Paced in a way that feels more like binge-watching a mini series than a movie, this new Justice League is a clear labour of love, and makes use of every moment of its 4 hours to give heart and gravitas to the story which the theatrical cut lacked. #SnyderCutJusticeLeague

It was nice to have a superhero movie which was so strongly character-based and not an overblown CGI spectacle... up until the final act when it became an overblown CGI spectacle. Not a terrible movie, and not a great movie, just a movie that's... sort of... there. #TheNewMutants

While it does have its moments, it's absolutely a sequel that never needed to be made, and lacks the heart of the originals. All that the increase in budget and special effect technology only serves to prove that bigger doesn't automatically mean better. #BillAndTedFaceTheMusic

Great performances across the board in a gripping (and worrying) real-life drama which will leave you in fear of your frying pans. Pacing is a little slow at times, but not enough to bring the movie down. #DarkWaters

A solid sci-fi horror which plays by old school rules, by not force-feeding the audience with exposition and favouring tension-building over tacky jump-scares. Overall a very pleasant surprise. #Underwater

The titular Birds of Prey do very little in a movie which seems to be an attempt to mix Suicide Squad and Deadpool, while the hot mess of an antagonist provides little decent conflict. The DCEU continues to limp along while waiting to be saved by Wonder Woman. #BirdsOfPrey

Hanks' loving portrayal of Fred Rogers is the movie equivalent of a fresh bowl of chicken soup: warm, comforting, and a great pick-me-up if you're feeling down. Even if a little surreal in places (the movie, not the soup). #ABeautifulDayInTheNeighborhood

While Chapter One had a lot of levity from the young cast, resulting in a creepy, Goonies-like romp, the follow-up just resorts to overblown CGI moments and telegraphed jump-scares to pad out its bloated runtime. #ITChapterTwo

Once upon a time, someone said "let's make a new Robin Hood movie", and someone else in the room said "yeah, and let's make him Batman." No one pointed out this was a bad idea, and so we got this movie. The end. #RobinHood2018

Disney's latest live-action (in a loose sense) adaptation suffers a little from the lack of emotional expression as a result of its realism. While the voice cast is terrific, the remake adds little to an original which was done so well in the first place. #TheLionKing

What could have been an exciting and original "what if" horror take on the Superman origin instead becomes a vehicle for 1001 predictable jumpscares, growing tired well before the end of its short runtime. #Brightburn

Although it doesn't feel like it adds anything to the overall story in the same way the first 3 did, the charm of the franchise is still very much present in an installment which will enthrall the kids and throw enough grown up jokes to keep the adults entertained. #ToyStory4

Ironically, a premise based around unoriginality ends up being turned into a delightfully original, witty and charming comedy. A legend of a soundtrack compliments some marvellous performances, only let down by Ed Sheeran's painful acting. #Yesterday #YesterdayMovie

The series continues with an entry which pretty much boils down to a 2 hour action scene, but when the action's this good it's forgivable. Unapologetic fun in a franchise proving to be as resilient as its protagonist. #JohnWick3 #JohnWickChapter3 #Parabellum

The pre-MCU X-Men franchise fizzles to a close with an outing which at least pulls itself back from the train-wreck that was Apocalypse, but still just feels very average, showing us little we haven't already seen in the previous 8 movies. #XMenDarkPhoenix

[One Tweet Movies @OneTweetMovie]

While this installment of the franchise gives us plenty of OTT monster action to feast our eyes on, the messy, globe-hopping story used to string it all together pads the runtime a little too well, making 130 minutes feel like a 3 hour marathon. #GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters

While Reynolds' wise-cracking titular character is the best thing by far about the film, he's sadly not enough to carry it fully. Hardcore Poké-fans might find more to enjoy, but for a casual fan it felt like it dragged far longer than its 100 minutes. #DetectivePikachu

@JUMPCUT_ONLINE It: Chapter 2, Zombieland: Double tap, and Episode IX are probably my top 3 now Endgame's here.

[One Tweet Movies @OneTweetMovie]

22 films into the franchise and Marvel prove that they're still going strong. A visually and emotionally stunning superhero epic which your butt and bladder won't thank you for, but every other part of your body will. #AvengersEngame #Avengers #Endgame #DontSpoilTheEndgame

Some pretty creepy set pieces are interspersed with (as usual for horrors these days) far too many jump-scares, but the biggest shocker is that a "poor" family in London can afford such a gargantuan house. #TheConjuring2
