Movie reviews of Craig McKenzie

A slickly presented compelling character study with an excellent leading performance from Jessica Chastain... Review

An uplifting and intensely watchable musical experience. Review

The characters are well used, the action sequences are excellent and the story itself never fails to be compelling. Review

An unremarkable experience that ruins a lot of its potential thanks to poor pacing, a bloated running time and long stretches of time wasted... Review

An excellent and hilarious film with great performances across the board. Review

An enjoyable if uneven experience that signifies a step in the right direction for the future of the DC movies. Review

An excellent follow up that matches and often surpasses the first film. Review

A well put together story that is driven by its characters rather than events. Review

There is enough that is fresh and interesting here to make even the most jaded slasher fan sit up and take notice. Review

Strikes a near perfect balance between comedy, action and meaningful characterisation. Review

A somewhat messy experience that doesn’t deliver on its promise of showing over the top disaster sequences. Review

The world is expertly crafted and skilfully moved on from the original... Review

It doesn’t do enough to justify its existence despite some some promising early scenes setting up the story. Review

An immensely entertaining time at the movies with fun characters, creative action and an entertaining villain. Review

Slick, and oozes a charm that has been missing for a while. Review

There’s a good film in here somewhere but it’s hidden under a sea of wasted opportunities. Review

There is a good mix of comedic styles for those that might be interested but I wasn’t engaged by the characters or the story itself... Review

A superficial film hiding its flaws behind a stylish presentation. Review

An underwhelming and unremarkable action film that has the suggestion of potential beneath the surface but never bothers to explore it. Review

A witty, clever and wonderfully executed entry into the DC Animated film series. Review

A bland experience that tries to coast on the charisma of its lead actors but fails to do so. Review

A disappointing entry to the Toho Godzilla canon with too much focus on bland conversations... Review

A mixed bag that is at its best when leaning into its potential as an action movie. Review

A solid viewing experience that is really effective in showcasing the broad scope of the Detroit Rebellion... Review
