Dean (6927 KP) rated Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) in Movies
Feb 17, 2018
The games a foot!
A great all too little known film from '86. Set in Sherlock Holmes school days setting the story background as he becomes the worlds most famous detective. I remember seeing this at the cinema and it is just the sort of film full of action and adventure everyone should love. Steven Spielberg was involved in the production and it shows. This film has a feel to it like the Mummy and Indiana Jones films. It also has some very good SFX for the time, including very early use of cgi. If you have missed this film then you are missing out, track it down!

Amazing sets, costumes and character design
A very good sequel
A very good sequel to the first film. It's a very pretty film to watch with a lot of good cgi effects for the various kingdoms, creatures and sets, which look great. The cast is good with Pfeiffer stealing the show. It does introduce a lot of new characters and some from the first film have much smaller roles this time out. It's very enjoyable if a little bit predictable and maybe not with a grand ending. Still well worth catching at the cinema even if it's not quite as spellbinding as the first one.

Disney's school for gifted yougsters
Disney's sky high is a story about a pre-hero teen who is set to attend a school for future hero's & maybe some villains.
a brilliant coming of age story that centres on pride and ambition told in a way only Disney can.
Plenty of fun and live action Disney style sfx make this a great family movie.

Zombie Heist
This looked like a good mix of action and zombies on the trailer. It is a fun film with a simple plot. Las Vegas is now a walled off Zombie zone and before the place gets nuked a team are formed to gather 250 million from a casino vault.
When the action is going it's a fun film with some great scenes and some new twists on the Zombie gerne. At nearly two and half hours long though there are a few lulls between the action. Not quite the action packed Zombie blaster it could have been but definitely enough to satisfy the fans.

Thor The Comedy
Another fun and very lighthearted Thor film. There are some good action scenes and good to see Natalie Portman as Mighty Thor. Christian Bale does well in his role and steals all his scenes. It is funny with the typical humour of Guardians of the Galaxy and the last Thor film.
Unfortunately it just tries to be funny constantly, almost every scene and some of it just becomes a bit silly. Making it more of a comedy than a Superhero film. Still enjoyable but needs a better balance like Ragnarok to hit the mark.

Silly little creature scenes
Not the Jedi film you are looking for
I had heard some very poor reviews before seeing it, but not from people I tend to agree with. You can't go too wrong with a star wars film, Phantom Menace aside. There are some cool fights and interesting storylines. However there are some scenes that were unnecessary, especially with weird little creatures that didn't fit. Sadly one big plot line didn't make any sense at all. It would have been nice to see a few more lightsaber duels, or Rey training especially for a long film. Overall it's an entertaining film but not great. Still prefer Rogue one over this.

Feb 4, 2018
Another solid film in the Narnia series. The first is my fave, as I know that story so well, the 2nd had some good battle scenes and a bit more action. This is entertaining but in a different way to the others. I found the new cousin in this rather annoying and it's a pity many of the characters of the previous films are not in it that much.
Otherwise it felt a bit like the Sinbad films for me, a great looking ship, plenty of creatures and traps and riddles to overcome before a big finale. The SFX are very good, especially for the green mist effects. Overall a great family adventure if not quite on the level as the first two in my opinion.
