Sing 2

Sing 2; Another fully stuffed animated explosion of symphonic colour that somehow manages to offer many characters their own tidy storylines. Movie works best operating in music video style montages and pantomime. New voices are welcome alongside the returning stars. Very fun; A-

Thunder Force

Thunder Force; McCarthy’s delivery makes most anything funny. The flimsy premise and telegraphed plot exist solely to service the comedic talents of McCarthy and Bateman. Unironical use of the music is baffling, especially Dreams by The Cranberries. Silly, throwaway comedy; C+

Ant-Man and the Wasp

Ant-Man and the Wasp; Thrills big and small. Heart and humour. Replays the hits from the first film with a few new visuals. Always uses the talents of the cast so well. Relationships believable and what makes the subject matter so enjoyable; A-

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle; Fun casting makes this action comedy work. Too much shown in the previews and trailer but still funny and action packed; B

Daddy's Home

Daddy’s Home; Ferrell and Wahlburg make a great team and play off each other well. Unnecessarily goes to mature areas it doesn’t really need to making it feel undecided if it’s for families or adults. Either way it works but choose one; B-
