Heart of Stone (2023)

3/5
“This fun, explosion-packed actioner has franchise potential, but is missing a final ace up its sleeve.” –

Uncharted (2022)
41%
3/5
“Uncharted makes a decent play for filling an Indy-shaped hole in the movie market right now. But the series will need to beef up its reserves of charm and swagger to be in the same league as cinema’s favorite archaeologist.” –

Jackass Forever (2022)
86%
A+
“A film that can unite every country, every culture, every political leaning with the universally hilarious sight of tiny boxing glove arms rapidly pummelling a fat mans nutsack.” –

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
58%
2/5
“If, one hour into the film, you realise you haven't seen much actual Wonder Woman action, you don't have to look far to see the reason why: she doesn't have anything to fight” –

Tenet (2020)

4/5
“Nolan doesn't seem to care too much about leaving his viewers confused. The question is whether a confused audience can still be an entertained audience.” –

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)
79%
3/5
“Harley Quinn really finds her feet and moves on from the Joker, and from Suicide Squad, and she is stronger and better for it. It's just a shame that she takes so long to get there.” –

The Invisible Man (2020)
91%
4/5
“Between the dark territory that the film explores ... and Moss' gripping portrayal of a woman on the edge of her sanity ... this Invisible Man movie has giant invisiballs” –

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
51%
4/5
“This follow-up feels like a lack of conviction from the franchise as a whole. This is despite the film being just about the best possible version of a final Star Wars film.” –

Knives Out (2019)

5/5
“Beyond this just being a fun, entertaining film, the real achievement is in [Johnson] understanding exactly what his audience is thinking at all times.” –

Ford v Ferrari (2019)
92%
4/5
“A movie that is just really, wonderfully, reliably good. It's a finely-tuned film that has all the right parts in place plus other car service analogies.” –

Doctor Sleep (2019)
78%
3/5
“It's a Shining film in detail, but not in tone. It contains some of the same ghosts, but this is the opposite of a spiritual sequel.” –

It: Chapter Two (2019)
62%
3/5
“It's an overlong carnival for the senses, and that's in addition to Pennywise continuing to give clowns like Bongo Bonzo and Catty Watty a bad name.” –

Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019)
91%
5/5
“The film as a whole is conducting its own deception ... using gags and action to expertly divert audience attention away from the real trick it is performing.” –

Dark Phoenix (2019)

2/5
“If the films have, like the mutant gene, evolved over time, then this instalment is an evolutionary misstep, like the duck-billed platypus, or Vin Diesel.” –

“A megatomic nuke to the senses ... that attempts spectacle but delivers shaky-cam confusion and exhausted cliches for optimum headaches and head-shakes.” –

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

5/5
“It's simultaneously a beautiful send-off, a greatest hits tour and a lap of honour. This is Marvel celebrating Marvel, and it is thoroughly deserved.” –

Hellboy (2019)

2/5
“This Hellboy is exact, perfect room temperature, not managing a single needle flick on the barometer of fan interest. And this is much worse than the film simply being bad.” –

Glass (2019)

“Glass is more interested in having the characters from its two predecessor films meet and confront each other than in actually having anything happen when they do.” –

Colette (2018)

“A refreshingly modern story that's surprisingly pertinent for these times. And - probably through no coincidence - it is Knightley's best performance in years” –
