    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★

    An incredible science fiction spectacle of the likes that I've not seen in my lifetime. I felt at times that Denis Villeneuve wasn't quite in full control of the pacing and it struggled to contain an enormous amount of content. That Part 2 is as big as it is and is comprehensible is frankly astonishing. Cant wait for my second viewing.

    Thor: Love and Thunder

    ★★★

    It’s been a while since I’ve felt any sense of disappointment with an MCU film and I’m sorry to say that Thor: Love and Thunder does feels like a disappointment to a degree. Taika Waititi struck gold with Thor: Ragnarock whose tone and style helped elevate both the character and Chris Hemsworth like never before and he seems to have tried the same approach here. What Ragnarock had and Love and Thunders lacks however is focus and restraint. It’s funny…

    We Need to Talk About Kevin

    ★★★★

    Perhaps the most unsettling film I've ever seen, unflinching in it's portrayal of the subject matter and filled with 2 outstanding performances. I haven't seen a film this scary in years.

    Captain America: Civil War

    ★★★★★

    The Avengers 3 this is not, it's firmly a Captain America movie that not only cements Captain America as the best MCU franchise right now but also reassures that Infinity War is in safe hands.

    This is a film that boasts the same bone crunching action that made 'Winter Soldier' so satisfying but here the character development of the MCU plays such a big part in ensuring that the violence counts for something other than just plain spectacle. Forget Batman…
