1st half was brilliant. 2nd half not so much, but I still had to stay afterwards for cheek-wiping. Deserves it's Oscar nom.

Moana is gorgeous, but there was a lot of style over substance. I found the songs a bit boring too. Give me Kubo any day.

I know Natalie Portman much more than Jackie O, so it seemed like a bad impression. I was very close to falling asleep.

I was distracted by how much he looked like Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder, but it will never be accused of being subtle.

Like a prequel to The Wire about a less confident Omar. I wish it was made like Boyhood so it connected the dots better.

Captivating. It's a tragedy, but doesn't go overboard on the heart-wrenching. Has a good smile to tear ratio.

Like Mad Men if Peggy was 3 black women/math geniuses. A bit overly earnest and wholesome for me to fully enjoy it.

Really well made and a fitting tribute, but it's hard to enjoy it too much when you know it's based on a true story.

1st half dialogue is so relentless it's exhausting. Don't walk out though, as the 2nd half it slows down and is really good.

It's fun at times, but not that funny. I had really high expectations, but found it too long and repetitive.

Mildly entertaining, but not scary at all. Maybe because I cared about Calvin more than the crew. Eddie Murphy version better.

If you have some time to waste, it's not a complete waste of time. Not enough Steve Wiebe for a Kong movie.

Slower than modern day superhero movies, more like Universal Soldier. A bit brutal for a family drama but still pretty good.

Like the Star Wars prequels, now that it's got the budget to polish the vision, it loses the raw energy and charm.

Way too corny. They take the easy option every time. It's sad when the characters have to provide a laugh track as well.

The best Alien franchise movie since the 80's. There's been a few sucky space movies lately. This isn't one of them.

It's got a little bit for everyone, which all add up to it being a pleasant little blend of smiles with a few tears.

It's pretty slow and low on scares, but it's smart and has occasional moments of brilliance.

Like an unfunny road version of The Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Sadly, not every NZ movie involves Taika Waititi.

Like a good secondary plot of a House of Cards season packed into one movie. When did Richard Gere become Dustin Hoffman?

There's a nice little fish out of water romance in there somewhere. Everything else is so long, slow and over the top.

The subject matter makes it hard one to enjoy. It's a solid effort, yet not in the same league as Spotlight.

Going into a dog movie, you know you're going to cry. It's too relentless in it's pursuit of those tears though.

Surprising slow, it livens up with more death in the 2nd half. Less justified deaths than the original, thus less fun.

The Freaks and Geeks inspired comedy of the first half was awesome. The action parts weren't too bad either.

I expected to be using it as a tax deduction for work, but it wasn't a complete write-off. Got me to chuckle a few times.

Kinda repetitive and repetitive. Highly predicatable, except for an infuriating twist. Tighten up your rules Piston Cup!

It's probably fine for kids, but I found it pretty boring and without any laughs. Not despicable, but disposable.

I get the feeling that the director is trying to hypnotise me, same as he tried to with Jackie. I don't like that feeling.

Very similar to Drive, which I think is a better movie. Tries very hard to be cool, when all I wanted was a Cornetto.

High on tension, but very low on dialogue. Unneccesary jigsaw puzzle too. Their Finest is a much better Dunkirk movie.

Not very forthcoming with details about what's going on, but it'd be the best The Walking Dead episode in years.

The first third had it heading for a Alma-like score. Then it turned into a drama and held on for a good Humph score.

Like LOTR in both quest & how drawn out it is. No need to spring for 3D, there's barely any action.

I had such high hopes, but the 1st half was so quiet and drawn out I even considered walking out. It got a bit better.

Nup. I like my movies where what you see on the screen is what's happening, rather than a big allegory for something else.

Good to see Tom Cruise back in the cockpit. It'd be great as a Narcos sub-plot, probably didn't need it's own movie.

Unbelievable, but not in a good way. I'm all for an underdog story, but at least let me believe it's possible.

Like a cross between Mystic River and Insomnia. Was tracking to be my favourite of the year, but it lost it's way a bit.

Recycled Groundhog Day jokes with Final Destination sequels-like scares. Always either too obvious or ridiculous.

It's weird, but it's just the right amount of sweet. Welled up with happy tears the whole 2nd half. It's dope as shit.

It's like an episode of True Story without Hamish & Andy. It's not that funny, but it's heart is in the right place.

Reminded me of Buffalo 66, but with an intense soundtrack. Pattinson was so good I'm almost tempted to watch Twilight!

The Stand By Me-ish bits are really good, it's just a pity the supposed scary parts are so over the top they're kinda lame.

Great Thai Ocean's Eleven style heist thriller, but it lost a few marks for being too long and over-dramatic by the end.

So unenjoyable when the few characters you get to root for get treated the worst. I just found it way too hard to watch.

I don't even like using my own social media let alone watching someone else use theirs, but as a drama I liked it.

It's a superhero movie with Waititi tendencies. I kept imagining how great a big budget full Waititi movie would be.

I only fell asleep once, but I was close many more times. Don't go see it straight after a 7 hour drinking session.

A few hours ago I gave it 75, but I think the comedy was so dark I couldn't quite see it until now.

Is the painting gimmick just to distract you from how boring it is? I felt like I shoulda been wearing 3D glasses.

I haven't even seen The Room yet, but this is a great movie on it's own without any prior knowledge.

Needed more McEnroe! Too much Borg and how they showed the match was a bit of a let down. LaBeouf was great though.

Maybe I'm biased because Lucky is just an older version of me. I woulda sung the Spanish version of Hotel California instead.

I mean it's fine, I just expected more. Little things annoyed me and there were a few laughable moments.

It got a few tears outta me, which was all I was really looking for. It's not that sad though, they were happy/sad tears.

Some great moments, but was mostly slow and tedious. I can finally cancel my Jennifer Connelly fan club membership.

It was always on the move, but it never got to a reveal before it was completely obvious. Far too slapstick, not enough tears.
