Movie reviews of Jacob Richardson

Better than On Stranger Tides, but not by much. Review

It can’t capture the surprise of the first film, but if you enjoyed the original, you’ll likely love this one too... Review

Excalibur brings a curious new take on medieval sword fights that is utterly enthralling. Review

Gives us too much of what we have seen before, and not enough, simultaneously. Review

Misses everything we loved about Amy Schumer, wastes Goldie Hawn, and seems intent on delivering up the most banal plot of the year. Review

Winds between humour and seriousness, perplexity and shining revelations... Review

Combines stunning production design, cinematography and a remarkable roster of characters... Review

This laser focused thriller is anchored by a tremendous performance by a terrific actress... Review

Comedically though, the film is really strong, and this is in no small part thanks to Bill Nighy. Review

Takes a nugget of interesting story and turns it into a movie as bland and punishing as the barren corporate landscape it tries to depict. Review

An average, predictable and unremarkable instalment... Review

A delight; funny, charming and emotionally moving, it is a perfect example of how to turn a simple concept into a fresh and moving film. Review

The Dark Knight returns, this time with humour, meta gags and butt jokes rather than sincere gravitas and Tom Hardy growling through a mask. And it works! Review

Both languid and roiling, quiet and calm; a tour de force in creative freedom and direction... Review

Stunning visuals can’t save this derivative, thinly-plotted movie. Review
