Movie

At last, a film about the G7

It’s not exactly Christmassy, but it is very Burroughsy, and it may be the best performance of Daniel Craig’s career

Starring a very watchable Amy Adams, this movie is weird and there is nothing I can say to make it sound less weird

It feels like a film that hates its audience. And itself

Demi Moore stuns in this gory, graphic presentation of the horror of aging

What we end up with is a bunch of generic young nobodies who won’t alienate (sorry) global audiences

The franchise has suffered Marvel-ification

Oh, to be a teenager again… Although, thinking about it, I’d rather not, actually

The film does at least do what it says on the tin, which is subject you to extremely bad weather over and over

The extent to which this rom-com takes flight is largely thanks to Scarlet Johansson

The film stars Tom Hardy, Austin Butler and Jodie Comer, who manages to wipe the floor with both of them

Chances are, you will like this film. Somewhat

It’s all fine. Anya Taylor-Joy is fine as the vengeful heroine. Chris Hemsworth is fine as the lightly maudlin villain

There are car chases and speed boats and explosions so it’s giving everything an action film would give but in a clever, knowing way

The film is a vortex of jealousy, betrayal and somewhat repetitive sexual intrigue — but Zendaya isn’t bad

There has been criticism, but it has been measured and constructive

It is a load of tripe. And I really didn’t want it to be

There is little character development and it’s not for the literal-minded
