PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie (2023)

Great film for little ones

[10/10 · 1 October 2023]

This is a kids film, so I have no idea why people are reviewing it through their eyes as adults.

Yes, there are a more "scary" moments than the first one - But my 2 year old is scared by Scooby Doo, yet had no problems with this. And yes... the voices are a bit different - but only adults will notice that anyway!

So. As a KIDS film - This was great. Entertaining, emotional & funny for both kids and parents. Well produced, well edited, great soundtrack, lots of nods to action/superhero films for adults. Kid lapped up every minute, including the end credits, and didn't want to leave. So 10/10 as far as she's concerned.

Dunkirk (2017)

THE best Nolan film

[10/10 · 1 August 2017]

Dunkirk may well be the best war film ever made. Tense from start to finish (epic score btw), incredible aerial combat scenes, and thoroughly unnerving and horrifying throughout. The whole film is a series of crescendos, both musically, emotionally and cinematographically. As far as Christopher Nolan films go, it makes The Dark Knight look like a warm up act. The acting and casting is superb too... astoundingly even Harry Styles!!

I was genuinely left in bits after watching Dunkirk. It is beyond sensational. If this film doesn't win every award it can, I'll be amazed!!
