Movie reviews of Jacob Richardson

Isn’t going to win any awards for the quality of its filmmaking. But it is undeniably joyous and absolutely fun, and will have you singing all the way home. Review

Absolutely insane, but endlessly loveable, Skyscraper is as wholly unbelievable as it’s gigantic centrepiece tower. Review

An abomination of a film. Review

It might not be as good as Sicario, but it’s still a tense, adult drama that we want to see more of on screen. Review

14 years on, and just as raucously funny and effortlessly entertaining. Review

Consistently funny and ridiculous, if borderline stereotypical, Ideal Home is an entertaining watch. Review

The film strikes a perfect balance, drawing on all the aspects we’ve come to know of Han Solo, and answering some niggling questions without shoving it down the throat of its audience. Review

Raucous, irreverent, bloody and undeniably joyful in it’s contrarian nature, Deadpool 2 delights in tearing down the genre norms and is all the better for it. Review

Beautiful but ponderous, Simon Baker’s directorial debut eschews much of the standard Winton formula and much of the guff in pursuit of something much more subtle. Review

A mile a minute, action packed, fanboy overloading film about retreat. Bloody brilliant. Review

Eels like a comedy made in 2001. Best to let this one stay in the past. Review

Brings his quirky, symmetrical charm to stop motion once again; and while it’s no Fantastic Mr. Fox, it’s definitely still a good boy. Review

Batshit insane, impossibly stupid and unbelievably entertaining, Rampage is exactly what you’re looking for in a big, dumb disaster movie. Review

It doesn’t make an ounce of sense and is messier than a china shop after the proverbial bull, but still… it’s bloody ambitious. Review

Is the 80’s on steroids. Strap yourself in for the ride, because you’re about to be absolutely Spielberged. Review

Consistently hilarious, adroit and intriguing, The Death of Stalin delivers on the promise of great actors, delivering great material, in a great setting. Review

A somewhat middling exploration of the classic tales, Peter Rabbit shines most, ironically, when it ditches it’s titular character. Review

Incredibly predictable, Tomb Raider only ever connects because of Alicia Vikander’s incredible talent. Review

Alex Garland’s latest sci-fi flick is a beautiful, heady and mind-boggling exploration of a truly unique concept. Review

A disappointing mis-mash of two tales. It’s not the fact that it’s bad, but rather that it’s almost so good, that makes it so painful to watch. Review

Functions adequately, but you wish they had of spent as much time on quality dialogue and plotting as they did on pushing the boundaries of violence and sexuality. Review

Utterly unique in the pantheon of the MCU, Black Panther is fresh, vibrant and well-rounded with it’s excellent cast and indelible villain. Review

Lazy, irksome and utterly, entirely vapid, the latest instalment in the Fifty Shades trilogy bathes the original in rose-coloured light. Review

Literally exactly what you expect from a Gerard Butler, 50-Cent two hander. Review
