UK Release Date: 22 February 2022 Certification: 12 Director: Ron Howard Cast: Paul Bettany, Jennifer Connelly, Russel Crowe, Adam Goldberg, Ed Harris, Josh Lucas, Christopher Plummer Rating: 76% 'The only thing greater than the power of the mind is the courage of the heart' Review: Some mesmerising performances are at the heart of the film. Russel Crowe plays Nobel Peace Prize winner, Dr. John Nash. It's a beautiful performance (pun intended) that encapsulates the sheer intelligence of Nash whilst also bring a sense of vulnerability to the role that makes him easy to empathise with. However, he's outdone by Jennifer Connelly who won an academy award for her performance. Her performance feels so personal due to her love and care for her husband. She firstly, helps Nash discover who he truly is and later on helps him rediscover that during his most challenging period dealing with paranoid schizophrenia. The supporting cast are all up to standard as well. Paul Bet...

UK Release Date: 23 April 2015 Certification: 12A Director: Joss Whedon Cast: Paul Bettany, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Robert Downey Jr, Elizabeth Olsen, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, James Spader Rating: 69 % "Is that the best you can do?" Review: At the time of release I believed Avengers: Age of Ultron was another Iron Man 2 . What I mean by this, is that the sequels are more convoluted than the originals ( Avengers Assemble and Iron Man respectively).

However, in my opinion, the biggest disappointment of Avengers: Age of Ultron , is Ultron himself. After seeing the trailers for this movie I thought Ultron would be deadly serious, a form...

UK Release Date: 24 May 2018 Certification: 12A Director: Ron Howard Cast: Paul Bettany, Emilia Clarke, Anthony Daniels, Warwick Davis, Alden Ehrenreich, Jon Favreau, Donald Glover, Woody Harrleson, Joonas Suotamo Rating:   64 % "I've got a bad feeling about this." Review: Solo: A Star Wars Story is different from every other movie in the Star Wars franchise. Set before Star Wars: A New Hope , Solo: A Star Wars Story is an origin story detailing how Han Solo becomes involved in the criminal underworld of the galaxy. The character Han Solo was recently named the Greatest Sci-fi Character of all time by Total Film magazine. Synonymous with Harrison Ford and his legendary performance in the original trilogy, I thought that Alden Ehrenreich did a good job of portraying Han Solo. Alden Ehrenreich is what you would imagine a young Han Solo to look like and importantly act like. He brings charisma, sarcasm and a believable partnership with Chewbacca to the ro...
