Movie reviews of Ben Kendrick

Makes a compelling case for being one of the studio’s best adventures. Review

An immersive and thought-provoking movie experience. Review

Provides another enjoyable adventure with Jim Hensen’s lovable creations. Review

Thomas packs his movie with countless returning faces, wrapping a serviceable mystery story around their reunion... Review

Car lovers and films fans that are willing to switch off their brains should find an amusing ride. Review

Just fails to evolve the story or sword-and-sandles brawling in any meaningful way. Review

Stale performances, an over-stuffed as well as ineffective narrative, and bland visual spectacle... Review

An agreeable but unremarkable film. Review

A watered down reboot that’s missing both the satire and violence that made the original a classic. Review

Nearly every character is a stock outline... Review

Not the ridiculous train wreck that some hardcore movie buffs were expecting. Review

An adequate and enjoyable spy drama... Review

A claustrophobic experience that will force moviegoers to repeatedly confront the horrors of the battlefield... Review

A pretty standard found footage experience. Review

An inspiring and beautifully shot character adventure... Review

Still slightly better than a lot of its contemporaries, and offers enough laughs to make it worthy of tempered recommendation. Review

A humorous and enthralling adventure in Middle-earth with rich characters, sharp visuals, and an epic storyline. Review

Second-fiddle in nearly every way to its South Korean inspiration... Review

Delivers a worthy mix of nostalgia, informative insight, and engaging human storylines... Review

Falls short of developing many of the presented events beyond interconnected, but mostly surface-level, displays of exposition and tension. Review

Vaughn delivers in a number of encounters that ground the film in meaningful emotional drama but other moments are less successful... Review

Curtis succeeds at telling an impactful and engaging character story about a man that can travel back in time. Review

A bigger and more exciting adventure for Marvel’s God of Thunder. Review

The film’s star-studded cast of actors manage to make certain rehashed moments slightly more engaging... Review
