Movie reviews of Craig McKenzie

An excellent follow up that matches and often surpasses the first film. Review

A well put together story that is driven by its characters rather than events. Review

There is enough that is fresh and interesting here to make even the most jaded slasher fan sit up and take notice. Review

Strikes a near perfect balance between comedy, action and meaningful characterisation. Review

A somewhat messy experience that doesn’t deliver on its promise of showing over the top disaster sequences. Review

The world is expertly crafted and skilfully moved on from the original... Review

It doesn’t do enough to justify its existence despite some some promising early scenes setting up the story. Review

An immensely entertaining time at the movies with fun characters, creative action and an entertaining villain. Review

Slick, and oozes a charm that has been missing for a while. Review

There’s a good film in here somewhere but it’s hidden under a sea of wasted opportunities. Review

There is a good mix of comedic styles for those that might be interested but I wasn’t engaged by the characters or the story itself... Review

A superficial film hiding its flaws behind a stylish presentation. Review

An underwhelming and unremarkable action film that has the suggestion of potential beneath the surface but never bothers to explore it. Review

A witty, clever and wonderfully executed entry into the DC Animated film series. Review

A bland experience that tries to coast on the charisma of its lead actors but fails to do so. Review

A disappointing entry to the Toho Godzilla canon with too much focus on bland conversations... Review

A mixed bag that is at its best when leaning into its potential as an action movie. Review

A solid viewing experience that is really effective in showcasing the broad scope of the Detroit Rebellion... Review

An expertly crafted sprawling science fiction universe with an abundance of really cool things to explore and incredible visuals. Review

The characters are frustratingly thin, the gags aren’t funny and the story doesn’t ever qualify as interesting. Review

A solid if unremarkable horror experience that has some interesting visual touches and builds suspense effectively... Review

A really compelling viewing experience with likeable characters, believable relationships and a charming sense of humour. Review

A technically impressive film that makes good use of sound design and visual language to communicate the scope of the situation. Review

He emotional beats land almost without exception, the characterisation of Caesar is really impressive and Bad Ape offers some well placed comic relief... Review
