    It's an enjoyable film with great performances from Robert Pattinson and Naomi Ackie. However the film is very heavy handed and clearly is having a go at some political figures which makes it hard to buy into at certain points.

    I got to say, it's solid remake of the original film. It's got the right ingredients for an Evil Dead film and any fans of the series who are yet to watch this will enjoy it. However I do miss the humor of the original trilogy, instead this opts for a bleaker tone (Which works) and some grisly kills. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

    Better than 3 stars but certainly ain’t 4 stars. Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart and Anna Farris are all entertaining in this so and so romantic comedy. I think Reynold’s character does come across as kind of mean and womanising but I think it was unintentionally written and performed that way. It’s an average and easy watch but it’s nothing special but it’s fun.

    What Fast X completely lacks for it makes up for with just how fun and over the top the action scenes are. Jason Momoa seems to be having a great time and John Cena’s relationship with the son is actually quite nice but still this is a Fast and Furious movie and it’s no surprise it’s full of mind-numbing stunts and cheesy dialogue but hey that’s what people love about this series! At the end of the day it’s just…
