Snowpiercer (2013) 94% 9/10 EDIT “While not quite the artistic masterpiece that fans of the post-apocalyptic have been hailing it, Snowpiercer is still a thrilling, intriguing, blackly humorous and sometimes horrifying ride through the best and worst that humanity has to offer.” – Starburst May 2, 2019 Full Review Captain Marvel (2019) 79% 7/10 EDIT “By no means bad, Captain Marvel is still an enjoyable space-slash-superhero adventure, but Carol Danvers might have been better served by being introduced a little earlier in the release order.” – Starburst Mar 7, 2019 Full Review The Kid Who Would Be King (2019) 90% 8/10 EDIT “With more than enough twists and surprises to keep adults engaged and a great message about standing up for yourself, The Kid Who Would Be King is a ridiculously good-natured tale for kids of all ages.” – Starburst Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Glass (2019) 37% 7/10 EDIT “Glass isn't a superhero film as much as it's a sequel to the understated world of Unbreakable and a loving ode to the world of comic books. Approach it knowing that, and you'll most likely enjoy it.” – Starburst Jan 17, 2019 Full Review Mary Poppins Returns (2018) 79% 6/10 EDIT “While Emily Blunt tries her best, the original sets far too high a standard for Mary Poppins Returns to hope to achieve.” – Starburst Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Aquaman (2018) 66% 8/10 EDIT “Mercifully the scale is reduced to a more human size for the last action sequence which allows Momoa and Wilson to show off their posing and trident skills, which are considerable. The film is sure to be a rich source of desktop backgrounds.” – Starburst Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) 97% 9/10 EDIT “Not just an incredibly confident, entertaining animated Spidey film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is up there as one of the best, if not the best, Spider-Man film, period.” – Starburst Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Overlord (2018) 82% 7/10 EDIT “Overlord is an enjoyable action film but falls just short of greatness. It's not quite the Castle Wolfenstein movie you've been waiting for.” – Starburst Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018) 87% 8/10 EDIT “Half the living beings in the universe aren't at stake, just two lives. If you're ok with that after Infinity War, then this is the perfect superhero summer blockbuster palate cleanser.” – Starburst Jul 5, 2018 Full Review Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) 47% 8/10 EDIT “Fallen Kingdom doesn't quite re-engineer the franchise, but it does move it along some interesting directions that open a new world of possibilities.” – Starburst Jun 6, 2018 Full Review Pacific Rim Uprising (2018) 42% 6/10 EDIT “At best it can be seen as the set up for a new 'Young Adult' take on the franchise, which wouldn't be a bad thing.” – Starburst Mar 22, 2018 Full Review Black Panther (2018) 96% 9/10 EDIT “Iron Man tries too hard and Captain America is far too earnest to be cool but Black Panther, both Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of the character and the film that surrounds him, is just effortlessly cool.” – Starburst Feb 14, 2018 Full Review Alien: Covenant (2017) 65% 7/10 EDIT “Covenant is a tense, and sometimes delightfully gross, sci-fi thriller that has a great look, a solid cast, and for the most part addresses the mistakes of Prometheus. Somehow though, it doesn't quite add up to more than the sum of its parts.” – Starburst May 9, 2017 Full Review The Jungle Book (2016) 94% 8/10 EDIT “The Jungle Book is one of those rare beasts; a loving update to an enduring tale that actually works.” – Starburst Apr 13, 2016 Full Review Deadpool (2016) 85% 9/10 EDIT “The movie delivers... in bloody spades.” – Starburst Feb 11, 2016 Full Review Victor Frankenstein (2015) 26% 7/10 EDIT “Most of the comedy seems intentional and primarily comes from McAvoy's manic performance as Frankenstein, frequently engaging in hyperactive rants, spittle flying from his mouth in a most entertaining fashion.” – Starburst Dec 3, 2015 Full Review The Good Dinosaur (2015) 76% 8/10 EDIT “While it's still very enjoyable, it doesn't quite live up to the standard expected of Pixar, even if those expectations are completely unfair and unreasonable.” – Starburst Dec 1, 2015 Full Review The Visit (2015) 68% 8/10 EDIT “The Visit is by no means a perfect horror film, but it does show that Shyamalan can still tell a scary story and tell it well.” – Starburst Sep 10, 2015 Full Review Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) 97% 8/10 EDIT “Max himself and some of the villains may be thinly sketched, but Fury Road is definitely worth the cost of gasoline to go and see.” – Starburst Aug 31, 2015 Full Review The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) 68% 8/10 EDIT “This episode is one of the more enjoyable action experiences this summer. It's certainly the best dressed.” – Starburst Aug 12, 2015 Full Review Fantastic Four (2015) 9% 8/10 EDIT “Whilst all the character building comes at the cost of a slightly rushed climax, there's a solid basis here for future movies, if audiences can get on board with a more toned down Fantastic Four.” – Starburst Aug 6, 2015 Full Review Spy (2015) 94% 8/10 EDIT “Spy will nicely tide espionage fans over until Spectre and The Man from UNCLE arrive later in the year.” – Starburst Jul 29, 2015 Full Review Jurassic World (2015) 72% 8/10 EDIT “Definitely worth the price of admission.” – Starburst Jul 29, 2015 Full Review Minions (2015) 55% 8/10 EDIT “The Minions movie is almost complete nonsense, but it's good natured, enjoyable nonsense nonetheless.” – Starburst Jul 29, 2015 Full Review Terminator Genisys (2015) 26% 7/10 EDIT “Schwarzenegger settles back into the role that made him famous like a well-worn biker jacket, and despite his age (and thanks to decent special effects) he manages to be fully engaged in the action, engaging multiple Terminators in epic battles.” – Starburst Jul 29, 2015 Full Review
