Moomins on the Riviera

An amusing and acceptably surreal entry into the much-loved series. If you (or your kids) are a fan then definitely worth a watch, but this isn't quite an instant classic.

Green Lantern: First Flight

Give it a miss unless you're a total Green Lantern fanboy, and even then don't expect anything great.

Florence Foster Jenkins

Absurdist fun that somehow actually happened, resulting in a nuanced, heart warming tale with exemplary performances throughout.

The Good Dinosaur

A stunningly beautiful but fragmented film with surprisingly conservative leanings. No boundaries pushed here apart from the technological ones.

Planet Earth

Visually and audibly stunning; season one pushed the boundaries so much it still feels relevant, whilst season two presented a more intimate and mature version of the natural world. Arguably the gold standard in nature documentaries.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

A spectacular and surprisingly intimate look at the characters that usually lurk in the background combines to form an excellent addition to the growing franchise.

Godzilla (2014)

A fun but basic monster movie, where the kaiju have more personality than the humans.

Wonder Woman (2009)

Diana is actually well written and Nathan Fillion is great as ever, but ultimately Wonder Woman fails to justify its plot in any meaningful way.

How I Met Your Mother

One of the best sitcoms ever. Season eight feels a little tired, but it pulls it back for the finale and provides what I feel is an extremely satisfying ending. I will miss these characters and I'm sure will revisit the show in the future.

The Lego Batman Movie

A clever look at both Batman and superhero motifs in general tied together in a funny, clever kids movie with a surprising amount of heart.

Mortdecai

It just doesn't work. I'm not sure why, but the humour falls flat, the plot is banal and the end product leaves you utterly indifferent. The definition of meh.
