Movie reviews of Bob Mann

In a movie landscape that is pretty devoid of good comedy, here is a movie that really did make me laugh out loud.

It’s a great insight into the life and works of the great man. It could though have cut a slightly harder and more critical edge.

An early summer blockbuster actioner that gets two thumbs up from me. What a pleasant surprise!

After a bit of a bumpy start, its a pleasant watch that culminates in a feel-good ending.

A film that most over-50’s will find a pleasant way to spend two hours.

There’s a good ‘post cold war’ spy film in here trying to get out. Unfortunately, it never quite gets both legs over the wall.

It has truly dynamite performances from Allison Janney and Margot Robbie.

A high-energy and uniquely different take on Marvel that absolutely pays off.

This is a really exquisite and gentle film.

A gripping, stressful, but far from flawless watch.

A tense and very well-executed movie that ably demonstrates the British “stiff upper lip” in public and the weak whiskey-soaked psychosis in private...

Witty, intelligent and shocking at different turns.

The underlying concept is a good one: it is just one that has, in my humble opinion, been implemented in a bizarrely slipshod manner.

An impressive watch and older viewers, and anyone interested in American political history will, I think, love it.

Melds Taken, Non-stop, Unstoppable, Strangers on a Train and Spartacus to create a cinematic mess of supreme proportions.

A great film for really reliving a knife-edge moment in British history, and is highly recommended particularly for older viewers.

A high-class, intelligent crime thriller that takes Mexican standoff to a whole new level. Recommended.

A good film, but an intelligent watch that mandates your attention.

It’s certainly not a perfect film, but its energy and drive carry it through as a memorable movie musical...

I am in awe of how someone can sit down with a blank piece of paper and come out with this story, these characters and this dialogue.

If you like Coogan and Brydon then you will get more laughs out of this one.

But, seriously, life is too short for this.

A Christmas comedy it is an OK watch...

It’s really not half as bad as it could have been and certainly not as bad as I feared: I would gladly watch it again.
