“An improvement on the originally released version, providing a more satisfying & engaging viewing experience”
“Unlikely to win over new fans, but this R-rated version feels like the director’s unfettered vision for the story”
“An enjoyable, light-hearted & fun ride that provides the nostalgic greatest hits that fans wanted”
“Original, slick & hugely enjoyable, powered by charismatic central performances & an inventive script”
“An objectively flawed guilty pleasure, with enough interesting ideas that it never feels entirely predictable”
“Although the tone is a little inconsistent, Millie Boddy Brown’s performance carries the film, while the script inventively subverts the genre cliches”
“A fairly straight-forward action/spy movie that doesn’t quite live up to its fun initial premise”
“Interesting world building, beautifully shot action sequences, and a cast that throws themselves into their roles make this a blast”
“A satirical, sci-fi-conspiracy comedy/thriller – like a cross between The X-Files & Black Mirror, shot through with a hefty dose of Shaft”
“An enjoyable rollercoaster ride of non-stop & inventive action sequences – rarely has a sequel been this much of an improvement on the original”
“Despite its flaws, there is a certain amount of pleasure in simply seeing Idris Elba don the iconic coat once again”
“Younger audiences should find plenty to enjoy in this homage to the supernatural coming-of-age films of the 80s”
“A surprisingly dark fairy tale that explores grief, fascism, free will, individuality & parental love”
“Plenty to keep audiences entertained thanks to the film’s great cast, fun tone, brisk pace & timely social commentary”
“Unexpectedly clever & inventive, this is one of the best high school comedies of recent years”
“A vampire action comedy where the inventive action sequences & odd-couple humour make up for a weak plot & inconsistent lore”
“The plot is fairly straightforward, but this is a simple premise executed really well, with a charismatic cast, cracking dialogue & impressive action sequences”
“The comedy may be broad & not to everyone’s tastes, but it also feels like there’s some truth behind this spoof of the making of a Hollywood blockbuster”
“It’s rare to see a film that is firing on all cylinders as well as this one – an absolute joy from start to finish”
“The movie equivalent of junk food – full of empty calories, but the stars are fun to watch on a globetrotting adventure full of double-crosses, action & comedy”
“A stylised western with an all-star cast, that should appeal even to those who think they don’t like cowboy movies”
“A charming & entertaining post-apocalyptic film that is also surprisingly uplifting for these current times”
“The cast is great, but many of the ideas feel familiar, & the film’s bleak tone won’t be to everyone’s taste”
