“Unlikely to win over new fans, but this R-rated version feels like the director’s unfettered vision for the story”

“An enjoyable, light-hearted & fun ride that provides the nostalgic greatest hits that fans wanted”

“Nothing you haven’t seen a hundred times before – Jessica Alba really deserves better”

“Original, slick & hugely enjoyable, powered by charismatic central performances & an inventive script”

“An objectively flawed guilty pleasure, with enough interesting ideas that it never feels entirely predictable”

“Although the tone is a little inconsistent, Millie Boddy Brown’s performance carries the film, while the script inventively subverts the genre cliches”

“A fairly straight-forward action/spy movie that doesn’t quite live up to its fun initial premise”

“Interesting world building, beautifully shot action sequences, and a cast that throws themselves into their roles make this a blast”

“A satirical, sci-fi-conspiracy comedy/thriller – like a cross between The X-Files & Black Mirror, shot through with a hefty dose of Shaft”

“An enjoyable rollercoaster ride of non-stop & inventive action sequences – rarely has a sequel been this much of an improvement on the original”

“Despite its flaws, there is a certain amount of pleasure in simply seeing Idris Elba don the iconic coat once again”

“A surprisingly dark fairy tale that explores grief, fascism, free will, individuality & parental love”

“Unexpectedly clever & inventive, this is one of the best high school comedies of recent years”

“A vampire action comedy where the inventive action sequences & odd-couple humour make up for a weak plot & inconsistent lore”

“The plot is fairly straightforward, but this is a simple premise executed really well, with a charismatic cast, cracking dialogue & impressive action sequences”

“The comedy may be broad & not to everyone’s tastes, but it also feels like there’s some truth behind this spoof of the making of a Hollywood blockbuster”

“It’s rare to see a film that is firing on all cylinders as well as this one – an absolute joy from start to finish”

“The movie equivalent of junk food – full of empty calories, but the stars are fun to watch on a globetrotting adventure full of double-crosses, action & comedy”
