Film Reviews by NC

If good with US bish bosh bash with convoluted story line with a few gaps, this will be fine. Action and dialogue.

Keeps well to story and graphics are very impressive. They getting them near perfect now. Go see it on stage in London if can, is even better!

If make bikes, like i do, is a 5 star, but if prefer football....is a 1 . Lot of work to edit all the mass of interviews down to even 2 hours!

Not really an Xmas special, just the normal family in massive house with limitless money and dont work scenario.

Is OK but a bit dragged along from the previous. Was not necessary. Saw same day as life of pets 2, so was a poor second. Given it 3 as is colourful and no swearing etc, so has to be better than most whatever....................

Once again a kids cartoon with more imagination and clever dialogue than most adult films. De Caprio et al eat your hearts out........but that prob in their next film?

Animation is getting so good now , paint missing off railings, weeds growing in odd natural places etc. Mass of light and colour raises the spirits on a bleak day.

One to take the kids to, plus granny!..........take everyone..............

Again the original is best. Have to be wary copying things. Beauty and the Beast was clever. Dumbo was not. This is in between the two i guess. Will Smith made some strong money i suspect, but an unknown could have had a chance at the genie perhaps?

Lots of dialogue. Probably not an ideal role for Emma? Feels very much like a poor copy of Devil Wears Prada, but without the bite, or the tightness.

Maybe less talking and more acting could have made it a bit more cutting edge? Nearly a 2..........

Sex and drugs and Ray. He was a busy boy. If he had not lost his sight may not have been so resilient. Certainly had a great time. Playing music, shooting up, and getting loads of ladies in tow. Who needs rock and roll?

Jamie does well as Ray. Saw the extended version and was doable.

Getting bit bored with watching PC games as films. Better acting and storyline would help. MIB 1 and 2 and RIPD were fine, but the stream of Marvel films and films like this just boring now..................

Gary must like a few easy bob. Fairly pointless film as missed out on almost any endearing facets............humour, tension, plot, empathy.................

Like Brit films. Handy true story ones can be good fun.......Calendar girls etc...........but really found this a bit cringeworthy in places. Felt sorry for some of the actors to be fair, as some did their best with what they had been given. Mays as the lead was really the one reason he had no redeeming features. Surprised Pegg didnt come back from Startrek for a few easy quid...............some nice singing though, if like the finger in ear music.............

Masses of computer graphics, naturally. Most films these days are like watching PC games now. Is quite good fun, kids can probably watch this one quite happily, has good juniors input as a core.

Trying to think of one redeeming feature? Seeing Brendan Foster as a gross example of mankind is only one can think of. Plot, dialogue, pace, empathy........all missing.

John doing some poor stuff now.

Is watchable/entertaining, but could have been far more edgy. Was a bit like Jack Black in drag. Too much flimsy US toilet humour, and not quite the edge it could of had. Devil wears Prada had style, this has splash and noise.
