Skyfall



Released 26th October 2012
BBFC rating 12
Directed by Sam Mendes
Skyfall was probably one of the most anticipated Bond films to date, having to be better than Quantum of solace, as well keep the promise of going more into James Bonds past. The film starts off very strong, with an opening sequence to start off the film's events as well as delivering a gripping action sequence to keep the audience satisfied, and to keep in line with the previous entries. The movie then goes into a very intense phase, becoming very realistic and making the viewer think more in an action movie. This manages to stay throughout the film, and makes it better than Quantum, delivering more emotion as well as a great villain played by Javier Bardem, and strong returning performances from Dame Judy Dench, and a more sophisticated version of Bond from Daniel Craig. Overall the film is interesting, makes sure that the view knows what is happening when they should and manages to keep them enticed for the whole feature, which is why for me it is one of the best Bond films to date.
Contains violence and mild bad language.
My rating 8.1/10

Top Gun: Maverick

Image
 Released: May 27th 2022 Directed By: Joseph Kosinski Cast: Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Charles Parnell Legacy movies seem to be all the rage these days (Past massive cinematic universes that is). Some of pulled it off really well, with films like Blade Runner 2049 almost being better than the original, some not so well like independence day resurgence, some being a bit of fun to pass off as alright with Jurassic World, and some being The Force Awakens. How these movies do well is another story, now though the latest movie to try its hand at a legacy reboot is Top Gun. No matter what you think of the original it is fair to say that the cultural impact and quotability is much greater than any plot point in the originals story, with not much to go on past some manliness and jet fighters. Top Gun 2 however is a completely different story. From the get go you know the stakes are higher and actually manages to make the "fish out of water" old guard trope...

Deadpool 2

Image
Released 16th May 2018 BBFC rating 15 Directed by David Leitch Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz After the overwhelming success of the first Deadpool film, the second instalment was inevitable, with the same formula that made the first one great. The film revolves around Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool ( Reynolds ) attempting to save Firefist ( Dennison ) from time travelling assassin Cable ( Brolin ). While using similar ideas and call-backs to the first film, this one feels completely different, and in some senses more like Deadpool than before, filled with more references and nit pics to Dc than before, and arguably better action. The film also remembers to not take itself too seriously like the other one did, with more events in the film which try and mess with the timeline as much as possible without caring about the outcome. Overall the film does well to be entertaining, maybe more so than the last one, keeping good action flowing thr...
