Movie reviews of Hamish Calvert

2016, Adventure, Drama, Suspense

The story is limited in how much it can interest it’s audiences.

2017, Fantasy, Animation, Action, Comedy

Narrative niggles and over sentimentality aside the film is everything you could want from a Batman comedy.

2016, Drama, Love

It's a slight disappointment that the writing here can’t quite muster up the engagement that this story deserves.

2017, Adventure, Action, Crime

I wouldn’t blame you if you hated this but with the right attitude you might just be able to find a little entertainment in it.

2016, Drama, History

The drama is good, the cast are better than good and the characters definitely allow for an interesting chemistry.

2017, Drama, Crime

Good writing, clever direction and a cast playing such much loved characters so well...

2016, Drama, History, War

A great example of how the power of film can expose spectacular true stories to much larger audiences.

2016, Drama

The drama is at times very enthralling but I have to conclude that this detailed character study just wasn’t for me.

2016, Animation, Drama, Music, Comedy

Decides to be as tiresome and empty as the talent shows it portrays and offers a similar level of entertainment, not much.

2016, Drama, History

For me, Natalie Portman’s performance in ‘Jackie’ is better than the film itself.

2017, Horror, Suspense

McAvoy’s superb powerhouse of a performance is equally as entertaining as it is terrifying...

2016, Drama

Tells this story in a most entertaining and engaging way deservedly proving why it has been receiving such acclaim.

2017, Horror, Suspense

With low expectations and the right attitude ‘The Bye Bye Man’ is harmless fun.

2016, Drama

A powerful and engaging drama including the themes of loss, grief and family.

2016, Drama, Comedy, Love

My personal experience aside though, there is no denying that this is a triumph on so many levels...

2016, Drama, Suspense, Crime

Whilst it is perfectly enjoyable and entertained me for it’s run time, it does little to inspire rewatches.

2016, Drama, History

Quite often a real delight. The story is one that deserves to be told and I feel richer for knowing it.

2016, Drama, History

The narrative is so enthralling, it easily warrants the running time present and will be the subject of much analysis for years to come.

2016, Drama, Science fiction, Love

Tells its story just fine, the content never reaches the potential of its interesting premise but is acceptable nonetheless.

2016, Adventure, Action, Science fiction

Has some weak characters and no real structure but it still manages to be the best video game to film adaptation I’ve seen.

2016, Drama, Love

It’s at times painful to watch such a talented cast spew such cringe-worthy dialogue...

2016, Adventure, Action, Science fiction

The Star Wars prequel that this universe needed and it could well rival some of the original trilogy in places.

2016, Comedy

Thankfully the talented cast elevate the funny, yet not hysterical, script into something quite watchable...

2016, Drama, History, Suspense, Crime, Love

The director gets his focus right and keeps things simple the film becomes a compelling watch.
