Damsel
(2024)

Just as you'd expect
I am a fantasy movie type of person and a huge Ray Winstone fan, but this movie is such a waste of his talent and even more so for Angela Bassett.

It's as you would expect for a Princess / Dragon movie you can tell what will happen in the first five minutes and then it becomes dull and predictable.

Millie Bobby Brown is OK but for me she is a one dimensional she is the same in every movie she's been in and it's unfortunate, she does not seem to want to challenge herself and so picks movies where she don't have to try to hard.

The CGI is good and the dragon is well designed, but the movie is not the best but it will kill a little time whilst your waiting for something beeter to come on.

In finishing don't expect too much from this movie and you won't be disappointed, if you want to watch a fantastic princess / dragon show watch Game of Thrones.

The Suicide Squad
(2021)

Not great
The only saving grace for this movie is Margot Robbie and Idris Elba other than that it's garbage, if this is the way things are going to go at the DCU now James Gunn is in charge it doesn't bode well for the quality of future films from the DCU.

There is nothing really in this movie I can honestly recommend, Margot is the quintessential Harley Quinn but even she cannot save a bad movie and bad writing, there were some nice scenes but more often than not it's just a horrible movie, I don't really see why the other reviewer's have given this movie such high marks other than they are James Gunn fans which again I don't understand that either.

Batman: Soul of the Dragon
(2021)

Don't Bother (just don't)
OK so it's not as bad as Batman Ninja, but it's close, Batman is reduced to a bit part, in this movie, it's a character called Richard Dragon. I'd like to say something good but it's just a bland movie, if you want to see a good Batman animated movie i'd go for Batman Gotham Knight.

Collision Earth
(2020)

Awful, Just Awful
If like me you read the reviews and think "It can't be that bad, it's got Eric Roberts in it", well believe the reviews and don't waste your time. And in all seriousness someone give Eric a better story than this,,,

Avengers: Endgame
(2019)

One great scene is not enough
I had very high hopes for this movie when it started at one minute past midnight on the day of release. It just took so long to get started (for me). Now let me just say I LOVE MARVEL MOVIES I've seen them all at the cinema , I've bought all the DVD'S and I know that Endgame will be the last we'll see of certain stars in the MCU but this film was too long and in some parts downright depressing. Captain Marvel did not get enough air time for me, neither did Black Widow and The Hulk looked a lot smaller than he did in Ragnarok, these are just some of my observations and I've many, many more. The best part of the movie was the Battle at the end, it just a shame it took so long to get there.

Star Trek: Discovery
(2017)

Am I missing something??
I'm aware how passionate people get about their favourite shows, I've seen all the Star Trek series from TOS to Discovery and I've loved them all (some more than others to be honest). That's why I don't get all the 1 star reviews for Discovery, the show has been brilliant, the acting was great and the stories were also great. It's a welcome addition to the Star Trek family

Assassin's Creed
(2016)

Just take this movie on face value.
Firstly I LOVE the Assassin's Creed games, I've purchased everyone and still play them. That being said I'd read all the critics reviews and everyone panned this movie as total rubbish, which just goes to show what critics really know. I enjoyed this movie, if you want just some escapism this movies for you, the story is great easy to follow and keeps (generally) to Ac lore. The action is great and the acting is good. So watch this if you just want to be entertained.
