    King Arthur: Legend of the Sword

    ★★

    When I saw this back in 2017 on its initial release, I found it to be an odd but overall enjoyable fantasy action film that was a bit better than the negative reception had made it out to be. Re-visiting it again after all these years I sadly find myself siding with the critics on this one.

    I had written a review for this back at the time, but given that my thoughts have changed, I decided to write a…

    Michael Bay directs a war movie part 2. Better than last time in fairness.

    Starts off very solid, and then ends with a climax so well done and so exciting that it actually made me bump up my grade.

    Congratulations, this film actually got me to really care about Top Gun.

    With all that said, can we have Mission Impossible 7 a few months earlier please? I need it badly

    Goodbye How Train Your Dragon.

    You were all consistently fantastic animated films and some of the best to come out of DreamWorks Animation.

    You were all beautifully animated and beautifully told, you gave out a world that had a great mythology to it and showed off all these wonderfully designed dragons, each having something that makes them unique.

    But at the heart of it all, the strongest element was the bond and friendship between Hiccup and Toothless and how they…
