Avatar: The Last Airbender

A wonderfully detailed world and magic system woven around a story that will entertain any age, a classic that definitely doesn't disappoint.

Moomins and the Winter Wonderland

A whimsical dive into the wider Moomin universe, though a bit too threadbare and bizarre for anyone but kids to really enjoy.

The Witcher: Wild Hunt

An exceptionally well-crafted story, with brilliant characters, fantastic world-building, excellent humour, genius side quests, and more memorable moments than I can count. Combined with one great expansion and another that could easily be classed as a standalone game of equal calibre, and the final package is one of the greatest gaming achievements I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Truly outstanding and the top of its field.

Glee

An average start leads into a genuinely great middle season, even if some of the jokes/storylines now feel a little dated and/or problematic, with some stunning performances, fun homages, and surprisingly intelligent trope-busting narratives. Then it all goes wrong. Seasons 1-3 are worthwhile, but call it a trilogy and end it there.

Baywatch

A paint-by-numbers action film with a ridiculous premise that is saved from utterly drowning in mediocrity by two great leading actors and the occasional moment of self-awareness.

Tag

Funnier and more suspenseful than it had any right to be, though ultimately it's still a silly film about people playing tag.

The Lion King (2019)

Technically brilliant with some nice additions, but did we really need a shot-for-shot remake with some surprisingly disappointing voice acting moments? No, not really.

Ocean's 8

A formulaic film in a formulaic franchise. Still, probably the best attempt since the first outing and the cast are great.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters

An interesting thought experiment played through fairly well, but beyond the fan interest there isn't much novel here.

Arrested Development

A great cast and some genuinely entertaining (albeit farcical) plot lines, but never really captured my imagination or triggered my funny bone. Perfectly watchable.

PokΓ©mon: Detective Pikachu

An attempt was made. It's beautiful and the actors are great, but it feels a little aimless in its wanderings.

Toy Story 4

Lovable as ever, with plenty of laughs and heart, but I can't quite stop questioning what it actually brings to the franchise.
