Ah nostalgia! This is not a great movie by the standards of great cinema, but it’s great fun and good to see back on the big screen. An enjoyable 7.5/10.0

Hugh Grant was really good, I was not expecting him to play a credible lowlife. Michelle Dockery was good, but I can only see her as Lady Mary, so it didn’t work for me (my fault). She was fantastic in Godless, so not sure why I wasn’t getting it here. Overall, a good film.

A good film, not a great story. Visually stunning, a great demonstration of the film makers art, but it has some odd lead casting. To be fair, it is a also bit flat and/or clumsy in places, particularly with some scenery / lighting. I was expecting higher, but 7.5/10.0

What a fantastic start to 2020 movie-watching! A very funny, almost madcap, yet very sad and disturbing film. A great movie. A dark but fun 9.0/10.0

Throughly enjoyed this film. It was a bittersweet end to a saga I’ve loved almost my entire life. Sure, there were some dark periods in past movies (Jar Jar Binks…) but not here. This is a great movie that delicately ties up the series, with a nod (and several awesome cameos from stars of the original 1977 movie) to the...

This is the kind of movie that makes you smile in the first few minutes, and keeps you smiling all the way through, with some laugh-out-loud moments as well. Great writing and pacing, great casting and acting, and a little sentimental. What more could you ask for! An easy 8.0/10.0

What a great movie! A Whodunnit in the classic mould, with Daniel Craig channeling Poirot with perfection. This is how cinema should be: great casting, great plot, great pacing. The denouement is clever, but a little drawn out if I’m being picky, but enjoyable nonetheless. I particularly liked the classic Christie retrospective at the end, explaining the clues the writers...

A simple premise really, but well paced and well executed. You could see the twist coming a mile off, but the quality of the direction and acting carried this through really well. An enjoyable 7.5/10.0

Great performances from Matt Damon and Christian Bale, against a well paced and well shot piece of cinema. Very enjoyable and entertaining. A very well deserved 8.5/10.0

What a stinker. Everyone looked as if they were chanting “remember the pay cheque” as they delivered their lines. This movie was bad from every angle. I’m being kind by giving this 3.0/10.0.
