Movie reviews of Jason King

Go and see DESTROYER for a powerhouse direction from Karyn Kusama and to see Nicole Kidman’s 36yrs of acting skills come together to blow the screen away.

A powerful and engaging survival thriller based on the true terrorist events that took place in the Taj Mahal Hotel in 2008.

The movie has all the best of the MCU in it and is a wonderful new hero I cannot wait to see more of in the MCU story arc.

It is not a blockbuster, but it is a nuanced masterpiece of human survival and the world needs nothing more in their lives right now than Mads Mikkelsen going into battle with Mother Nature.

Visually it is a masterpiece worthy of awards but arrogance at expecting it to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year sees the film with an ending so unsatisfying it borders on criminal.

One of the most difficulty haunting but also beautiful movies you will see in your lifetime.

A little too shiny and Hallmarkish but it still gives a powerful look into the state of race relations in the U.S.A.. A film that should be compulsory viewing for all school students and police officers in the States.

A fantastically decent drug-problem dramatic film. The plot is a little confused at times but the performances are one hell of a strong back bone holding it all together.

A documentary masterpiece of one inspirational and lovable real life Spider-Man.

A decent movie but it is far from being a great movie. I would see this one if you’re a massive Clint fan or want a slow paced rainy day movie which misses the destination but has an enjoyable journey getting there.

I was expecting very little and was thoroughly impressed by this modernised family Excalibur fantasy quest film. It had a good message, a wonderful plot and a script a thousand times better than Aquaman.

Is it as good as the original? No. Is it a good film? Yes.

An ideal family movie for these school holidays. The movie is as cute as it is entertaining and educational, I cannot recommend it enough.

Does offer the best visuals in the series and gives the audience a more than acceptable conclusion to the heartwarming adventures of Toothless, Hiccup and the inhabitants of Berk.

Relying solely on a hot mangod and some epic CGI makes a quick buck but leaves a quickly faded-from-memory paint by numbers piece of trash.

A science fiction masterpiece. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and has some truly horrifying scenes, superb visuals and an arresting soundtrack. But best of all this movie will keep you thinking long after the credits roll.

The music, sets, choreography and cast are superb but Blunt is no Andrews, as marvelous as she is onscreen. Given what we have, it’s probably the best outcome for a sequel Disney could have asked for.

It looks marvellous and I can see Ralph Breaks the Internet making a squillion dollars for the empire, but this doesn’t make it a great film, just a bright and colourful one.

There are highs and there are lows but it is real, it is personal, and it is so heartfelt it hasn’t left me since viewing it.

It pushes boundaries, re-writes animation laws and throws so much colour at you that when you don’t pass out and reach for the sunnies you truly realise its greatness.

Climax will not be for everyone, for me it is worth it for the opening dance sequence alone. The music of the film is sensational as is the cast and hellish depraved decline of the characters while off their minds on too much acid. Gaspar Noé is an exceptional artist with film as his canvas...

Creed II literally adds nothing new to the franchise. It rehashes the same storylines, old characters and old issues. But it does it bloody well.

Littered with pastiche cliche of lazy action movies and the story’s major plot holes need to see someone smacked over the head with the giant continuity cane.

I thought it was eons more entertaining and with more purpose than the first film. For the first time ever I am actually interested to see where this story heads.
