Movie reviews of Jack Bottomley

M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass ambitiously toys with audience expectations to deliver an unexpected, divisive and yet appropriate finale to his Eastrail 177 Trilogy. Review

It’s a costume drama but not as we know it in Yorgos Lanthimos’ surreal story of royalty, sex and power. Review

Holmes & Watson is a bafflingly bad waste of effort and talent. Review

Visually breathtaking, distinctive and like a living comic book. Review

James Wan goes ‘Under DC’ in Aquaman and the results are spectacular. Review

Rowling stuns with her world but the story is undeniably more build up for a better future. Review

While visually and audibly tasty, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms gets in a bit of narrative tangle. Review

The painstaking technical work staggers, the testimonies marry perfectly with the images presented and take you on a journey as a viewer. Review

A blast and it confirms the long-held belief that horror legends never really die. Especially when they have a team behind them so adoring of their craft. Review

A brilliant Tom Hardy goes gleefully bonkers in the fun as heck Venom! Review

The worst thing about all of it is just how unloved it feels. Review

While lacking the memorable punch of others in The Conjuring-verse, The Nun is still a rather atmospheric gothic tale. Review

Slender Man is a limp cinema debut for the infamous Internet meme horror character. Review

The filmmakers have fashioned a big gross world for the movie’s murderous, dubious and promiscuous characters to run amok in. Review

Delivers the experience it promised, as Jason Statham taking on a 75-foot prehistoric shark turns out to be a fun formula…go figure. Review

Aims purely for fun over high stakes and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Review

The film wastes a cast that is genuinely up for it. Review

The film firmly grasps its human family drama, as well as its exciting superhero action... Review

Aster’s film is disturbing, lasting and hard to put into words. Engrossingly evil. Review

The charismatic ensemble ensures a good time in this elegantly shot reboot/quasi-sequel to the Ocean’s franchise. Review

Has certainly got it where it counts, in a surprisingly awesome origin story for the scruffy lookin’ nerf herder. Review

Another barrage of fourth wall breaking laughs and violent fun from your friendly neighbourhood pool guy! Review

The 10 years of build up have resulted in a bold, dramatic and surprising part-finale for Phase Three of the MCU. Review

Is sure to be one of the year’s best horror films. Review
