Continuing Netflix’s recent hot streak of below-average action thrillers, Extraction is Chris Hemsworth’s attempt to ditch the superhero tights and reinvent himself as the next Tom Cruise/Keanu Reeves by...

We’ve had quite a few terrible blockbusters so far in 2019 – hello Dark Phoenix, Hellboy, and Godzilla – but, none of them have left as little an impression as Men in Black: International, a forgettable...

Though he may only appear in the film for 20 or so minutes, Chris Hemsworth is the key to Bad Times at the El Royale. Without being able to plaster his face and permanent shirtlessness onto every piece of...

Drew Goddard’s Bad Times at the El Royale – out this week – looks like a hell of a ride, especially with the stellar ensemble cast. Chris Hemsworth's role might be one of the smaller ones, but the...

Screenwriter extraordinaire Drew Goddard (Cloverfield, World War Z, The Martian) is back with his second feature as a director, Bad Times at the El Royale. His latest finds a group of strangers unravelling a...

Here’s a tough one: how do you make a cinema audience sympathise with a WW2 Nazi? It’s probably best that he doesn’t buy into the regime - no-one would like that. It would help to make him reject the...

This belated follow up to 2012’s Snow White and the Huntsman is confusingly both prequel and sequel, with Snow White’s absence awkwardly conspicuous. It threatens to be bloated, patronising, and...

Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea is nothing that we haven’t seen before, least of all from the man himself – moral characters, personality clashes, a dramatic score and attempts to survive the...

Age of Ultron moonwalks assuredly past Second Album Syndrome, but doesn’t get to be the Avengers’ The Empire Strikes Back. It’s a barnstorming cyclone of spectacle, yet never manages to recapture how...
