What a riot! Yes it's ridiculous, there is massive gender stereotyping and it pales in comparison to Jurassic Park. But the tone, soundtrack, humour and dino action really echo the original and despite all the drawbacks I found it really exciting. Thrilling rather than scary, but how about that Mosasaurus?!!

Genuinely the greatest superhero movie ever. Super cool, super inventive, super exciting and super unique; Watchmen does everything best. Incredible comic-style cinematography, perfectly executed fights, relationship dysfunction, mystery, sexy suits - it really has it all. The soundtrack is impeccable and the backdrop of nuclear war adds gravity. LOVE IT!
Five stars*
* I wish I could give it more than five.

Near-slapstick comedy sees Jack Black and Mos Def bumble their way through an attempt to re-shoot some of their favourite movies with no money and even less talent. Genuinely hilarious in parts and with real heart this was surprisingly enjoyable and had me rooting for the "goodies".

Mad Max?... Mad Movie! Totally bonkers non-stop action from start to finish in this adrenaline-heavy chase story. Low on dialogue and high on explosions it looked incredible, was frantically entertaining and has a great pair of leads in Hardy and Theron. Not life-changing but destined to become an action classic.
Four stars
