Movie reviews of Hamish Calvert

The action too was a big disappointment and the way in which it was filmed and edited squandered its massive potential.

A delight.

The cast are as strong as ever, the writing is of a good quality...

The cast and characters are a very mixed bag but they have decent enough chemistry to make a sequel that wasn’t hateful...

The strong leading and supporting cast really help to make the film likeable and watchable.

So refreshingly original, weird yes, but original.

The action and humour blend well together and the surroundings always look convincing.

With a poor narrative and script there is little anyone can do to salvage the film.

So whilst there are a couple of funny elements too many of the other gags fall flat.

The film does improve thanks to its finale but even this had potential to create a more entertaining experience...

With a strong supporting cast too the 86 minutes running time flies by as everyone makes this movie such a good time.

For each poor element in the action sequences there is a good one too and the scenes with the aliens were all entertaining.

A blissfully mad combination of stories tied together by a strong cast and a grounded score...

Big dumb popcorn fun and I’d happily sit through it all again!

The animation and score combined together in a wonderful way...

A welcome breath of fresh English air amongst a usually dull genre, cynics of the period drama...

The cast are largely fine, there aren’t any outstanding performances.

Thankfully the next turtle action sequence is never too far away and these are all a lot of fun...

Good old fashioned original film and it doesn’t get much better than this!

Good performances all round, a good focus on comedy and a generally interesting narrative...

I don’t think it’s an awful film but more of a missed opportunity.

A fun fantasy flick with a solid narrative which should satisfy the casual viewer.

A very entertaining film.

Tom Hanks is nearly always a watchable lead regardless of the film...
