Welcome to my monthly movie feature! I am a big movie fan and I have a monthly cinema card. This means I can visit my local cinema as many times a month as time will allow, so I thought that I would give my thoughts on the films which I have watched each month. However, this is just my opinion!

Avengers: End Game

The long awaited follow up to the fantastic Avengers: The Infinity Stones, which left us on a massive cliff hanger last year! I was so excited to see this movie and find out what was going to happen.

It was an epic end to a brilliant series of movies from Marvel Studios. I loved it and I am therefore making this film, my favourite of the month. 

Avengers end game

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! It was amazing. Carrying on from the last movie Thanos clicked his fingers and half of the world died so five years later some of the remaining Avengers went to find the other remaining Avengers and iron man also known as Tony stark found a way to go back in time. So cap, iron man, hulk, arrow, ant man etc. went to retrieve the stones before Thanos did, but things did not go to plan…

I really enjoyed it I hope they make more if I had to rate this movie out of 5, I would say 5 stars

Detective Pikachu

The first Pokemon live-action film featuring Pikachu voiced by Ryan Reynolds. In a world where Pokemon exist, there is a city where Pokemon can live and work alongside humans which is the first of it’s kind but is all as it seems? 

Very funny and a nice watch, even if you are not obsessed with pokemon!

 

 

DETECTIVE PIKACHU

This movie is AMAZING!!!! I loved it. It made me laugh a lot, but it was a bit emotional. The film is about a boy called Tim he doesn’t have a Pokémon partner but then something happens… I defiantly enjoyed the movie, I enjoyed it so much I saw it twice so give this movie 5 out 0f 5 stars!

The Secret Life of Pets 2

I had been waiting for this movie to come out and it does not disappoint. I was a huge fan of the first film. as being a huge dog lover, it was great fun to watch the characters in the film behaving as they do in real life and the ideas of what our pets might really be thinking and getting up to when we are not home. 

This film had a few different storylines happening at once and was extremely funny, much like the first film. I really enjoyed the film and this was only slightly beaten by the Avengers movie for my ‘movie of the month’. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another month with only three movies seen. I use to always manage at least five! I need to up my game and manage my time better as there have been a few movies over the last few months which I missed at the cinema.

Have you seen any of these or have you seen something else this month? Let me know your thoughts!

Shazam!

A comedy superhero film with a difference. This superhero is actually a fourteen-year-old boy who changes into a fully grown man when he says the magic word! I really enjoyed this film, it was funny and it had an interesting storyline. It is a 12A which means that children that are younger than twelve can watch it with an adult, but I would be careful, as there were some scenes which would be scary for younger children. At the end of the movie, there is a rather strange cutscene after the credits, which could be indicating that there will be a follow-up film. 

 

Wonder Park

Wonder park is about an imagined theme park which actually comes to life. I normally like kids films as I am a big kid myself but unfortunately, I was not a fan of this film. I am sure that young children would enjoy it but I found it boring and ended up falling asleep in the cinema! 

Little

Little is a comedy which centres around the life of Jordan Sanders who after a difficult school experience, decided that no one would ever get the chance to be mean to her again, as she would get them first! Grown-up Jordan played by Regina Hall wakes up as her 13-year-old self (Marsai Martin) two days before an important pitch to save her company. With the help from her long-suffering assistant, April (Issa Rae) to help her find a way to get back to her grown-up self. 

This was really funny with an entertaining, enjoyable storyline. The film has underlying themes of being yourself and not letting others change who you are, which is important at a time when people are influenced by others more than ever before.

Only three movies this month as time has been short. Have you seen any of these? Or are you planning too? I would love to hear what you think.

The Lego Movie 2

As the name suggests, this was a follow up to the first Lego Movie and was just as enjoyable. This time Emit and friends have to face Aliens from another planet behind the stair gate. It is a great film for kids and one that adults can also enjoy. This film includes another very catchy song, although not quite as catchy as the song from the first movie ‘everything is awesome’, which is currently on replay in my head as I type! 

 

 

 

 The Lego Movie 2.

I really love the film because it’s funny and really well animated. It made me laugh and I really enjoyed it!! In the lego movie 2 some aliens came and kept destroying the town. They would re-build, then an alien came and took all the heroes away and it was up to Emit to save them. 

I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars!

The Kid Who Would Be King

This film is loosely based on the myth of Merlin and the knights of the round table as a follow up to the myth in modern times. The story centres around a twelve-year-old boy called Alex who stumbles across a sword in a stone and pulls it out. He then discovers that he has pulled out Excalibur and a whole adventure begins to unfold. The movie is rated PG and I would definitely be careful of letting very young children watching this movie as there were some quite scary scenes. 

It was a very enjoyable, interesting film which had some very funny moments in it. The underlying themes to the movie are based on believing in yourself, overcoming challenges and friendship. I would definitely recommend this movie to a family audience. 

 

Instant Family

Instant family stars Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byme as Pete and Ellie, who decide to adopt a child. Instead of adopting one young child as first planned, they end up taking on three siblings, one of whom is a teenager which has hilarious consequences!  The film was absolutely brilliant, I laughed and I cried and I am awarding it my film of the month badge. It also shines an important light onto the fostering and adoption service and the need for more parents. Fantastic!!

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

This is the third instalment of the DreamWorks movie franchise. The story is centred on a Viking boy called Hiccup and his dragon, toothless. Most humans are using dragons for fighting and labour, but Hiccup and his people have learned to respect and live with dragons and try to rescue other dragons which need help. In this film, the clan face their biggest threat yet and there is also the introduction of a love interest for toothless. 

This is the first of these films which I have seen, but I didn’t think that it was a problem as you could still follow the storyline without having seen the previous two films.  The film was good with some very cute scenes with the two dragons which are falling in love, which made me smile. There is also an underlying theme of learning to trust in yourself and that true love for someone can mean putting them above your own happiness and letting them go. 

How To Train Your Dragon – The Hidden World

I don’t like it because it’s sad but it’s good but sad. It’s an animated film so it’s perfect for kids. It’s about some dragon hunters who hire a night furry killer and they try to destroy the dragons, so a young boy finds a special world for the dragons not to be harmed. 

It did make me cry because I don’t like any film with animals being damaged or captured. So I would give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.

So what do you think? Will you be watching any of these?

 

Welcome to my monthly movie feature! I am a big movie fan and I have a monthly cinema card. This means I can visit my local cinema as many times a month as time will allow, so I thought that I would give my thoughts on the films which I have watched each month. However, this is just my opinion so please don’t send me angry messages if you watch a movie which I have recommended and you did not actually like it!

Holmes and Watson 

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly star in this comedy take on the Classic stories of Sherlock Holmes. I had been looking forward to seeing this as I am a fan of all of the Sherlock mysteries. My favourite movie genre is comedy so I thought that I was almost guaranteed a good watch.

How wrong could I be! I do not say this often but I thought that this film was absolutely terrible! The comedy was of a stupid nature and not my kind of comedy at all. There was also a strange song in the middle of the film which seemed totally irrelevant to the film. If I could have left the cinema I would have done, but I knew that my husband was unavailable to collect me until the end of the movie, so I stayed hoping it would get better. Unfortunately for me, it did not. I would not recommend this movie as I feel that it was a waste of 90 minutes of my life which I will never get back!

Aquaman

This is the story of Arthur Curry, played by Jason Momoa, who is Aquaman. We have previously seen Aquaman in other superhero films but in this film, we finally get to see the back story of Aquaman who has a human father and an Atlantian mother.  I really enjoyed the storyline of the film and it also had some fantastic visual effects too. As I am not a fan of watching fighting, there was a bit too much in the war scenes for my taste but other than that I loved it!

 

 

 

Mary Poppins Returns

The original Mary Poppins was one of my favourite films when I was a child, so I was very excited when I heard that they were making a sequel. This time Mary Poppins was played by Emily Blunt who did a superb job. Michael and Jane Banks are now grown up and Michael has his own children but is struggling after losing his wife. Mary Poppins returns to help the family with some assistance from her friend Jack (Lin-Manuel Miranda) who is a lamplighter. The film is full of colour, magic and song, just as you would expect and tied in nicely with the original film. It was also a lovely touch to see Dick Van Dyke make a brief appearance towards the end of the film. 

Second Act

This was my type of film and was absolutely brilliant. Second Act is a comedy starring Jennifer Lopez and Vanessa Hudgens. The story centers around Mya (Jennifer Lopez) who has reached 40, but is being held back in her career, as she does not have a degree even though she has plenty of experience. The film gave me lots of laughs and was a great story with a great deeper meaning of remembering that every day when we wake up, we have another chance to be who we want to be.
