Four Film Reviews

Hi guys

I'm slightly behind on my film reviews so will give a quick review of the four movies I've seen in the last month or two at the cinema.
All of them are sequels and three are in a film series.

First up ........

Took my daughter to see Incredibles 2 the long awaited sequel to the 2004 smash which was fun although in my opinion wasn't quite worth the wait.

It had some good moments in but I saw the twist of who the bad guy was near the beginning. 

The funniest moments were Mr Incredible babysitting. 

Overall fun for the kids but the wait wasn't worth it.

Bels Score   -   9/10

My Score     -   6/10

Another sequel but more enjoyable and with some good laugh out loud moments as Draculas family and friends persuade him to go on a vacation on a cruise trip.  He reluctantly goes but falls in love (or Zings) with the Captain Erika.  Although she isn't who she appears to be. 

Again this was quite predictable and some of the side characters don't get as much to do including Frankensteins Monster and the werewolf Wayne.

Overall not as good as the first two films but fun all the same.

Bels Score   -  10/10

My Score     -  7/10

The Sixth instalment of Tom Cruises Mission Impossible films tops the previous films in way of stunts and fun.

Tom again staring as Ethan Hunt with Simon Peggs tech guy Benji and Rebecca Ferguson as Isla the film starts with a double cross and a loss of nuclear codes.  The IMF team are under scrutiny and Henry Cavill is brought is as CIA Assassin August Walker(great name) who opposes what they are doing. 

With great set pieces including an helicopter battle and bike chase the action doesn't let up plus there are loads of double crosses even I didn't see coming.

 This is the best in the series so far which is good considering the first three films were a bit bland. 

Overall best in the series but how long can Tom keep up these stunts?

Score   -   9/10

This I would class as a sequel to the Winnie the Pooh films as it has a grown up Christopher Robin played by Ewan McGregor who has largely forgotten about his childhood friends and now a busy manager in a company with a wife and daughter of his own.

He has forgotten what it is to be a child and a family man as he puts his work first.  As his wife and daughter go on holiday without him Pooh magically arrives when he needs him the most. 

After finding Poohs friends Tigger, Piglet and the others it becomes their mission to make Christopher Robin his old self.

This is a great feel good movie reminding us that family should come first even before work which in these times is a welcome reminder.

It also has great performances and CGI and reminded me of the recent Paddington Bear films.

Although not a great deal happens and you can see what's coming up,  it has some funny moments.

Overall a fun family movie.
