Movie reviews of Bob Mann

This is a small but beautifully crafted film that kept me enthralled. I’m not sure it necessarily needed the bees but as a simple tale of prejudice in a small community it was well told and delivered the goods. Review

This is a film that deserves to be seen at the cinema, and on as big a screen as you can manage to find. Review

And the film delights with its modern day recreations of the classic tracks and, as already mentioned, Himesh Patel belts them out wonderfully. Review

I found this an interesting story, but the ending a bit of a damp squib. What might have been barn-storming finale just ends up as a barn-dripping one (arf!). Review

My recommendation would be to skip this one, and catch one of the originals on streaming somewhere. Review

It’s a solid and entertaining night out at the movies: seeing Dame Emma Thompson strutting her stuff is good value for any movie dollar. Review

It’s a perfectly fun way to spend a couple of hours at the cinema, and for kids, particularly those without the reference of the Disney original, will probably love it. Review

It’s not quite perfection: for me, its story stretches credibility in some places. But it still deserves to be a big hit. I think it will be. Review

How long will it be before I see another music biopic this good? I think it’s gonna be a long long time… Review

Overall, this is not a truly terrible movie as a piece of popcorn escape entertainment, but it really could and should have been a whole lot sharper. Review

This film had me gripped until a particular point. Review

But as a cinematic spectacle, for me, it delivered on its billing as a blockbuster finale, but one filled with a degree of nuance I was not expecting. Review

Although possibly causing offence to some, this is a fine example of a US comedy that delivers consistent laughs. Review

It’s clearly been a long overdue hit for DC, and on the whole I enjoyed it. If the film had been a bit tighter, this would have had the potential to be a classic. Review

As long as you don’t ABSOLUTELY LOATHE it, I predict you’ll tolerate the tunes and enjoy the movie. Review

It didn’t make a big dent in the awards nominations. But for fans of quirky romantic comedies it’s a recommended watch. It’s really difficult to dislike! Review

It’s a perfectly pleasant way to spend a couple of hours. The story is intriguing enough to keep your interest, although it plays its hand so early that the simmering suspense element ebbs out of the film. Review

It’s well worth catching: a tale that almost defies belief. Review

It’s a movie that has its moments, but I would personally wait for a (VERY) rainy afternoon and catch it on streaming. Review

It’s a big, brash, loud CGI-stuffed adventure, but well done and visually appealing. Review

The reason to see this film is the tremendous double-act between McCarthy and Grant which is just magic. Both have been lauded with nominations during awards season, and both are richly deserved. Review

There are the makings of a good film in here, and the blending of the three characters into a narrative is a cute idea. But it’s a film that left me feeling generally unsatisfied with its story arc... Review

If you can park your moral compass for a few hours then its an enjoyable film of drug-running and redemption. Review

The film is well-made and the cast is very engaging. It also has a love story at its heart that is moody but well-done. Overall though the movie felt over-engineered and a little pretentious, and that knocked it down a few pegs for me. Review
