Cutesy but boring
Critic review by Tom Huddleston - Timeout
Read full review: https://www.timeout.com/london/film/the-boss-baby
‘The Boss Baby’ is one of those snarky, post ‘Shrek’ cartoons that desperately wants to appeal to parents as well as kids, but its snappy, pop-culture-referencing script feels workshopped to death (there’s a running joke about Gandalf that’s bafflingly unfunny). Undemanding kids might get a kick out of its jazzy, restless visual style and poo jokes, but grown-ups may well find themselves taking some impromptu nap time.

A Return To Form
This movie is a lot better than the trailers show it to be, MacAvoy’s performance is gripping, electric and believably diverse. This is Shamylan’s return to form and is up there in terms of quality with Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense. The script isn’t amazing, but the actors do well with the material that they have and the production is on point. Good sound mixing, cinematography and direction. Gets a bit silly in places but is justified by the film’s end.

Good, but the best bits are in the trailer
This is a fairly solid film for Tom Cruise, with a great script and a very interesting and fun way to tell this intriguing (and almost unbelievable) story. I feel Domnhall Gleeson is a little underused, and my main issue with this is that all of the funniest parts were in the trailer. I know this is standard for lots of films, but with American Made it felt like ALL of the humour was in the trailer, which kind of ruins that aspect of the film.

Favorite Show!
This is by far my favorite show. I have been hooked since Episode 1, Season 1! The drama, the romance, the suspense, this show has it all! And season after season, the writers bring something new to the show whether its a new character or a story line that keeps us hooked and wanting more! People may say this show has run its course but I for one cant wait to see what else this show has in store for us!

After Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn left X-Men: The Last Stand because of its rushed production schedule, Fox decided to bring him back to direct this reboot of the series. Things worked well overall, though the introduction of James McAvoy as Professor X did draw some criticism. Michael Fassbender’s role as young Magneto went down very well but fans still missed the original actors. The film was nicely paced but without a compelling villain, the overall script suffered.

It's rare that a superhero film has no bad points and you actually care about the supporting characters,this film is just that ,Michelle Pfeiffer looks great (so does evangeline lilly) and Michael Pena adds some really funny comic moments to a film that is already a funny film ,all in all a great sequel to a great superhero film only let down by the character of Ghost ,with an all star supporting cast like michael Douglas and Lawrence Fishburn it's a great way to spend 2odd hrs
