A fitting end to the hugely popular series sees Harry Potter re-find the magic it had recently lost in previous instalments. Unfortunately though, this landmark leaves most of the British film industry unemployed.
Adventure
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Pirates of the Caribbean: Seriously That’s Enough Now. No longer fun or original and a bit of a mess of competing egos and escalating but boring action sequences.
Thor
Shows what happens when Mr. Shakespeare takes on Marvel comics. Ridiculous.
Sucker Punch
It’s big, loud, brash and ultimately pretty fun but, at the end of the day, Sucker Punch is filled with paper-thin characters and doesn’t really make any sense.
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
The Coen Brothers once again show what you can do with perfectly realised characters, an awesome soundtrack and a wonderful storyline. A depression-era movie that’s far from depressing.
Rescue Dawn
Christian Bale and Werner Herzog is a match made in heaven in this prisoner of war film with a heart. Rescue Dawn is a real testament to the power of the human spirit and, for once, I actually mean that.
