Flash review

Bullet to the Head: Disappointing, the concept has been done before, and better. I was expecting a lot more from Stallone and Momoa. 2 Stars **

Star Trek: Jumpy, not as smooth as expected. Watched solely because the advert for the up coming sequel looks amazing, hopefully it will outshine it's predecessor. 2 Stars **

Star Trek: Into Darkness: My hopes were not shattered! Benedict Cumberbatch, special effects and a great story make this an anomaly- a set in which I prefer the sequel! 4 Stars ****

The Croods: An excellent family film, another brilliant animation with potential to continue such as Ice Age and Madagascar have. Witty, heart warming and aesthetically beautiful! 4 Stars ****

G.I.Joe: Retaliation: Although unfortunate that Channing Tatum doesn't appear throughout this was still a successful sequel. Action packed, witty in places and great use of slow motion fight scenes. There were, however, a lot of cheesy moments and Bruce Willis' cameo was short lived and fairly pointless. 3 Stars ***

Les Miserables: Beautiful. Expertly executed, exceptionally acted. 5 Stars *****

Django: Witty, clever and with a perfect balance of action and story. Hopefully a cult classic in the future. 5 Stars *****

Olympus has Fallen: Superb! Gerard Butler seems to be back on the ladder to the top! 4 Stars ****

Evil Dead: A disaster. Cheesy to the point of no return, ridiculous and rushed. This is the movie Cabin in the Woods mocks. At two points I felt there was potential for a decent movie: the tree scene (die hard original ED fans will not be disappointed), and the hyperventilated breathing by the girl in the woods. Therefore, half a star for each moment. 1 Star *

Lords of Salem: Unfortunately Rob Zombie appears to have lost his touch. This odd and creepy addition to his work left a lot to be desired. From the little I read, the book seems much more violent and gruesome. 1 Star *

Admission: Witty, moving and easy to watch. Since Role Models Paul Rudd has done OK films, never quite reaching the height of comedy he rode in on, this follows suit. Tina Fey surprises and there are a few good laugh out loud moments. 3 Stars ***

The Iceman: Cool, slick and harsh. Reminiscent of classic mob films with a surprising cast! My only criticism would be footage from Kuklinski himself could have enhanced the true story vibe! 3.5 Stars ****

Epic: The title is misleading. There was nothing epic about this animation. Some of the characters were brilliant (especially the slugs!) but were lost in a rather pointless and disappointing story line. 2.5 Stars ***

Hangover 3: Hilarious! Back on form although nothing will ever compare to that initial film this came close and smashed the predictable sequel out of the water! The Wolf Pack delivered! 4 Stars ****
