Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019) 51% 3/5 EDIT “The Rise Of Skywalker is a mostly satisfying spectacle -- it's fun, entertaining, visually dazzling and, yes, emotional in parts, too. But as the grand finale of the Skywalker Saga, it falls somewhat short of the mark.” – Den of Geek Dec 18, 2019 Full Review Knives Out (2019) 97% 5/5 EDIT “With an energised Johnson orchestrating an enthusiastic group of actors and a crew that's acing it on almost every level, it seems like cutting loose was exactly the right road to take.” – Den of Geek Dec 2, 2019 Full Review Frozen II (2019) 77% 4/5 EDIT “Frozen 2 had some mighty big snow boots to fill, and it mostly manages it with bags of style, charm and positive messages.” – Den of Geek Nov 25, 2019 Full Review Ford v Ferrari (2019) 92% 4/5 EDIT “It's an energetic effort from one of the most underrated and consistent directors working today -- it might not end up nabbing Mangold any trophies, but it's a winning addition to his already impressive achievements.” – Den of Geek Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Does the film as a whole match the giddy heights of James Cameron's first two chapters? The short answer is no. But is it the best Terminator sequel since Judgment Day? Granted, the competition hasn't exactly been fierce, but yes, yes it is.” – Den of Geek Oct 23, 2019 Full Review Joker (2019) 68% 4/5 EDIT “The movie as a whole doesn't quite match up to the brilliance of Phoenix's powerhouse performance. Still, it's not far off: thrilling and unsettling in equal measure, Joker is a film that thrives on the edge -- and that's what makes it so compelling.” – Den of Geek Sep 27, 2019 Full Review Ad Astra (2019) 83% 4/5 EDIT “This is laudable stuff: clever sci-fi that's chock-full of big ideas and human drama, painted on a huge canvas with every artistic department firing on all cylinders. Never mind to the stars -- get thee to a cinema.” – Den of Geek Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw (2019) 67% 4/5 EDIT “It's a proper, unashamed action blockbuster that more than lives up to its brilliantly bonkers Japanese title Wild Speed: Super Combo, and it has a much bigger sense of humour than previous outings, too. Put simply, it's a hell of a lot of fun.” – Den of Geek Aug 1, 2019 Full Review The Lion King (2019) 52% 3/5 EDIT “This new Lion King is still enjoyable -- especially for those who are new to the story -- and its staggering visual achievements should rightly be celebrated. But for anyone who's seen and loved the original animation, it inevitably suffers by comparison.” – Den of Geek Jul 15, 2019 Full Review Brightburn (2019) 57% 3/5 EDIT “The film doesn't quite deliver on its potential. But as a pacey, gruesome horror romp that'll have you wincing in all the right places, Brightburn just about takes flight.” – Den of Geek Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Aladdin (2019) 57% 3/5 EDIT “Although Ritchie's film hews extremely close to the colourful aesthetics of Disney's classic 'toon, as well as hitting all the same story beats, it does at least attempt to freshen things up.” – Den of Geek May 22, 2019 Full Review John Wick: Chapter 3 -- Parabellum (2019) 89% 4/5 EDIT “The film incredibly manages to up the action ante -- no mean feat given the blistering set-pieces of the first two films -- and dishes up a series of increasingly jaw-dropping stunts that are, as always, captured operatically.” – Den of Geek May 16, 2019 Full Review Interstellar (2014) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Nolan reaches for the stars in spectacular fashion, delivering a mesmerising sci-fi epic that, despite a testing running time and few too many flights of fancy, is grounded by an on-form McConaughey.” – Total Film Oct 28, 2014 Full Review Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) 91% 4/5 EDIT “A sequel that - narratively and visually - sets the standard for its summer-movie stablemates.” – Total Film Jul 3, 2014 Full Review Plastic (2014) 14% 2/5 EDIT “Hampered by thoroughly unlikeable characters that not even its talented young cast (Ed Speleers, Will Poulter, Alfie Allen) can make you root for.” – Total Film Apr 27, 2014 Full Review The Last Days on Mars (2013) 18% 3/5 EDIT “Manages to break free from its low-budget limitations but is hamstrung by its own love of the genre.” – Total Film Apr 7, 2014 Full Review RoboCop (2014) 50% 4/5 EDIT “Taking the original and successfully transplanting it into an ambitious new world, José Padilha's english-language debut is an exciting, pacey and thoughtful sci-fi actioner.” – Total Film Feb 5, 2014 Full Review Argo (2012) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Combining laughs and thrills with plenty of verve, Ben Affleck continues his smart directorial career with a stylish, gripping hostage drama.” – Total Film Oct 17, 2012 Full Review Red Lights (2012) 30% 3/5 EDIT “A starry cast, curious premise and well-crafted shocks make for an ambitious thriller that ekes - and eeks - out the tension to its iffy finale.” – Total Film Jun 11, 2012 Full Review Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Fusing spectacle and emotion into a thrilling final chapter, director David Yates ensures that the series goes out with a bang. Finales don't come much grander than this.” – Total Film Jul 7, 2011 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Bigger and better than the original, Panda 2 skilfully avoids the curse of the sequel with wit, flair and a 3D paw to the face.” – Total Film May 25, 2011 Full Review No Strings Attached (2011) 47% 3/5 EDIT “A none-too-challenging romcom saved from obscurity by a kooky supporting cast, smutty one-liners and Portman flaunting her funny side.” – Total Film Feb 22, 2011 Full Review Fred: The Movie (2010) 0% 1/5 EDIT “Even young fans of the online shorts will find the concept stretched perilously thin. And if your eardrums don't break, your spirit certainly will.” – Total Film Dec 16, 2010 Full Review Max Manus (2008) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Bandidas directors Joachim Roenning and Espen Sandberg employ impressive production values and a blockbuster sensibility here, nailing the suspense.” – Total Film Jun 5, 2009 Full Review
