Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
54%
7/10
“...although the film blends stunning effects with familiar themes and faces, the new film will disappoint any movie-goers new to the series. However, die-hard Star Wars fans are sure to love it.” –

7/10
“The Matrix is just the right film to put Keanu back on track; an exhilarating, exciting cyber thriller with all the brains of a headless chicken.” –

The Lovebirds (2020)

1/5
“At least on Netflix, no-one has to shell out for a babysitter to watch this on date night, but this slapdash film is strictly for the birds.” –

The County (2019)
84%
3/5
“As drama, The County may eschew big speeches and big references, but it clearly nods to the undermining of communal effort and the implacable creep of monocultures and global companies.” –

Quantum of Solace (2008)
63%
3/5
“Maybe Bond is still an action figure whose default setting is beating up bad guys, pulling out a gun and running across roofs. But if boys have to be boys, it's a huge relief to know the new Bond age is confident enough to keep them conflicted about it.” –

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)
75%
4/5
“Firth is the lynchpin of Kingsman. It's a pleasure to watch him take down a pub full of heavies, but Firth also brings a suave wit to his line readings and a moral core to the over-caffeinated violence.” –

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
90%
3/5
“I like that X-Men eschews the hipster cynicism of other superhero movies, and that Singer encourages the cast to give their performances Shakespearian vigour.” –

Love Is Strange (2014)

Jupiter Ascending (2015)
28%
2/5
“Jupiter Ascending vibrates like an episode of Star Wars retold by a teenager on Red Bull, a cacophony of nonsense that peaks with poor Sean Bean telling us that "bees are genetically designed to recognise royalty".” –
