I thought Benedict Cumberbatch was a great Dr Strange! I didn't know much about the story line before seeing the movie, and it is fairy standard fare - arrogant surgeon gets injured, the irony of him being the only surgeon good enough to treat such injuries, his hands and therefore livelihood and entire identity are destroyed by the injuries, he ( Read more... )

The Secret Life of PetsI thoroughly enjoyed The Secret Life of Pets, it's so sweet and of course the main characters are *very* close to my own heart (I really, reall want a dog! :( ) I also loved that it was set in New York. I don't think this movie is as good (by that I think I mean adult-focused) as the likes of Shrek or Inside Out, but it's a ( Read more... )

I was determined to enjoy Suicide Squad and so I did. Twice. And I'd watch it again, it's really enjoyable. Is it flawed? OMG, yes! But again with the determination to enjoy it. I'm definitely a glass-half-full viewer when it comes to the DC movies; I really want them to be good and so I forgive them an awful lot ( Read more... )

One line would do it: exactly like the other movies. Personally, I see that as a tremendous plus, I thoroughly enjoyed the other movies. Matt Damon can do no wrong, I love him :-) On the down side, there was less suspense in this one and no love interest so it's not quite as strong as the originals. The computer magic is a bit far fetched, but I'm ( Read more... )

It was good, for a Star Trek movie. I had very low expectations and I wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed the space special effects, although as always some of the fighting scenes were a bit too wooshey for me; I really need to try sitting at the back of the cinema to see if that makes a difference. I enjoyed Captain Kirk and Spock's friendship, and ( Read more... )

I have fallen behind on my movie reviews, so here's a catch-up:

Absolutely Fabulous
It was Ab Fab, it had all of the characters and the usual story lines, but I'm not a big fan of the show so it wasn't a fabulous movie for me. Joanna Lumley was great, and the cameos / mini-parts by all of the British stars were amusing.

GhostbustersI loved it! I ( Read more... )

I haven't seen either of the other Captain America movies, nor have I seen Ant Man so I must admit to feeling a little at sea with the plethora of characters in Captain America: Civil War. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It is the most action-packed, character-packed and story-packed movie I have seen in a very long time, my only ( Read more... )

The Jungle Book is a great story so it's hard not to like the new movie, but I found myself imagining the 1967 original throughout and of course the new version doesn't come close. The specal effects in the Jon Favreu version are amazing, the animals are very realistic and the jungle itself is rich and colourful. It is quite amazing how far the ( Read more... )

This is a difficult movie to review because it was pretty bad, but not as bad as say The Hateful Eight where I wanted to rip my eyeballs out and never watch a movie again. The first 15-30 minutes is a protracted, contrived set-up to try to force us to see how this movie is related to the first; But without the character of Snow White, and with only ( Read more... )
