Four Weddings and a Funeral
An enjoyable romp with some excellent character moments, spoiled by having a central romance that felt stilted and immoral at the best of times, but then saved by a brilliantly emotional and heartfelt funeral scene.
Mulan (2020)
An attempt to appeal to the widest audience possible ultimately feels lacklustre to everyone. Not awful, but a far cry from the animated classic it's attempting to evoke.
Big Hero Six
A brilliantly fun story that hits all the right beats that just happens to also be one of the best superhero origin movies out there.
Frozen II
A solid sequel; even it does retread a little of the same ground, it achieves enough world-building to overshadow any slight irks to craft a more original but just as fun story.
Frozen
An instant classic, with a banging collection of songs and a brilliantly modern reinvention of a classic fairytale. Excellent stuff.
Last Christmas
They tried really hard to come up with a novel way to make the Wham song Last Christmas into a movie and it sort of worked.
Onward
A fun film with a great cast and some very imaginative modernisation of traditional fantasy tropes. It may lack the normal depth and spark of a Pixar film, but it's far from being a waste of time.
Black Panther
A beautiful and iconic introduction to one of the more interesting MCU characters, with epic action and a plot that adds some much-needed real-world impact to the MCU.
Rocketman
A fascinating look into the life of one of music's biggest stars, made real by a brilliant cast and incredible leading performance by Taron Egerton.
His Dark Materials
An outstanding adaptation that genuinely stands up to the books, with a brilliant cast and exceptional design. The world of Lyra Silvertongue, a world of dæmons, armoured bears, witches, and cities in the sky, hasn't felt this real, this tangible, or this magical since I first read The Northern Lights.
The World's End
Still funny, still action packed, and still with a great cast... but a little of the magic has slipped at this point. It's a competent close to the Cornetto Trilogy, but it will forever be overshadowed by the films that came before it.
