The Pirates! Band of Misfits (2012)
Rating: ★★★
May 12, 2012Aardman Animation/Gonzo Pirate Adventure
Amiable effort from England's Aardman Animations that doesn't quite scale the heights of their other films but still has an entertainingly nonsensical charm that is far more enjoyable than most Hollywood competition

The World’s End (2013)
Rating: ★★★
Aug 23, 2013Alien Body Snatchers Comedy
Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the trio behind Shaun of the Dead, return to conduct a very similar effort – the story of a pub crawl that is affectionately mocking the characters' nowhere lives, before taking an abrupt dogleg turn to become a comedic take on the alien body snatchers film

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)
Rating: ★½
Dec 14, 2013Epic Fantasy Adventure
The Hobbit became Peter Jackson's equivalent of the Star Wars prequels and this is the weakest work he has produced under the J.R.R. Tolkien banner. Five picaresque chapters of the book are extruded into bloated set-pieces

Rating: ★★½
Dec 20, 2014Epic Fantasy Adventure
After two bloated and over-padded Hobbit films, Peter Jackson finally gets it together and produces what everyone was expecting him to deliver, even if it means dragging one battle scene out to last an entire film

Captain America: Civil War (2016)
Rating: ★★★½
May 14, 2016War Between Comic-Book Superheroes
Less Captain America 3 than The Avengers 3 – the entire film has been conceived as a massive superheroic punch-up. The results move with an exhilarating pace, but the Russo Brothers haven't yet mastered Joss Whedon's hand with character humour

The MCU’s sequel to Black Panther. This offers the peculiarity of a work in which the superhero of the title never actually appears and is instead set around his absence following the death of Chadwick Boseman
