Reviews Featuring Andy Serkis
The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring
Awesome. All the bits of the film that should have been in there in the first place, a must for collectors and Tolkein fans everywhere. Gorgous packaging, sumptuous quality. Both editions are great value for money. If youre like me, youll probably end up owning both.
Decently-made war horror that does suffer a little from a slow second half and a not unexpected ending.
The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
Visually its even more impressive than the last movie, but in terms of pure story-telling it falls ever-so-slightly short of its predecessor.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Quite possibly the best movie ever made.
Inventively put-together for a costume drama, but nothing special in the story department.
Likeable but uninspiring, itll be most memorable for exposing Jennifer Garners potential as a rom-com lead so expect to be sick of the sight of her within five years!
Christopher Nolan's magical mystery tour provides impressive plot twists galore and oozes real star quality.
John Landis' big screen comeback is a strange one. Mixing serial killing, comedy and a glut of actors not speaking in their natural accents are risks that don't quite pay off.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
This prequel is much better than the awful title suggests as it exudes an enjoyably throwaway quality. A good way to spend the inevitably rainy summer days.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn
The uncanny valley effect strikes again as a largely good film is ruined by freaky animation that's more unnerving than any horror.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
An expected minor letdown as the first part shows that Peter Jackson should have just stuck to one (or two at most) epic length movies not three. Not bad but a little underwhelming.
