Gladiator II (2024)
70%
3/5
“If you loved Gladiator, it’s odds-on you’ll enjoy this too. It’s got all of the same exciting bits – swordfighting, rousing speeches, nasty poshos getting what they deserve. The problem is that’s all it gives you.” –

4/5
“Surprisingly, the best part of David Gordon Green’s film isn’t even the horror. It’s the emotional story that weaves in and around the spooky bits.” –

4/5
“Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly might be first-billed on the poster, but this is undeniably the Jonathan Majors show – did Marvel just find its next great villain?” –

Black Adam (2022)
39%
2/5
“Billed as the anti-Avenger who’s prepared to get his hands dirty, Adam hides a tragic past that apparently means he needs to lack any charisma too. Why hire the most magnetic movie star in the world, only to have him pout and scowl for two hours?” –
