So if you’ve seen the
previous Creed movie or any of the Rocky movies you’ll know exactly what to
expect with this one. There’s nothing new. There’s a fight, it doesn’t go to
well, lots of suffering, the trainer giving a pep talk, a training montage,
then another fight that’s a little rocky. That basically the sum up of any of
these movies, there’s no spoiling it there. Yeah the story has a few
interesting bits and it’s an ok watch, but oh so predictable. I sadly think
it’s the time to say it and that’s I think it’s time to ring the final bell for
this franchise unless they can think of something new. I probably could give it 2 1/2 *’s as it’s an ok movie, but it’s just nothing
special so I'm going to be a little harsh and only give it 2.

Ralph
Breaks the Internet (PG)
– what’s it about? The sequel to Wreck it Ralph. The arcade is plugged into the
internet and Ralph and Vanellope go on a quest to save her game.
If you’ve seen the first
one and you found it amusing, then this one will be right up your street as it continues
in the same vein. The story is good going, it’s interesting and there are
enough moments that are amusing for both kids and adults. It’s one of those
that’s done well for anyone who’s anywhere under the age of 40 as you’ll get
all the jokes. Yeah, my mates and I were in stitches in parts, it’s lol funny
rather than heh funny, so be prepared to have a giggle. It’s a good mix of
humour, light story and a bit of action, with a bit of a moral thrown in for
good measure. The perfect movie you can just sit and enjoy, so if you are a kid
or a big kid then it’s worth seeing 😊

Mortal
Engines (12A) – what’s
it about? Set in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity lives in moveable
cities that consume each other for survival two unlikely friends try to survive.
Well this is something a
little different and though unbelievable (well not the end of the world bit,
that’s probably a certainty) it gives a good watch with some interesting story.
It focuses around the two main characters and their friendship that develops,
the main story though is about the adventure, survival and conspiracies which
was pretty engrossing. It’s got a good mix that managed that kept me
entertained, though I was a little bored at one point, but that wasn’t for long
and I put that down to my tiredness. Yep its worth a watch, a good movie to
pass the time and escape this reality for a while.

Aquaman
(12A) – what’s it
about? Arthur’s half-brother sets out to take the fight to humanity for all the
bad things they’ve done to the ocean over the years.
I’ve been waiting for this
one for quite a while, I like the Aquaman story and I’ve loosely followed Jason
Mamoa’s outings since he played the awesome Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis. So
I had hopes for this film, what I kept in mind though is that this is a DC
movie and not a Marvel one, though DC have nailed the small screen where Marvel
seem to lack, it’s been the other way around on the large screen. Don’t get me
wrong some of the DC movies are good but some have been freaking awful, so I was
thinking this could either be hit or miss. With that in mind I have to say I enjoyed
it, I liked the story and the whole underlining of how humanity is screwing up
the planet (which is true and we as a race need to change!). I also fell in
love with Mera and totally want to cosplay her…anyway yes it’s a good movie, it’s
not the greatest movie out there but it’s still worth a watch just because it’s
got some good action and stuff going on. It definitely has a few great moments
and I didn’t find myself bored so that is always a plus. So yeah if you have a
spare couple of hours and like the comic book movies then it’s worth a look.
