A fun partial-reimagining of a classic that deftly closes several plot holes and updates characters cleverly, even if it does occasionally slip up.

A fine movie for kids, with some adorable and surprisingly funny creature design, but a fairly paper-thin plot.

A fun, often ridiculous experiment in expectation subversion, with an equally over-the-top cast and perfectly acceptable set of core characters, ideas, and jokes. Enjoyable end-to-end.

An interesting dive into Demacia and the evils of oppression, though a little lacking in true depth.

The ridiculously sublime adventures of Rick Castle and his much more qualified friends. Not exactly high art, but a whole lot of fun, with greater depth and better plots than it needed.

The sitcom of a decade. Has it aged? Yes. Are some parts a little problematic? Sure. But could it be any funnier? I mean probably, but it's still brilliant, funny as anything, and a great nostalgia trip that just about manages to hold up throughout the ridiculously long run.

A masterwork of storytelling and creative direction, with some exceptional skits and a poignant meta-narrative on isolation, mental health, and the pandemic, though a little lacking in Burnham's trademark stinging wit and wordplay.

A beautiful fantasy world, but lacking in the depth needed to really invest in the story. Just watch Avatar: TLA instead, it does the whole thing better.

A decent fleshing out of two interesting characters from the MCU, with a solid ending and some powerful themes, yet ultimately let down by a lacklustre first half and a generally poor, rushed execution.

A by-the-numbers college caper that's fun enough, but falls far short of the original and just feels a little loose in its own right.

Utterly inventive, brilliantly funny, and beautifully crafted. The central plot is a little by-the-numbers, but everything else is as original as they come, and the movie shines as a result.

A competent fleshing out of the wider Star Wars narrative in a way that gives a lot of much-loved characters room to breath. Nicely builds on the themes of the prequels whilst setting in play the themes of the original trilogy at the same time.
