Baymax + Mitchells = Ron

It just about gets a pass because it's a pretty good take on our increasing obsession with screens, how internet fame can affect people very negatively, and how having a tonne of online connections doesn't mean you have real friends. I'm glad Tabitha saw it, given that she's about to enter that whole world.

This is an absolutely beautiful film. Straight away it's one of my favourite sci-fi because I like it slow and with purpose. I don't need a tonne of story, subtext, all that. I just want something coherent with a ridiculously talented director of photography.

This immediately goes up with 2048 and Arrival as beautiful, simple stories of substance. If you liked those then I don't see how you wouldn't enjoy Dune. It's so beautiful and intentional I just don't see how you could not like it. Like if you don't; fine, but we're unlikely to see eye-to-eye on any films.

It felt like this was about 4 hours long. It's an entertaining amalgamation of multiple films and it is pretty unashamed of it.

Honestly, Ed Sheeran's cameo is about the most funny thing in it. Look I get it - Dwayne Johnson looks like a meathead but he's smart and funny. Ryan Reynolds is handsome but he's smart and funny. Gal Gadot is beautiful but she's smart and can kick your ass.

Aren't you tired of this shit? Of being repeatedly sold the same fucking thing, and you watch it because it seems like something you'd like, and they take that view as affirmation and make it again and again and then you watch it again and again. Is this what movies are now? $200m cash grabs designed to waste my fucking Friday with a Venn Diagram of shit I've already seen? Sunrise, sunset. I'm over it.

One of the better Marvel films, but it did feel long. Loved the fight choreography, and the editing. Anything that intersects with Doctor Strange does it for me.

Wasn't expecting to like this in the slightest but ended up loving it. A shame that they sent Emma Stone to the Dick van Dyke school of British accents, but everyting else was a very conceivable origin story. Beautiful costumes, set design, and an incredible soundtrack. Emma Thompson plays a wonderful Evil Julie Andrews. And I've never wanted to see three dalmatians die before. I normally love dalmatians. Before you get on at me, I know it's not the dog; it's the owner.

Enjoyed this. I mean it's deep as a puddle, and the premise is almost incomprehensible, but it was fun and had some pretty decent bits of choreography.

My main criticism is Jared Leto's Joker. I feel like he is capable of making this character his own, but this Marilyn-Manson-impersonating-Heath-Ledger angle was not good at all.

Other than that, I'd watch a sequel. Which is fortunate as I think they made one.

The top review says "like every Lin-Manuel Miranda project, it could've used less Lin-Manuel Miranda", and I can't agree more with that. The guy is lyrically Van Halen - it's all very technically impressive, but after a while it becomes noise.

You can tell a Lin-Manuel Miranda song a mile away: lots of cool wordplay, syncopation and internal rhyming. It must take a lot of work to write a song like this, but when you catch yourself thinking "I bet they set this in Miami just for this wordplay", maybe it's not difficult; maybe it's just contrived.

I always conflate this with Sunshine, and have never seen it before because I'm always like "I've seen it".

Absolutely loved this. And what a ridiculous cast. Not exactly sure when I started to enjoy films like this but I really do now.

The trailers made this look a bit like something designed to make you cry and nothing more, but it was so relatable in so many ways. The screenplay is really amazing, with how it shows you the perspectives of all the characters. I would have loved some more closure on a couple of the threads, but it had to end at some point. Really recommended but I was crying basically the whole way through. I am a crier at movies though.

Couldn't help feeling like parts of this were incredibly unrealistic (the end, for instance), but I still enjoyed it. Feels like it was on the verge of trying to make a really big point about many things that I should have a better awareness of, but just didn't.

And Hindi is such a beautiful language. I love how they randomly cut between it and English and everyone just keeps up, but understanding someone who's just speaking English is a challenge.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. We recently watched every Marvel film in internal chronological order, so they're all very fresh in my mind. There's obviously a lot of variety in these films, and there are many I would rewatch for all sorts of reasons, but this one doesn't make any of those lists.

Feels less like a coherent or compelling story, and more like just a bunch of things that happen. When Marvel is putting out things like Loki, it's hard to take this seriously.

At the end of season three, I felt there was a need for this film. I wanted to see how everyone's story ended but we all know how it ends. It ties everything up nicely and neatly, and exactly how you'd expect from every character.

But I can't help but feel disappointed. It's hard to feel satisfied with a reminder of the futility of everything. We're all doomed to sacrifice so much in the name of progress whilst others profit. We're all doomed to lose things we love, unfairly and at random. And we're all doomed to die.

So I suppose the inevitability of each character's arc is as much a comment on life as it is lazy storytelling. We each make our beds, then spend our lives using the enormity of change as an excuse to stay there until it's too late. Each of our stories as on-rails as the trains that carried the progress Deadwood feared, but to which they ultimately acceded.

Awful. Just watch the first one again.

Every time I see a new Miyazaki film, there's one prevailing takeaway: why didn't I watch this sooner? His ability to drag beauty from banality is unparalleled in any medium. Visually these works are incredibly beautiful, and the story is so simple but so lovely.

I feel like this is a lesser-known Ghibli and that's a mistake. It's easily up there with some of the more fantastical stuff they've produced.

I will never understand why this film is so highly regarded. Dialogue delivery so emotionless it's got Hayden Christensen looking like DiCaprio. Never, at any point, was I under the impression that Bond feels anything for Vesper, or vice versa.

The only redeeming feature of this film is ripping into it with Charlotte, which is always fun.

I'm going to need some time to think about this one. Damn this guy knows how to make a film though. Engaging story; just-about-followable in places, beautiful cinematography, loved the soundtrack. Reminded me of Dark and Primer in the format and theory. Super satisfying film.

Another solid Spider-Man. I absolutely hate reality-altering stuff though. Hated it in Batman, and hate it in this. It really stresses me out.

Still I love Jake Gyllenhaal, and I still love Tom Holland. I love Zendaya and it was nice to recognise Angourie Rice from The Nice Guys. Another super fun action film. I wish they were making more with Tom Holland but I don't think they are.

Enjoyed this a lot. These Into the Spider-verse folks really know what they're doing. Solid road trip story for kids, great soundtrack, and one part made me laugh so hard. Definitely one to rewatch.

We watched every Marvel film in chronological order but I didn't log any of them, for some reason. I might go back and do it but I don't think Disney+ will give me dates.

I loved this. Been indifferent to the past Spider-Man films but Tom Holland was really good, and it was just a fun film. And Michael Keaton isn't allowed to be in bad films so this had to be good.

It's a good thing this film laid out early on that it had no intention of making me think even for a second. Two very flat social commentary jokes saw to that, and I was free to switch my brain off and watch all the pretty explosions and plot points that come from nowhere and disappear just as quickly.

This is an action movie, sewn from leftover threads of movies that had much loftier goals, and it's just fine the way it is. I read a few reviews of this a while ago that seem to have been disappointed that it wasn't The Matrix or Inception or something, but you don't need very long with the film to know that it isn't trying to be that. It's big stupid fun and I enjoyed it as that.

There can't be many of these I haven't seen by now. I do enjoy Miyazaki's "learn to live with the earth or be consumed by it" stories. He's like a Japanese David Attenborough who makes me care about being better, but doesn't make me feel like I'm the problem and it's all mine to solve.

The soundtrack on this is very eclectic as well, which I appreciate. It's usually the classic symphonic score but this also has an interesting mix of 70s and 80s electronic and late 80s rock/metal which is surprising since it was made in Japan in 1984.

I really enjoyed this the first time I watched it. But that was a lot of years ago now. The score is absolutely beautiful though.

Enjoyed this a lot. Concise, doesn't try to explain impossible things. You can see it all coming a mile off, but that's OK. Ethan Hawke is great.

There's so much to dislike about this but I feel like you're supposed to. Absolutely loved the ending even if it was a complete slog to get there.

If George Lucas isn't a socialist, he's the most cynical piece of shit in existence.

Pointless film. Constantly spools up like it's about to make some grand reveal then repeatedly lets you down. I watch films to escape life's futility but all this did was remind me about it for two hours.

I just don't know if it's worth the time spent on it. It's entertaining enough, which almost distracts from the fact that it's 17-year-old deep. Almost. Like I get it. Everyone's a slave somehow. And every slavemaster doesn't see their slave as a person, and that's a problem. And it's never going to change. And when it looks like it might change: surprise; it's the same. But that's also slavery. When you look at it from the outside, the solution is very simple. Let's just not any more.

If you're looking for subtext, this is The Matrix for people who prefer period dramas to sci-fi. I can't help but compare it to The Fountain, which deals with similar themes from a different angle. Unlike The Fountain, however, The Wachowskis aren't able to drag convincing performances from their comically overrated Big Names. Aronofsky gets an emotional performance from Hugh Jackman in The Fountain, and it's beautiful in spite of his shortcomings. He's an everyman, overwhelmed by his predicament. I think I'm right in saying that Halle Berry and Tom Hanks have never given a convincing performance. There are times in this film where, if you'd told me Halle Berry was reading an autocue, I'd believe you.

I will say, though. Ben Wishaw is beautiful in this. He's so convincingly tortured, right to the very end. Won't even let himself have one final bit of happiness in case it changes his mind.

I think it's important to note that someone smarter than I am could potentially call this a brilliant piece of film-making. But for me, an armchair intellectual, it presents too many disconnected notions and never attempts to tie them together. It's all very beautiful and Wachowski-ish, but I'm not 17 any more. Maybe 17-year-old me could explain it to 35-year-old me.

I absolutely loved this. I wasn't expecting to but I couldn't say why. I love these slices of real life that just tell a story, but this one is a goddamn all-you-can-eat buffet in terms of characters. Every character is so deep and, most importantly, so real. Performances are amazing all round. I don't think there's a single weak performance in the whole thing.

In the interest of not being obsequious, it annoys me how the timeline jumps around all over the place. I don't know if that's present in the source, but I found myself a few times watching a scene and then realising that we were in a different time than I thought. It was a bit irritating, but not so much that it'd put me off emphatically recommending this wonderful film.

I feel like such an idiot for not watching this sooner.

The most ridiculous plot, and so very 90s. Russia and North Korea conspiring to steal technology from the US, only to be foiled by a child?! If I had a penny for every film with this plot! But it was fun - we all enjoyed it.

I've had a passing interest in Go since watching Pi, but I don't know how you play or even what the objective is.

That's how you can tell a good documentary: it gives you enough information in context, with pace to keep you engaged, so that you can follow and appreciate why what you're seeing is worth seeing.

This made me want to learn more about Go, but also showed me the futility of learning! Very enjoyable documentary.

I don't even know what sort of comedy I like but this got me laughing. I like his "I'm an idiot" voice, and the bit about cutting in line is me at every theme park ever. This is solid observational comedy. Not shitty Michael McIntyre.

Frankie Boyle seems desperate to grow out of his shock-value material, but never quite manages it. Wants to have his cake and eat it by delivering these jokes then acknowledging the problems with them. I feel like in 2 or 3 tours he could do something really special, but it's just not quite there yet.

Still plenty of laughs, and I never usually find him even remotely funny.

Bad. Just really bad. It's the sort of premise you'd come up with in a pub when you're on your way to hammered, but then most people would sober up and realise it goes nowhere and abandon the idea. I would say it's funny how much I hated it but that'd be crediting it with a laugh it didn't earn.

It was still pretty good, and any film that contrives to combine close harmony singing, John Michael Briggs and Elizabeth Banks is going to be able to hold my attention for a couple of hours. Still I think I prefer the first one, for that classic teen-outcast-on-a-path-of-self-discovery storyline.

This whole film is a mood. Immediately added to my Friday Night playlist for when I'm feeling good and I want to keep that going. Loved every minute of it.

Awful. Maybe the longest film ever made.

It was fine I guess. I'm not a huge fan of things where the message is "they had everything they needed all along". I don't think I'd watch it again.

Never seen any incarnation of this. I enjoyed it but the pacing is totally rushed in the back half. I don't know if that's consistent with other versions of it. I liked the story and the songs though.

More enjoyable than it has any business being. If you hate this I just don't get it. It's kids doing magic. Grow a heart I mean Jesus.

I loved this. Nice to have a simple story that makes you like two characters and ends nicely.

Where's Hugh Grant been hiding that?! Yeah it's a Guy Ritchie film for 2019, yeah he's using underrated actors. We've all seen True Detective.

It's a classic Ritchie gambit, and if you like that sort of thing I think you'll like this.

I love Matthew McConnaughey I love Colin Farrell I love Hugh Grant (apparently)

Charlie Hunnam neeeeeeds an accent coach.

Wonderful. Abstract, whimsical, obscure and frank exactly when it needs to be. Absolutely loved it.

Looks like it's just going to be some pointless Dreamworks-style romp where they pick an animal then animate some nonsense about it for two hours but it's actually quite beautiful. Couple of nice tearjerker moments, and Everest sounds like a Goron from Ocarina of Time so that's nice.

I was not expecting this. Didn't look at my phone once the entire time. Daniel Craig's accent was solid, apart from one slip. Great story, unfolds wonderfully, and what a reprehensible bunch of people.

These spin-off Star Wars stories are my favourites. Rogue One, Mandalorian, Solo are all great stories that operate with a satisfying - but never overbearing - nod to the central premise. Donald Glover played a great Lando, in an enviable wardrobe.

When I watch films like this they make me feel like the biggest idiot in the world. Should you watch it? No it has Rob Schneider in for Christ's sake. No-one should.

Did I enjoy it? Yeah it made me laugh a load like a private joke I've been telling since I was 9 years old. If you want to watch the version of this that is actually a good film, watch Forgetting Sarah Marshall. If you want to watch a version of this where you can take a bunch of codeine and find Rob Schneider's missing fingers funny, watch The Wrong Missy. Or Deuce Bigalow.

Or both if you have a lot of codeine.

The trailer made this look like an interesting concept, and Ryan Reynolds is usually pretty reliable for me but I absolutely hated this. There were a couple of amusing moments in it but overall I thought it was absolutely dreadful.

Didn't expect to like this but there's a lot of cool details in this that appeal to a lifelong fan of the game series. I love that movies are concentrating so much on sound design at the moment; I love how this movie sounds.

It's basically The Fast and the Furious but suitable for kids. I'm glad they changed Sonic's design; he looks way better now.

The visuals of the credits are excellent, too. Whoever designed them should make a game please.
