It's essentially a Cool Runnings version of my favourite movie Rudy. Sometimes things like that will make me want to yell "It's a Rip Off!!!!!!!!!" from atop the nearest building, but Taron Egerton does such a great job as the titular character that I can't help but love it.

Unbelievable, but not in a good way. You'd be much better off just watching The Big Lebowski again, than it's ripoff.

This little Kiwi dramedy is a bit unrealistic, but funny. It's like a comedy version of The Revenant.

It's like a new Turkish version of The Virgin Suicides. Not as dark and arty though, so I liked this one much better.

Long, slow, foreign, b+w. Film lovers will love it, movie lovers probably not. I'm somewhere in the middle.

Like deleted scenes from the Wilson section of Castaway, cut for being too crazy. It won me over with its weirdness.

Like The Commitments done by the band from School of Rock without Jack Black. Great soundtrack and a pleasure to watch.

Too dark in the cinema for a dictionary, so a lot of the jokes went over my head. My brain hurts, but it's good.

Horror sequels are often just a waste of time, but this one is pretty good. Not overly scary, but really well made.

If the bad guy from Wolf Creek had've played the Jodie Foster role in Panic Room and somehow it was really good.

It's solid, low-key and admirable, just like the man it depicts. It has sullied my ideas of flying to Melbourne this weekend.

A bit like Brett Kirk as a captain. Alternative in his philosophies, but always led with his heart and delivered.

Great doco where low-key, sarcastic Kiwi humour works so well up against the seedy world of competitive endurance tickling.

Might've been ok as a short movie, but I had too much time to be frustrated by key plot points and lack of dialogue.

Like an updated version of Contact, but very slow and deliberate. Saved itself with a better 2nd half. Watch Signs instead.

Like Justified if Raylan was on the other side of the law. Or No Country for Old Men crossed with Idiot Box.

Haven't read the book and certainly won't now. For all the attention I paid, I felt short-changed in the end.

Super impressive, like a darker version of Kung Fu Panda. Made me wish I had've learnt guitar origami.

The funny ha ha of the lovely and quirky 1st half is far too outweighed by the funny strange of the underdone 2nd half.

If the book from the Never Ending Story was set in Wolf Creek. They should've cut out the start, not the ending.

Interesting story, really well told. First time through it's worth watching, might lack rewatchability though.

The opposite of "It's funny because it's true." Instead it's too true to be funny. Good movie, but hard to enjoy.

If it wasn't based on a true story you mightn't believe it. War parts are almost too good for how tender the rest is.

A pompous Neo running around in Inception. The stunning visuals outshine the story, so see it in 3D if you can.

Like a less comedic version of an all Lindsey episode of Freaks and Geeks. I don't think I'm the target audience.

If you like old time musicals, you'll love it. I found myself wanting to watch Whiplash or Blue Valentine again instead.

Ever wondered why the death star was so easy to blow up? Or what the mission to Endor would've looked like without Ewoks?

Looked pretty, felt pretty boring. So slow and overly dramatic I had trouble staying awake.

Nice little Japanimation romance/sci-fi. Seemed long, even when they fast-forwarded through the bits I found interesting.
