Good set design
Decent Exorcism Film
A decent enough film overall raised above many of this type with the touch of class Russell Crowe brings to film.
Good SFX and not relying on jump scares, loud noises for frights. Based on the books by the real man who did exorcisms for the Vatican for 30 years.

Good cast
A very decent film in it's own right, and no it's not a straight remake! If you watch the first film again today it sure does look dated now. The main theme or plot is similar but put into a different context and setting altogether. The technology you see in the film was very interesting as well and there is plenty of action and very good SFX. It has a few nods towards the old film but seems to borrow elements from a number of Sci-Fi films including Blade Runner, especially for the look of the city. Even Star Wars Attack of the clones, Robocop. Throw in Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale, it's not a bad way to treat your eyes for 2 hours!

A decent Sci-fi thriller
An ok film overall with a strong cast and good special effects. I wouldn't say the creature design was great, maybe they thought it would be more plausible? The big problem is it has been done better before many times. It's quite a predictable film but it's well made.

Christoph Waltz
Good Sfx on the whole
A decent update of a classic story
A decent update of the Tarzan story. An impressive cast including Margot Robbie but it's Christoph Waltz who steals the show. Some big action scenes are good but on the whole it's rather predictable and some scenes are a bit silly.

Scarlett Johansson
A true blockbuster film
What more could you ask for from an action film when you have Iron Man, Capt America, Thor, Hulk Black Widow and Hawkeye teaming up to battle an alien invasion. Ground breaking action scenes but thankfully backed up with an engrossing storyline. A must see!

Feb 20, 2018
A very enjoyable action film with some great SFX and a brill car chase. You really need to switch your brain off though as it is all very unbelievable. Some might see it as a Matrix wannabe, no bad thing, but it's not up to those levels. Still a good film and worth watching if you like cool, action films

A fun addition
A decent fun film with probably the most light hearted of the Marvel heroes. It's enjoyable and as good as the first film. Only slight downer was the action felt fairly limited to a few big scenes. Which are done very well, but thought there would be a little more in the film.

Live action GTA
A real blast of a film with so much going on. I saw a trailer a long way back and thought it could be fun, but didn't expect such a blockbuster film.
It's a real mix of Ready Player One meets the The Truman Show. A non playable Character in a game suddenly becomes alive and decides to make his own decisions after encountering a player in the game.
The film is funny and will be especially fun for those who do play video games. Feeling like a real life version of a GTA game. The SFX to recreate so much crazy video game action in real life is great.
Definitely an enjoyable film worth seeing at the cinema and one I can imagine watching multiple times in future.

Very funny!
Hammer time!
This film was an absolute blast! Packed with action, lots of characters crammed in and very funny throughout. It's such a stark contrast compared to the last Thor film. It has a great blend of elements from the Avengers films and similar in style to the Guardians of the galaxy films. Don't miss it!
