Suicide Squad
Different
A refreshing change from the regular Super Hero movies.
I thought the characters were interesting and pretty cool, an easy to watch fast paced film that we all enjoyed.
"Superhero" Satisfaction: 4/5
Watch it again in 12 months? No, but probably in a couple of years, the storyline wasn't a must to re watch, but it was fun to watch once.
Ghostbusters 3
Ghostbusters Rebooted
I would have enjoyed this film so much more if I had never seen the 1980's originals. With this in mind the storyline is just simply too repetitive.
The saving grace is that the acting is great, funny and engaging.
If this is going to be your first viewing of a Ghostbusters film I think you will find it pleasantly enjoyable and fun. If you can remember the originals, I think you may be slightly disappointed. That said, even if you have seen the originals, you should rent this movie and simply pretend that its the first Ghostbusters film you've ever seen!
Spooky Rating: 3/5
Watch it again in 12 months? No, glad I've seen it but one viewing is plenty.
Star Trek Beyond
Warp 9
Its impossible for any Star Trek film to disappoint, and true to form this latest instalments delivers!
Even though the story line is very predictable, as is always the case with Star Trek (after all Star Trek has been boldly going for several decades now) the characters have got even more interesting and plenty of amusing moments in this film making it an incredibly engaging watch, its hard to imagine the film is 2hrs long.
The only reason I'm holding back on 5 full stars is that Star Trek has earned a creative licence to really push the limits and create opulent worlds or thought provoking worlds, and it would be nice to see a little bit of that come back into the films.
Sci-Fi Satisfaction: 5/5
Watch it again in 12 months? Absolutely!
The Boss
Fast Paced Fun
Plenty of funny moments, some are a little close to the bone, so not ideal if easily offended. But if your a fan of quick paced comedy, that doesn't take itself seriously and is easily watchable then you will find this film quite enjoyable.
Comedy Value: 4/5
Watch it again in 12 months? Probably.
