An overly long missed opportunity that could have done a much better job at telling us a story and instead opted to skirt around all the stuff that made the book dark and thrilling.

Transformers delivers an engaging movie experience with thrills, spills and robot explosions, no more than you would expect but it hits the spot if that’s what you wanted.

Salvation manages to pull the franchise out of the gutter with a good-enough performance supported mostly by the action and special effects.

It was never going to be easy to turn the Hitchhiker’s Guide into a movie and while it was a decent attempt there are too many changes and not enough laughs to make this a true classic.

A fast paced, well executed action sci-fi flick, with emphasis on the -fi and the characters, this franchise reboot gets it right in so many ways.

A lackluster movie which suffered for having had most of the story told previously and also failed to deliver any real tension.

An above average action adventure which Jolie keeps moving when the plot and other characters begin to drag, The Cradle of Life is inconsistent but fun.

A lot of people didn’t like I, Robot but personally I thought this was a decent sci-fi action thriller with some nice twists and some excellent scenes, certainly better than average with much of the uplift coming from Smith.

Keanu does well in a role that could have been created for him, and despite the changes from the source material Constantine is a good interpretation of the comic book with some worthwhile scenes and some surprising twists.

This excellent action comedy delivers a high quality script, excellent interaction between Mr and Mrs Smith themselves and some memerable moments putting it well above the rest of the pack.

A lightweight vampire/monster action comedy with few surprises that is let down by the premise at the end and redeemed only by Hugh, Beckensale and the superb David Wenham.

Sing a lament for what might have been, for what could have been; Max Payne is good looking but the screenplay lacks consistency and integrity.

Quantum of Solace is better than Casino Royale, picks the story up just after Casino finishes and runs with it at an incredible pace until finally bringing it to a satisfying end.

With a slow and linear story this 2001 version was generally disappointing and the ending left me frustrated and unsatisfied.
