Film Reviews by HM

An excellent novel becomes and excellent film. Set in the late 18th Century or thereabouts, you find yourself interested in the social manners of the day before being drawn into an emotional conflict. Who is good or bad? Who is misguided? You may find yourself reflecting on your own preferences as the script manipulates your innate sense of justice and moral code.

The tired X Men series comes to an end, or at least it should. Hopefully the youngsters seen in this movie will disappear or maybe become a TV series? This movie is heartfelt but more violent than its predecessors, also makes use of heavy bad language. Basically it is a chase movie, very exciting and ruthless in its disposal of likable characters. A more adult outlook than previous efforts.

Action, tension and chase on an adult level just about sums it up. I found it engaging and entertaining throughout.

Very silly and then some! Sure it is ridiculous on purpose but clichés; baddies cannot shoot straight etc. For the kids really

Daft premise undermines the serious subject. Lots of movie stars whose charisma saves the day. Does give the brainbox a work out, but indulges in silly stuff which could have been left on the cutting room floor.
