Movie reviews of Bob Mann

The whole thing smells of utter desperation. Review

Although rather shoving its Greenpeace-style credentials down the viewer’s throats, this is a fun and family-friendly outing in the series. Review

It’s not a total disaster, but it all feels lacklustre and lazy after the glory of the Wrath of Khan. Review

Wowee! From the ridiculous to the sublime. This is how to make a Star Trek movie! Review

If this grand-standing was the quiet interlude between high-octane action sequences, then it might be partly forgiven. But even the action scenes are little less than soporific. Review

Is it a watchable film now… hmm, yes just about. And it has scenes which indeed are highly entertaining. Review

The variability in the acting and the somewhat clunky script would normally lead me to rate the movie lower. But the novel subject matter on an historical topic I knew nothing about makes “Roe v Wade” a movie that is worth sticking through. Certainly food for thought. Review

I’ve put off watching this movie, since the subject matter didn’t immediately grab me. But I’m glad I caught it, since I really enjoyed it. Review

It’s a really dumb actioner that frustrated me with its mediocrity. Review

Finding a movie with a novel storyline is an unusual thing these days, and one that combines that with a taut and engrossing screenplay is a gem indeed. Review

With its jerky and unfocsed exposition it never really soars. Review

I simply loved it. Review

Just watch the start of Casino Royale again. Review

This is a first rate disaster movie of the caliber Deep Impact, one of my personal favorites. Review

Based on fact, a fascinating historical record of the real excitement of uncovering the past. Review

It's a superb performance... Review

This is still a bit of a B-movie, but its a bloody good one! Utterly preposterous at times, and with decision-making that would feel at home within the Trump presidency, it’s an entertaining rollercoaster of a movie. Review

This was a refreshing movie. Endlessly innovative and entertaining. Review

Soul is brim-full with Pixar quirkiness. Review

Above all, Jenkins injects heaps of HEART into the movie. As a result, this is not your run of the mill supervillain showdown flick. Review

It’s glorious to look at; brilliantly directed; but not a movie I would choose to readily reach for to repeatedly watch again. Review

Mark Williams has put together a tight and well-executed movie, not outstaying its welcome at only 99 minutes long. Review

Borat fans will no doubt love it. I tolerated it, and was intermittently entertained. But I would have preferred more of the clever hilarious bits and less of the cringingly crude and offensive stuff. Review

Slick and utterly entertaining, I’ll quietly predict that this one will gain a following as a mini-cult-classic when it gets to streaming services. Recommended. Review
