Search: Starring Terence Stamp

There's a lot of good work here, decent performances from Blunt, Damon and Mackie, some gorgeous locations and some neat production design, but it doesn't quite work.

Burton does not think he needs to make up his mind about the tone of the movie. It is like a child ordering an ice cream with five kinds of toppings.

For me, and I suspect an entire generation, this is the definitive, almost faultless, take on one of English literature’s most powerful and evocative works.

Get Smart contains just enough laugh-out-loud moments to merit the price of a cinema ticket.

The film is based on a Disney theme park ride, but feels like a creaky merry-go-round compared with the thrilling rollercoaster that was Pirates Of The Caribbean.

It’s a film which some viewers will find exhausting to watch, hammering home its emotive points rather than letting us explore on our own. Within this, however, there are some surprisingly delicate performances.

Lem Dobbs's script is chrome-plated - flashy dialogue and a storyline that goes off the rails.

This is a trivial conceit, with a certain charm.

Overall, the film doesn't quite achieve the level of dramatic tension it should.

When you're watching a film for the wallpaper you know you're in trouble.

The plot is spartan, which does not mean it isn't engaging.

Truth be told, I wept buckets.

The dialogue is carved in marble, as if the power of speech never progressed beyond Ronald Reagan and the art of the autocue.

Without the shackles of an origin story, Superman II soars into action straight away.

The continuity is shaky (what do you expect?), but the new material is more adult, less camp and with a devotion to character and logic that Lester’s just didn’t have.

Screenwriter, Christopher McQuarrie and director Bryan Singer have done a terrific job of resurrecting the Seventies style of war film spiced up with the benefits of modern editing and special effects.

In terms of awesome per second, Wanted just set a new record.

Carrey has managed to find a middle ground for his divisive brand of comedy, using his natural humour to its fullest extent but steering clear of excessive slapstick.
