Creed ****
Creed is what every Rocky fan has been waiting for – a chance to bring the franchise back to life, as well as relive the glory days.
Category: Action
Spectre ****
Retro-sexy Bond complete with blast from the baddie past.
Maya The Bee ***
A nice, safe, simplistic cinematic homage to Bonsels’ character. While Maya might be remembered for her sunny-yellow, can-do attitude, the rest can’t necessarily be said about the particulars of the film.
The Martian ****
Nothing, it seems, human or inanimate, goes to waste here, making The Martian a very satisfying watch and a return to the Scott glory days.
Terminator Genisys ***
Gives fans nothing new to chew on, just a little more Terminator action and Arnie worshipping.
Spy ****
Spy is an espionage hoot with lots of action, silliness and Bond-style antics. It’s easy on the brain, consumable comedy with strong female leads that’s always a breath of fresh air in Hollywood – something Feig is instrumental in pursuing.
San Andreas ***
Clichéd, predictable and rather daft sometimes, but its cast is easy on the eye and characters promote family values – with a little shake up of the earth beneath their feet. It’s an easily digestible flick that ultimately makes some of us relieved we aren’t living in the Sunshine State for once.
Mad Max: Fury Road ****
A complete rush of the senses … Mad Max the character becomes almost a sideshow to the film’s juggernaut momentum. If that’s still acceptable for fans, Fury Road will thrill the living daylights out of you.
Big Game **
Big Game aims big in action and heart-felt fun but is lacking in anything else.
