Neeson’s knees hold up in an oddball thriller that’s more interested in smirks than smashing things to smithereens.

A little more anger would not have gone amiss in this well-acted but strangely remote slice of Oscar bait

One of the decade’s most accomplished fantasy sagas signs off with a finale that’s exciting, moving and fabulous to look at.

Impressive VFX and bursts of action can’t mask the fact that this is a tonally confused start for a sci-fi franchise hopeful, made up of scrap parts you’ve seen put to better use elsewhere.

When the sentiment threatens to turn gloopy, Ali and Mortensen’s terrific leads steer Farrelly back on-track.

The sci-fi settings – dystopian grit-scape, rainbow-coloured cosmos – are dazzlers; the satire is playful not snarky; and as you’d expect, several unexpected cameos. It doesn’t sweat too hard to appease both kids and adults – the latter’s pain much felt in a scene you might describe as product mis-placement.

The powerful, vanity-free performances are the real thing in this bittersweet biopic.

A superlative slice of ’70s social realism.

Christian Bale outstrips all his previous transformations.

An uncomfortable fit for the Time's Up era.

Shyamalan concludes his secret trilogy with a film easier to admire than love. McAvoy is terrific again, but Glass doesn’t quite live up to the lofty heights of Unbreakable and Split.

A spiky, pithy, and unconventional delight.

Gently joyous, from soup to nuts. Take your grandparents and they’ll enjoy it as much as you.

A sweet, evocative throwback that delivers all the feels – in the most delightful way.

Overlong, but Momoa’s charisma, plus first-class fishy FX, keep it afloat.

Despite the odd awkward tonal gear shift, Knight’s origin story makes refreshingly light work of its uphill climb, fuelled by wit and warmth. And – crucially – with better songs on the retro-tape deck.

Wildly inventive, unpredictable, and unhinged, Riley’s genre-bender stands out from the comedy pack.

So damn charming it makes your heart twinkle like Redford's eyes.

A joyful, trippy new incarnation of Spider-Man that you didn’t know you needed, brimming with wit, soul and jaw-dropping visuals.

Ronan is the monarch of the lens in this feisty, feminist royal biopic, which favours queenly clashes over battlefield action.

Blow for blow Creed 2 is a closer match for its heavyweight predecessors than anyone dared hope. Transparently formulaic at times – but boy will it get your blood pumping.

A so-so sequel enlivened by a few inspired moments. Ralph and Vanellope are still good company, but this concept might have worked better as a series of shorts.

Rowling’s universe just got bigger and more complex, but Yates never forgets to sprinkle stardust on top.

A heist movie with serious bite, Widows is both brilliantly tense and strikingly relevant.

This latest Millennium movie smooths out the series’ earlier quirks. But there’s action galore and Foy makes a poised, dangerous heroine.

An all-too-familiar story is told with empathy and vigour in a film arguing for tolerance, activism and change.

Definitely not Killer Queen, but thanks to a blinding turn from Malek, fans of the band will get their kicks.

Fleischer made a better comedy-horror with Zombieland, but Venom’s a decent buddy actioner. You might even laugh your head off.
