Movie reviews of Jacob Richardson

The film strikes a perfect balance, drawing on all the aspects we’ve come to know of Han Solo, and answering some niggling questions without shoving it down the throat of its audience. Review

Raucous, irreverent, bloody and undeniably joyful in it’s contrarian nature, Deadpool 2 delights in tearing down the genre norms and is all the better for it. Review

Beautiful but ponderous, Simon Baker’s directorial debut eschews much of the standard Winton formula and much of the guff in pursuit of something much more subtle. Review

A mile a minute, action packed, fanboy overloading film about retreat. Bloody brilliant. Review

Eels like a comedy made in 2001. Best to let this one stay in the past. Review

Brings his quirky, symmetrical charm to stop motion once again; and while it’s no Fantastic Mr. Fox, it’s definitely still a good boy. Review

Batshit insane, impossibly stupid and unbelievably entertaining, Rampage is exactly what you’re looking for in a big, dumb disaster movie. Review

It doesn’t make an ounce of sense and is messier than a china shop after the proverbial bull, but still… it’s bloody ambitious. Review

Is the 80’s on steroids. Strap yourself in for the ride, because you’re about to be absolutely Spielberged. Review

Consistently hilarious, adroit and intriguing, The Death of Stalin delivers on the promise of great actors, delivering great material, in a great setting. Review

A somewhat middling exploration of the classic tales, Peter Rabbit shines most, ironically, when it ditches it’s titular character. Review

Incredibly predictable, Tomb Raider only ever connects because of Alicia Vikander’s incredible talent. Review

Alex Garland’s latest sci-fi flick is a beautiful, heady and mind-boggling exploration of a truly unique concept. Review

A disappointing mis-mash of two tales. It’s not the fact that it’s bad, but rather that it’s almost so good, that makes it so painful to watch. Review

Functions adequately, but you wish they had of spent as much time on quality dialogue and plotting as they did on pushing the boundaries of violence and sexuality. Review

Utterly unique in the pantheon of the MCU, Black Panther is fresh, vibrant and well-rounded with it’s excellent cast and indelible villain. Review

Lazy, irksome and utterly, entirely vapid, the latest instalment in the Fifty Shades trilogy bathes the original in rose-coloured light. Review

Literally exactly what you expect from a Gerard Butler, 50-Cent two hander. Review

Frequently hilarious, and anchored by tremendous performances from Margot Robbie and Allison Janney, I, Tonya skates its way into your heart pretty quickly. Review

Visually stunning, stirring and compulsively watchable atmospheric masterpiece... Review

Lumbering and slow-moving, The Commuter isn’t here to defy your expectations. But, surprisingly, and even if just a little bit, it does. Review

Spielberg’s taut political news thriller is anchored by tremendous performances, kinetic camera work and an admirable level of respect for the audience. Review

Raw, visceral, but also darkly funny, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is a film that will stay with you for a long time after viewing. Review

Painfully beautiful, and masterfully delivered, Guillermo Del Toro’s literal fish-out-of-water love story is immersive, original and, frankly, wonderful. Review
