A hot mess. Some great characters, some excellent acting, and some decent parts. But also some terrible characters, some terrible acting, and a terrible plot in general.
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part II
A feature-filled smorgasbord of Batman plotlines, executed solidly, albeit not as thoughtfully as Part I. Worth a watch.
There's nothing specifically wrong here, it's just that nothing ever works and the whole concept is tremendously dull. Also, apparently, completely forgettable.
Action-packed fun that can just be enjoyed for what it is and the great cast it has, plot holes aside.
A beautifully acted, powerful insight into an incredible friendship, placed within a practically perfect film. Top marks.
The MCU's grimdark, broody antihero gets a definitive take thanks to Netflix and the excellent Joe Bernthal. Season one comes highly recommended.
The first season is astounding, riveting, memorable, funny and utterly fantastic. The third almost lives up to that praise. The second has its moments. Overall, its an extremely solid take on the Man Without Fear and must-watch television for superhero fans.
Tim Minchin: So F**king Rock
An enjoyable but not particularly memorable live show from a brilliant performer.
A surprisingly intelligent dissection of adolescence, puberty, and high school with a dark and lewd sense of humour that has utterly won me over.
A bold new direction for a beloved franchise. It falters a little, but the characters it creates are interesting and the stories are solidly entertaining. For fans, a worthy watch; for everyone else, enjoyable enough.
A highly enjoyable series of short films, each with a sci-fi edge and a unique style, which makes the series ever-inventive and interesting to watch.
Devilishly good fun with a great lead, some surprisingly deep analysis of the Biblical character of Satan, great characters, and a format that triumphs despite its absurdity. Well worth a watch.
