The Old Guard
A really well crafted take on the concept of immortality with exceptional action and some brilliant performances from the main cast.

A totally fine TV movie that had just enough star power and one great song, but it doesn't feel like it's ageing too well.
Who knew that Hollywood would manage to produce a movie that somehow does the ridiculous spectacle of Eurovision justice, whilst crafting an entertaining and surprisingly musical comedy in the process.
A more-than-worthy successor to the brilliant The Last Airbender and a hugely imaginative show with a strong central core all of its own. With excellent world-building, brilliant characters, more mature themes, and some genuinely interesting, unique stories to tell, my only real issue is that it isn't twice (or four times!) as long.
A wonderful, revolving cast of great British comedians and personalities, set against a genuinely novel and interesting quiz format, make this a classic of modern television, regardless of whether Fry or Toksvig is sat in the big seat.
A humorous skewering of modern politics, through the lens of a ridiculous period of British democracy that has some uncanny parallels to modern days.
Terrible people do terrible things both in and to ancient Rome. Sounds awful, turns out to be incredibly riveting and surprisingly modern in terms of plot and pacing.
A totally typical rom-com with some genuinely funny, quirky moments and a decent cast, but it won't light your world on fire.
An empty mess with the occasional moment where the genius of the books briefly shines through. Lacklustre.
A brilliantly tense and incredibly choreographed two-hour fight sequence, supported by just enough plot to keep you engaged and interested.
A minor blip that keeps getting stronger on rewatch, especially in the wider context of the MCU. Still, even for first-time viewers the action and spectacle of the original are well maintained and the introduction of yet further characters continues to impress.
The Avengers movie that everyone wanted. Despite its flaws and plot holes, there's a lot of fun on offer here and some fantastic moments to Cap out (heh) a brilliant trilogy.
