Movie reviews of Sean Markey

The 1983 effort manages to transfer some interesting ideas onto the screen, but ultimately falls well short of the mark. Review

Really delivers in terms of big spectacle set pieces and high flying battle scenes. Review

Fantasy fans could do worse than dig up a copy and see for themselves. Review

An entertaining enough popcorn muncher, but falls well short of its latent potential. Review

A surprisingly intelligent series. Review

It lets itself down by failing to throw enough fun monster mayhem into the mix. Review

There are plenty of quotable one-liners and enough zany moments to keep audiences interested... Review

Feels half-assed and cheap, a cynical attempt to churn out a ‘stocking filler’ DVD for the lucrative Christmas shopping market. Review

An absolute blast of a film which is bound to go down in history as a festive favourite in many a household. Review

The sheer absurdity of it all will provide many a festive chuckle. Perhaps best viewed alongside a generous serving of eggnog. Review

With plenty of nerve-wracking moments and a good sense of creeping dread throughout. Review

Essentially a lower-middle of the road slasher flick which is far from a classic. Review

An exciting action-thriller which benefits immensely from a powerhouse central performance by Ben Affleck. Review

Lazy, incoherent and incompetent on virtually every conceivable level... Review

One of the worst affronts to cinema in recent years. Review

A strong candidate for worst horror film to get a cinematic release and is a disgrace to the genre. Review

A fun little romp with plenty of action and suspense, as well as some excellent voice acting... Review

A pretty shoddy film. Review

A solid monster movie with very good pacing, its gradual build up of scares leading to all out carnage in the final third. Review

A fun little romp which manages to squeeze a solid blend of action, gore and humour into its 87 minute running time... Review

It has a nice blend of action, comedic quips and an honest feeling sense of heart that comes from a flawed but likable lead character... Review

Essentially an hour long soundboard for Mr Trump with no critique of his ideas or substantial investigation... Review

A largely uninspiring sci-fi adventure with more bad elements than good. Review

For all of its cast’s enthusiasm, The Trust is far too desultory for its own good. Review
