Rating: ★
Jul 20, 2012Animation/Prehistoric Talking Animals
This is not a film, it is a money-making machine in the guise of a film aimed squarely at undiscerning family audiences that plays to familiar characters and comic routines and has minimal difference to the preceding three Ice Age films

Nov 30, 2013Disney Animation/Fairytale Adaptation
Disney animated film that supposedly adapts Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, although Andersen wouldn't recognise it. This often feels like a ramshackle assemblage of formula elements rather than the classic it was hailed as

Jul 25, 2015Alien Invaders Bring Classic Videogames to Life

May 27, 2017Fairy-Tale/Disney Live-Action Remake
This live-action remake of the Disney animated film is mounted with a lavishness. On the other hand, the romance at the centre never fully warms up, while the human characters have the show stolen from under by the cutlery and furnishings

Jun 20, 2020Young Adult/Child Genius vs the Magical Underworld
Adaptation of the popular Young Adult series about a twelve-year-old super-villain and his adventures with assorted magical creatures. Audiences hated this but I though it overspilled with a madcap creativity
