Johnny English: Reborn

I went into this one with rather low expectations. I mean, as far as Rowan Atkinson sequels go, (Mr Beans Holiday was atrocious), I wasn't expecting much. I was however, pleasantly surprised. It's no masterpiece, far from it, but it's a good few hours entertainment. I rather liked the first one, and I felt that this one wasn't really as good, but I thought it was very enjoyable. I love how it parodys the fact that 'guns, fast cars, and suaveness' are in the past, a good nod to the grittier Bond. But yeah, a great few hours worth of entertainment, and the soundtrack was really good!

I honestly, do not understand why on earth this film has been so poorly received. I thought it was great. How it has a 7% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes is just beyond me. Granted, it's not a brlliant film, but it's REALLY not as bad as it's been made out to be.






The Adjustment Bureau
A very entertaining film. A bit slow to start off with but overall I enjoyed it a lot. I think the ending kinda let it down though. It annoys me with mainstream cinema today that everything has to have a happy ending.

Fantastic stuff. Lovely entertaining piece. Craig is great, nice to see him in a bad guy role. Looking forward to the next one.

Sherlock Homes: A Game of Shadows

Thought this one was absolutely great! I loved the first one, and yet this one seemed to be that little bit better. Beautiful camera work, beautiful soundtrack and fantastic performances. Downey Jr is great, very nice chemistry with Jude Law. Thought the ending was fantastic. Highly recommended.
