Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
9/10 78% Iron Man 3 (2013) " [The film] expertly melds action, comedy and drama to become the finest Iron Man movie yet." — IGN Movies
Posted Apr 24, 2013
6.6/10 55% Oblivion (2013) " While a noble effort in terms of scale and ambition, Oblivion entertains only sporadically. There's a great film somewhere in there, but this isn't it." — IGN Movies
Posted Apr 18, 2013
9/10 62% Evil Dead (2013) " While it doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel, this new take on the Evil Dead is every bit as good as Sam Raimi's originals, and praise doesn't get much higher than that." — IGN Movies
Posted Mar 11, 2013
6.2/10 15% A Good Day To Die Hard (2013) " While it may not be time for McClane to hang up his vest just yet, the formula is starting to seem tired, and it feels like the end might be approaching for this particular franchise." — IGN Movies
Posted Feb 13, 2013
60% John Dies at the End (2013) " When it works, however, it's a gripping thrill-ride that also serves as a timely reminder of the unique talents of Don Coscarelli, one of our most interesting filmmakers, and one who can't be allowed to go another 10 years between features." — IGN Movies
Posted Jan 4, 2013
6/10 50% Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012) " An entertaining Universal Soldier movie that dares to try something different." — IGN Movies
Posted Nov 30, 2012
5.5/10 13% Red Dawn (2012) " The Red Dawn remake has sat on the shelf for two years, and maybe it should have stayed there." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Nov 20, 2012
4.5/10 6% Silent Hill: Revelation (2012) " Silent Hill Revelation 3D is an inferior sequel in every way, shape and form, a horror sequel that fails to either intrigue or scare, and one that just might have killed the franchise cold-dead." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Oct 26, 2012
25% Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) " The film does deliver on scares, and at a time when so few Hollywood horrors succeed on that front, we should grateful for the consistency of the Paranormal Activity films." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Sep 27, 2012
4/5 93% Indie Game: The Movie (2012) " Indie Game provides a gripping and consistently entertaining insight into this unique sub-set of the games industry." — IGN Movies
Posted May 29, 2012
4/5 63% Sinister (2012) " While Sinister is hardly a game-changer, it is an extremely effective horror feature; one that creates its own highly original mythology, and wholeheartedly terrifies from start-to-finish." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Mar 13, 2012
4/5 85% 21 Jump Street (2012) " A smart and immensely entertaining comedy that announces the somewhat surprising arrival of a serious comic talent in the shape of Channing Tatum." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Mar 6, 2012
3/5 82% Goon (2012) " Goon is a surprise on pretty much all fronts, following the story beats you'd expect of a film of this genre, yet delivering them in an enjoyably unusual and offbeat manner. " — IGN Movies UK
Posted Feb 24, 2012
3/5 75% The Adventures of Tintin (2011) " While this may not be the perfect Tintin adaptation, it's nevertheless an entertaining one; a film that honours the charm and spirit of the books, and one that should please fans and newcomers alike. " — IGN Movies UK
Posted Oct 18, 2011
4/5 68% Paranormal Activity 3 (2011) " While it lacks the narrative cohesion of its predecessors, it surpasses them in terms of tension and scares." — IGN Movies
Posted Sep 30, 2011
4/5 96% Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011) " It's with a heavy heart that we say good-bye to Harry Potter, but in crafting what may well be the best blockbuster of the season, the boy wizard has gone out with a suitably spellbinding bang, and one that will leave a lasting impression on cinemagoers." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Jul 12, 2011
2.5/5 33% Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011) " One can't help but feel that the Disney-Depp partnership has taken the series as far as it can go in this form, and short of a large-scale overhaul of the franchise, it may be best to set these particular Pirates adrift for good." — IGN Movies
Posted May 16, 2011
3/5 61% The Beaver (2011) " If you take [Gibson's] performance on its own merits, it's one of the finest of his career; touching, terrifying and admirably understated throughout. " — IGN Movies
Posted May 2, 2011
2.5/5 90% Bridesmaids (2011) " It's funny stuff, with Wiig's talent for physical comedy and way with a witty put-down providing many of the film's highlights." — IGN Movies
Posted Mar 25, 2011
3/5 79% Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 (2010) " While it's by no means a bad Harry Potter movie, the overriding feeling is that it's an incomplete one. Here's hoping that Yates and his team put that right next summer." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Nov 11, 2010
4/5 72% Red (2010) " Red is long, predictable, derivative, and without doubt one of the most entertaining experiences to be had in a cinema this year." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Oct 4, 2010
3.5/5 63% Predators (2010) " Let's be honest: you see a Predator movie for the bone-crunching battles between alien and man, and on that front, Antal's film delivers in spades, with blood spilled, spines split and heads separated from bodies at regular intervals." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Jul 8, 2010
3/5 35% Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) " While it's beautifully shot, well performed and undoubtedly fun to watch, it all feels somewhat soulless; calculated to tick every blockbuster box rather than to create something new and original." — IGN Movies UK
Posted May 20, 2010
2/5 57% Cemetery Junction (2010) " This tale has been told so many times that it demands a spark of invention or originality to spice things up, but Cemetery Junction sticks slavishly to story conventions, with nothing new or imaginative to say about the subject." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Apr 15, 2010
3.5/5 28% Clash of the Titans (2010) " It's loud, brash, brutal stuff on a scale hitherto unseen onscreen..." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Apr 1, 2010
3/5 47% MacGruber (2010) " When the film is funny, it's very funny." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Mar 22, 2010
5/5 76% Kick-Ass (2010) " You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll squeal in delight at the outrageous behaviour of a little girl in a purple cape. But most of all, you'll wish that all superhero movies were like this." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Mar 15, 2010
2/5 51% Alice in Wonderland (2010) " Suffering from a severe deficiency of wonder, this Alice is by turns loud, lifeless and lacklustre, and so what should have been the perfect marriage of moviemaker and material instead does justice to neither." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Mar 2, 2010
3.5/5 67% Daybreakers (2010) " A gripping feature that is just as likely to provoke thought as it is fear." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Jan 8, 2010
3.5/5 70% Sherlock Holmes (2009) " Sherlock Holmes is never less than entertaining throughout however, and the marvellous chemistry between the leads practically demands a sequel." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Jan 5, 2010
2/5 39% 2012 (2009) " It feels about 2012 minutes too long, a bloated epic that outstays its welcome long before the credits have rolled." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Nov 13, 2009
2.5 93% Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) " Dahl aficionados will be disappointed at the Americanisation of it all, while Anderson fans will doubtless grow tired of the predictable nature of proceedings." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Oct 23, 2009
1/5 7% Whiteout (2009) " The sub-standard work from everyone involved means that Whiteout is very much a missed opportunity that undoubtedly would have been better left on the comic book page." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Sep 11, 2009
3/5 34% G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) " In spite of many misgivings, including ropey CGI, convoluted storytelling and a smattering of horribly over-the-top performances, G.I. Joe is a blast from start-to-finish." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Aug 4, 2009
4/5 84% Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) " It doesn't reach the magical heights of Alfonso Cuaron's truly spellbinding Prisoner of Azkaban, but Yates is fast approaching that territory, which bodes well for his helming of the final instalments." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Jul 10, 2009
4/5 67% BrĂ¼no (2009) " May be the funniest film of the year thus far, but it doesn't come close to reaching the comedic heights of his previous effort, Borat." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Jul 7, 2009
2/5 64% The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) " With clumsy dialogue, poor plotting and some downright terrible performances, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a huge disappointment for any fan of Terry Gilliam's work." — IGN Movies UK
Posted May 22, 2009
3.5/5 88% Inglourious Basterds (2009) " An entertaining yet uneven movie that provides comedy, drama and some interesting psychological twists and turns, but never quite delivers on that 'men on a mission' promise." — IGN Movies UK
Posted May 20, 2009
4/5 100% Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation (2003) " Given that copyright wrangles mean it may never get released, Adaptation is a covetable, Indy-worthy treasure in its own right." — IGN Movies UK
Posted May 13, 2009
5/5 98% Up (2009) " A near perfect feature, a thrilling combination of humour, pathos, action and drama. Utterly original, endlessly inventive, and brilliantly crafted to appeal to old and young alike, it may well be Pixar's finest feature yet." — IGN Movies UK
Posted May 13, 2009
3.5/5 38% Outlander (2009) " An excellent creature feature. A B movie in the best sense of the word, Outlander could teach many of the so-called summer blockbusters a thing or two about character, story and performance." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Apr 24, 2009
3.5/5 64% Crank 2: High Voltage (2009) " The Stath is pretty much the most bankable name in action movies today, and his unhinged work in High Voltage, indulging in an explosion of murder and mayhem with gusto and glee, should certainly see him retain that title." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Apr 17, 2009
4.5/5 92% Drag Me to Hell (2009) " It's a visceral assault on the senses and will have you gasping for breath as the laughs and scares mount. Raimi directs with the confidence and flair of a genre master." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Mar 28, 2009
3.5/5 94% The Damned United (2009) " An incredibly entertaining 95 minutes spent in the company of one of the game's most interesting characters, and a testament to the way in which friendship can save us in our darkest hour." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Mar 28, 2009
98% Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009) " A truly uplifting 80 minutes of film, you owe it to yourselves to check out The Story of Anvil, and you then owe it to the band to buy their albums and help put them back where they belong - at the summit of mount metal." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Feb 19, 2009
3/5 83% Tropic Thunder (2008) " The first hour of the film has an energy and wit that makes it a joy to behold, but as Stiller tries to tie it all together into a cohesive hole, the humour drains from the piece, and it all becomes a little tiresome." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Sep 19, 2008
4/5 83% Heavy Metal in Baghdad (2008) " Heavy Metal in Baghdad is one of those sneaky documentaries that starts out a light-hearted look at a semi-serious subject, and then suddenly turns into something far more moving and profound." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Sep 12, 2008
4/5 59% RocknRolla (2008) " He's hardly re-inventing the wheel with this movie, but RocknRolla is nonetheless a comedy thriller that is every bit as accomplished as his early work, and without doubt an witty, adrenalin-fuelled blast from start to finish." — IGN Movies UK
Posted Sep 5, 2008
4.5/5 100% Man on Wire (2008) " It's an incredible story, and in Man on Wire, Marsh has made a documentary that's worthy of his walk." — IGN Movies UK
