

It’s a different kind of Tomb Raider, certainly. But for an adventure film, it’s disconcertingly dull.

Hampered by a script that fails to make the central love affair work and few new ideas while they’re stranded at sea, even the best efforts of its talented lead pair can’t keep this afloat.

In the absence of any genuine emotional wallop, it is the directorial pizzazz that pulls you through. Just about.

A fable that leaves us unenlightened at the end, it is a curious, worthy failure.

Fun musical numbers and cartoonish humour give way to a bland sermon about the evils of the music industry.

Never magical, this hotchpotch of colourful, unrelated snippets is certainly a mystery.

Fleeting charm and pretty packaging will leave you partially satisfied but later craving a bolder film that puts its battle-worn title character to better use.

Visual inventiveness and spectacular casting can’t quite salvage a muddled fantasy epic that, if it were a magic mirror, would be held together with gaffer tape.

Even by the less-than-stressful standards of filmmaking for kids, this is disappointingly by-the-numbers effort.

Though Farrell does great work and the film is a visual feast, Ballad Of A Small Player is an impenetrable story of redemption that’s both too obvious and too baffling.

Lacking the bite of "Attack The Block," Stiller and co. are happy to fall back on their usual shtick, with director Schaffer providing barely enough juice to power the laughs.

Boasting more star power than all the Anacondas put together, but noticeably fewer laughs, what could have been a fresh take on familiar material ends up a regurgitated mess.

Cleaner has good people behind it but this British attempt at a Die Hard ends up just being a bit of a mess. Yippee-ki-nay.

The chief horror here is the cliffhanger promising a third instalment.

Despite some choice improvisations, we're given no running gag as endearing as the first film.

Despite the gusto its star brings to the role, it's hard to ride shotgun on Hector's voyage of discovery.

Moore just looks confused. He obviously wants to do his thing then hit the bar for cocktails, but John Glen is nagging him to add a roughness to the slick exterior. Equally, it just doesn’t fit. The news is clear, there’s only so far you can push a Bond before it breaks.

With Almodovar's early work, it was all about extravagance with his later work such as Talk to Her and Bad Education aiming more for the intellectuals. It's a surprise, then that this film lacks both the flamboyancy of his earlier work and the depth of his latter, landing somewhere unsatisfactorily in the middle.
