Deadpool & Wolverine

Deadpool & Wolverine; Fan service in a good way, delivering all the expectations plus many surprises. The fights are gratuitous, the cheeky asides hilarious and the meta moments glorious. A bromance for the ages that strangely maintains superhero cliches it simultaneously subverts. Great pairing; A-

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse; Another groundbreaking tour de force that builds on its predecessor while amplifying its core heart, humour & feast of animation excellence. Less satisfying since it’s an instalment starter, but a great launching point for what’s to come; A

Strange World

Strange World; Fantastical creatures and landscapes feel fresh yet familiar in this exploring adventure film. Themes resonate in their combination of old and new beliefs, with family relationships at its core and bigger planetary questions weighing overhead. Good fun; B+
 

Deadpool 2

Deadpool 2; Surprise is gone but the antics amuse and additions work well. Action pieces deliver and dialogue zings at an amazing pace. Worthy sequel; A-
