Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) - 8/10
Slow to get going and a lot more artistic than traditional in its presentation, but when it does get going, it becomes something spectacular.
Miller’s artistic vision and style is captivating and whilst the action scenes aren’t as good or as frequent as in ‘Fury Road’, they are still very enjoyable and have this different surreal style to them, almost stop-motion at times.
The story is a bit lacking, but has some good themes and both of the lead actors were great, although they did take a while to grow on me.
The world-building and iconic characters stand out for their peculiarity and whilst long, I was entertained throughout.

Deadpool 2 (2018)
I've seen it quite a few times now, but I was in the mood to watch it again with the third film coming out soon.
8/10

Civil War. Not sure what to expect, didn't see any trailers, but like Garland's stuff generally. This was good if a little underwhelming towards the end. 8/10
Train to Busan. 7/10.
Good fun, but feel it loses some momentum after the strong guy door scene and overall it’s a little too long. Enjoyed it on the whole though. Heard the sequels are awful, so may not go any further with the series.

Surely with the ending and the tunnel, they’d never be able to verify anyone…

Pacific Rim Uprising (2018)
I've seen the first film a couple of times and it's pretty good, but not enough to be that bothered with the sequel.
The second one is truly awful. John Boyega, annoyingly, shouts almost all of his lines and they're all utterly ridiculous. In fact almost all of the dialogue is dreadful and most of the acting is terrible. The plot is wafer thin, full of holes and beyond stupid.
The only decent thing in the entire film is the visual effects.
I can see how this bombed and ended up a cartoon series on Netflix.
2/10

I get that part. But anyone who doesn’t think to sing in a frickin’ tunnel then gets shot? Really? 
It just made me laugh.
That and the drama of the Dad falling off a very slow moving train a couple of feet when he’d turned.

Boy Kills World (2024)
Fairly standard revenge plot with a few unique elements and some of the best fight choreography I've seen.
6/10
I actually saw a trailer for it when we went to watch The Fall Guy, so I'm surprised to see it came to digital streaming so quickly.
Did it even have a theatrical release in the UK?
Also disappointed The Fall Guy came to digital streaming less than three weeks after I saw it at the cinema. It's not exactly cheap to go to my local Odeon at £43 for two tickets to an iSense showing, plus £3 to park.
