An interesting enough film but the problem is that the source material is just far superior. Read that, skip this.

A show cancelled just as it was getting started and a definitive casting for the titular character that will be hard to beat. Even if we're never going to get to find out what happens next, I'd still recommend it for those interested in folklore and myth or just the comics themselves.

Unfortunately focuses on budding love interests rather than the real stories at the heart of the plot and the parallels of Snape, Dumbledore, Draco and Harry. Very much a setup movie for the big finalé.

The worst adaptation in the franchise. Not terrible, but the scriptwriters clearly forgot to check that what they had left actually worked once they got it to fit within the timeframe of a movie.

Turns out, this is my favourite. A dark yet relatable plot, with a strangely realistic vision of evil in Umbridge, make for some very interesting social commentary and a much deeper, more personal experience. Harry Potter grows up!

Still the best-directed film of the series, with some truly stunning cinematography and thematic linkages, but the plot feels a little less well put together than I had remembered.

Some stilted moments, but a worthy enough successor that greatly improves the world-building and nicely increases the stakes.

A solid entrance to the franchise which has held up surprisingly well whilst maintaining a genuine sense of mysticism.

A beautiful, clever and refreshing introduction to some of DC's biggest names with thought-through and interesting character development. It's just a shame about the surprise Aquaman!

An enjoyably different war film with a solid and much-needed message, though let down a little by straying from reality in ways that never really add up.

A decent retread of Superman with just enough heart and thought to be entertaining, though at times inconsistent and never novel.

Crazy, stupid, fun. A feel-good film that stands slightly taller than it perhaps should, thanks in large part to a fantastic cast.
