Uncharted (2022)
Great fun movie
Went into this with moderate expectation, big fan of Tom Holland, Mark Whalberg not so much but actually they work quite well together. The action and story is similar to National Treasure, the action sequences are pretty great but what I felt let it down a little was the 2 dimensional villains. Antonio Banderas seemed on auto pilot and Tati Gabrielle was even worse. Overall though if you're looking for a couple of hours of mindless fun then this should be right up your street.
Moonfall (2022)
Great Fun
If you go into this movie expecting anything other than cheesy acting and a preposterous story the you will be sorely disappointed. If you go in with your brain in neutral then you might just have some fun. Halle Berry brings a little gravitas to her role but Patrick Wilson and John Bradley ham it up for all it's worth. The special effects are pretty good and no one does end of the world stuff like Emmerick does. It has something that a lot of other movies lack, s sense of fun. It knows it's audience and never pretends to be anything other than a popcorn flick.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
An enjoyable romp
Having been a Star Wars fan for over 4 decades I entered the cinema with high hopes and those hopes were not dashed. This is a great conclusion to a not very well planned trilogy. Lucasfilm seem to have had no plan going into this other than let's have 3 filmmakers make a film each. This does seem like a strange plan for a trilogy. Although there clearly was no story plan J.J. and Rian have delivered 3 highly enjoyable and entertaining movies culminating in TROS. This film first and foremost is a great piece of entertainment aimed at healing some of the divisions from TLJ, which I loved by the way. I have read many a review on here basically trashing the movie saying once again it has killed the franchise, but I can honestly say the franchise has never been healthier I for one will be waiting with baited breath to see where in this galaxy far far away we get to go next. For now disengage brain and enjoy what Star Wars has always been about, having a fun time in the cinema
Aladdin (2019)
Great fun
I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed the updated version of this classic. Went in expecting it to be a tired rehashing of the classic animation but instead it was vibrant, colourful and thoroughly enjoyable. The leads had great chemistry and made me believe the story. The songs were delivered with conviction and I came out of the cinema with a great big smile on my face.
