Movie reviews of Bob Mann

If you were drunk enough or bored enough, this might vaguely entertain you. But it’s really just another President/terrorist knock-off that is barely worth your time. Review

So, my message to you, people of earth, is that is a mini-classic that is being woefully ignored and you should get out to your wonderfully air-conditioned local cinema and see it! Review

Parts of it work and are enjoyable. But overall, its a bit of a mess and its not a film that I will remember much after a few weeks. Review

This is a cerebral but intensely interesting film. Although, in my opinion, deeply flawed in its attempt to be a ‘documentary’, it did have me thinking hard about the subject matter being presented. Review

It’s not the slam-dunk that it could have been with some rather lazy writing and a very vanilla and predictable plot. But, hey, you can’t have everything. I still had fun at the cinema with it and I think you will too. Review

I should comment that the acting of the two leads – Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin – is terrific, especially Lavernhe. Review

Not the film that you probably expected to see. Some will love this one; some will no doubt hate this one. I honestly feel a little bit on the fence at the moment, but with my 4-stars I am leaning towards the positive. Review

28 Days Later had novelty and was a really solid and beautifully crafted film by Danny Boyle. So this was always going to have to be compared with it. But I’d forgotten how good it was. As a park-your-bashed-in-brain-by-the-door action thriller it really delivers the goods. Review

A disappointment given the potential of the satirical comedy concept. Review

There haven’t been many great comedies so far this year and I’m not sure I would rate this one as ‘great’. But it did have its moments... Review

I enjoyed this one a lot, and I can’t say that about many of the animated to live-action knockoffs. This film had real heart and should do good family business over the summer holidays. Recommended. Review

If you want to spend two hours in the company of some breath-taking scenery in Scotland, then this is the movie for you! It’s like the northern, midge-infested version of The Salt Path... Review

I found this to be a pretty uninspiring action film, without any sort of engaging story or character work. It’s just a mess of action scene after action scene. If you enjoy that, then good for you. Review

A feelgood delight of a film. Absolutely loved it and will be returning for a second helping before its run in the cinema is completed. Review

This is the sort of film that if you can find a packed Saturday night cinema audience to enjoy it with, I predict you will have a raucously fun time. Review

Random encounters don’t necessarily add up to a coherent film, unless it’s a documentary. Review

This movie deserves some credit for creating an energetic and envigorating ride: one that also ticks the nostalgia boxes for some adults. Review

Granted it is sophisticated and slightly highbrow entertainment. But I think a lot more people will enjoy this one than Asteroid City... Review

I really can’t describe Paul Feig’s long-delayed sequel as a great film. And as it started, I thought it was going to be a terrible film. But it did pick up with some glossy production values and a fabulous foreign location. Review

It’s a really enjoyable popcorn comedy-horror flick that I really had a lot of fun with. Review

It’s a fun and wholesome Disney film that comes as a welcome surprise after a string of mediocre live-action remakes. Review

It is a real blast of popcorn entertainment and it is good for Ethan Hunt to go out on a – literal – high. Review

It’s not a very happy film to watch. But in my book, it is an extremely well made movie and deserves your attention. Review

Even though it’s a pleasant, great to look at, naturalistic movie about relationships, it’s not one that really moved my meter in terms of ‘feelings’. Not a film I will remember in a few weeks aside from the great central performance by Lily Collias, who could be a big future star. Review
