Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
73%
4/5
EDIT
“It's great to see a Marvel film that has a balance between the director's style and the needs of the studio. It's great to see a Marvel film that pops with colour and feels close to its comic book origins without being too obvious.” –

The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

2.5/5

Red Notice (2021)
37%
3/5
EDIT
“Red Notice has never pitched itself as anything other than a fun treasure hunt put together by pals. It's an easy, non-taxing watch. It isn't particularly memorable though.” –

Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
63%
3/5
EDIT
“The 3-star score comes with a caveat. Ghostbusters: Afterlife works as a fun, entertaining kids film, albeit one so possessed by nostalgia it may want to consider an exorcism.” –

Finch (2021)
74%
3/5
EDIT
“As he proved in Cast Away, Tom Hanks solo can keep anyone's attention for hours. Paired with a rather good dog actor and some very good effects for Jeff, this is an easy watch.” –

The Harder They Fall (2021)

4/5
EDIT
“This is one of the most entertaining films of the year and in Samuel, it gives us a new name to watch out for.” –

Halloween Kills (2021)
38%
2/5
EDIT
“The makers do not even have a handle on the big message of this film, as mob justice fuelled by an idiotic chant of "Evil dies tonight!" is shown to be a bad thing... and a good thing.” –

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
58%
2.5/5
EDIT
“Even at a tight 97 minutes, it is clear that the comic book dream of having the iconic symbiotes face off was the goal - they just were not sure how to fill the time getting there.” –

No Time to Die (2021)
83%
4.5/5
EDIT
“It's bold and ambitious, yet it exudes confidence and moves with such drive, you do not feel most of its admittedly long 163-minute running time.” –

Malignant (2021)
77%
3/5
EDIT
“Malignant is nonsense, but it is a fun diversion as it almost becomes a parody of itself.” –

Dune (2021)
83%
4/5
EDIT
“It is a thrilling telling of the tale that manages to make the stately stunning and give what could be a slow procession some much-needed pace.” –

Kate (2021)

2/5
EDIT
“This instead will pass the time as some violent wallpaper, albeit with a pattern that will trigger deja vu.” –

Cinderella (2021)
41%
2/5
EDIT
“While Cinderella will have its fans (people love a singalong no matter what), this is an update that is neither needed nor likely to enter the pantheon of classic adaptations.” –

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

4/5
EDIT
“Shang-Chi takes Marvel's action choreography to a new level of thrilling and the camera dances with the movement.” –

Sweet Girl (2021)
24%
2/5
EDIT
“With a tighter running time and less of a lurch into nonsense, Sweet Girl could have been a great film about a father and daughter on the run with a real point to make.” –

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021)

3/5

“Nightmare Of The Wolf is more for fans of The Witcher rather than newbies, but there is enough to be enjoyed on its own.” –

Jungle Cruise (2021)

EDIT
“Jungle Cruise does evoke classic adventure films, but only in that you would rather be watching them than drifting along with this.” –

No Sudden Move (2021)
92%
3.5/5
EDIT
“Other than crime, Soderbergh touches on race, industry and corruption, and like many noir flicks, you may not like where the story leaves you but it will stay with you.” –

“If Black Widow is truly the final goodbye for Johansson as Natasha (well, you never know), this is a decent exit.” –

Luca (2021)
91%
4/5
EDIT
“While the big theme is not as in-your-face compared with other recent Pixar films, Luca still packs in the right amount of charm, character and heart for this fish-out-of-water tale of friendship and finding your path.” –

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)
56%
1.5/5
EDIT
“The Devil Made Me Do It is so close to a parody, it could be entertaining to watch at home with friends. But paying to watch in a cinema - as this reviewer did - feels like an evening wasted.” –

Friends: The Reunion (2021)
67%
3/5
EDIT
“For the most part, it is a nice trip down memory lane. But there are also so many sections to this sitcom Franken-tribute, and at over 160 minutes, even the best of Friends can overstay a welcome.” –
