Clever
Brilliant
Great concept
The whole concept of Ant Man is fantastic, I really enjoy the story and the graphics. It's very imaginative. I'd love to know more on how this would be filmed particularly the kitchen scene for example. I like that real references and places are used to explain the scale.

Rolling Stone's 263rd greatest album of all time
Brilliant soulful pop album, including the phenomenal Fast Car, Talkin About a Revolution and Baby Can I Hold You Tonight, as covered by Neil Diamond and more famously Boyzone. The rest of the album is also superb and got me through a stressful trip to Tesco.

Just what DC needed
Contains spoilers, click to show
I myself am a huge DC fan boy and over the past couple of years I have seen ups and downs with DC. Finally after Wonder Woman and Aquaman, DC has started to get back into the grove. I have always wanted DC films to be dark and gruesome but Shazam is something of a charmer. It's funny fresh and doesn't try to hard to be something it's not. The characters are brilliant and the Easter eggs throughout the film are brilliant and would make any DC fan scream with delight. It's a great story of an orphan child and the difficulties faced but seeing what a true hero can be is great to see!

Amazing, instant classic
Let it be known I am a huge comic fan. I love the fact these movies are being reinvented and reimagined. The Avengers has left nothing to imagination, a brilliant way to introduce so many characters and giving so many ways for the industry to veer off in to.

The performances by the actors is phenomenal along with the visual effects.

The only downside is that I found the middle of the film a little drab, it seemed to take a little longer than I would of liked and slowed everything down a little much. The visual effects were brilliant however I just wish the storyline throughout the middle matched these ratings.

Brilliant
I appear to be having a bit of a run on Joe Dante films at the moment, but it would be rude not to watch Gremlins over Christmas.

This film is so much fun from start to finish. It's everything you'd want and more from a Christmas horror film - laughs, some festive christmas spirit and a whole host of gremlin gore and wacky deaths. Considering this was made in 1984 the special effects with the Gremlins are surprisingly impressive and very inventive. The scenarios that they get themselves into are hilarious. Admittedly considering it's now 35 years old there are parts that look a little dated, but overall this is such a brilliant and entertaining film and definitely a classic at Christmas.

Keeps you guessing
Brilliant cast
Not your usual storyline
Absolutely brilliant, could not recommend more!
I find with a lot of shows that it's easy to predict what the story is leading up to, but not with this one. It is unlike any other series I have watched and keeps you on your toes. Multiple times I thought I'd figured out where it was going but OH NO, another twist gets thrown in.

I cannot wait for the next series after the cliff hanger series 1 ended on. I'm sure it will be just as thought provoking and exciting as the first.

(If you like to read, I think people who like Manifest would enjoy reading 'The Three' by Sarah Lotz)

Its silly. Its meant to be silly.
The special effects are awful. They are meant to be awful.
Just suspend disbelief for 2 hours and buckle in.
Brilliant, funny yet scary film following a special ops team that get stuck in the Scottish highlands and soon find themselves being hunted by werewolves.
Sean Pertwee is outstanding in this film.
