Film Reviews by PW

I found this a very enjoyable film, strong cast, well acted and well paced. The thought the plot became increasingly far fetched, but this didn't spoil my enjoyment. Scarlet J and Morgan freeman always worth a watch and don't disappoint.

I found this film surprisingly good. Angelina Jolie is excellent in the roll and really brings it to life. She rightfully dominates the film. The costumes, special effects and story and also excellent. I think the best part of the film is the reworking of the sleeping beauty standard storyline not knowing quite how this end maintains the interest as a straight re telling would not.

This isn't a classic but I thought if entertaining enough (if you like monster films). The story is fairly simple, but that is not such a bad thing and I thought the special effects where well proportioned and not overwhelming as they are in some films.

The trouble we seem to have a law of diminishing returns:

Shaun of the dead - excellent

Hott Fuzz -good

The World's End - Ok

A shame as an excellent cast was assembled for this. I don't think this is bad film just not a good as its predecessors.

Over the past few years I found myself enjoying TV series more than films and this is another example of that trend for me. Strong cast, good production values . I think is owes a just a bit to 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'. If you like that then you would love this.
