Movie reviews of Olivia Fahy

The War of the Rohirrim is a spectacular achievement and it perfectly balances aspects of both styles, meaning fans of Lord of the Rings and anime will be equally pleased with the results. Review

Wicked Part One is a spectacular adaptation that has moments for eagle-eyed fans and also makes its own mark on well-known property. Review

These are roles that illustrate just what incredible talents these men are, both of whom are more well known for one particular role, and their solid performances really anchor the film even more in reality. Review

As for the story, it will melt even the coldest of hearts on the darkest winter's day with its warmth, creative humour, and special message at the core. Review

Overall, it's a bitter pill to swallow to see the magnificance of Joker be followed-up by something so weak, but maybe that's what Phillips was going for, and this is actually a way of showing us how numb the asylum inmates get when on the drugs they're given. Review

Alien: Romulus is a thrilling and brilliant watch up until the last 15 minutes, give or take, but alas, it fumbles the landing leaving us feeling cheated out of a truly epic addition to the franchise. Review

It's jam-packed with geek culture that will make your heart sing, and a soundtrack that will make your mouth do the same. Review

Abigail is a really fun horror that might not scare the living daylights out of you, but will creep you out like there's no tomorrow. Highly recommended. Review

The film is spectacular to look at, with amazing cinematography and stellar special effects, but we can't help but feel that because Denis Villeneuve is such a big fan of the books, he wanted to include everything as opposed to taking a sharper edit to the story. Review

If you're just looking for something to take your mind off the state of the world, this would be our recommendation. It really is stupidly fun. Review

Gran Turismo isn't going to be a game-changer for cinema, but if you're already into gaming and motorsport, it's an enjoyable enough film. That being said, we can't call it a good film, it's just... fine. Review

It will tick a number of boxes for die-hard fans and will engage and entertain those who are just coming along for the ride as well, which is exactly what you want from a franchise that is as iconic as TMNT. Review

You will laugh, cry, hear some home truths and maybe even find yourself with answers to your own life problems — The Barbie Movie literally covers everything! Review

Oppenheimer is a masterclass on how powerful cinema can be and if Nolan can make Quantum Theory as interesting and fairly understandable as this, then who knows what else he can do. Review

It certainly worth the jaunt to the cinema to go see, but manage those expectations. The Flash will make you laugh, cry, facepalm, be frustrated and applaud, but it remains to be seen just how much of a 'reset' button the film really is. Review

Considering there are now seven films in the live-action Transformers franchise, you'd be forgiven for thinking their time is done, but with some clever and well-executed action sequences, along with a few chuckles, Rise of the Beasts is actually better than some of its predecessors. Review

Even though the film is stunning, it suffers a little from Avatar syndrome — no matter how pretty something is to look at, it doesn't need to be too long. Review

There will be tears, there will be laughs, there is a banging soundtrack — all of the ingrediants that make Guardians of the Galaxy the franchise that it is. Review

The storyline is very linear and somewhat basic, and all the jokes are aimed for the young and not the young at heart, so while you might release a slight chuckle here and there, you won't have any moments where you're laughing and the children around you are asking what's so funny. Review

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is an excellent addition to the world of D&D. The film captures the magic of the game perfectly, and it is a must-watch for all fans of the game and those who enjoy an exciting adventure story. Review

John Wick 4 is a thrilling and satisfying addition to the franchise, delivering on all fronts with its intricate world-building, intense action, and compelling characters. Review

Overall, Scream VI is a great addition to the franchise and while it won't be people's favourite, it will be a success... Review

Parts are absolutely brilliant and then others are a little disappointing, with the dodgy CGI segments in a production of this size still being an issue. It's a mixed bag overall, but knowing now what the plan of action is for the Multiverse Saga, we're still just as excited to see what unfolds. Review

Avatar: The Way Of Water is a more impressive sequel than expected, and even though it's been 13 years, fans can dive back into the world with ease. It's executed in such a way that we're actually excited to see where it goes next, something we weren't sure it would be able to achieve. Review
