A Minecraft Movie (2025)
48%
3/5
“A Minecraft Movie not only doesn’t suck but is also rather fun, its exuberant colour palette and playfully irreverent vibe turning what could have been a cynical exercise in brand proliferation into a goofily knockabout caper.” –

Kraven the Hunter (2024)
15%
2.5/5
“Had Chandor's film stayed an old-school mob yarn with a dash of All the Money in the World, it would probably have been a perfectly satisfying throwaway. What undermines it is its rather desperate eagerness to ally itself with the wider Spider-Man canon.” –

Transformers One (2024)
89%
3/5
“To say Transformers One is a cut above most of its predecessors perhaps isn’t the wildest compliment, given the nadirs those blockbusting behemoths reached in the Michael Bay-directed era. But it earns that laurel regardless.” –

4/5
“A chilling and unnerving retro spine-tingler, with an animatronic hare so lifelike it deserves its own credit. ” –

“A serious subject is sensitively handled in a drama that’s otherwise just tear-jerking soap opera.” –

“An authentically scary dance with the devil that instantly places Perkins among modern horror’s classiest practitioners.” –

The Garfield Movie (2024)
37%
2/5
“Stumbles at the same hurdle that has scuppered previous attempts to bring Garfield to the big screen: namely, the impracticality of crafting a satisfying full-length feature around a self-centered sourpuss.” –

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024)
80%
3/5
“Entertaining enough but inessential, Kingdom offers spectacle and thrills but lacks the ambition, smarts, and gravity of its immediate predecessors.” –

Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver (2024)
16%
2/5
“Snyder’s sci-fi epic stumbles towards the finish line with an underwhelming Part Two that feels more like a Part One-And-A-Half.” –

Sometimes I Think About Dying (2023)
82%
3/5
“There is a definite sense of material being extended beyond its elasticity. Yet it’s a decent vehicle for Ridley that, like last year’s The Marsh King’s Daughter, shows she doesn’t need a galaxy far, far away to demonstrate her star (Wars) power.” –

Drive-Away Dolls (2024)

3/5
“Throw in a luggage-sized McGuffin straight out of Pulp Fiction and we’re left with a comedy steeped in déjà vu. There is no denying, though, that Qualley and Viswanathan make a highly likable duo...” –

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023)

2/5
“Aqua #2 has to be considered a disappointment – one that, in endeavouring to emulate what made Wan’s original the highest-grossing DC film of all time, merely serves up more of the same to increasingly bathetic effect.” –

“Freddy Fazbear and his pals would seem precision-tooled for terror. Sadly, though, they are about as scary as Barney the purple dinosaur in what is ultimately a ploddingly predictable, gore-lite yawner.” –
