Movies: Angry Birds 2 (U), Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw (12A), Green Lantern (DVD – 12) & Green Hornet (DVD – 12)

Angry Birds 2 (U) – what’s it about? The Birds and Pigs must put aside their differences and team up against the Eagles who are hellbent on destroying their islands.

I thought I’d go see this as I found the first one amusing. This is very much along the same lines as the first one so if you enjoyed the shenanigans of the Birds and Pigs last time then this one will be right up your street. It has some good humour in it – some that the kids will laugh at and some for the adults to laugh at. It has a little bit of story thrown in, its one of those easy watch cartoons so don’t expect anything too complex, it has a bit of cartoon action too so it’s pretty much fun for all the family. Yeah it’s a good film, its not amazing but entertaining enough to pass the time and give a giggle.

Rating: ***



Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw (12A) – what’s it about? Hobbs and Shaw are forced to join forces and stop the bad guys from releasing a virus on the world.

I’m not a Fast & Furious fan but I’ve been to see most of them as a friend really likes them, but I am a fan of Jason Statham films. All his films are usually completely unbelievable action movies but fun to watch and this even though a spin off is more of an action flick than a flash car flick. Its full of the usual which you expect from an action movie – lots of fighting, violence, guns, explosions and the obligatory car chases. If you want to watch a movie that is in any way believable this won’t be for you but if you want to watch a good action film that you can leave you brain at the door then totally look this one up. Just to note it is a spin off, but you don’t need to have watched all the Fast and the Furious movies to get it, as its pretty standalone.


Rating: ****



Green Lantern (DVD – 12) – what’s it about? After the death of a Green Lantern a new one is chosen to take his place, a human from earth.

I think I saw this when it first come out so its been a few years now, and I have to say its aged pretty badly, the aliens and other worlds are quite dated now so it just looks a bit cheap but the stuff on earth is pretty good still. If you’d like a bit of a bad superhero movie then this is worth checking out, just don’t expect it to be as high quality as some of the more modern comic book flicks. Its still a good movie, it’s just not amazing, it does have its moments that kept me engrossed as it does have a bit of action and some bits that made me laugh and smile.

Rating: ***



The Green Hornet (DVD – 12) – what’s it about? After the death of his father, Brit teams up with Kato to become the Green Hornet.

With this one expect more ham than a ham sandwich, yep this is a bit of a cheesy comedy based on the comic and tv series of the same name. It’s done by Seth Rogen so if you like his stuff then you will probably find this amusing, some is a little inappropriate but it’s not all really bad like some of his other films, its mainly corny so it’s really amusing. Yeah don’t expect a serious film with this one otherwise you’ll be disappointed, yep it’s a fun watch. I want to really give it 3 ½ stars really because it did make me giggle a lot but it’s definitely one of those that you need to be in the right mood for.
