Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
No Way Home is a testament to how enjoyable the "legacy sequel" can be when it respects what came before without letting it upstage the new(er) characters.

4/5
The Green Knight (2021)
The Green Knight tells an enthrallingly hypnotic cautionary tale about honor, packed with some of the most potent acting and craftsmanship likely to be seen in a film all year

The Last Out (2020)
The Last Out is an absolute curveball of a film (pun intended).

Vanguard (2020)
Comes close to having a few decent set pieces that typically end up bogged down by either terrible CGI, awkward camera angles, or severe disorientation

The Air I Breathe (2008)
The story has no emotional heft or philosophical investment upon which to base its contortions. Instead, it is a gimmick looking for a purpose.

Joker (2019)
It's provocative, disturbing, occasionally funny, sometimes heartbreaking and the way Phillips plays with the intensity dial is incredible.

Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)
It's not another powerhouse for the Gosling repertoire, but it is a funny, moving relationship movie that does its job ably.

If you want a fresh take on the utter insanity Invader Zim's original television run was known for, Enter the Florpus is definitely for you.

It's a great companion piece to the show and offers some great revelations and new insight.

The Dirt (2019)
Hurtles a little too quickly through the moments of substance in favour of fetishising the moments inspired by substances.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
The MCU has arrived at one hell of a climax.

Brexit (2019)
Cumberbatch's accent, in particular, is so minutely well observed that it deserves awards on its own.

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965)
I can't recommend it to Peter Cushing fans either as it is hardly his finest hour and he is in no way centre stage.

A Star Is Born (2018)
Cooper and Gaga are both fantastic in roles that ask a lot of both of them.

That said, the lack of a live action element and the transition to animation has allowed West's Batman to grow more bombastic, brilliant, and more brazenly silly than ever before

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

4/5
The Winter Soldier isn't simply a far more competent movie than its predecessor, The First Avenger, but is perhaps the most complete and assured MCU film since Iron Man.

Blair Witch (2016)
Like most strong directors going into the bosom of a franchise there's some feeling of restriction to Adam Wingard's latest, but pure terror still works its way through.

3/5
Sausage Party (2016)
If Sausage Party had been a twenty minute short it could have been a highlight of 2016. However, stretched to feature-length it's just another mildly funny stoner comedy.

The big question any self-respecting fan of The Office has is whether there's even a point. Well, rest assured - it's more Alpha Papa than Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie.

Suicide Squad may not be the end of the DC Extended Universe, but it does hurt it, really, really bad

Star Trek Beyond (2016)
Pegg has story and narrative structure down, although where he really wins is how he gives Star Trek back that philosophical side.

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
Perhaps it's fate that Independence Day 2 was released over a week before the Fourth of July, showing upfront how far Resurgence is from fighting to be good cinema.

Warcraft (2016)
While it may not be quite as damnable as some are making out (it's no 2016 companion to Fant4stic or anything), Warcraft is a pretty resounding disappointment.

For everything the film improves over the original, it ultimately winds up mired in the exact same problems.

You could say he's discovering the measure of a man. You could also say this is a head-bangingly dull movie full of nothing.

At the end of the UK press screening there were pockets of cheers from the crowd and I literally could not hold in an exclamation of "Are you f*cking serious?"
