Review of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 27 May 2019

Globe-trotting but not adventurous, action-packed but not remotely exciting, utterly overstuffed and completely paper-thin. Nuke it from orbit…

Review of Dumbo (2019)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 26 Mar 2019

An enchanting blend of Disney twinkle and Tim Burton’s dark whimsy that’s at its best when venturing off the beaten path…

Review of Minding the Gap (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 18 Mar 2019

Its skating sequences are impressive, but it’s the intimate examinations of fracturing friendships and emerging adulthood that make Minding…

Review of Under the Silver Lake (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 11 Mar 2019

Under The Silver Lake is gorgeous to look at and listen to, with moments of genuine panache, but its wilfully labyrinthine plot will have limited…

Review of Happy Death Day 2U (2019)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 13 Feb 2019

What could have been a simple retread or by-numbers continuation instead throws itself headfirst into time-twiddling absurdity. High art…

Review of Boy Erased (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 04 Feb 2019

Joel Edgerton once again proves himself a gifted filmmaker — but for all the craft, compelling performances and good intentions at work here,…

Review of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 28 Jan 2019

DreamWorks Animation’s most heartfelt series bows out with a beautifully designed finale, but the long-awaited emotional goodbyes for its…

Review of Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 14 Nov 2018

Mat Whitecross draws compelling lines between Coldplay’s past and present in a documentary as colourful and optimistic as its namesake album…

Review of Overlord (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 05 Nov 2018

Overlord injects a healthy dose of schlock into familiar war-movie tropes to create an entertainingly grungy hybrid, but it never quite kicks…

Review of A Simple Favor (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 18 Sep 2018

Watching Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick trade barbs is entertaining, but Feig’s first thriller suffers from an unconvincing plot and inconsistent…

Review of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 16 Jul 2018

The first Mamma Mia! often felt like being trapped on a non-stop rowdy middle-aged all-singing all-dancing holiday (in a good way)…

Review of The First Purge (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 04 Jul 2018

With a sharper focus on race and plenty of real-life horrors to draw from, Gerard McMurray brings a fresh perspective to this splashily satirical…

Review of Tag (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 28 Jun 2018

A low gag rate, irritating unlikeable characters and mean-spirited moments sap the joy out of a sweet true story…

Review of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 04 Jun 2018

The fear factor is back. This is a Jurassic sequel that plays it both adrenaline-pumpingly huge and thrillingly small…

Review of Truth or Dare (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 13 Apr 2018

The truth is, it’s not very good – and entirely without scares…

Review of The Hurricane Heist (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 01 Apr 2018

It’s far from the perfect storm, but The Hurricane Heist is stupid fun with a belter of a final sequence…

Review of Red Sparrow (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire (3,446) on 05 Mar 2018

With an uncompromising attitude to complex plotting and graphic content, Red Sparrow is a promising beginning to a potential new spy franchise…

Review of Winchester (2018)

By Ben Travis (84) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 02 Feb 2018

Despite an intriguing premise, Winchester misses the mark…

Review of Spectre (2015)

By Ben Travis (84) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 20 Oct 2015

Digging into Bond history, returning director Sam Mendes has, against all the odds, delivered a film that at least matches, and perhaps even…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Ben Travis (84) for GQ Magazine [UK] (132) on 20 Aug 2015

Go and see Whiplash. It's as simple as that. Whiplash is incredible. I really can't believe how good Whiplash is…
