    Power over Spice is Power over all.

    I don't think any other film this year will top the masterful achievement that is Dune: Part Two. This film has became near enough my favourite sci-fi film.

    Do I still think it's better than The Iron Claw? In all honesty, yes. Yes I do. The two films are incomparable but they both have something in common: a commanding lead character at the top of their game within their respective film who transcends…

    I find it so ridiculous that this did not get an IMAX re-release and instead, they had Snow White playing in IMAX. Nonetheless, Inception is just a different experience on the big screen. The soundtrack remains incredible and the acting all around is superb.

    It's also easy to weed out the people who are seeing this film for the first time when the guy next to me audibly gasped then stifled his laughter when Cillian Murphy got shot.

    I find it absolutely insane how a film with no dialogue can achieve something of this magnitude in terms of emotions and overall messaging. Gints Zilbalodis made some very wise decisions, such as making a cat the main character, or main animal to focus on, which paid off significantly. Flow is a gorgeously animated film that is surprisingly clearly communicated despite the no dialogue gimmick. This is the first time I've probably watched a film this experimental but it was…

    ½

    The only positive I find is that this film basically ended before it even really started. Going into it, I didn't really give it a chance after reading some less than ideal reviews, and it's a good thing I didn't.

    Nothing worked. Literally nothing. Borderlands gave me no reason to see it as a comedy. Trap was a good comedy. This goes from action comedy to emotional drama. I mean, the tone is all over the fucking place. I didn't…

    ★★★

    I knew exactly what I was expecting and I got what I came for. I'm pissed off though because I missed part of the big kaiju fight towards the end as I was queueing for a drink and the queues were so long. Doesn't mean I wasn't still able to see how great these fights were though.

    Goofy is the word I'd use to describe this entire film and probably even the entire MonsterVerse as a whole. It will never…
