The Phantom of the Opera (1990)

The Phantom of the Opera (1990)
Rating: ★★½
Jan 5, 2026Disfigured Madman Beneath the Opera House
Lush tv mini-series with Charles Dance as the Phantom, this stands too much in the shadow of the then recent Lloyd Webber musical and its making The Phantom into a romantic figure as opposed to a horror icon

Crimson Rivers II: Angels of the Apocalypse (2003)
Rating: ★★
Dec 15, 2005Biblical End Times Serial Killer Thriller
Luc Besson scripted sequel to the serial killer thriller The Crimson Rivers. However, in director Olivier Dahan's hands, this emerges as a empty-headed series of shock images and random action scenes

May 5, 2011Miniature Magical World
This was the second of Luc Besson's Minimoys films, partly animated children's films set in a world of miniature creatures. Here the charms of the first film seem thinly stretched

Paddington (2014)
Rating: ★★★½
Jan 17, 2015Talking Bear
From the awful slapstick-heavy trailer, the prospects for this seem dismal – less Paddington Bear than a reprise of the live-action Yogi Bear. The finished result confounds expectation and the story of a small unassuming bear at large in the world comes full of considerable charm

Beauty and the Beast (2014)
Rating: ★★★★
Jan 18, 2015Fairy-Tale
Adaptation of the fairytale that takes place in an exquisitely dreamy sumptuousness – a stunningly designed, costumed and photographed world that has a genuine magic. However, the motion-capture animated Beast looks far too much like a CGI effect

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
Rating: ★★★★
Nov 18, 2017Space Opera/Comic-Book Adaptation
It was a box-office bomb but this is one of the most breathtaking and completely designed SF work to ever cross the screen. In terms of effects, sets and costuming, Luc Besson gives us a work that is an overwhelming treat for the eyes
