Review of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

For a film franchise a year off its third decade, it is very good; almost hitting the heights of MI:3…

Review of Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

Hardcore fans will find enough to enjoy here, but I found the pace at times slow, the visual effects somewhat disappointing (particularly compared…

Review of Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

The 3D animation from Dreamworks is excellent, the voice cast led by Ty Burrell is spot-on, but it's the clever gags that make this silliness a hoot…

Review of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part One is very good indeed and all the better for featuring no Hunger Games at all…

Review of Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

(Woodruff's) journey from bigotry to tolerance does feel a little formulaic, but the performances and the stark reminder of those extraordinary,…

Review of Love & Mercy (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

It's what else that was going on inside Wilson's head that is explored in this cleverly constructed, brilliantly performed and just-so-interesting…

Review of Ted 2 (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

If you like this style of deliberately provocative humour, Ted 2, despite being a good 15 minutes too long, serves up a generous handful of…

Review of Dumb and Dumber To (2014)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

The freshness and likeability have gone, replaced by a weariness and undeniable creepiness that the default comedy style does nothing to dispel…

Review of Southpaw (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

It's no classic, with Gyllenhaal's mumble-core performance hampered by a second-rate screenplay that doesn't convince and never really reveals…

Review of Self/less (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

Don't expect lofty explorations of the nature of the individual; just shoot-outs and car chases…

Review of She's Funny That Way (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

Poots is lively and likeable, Aniston and Ifans are both very funny and it's lovely to see the great Cybill Shepherd -- who got her big break…

Review of The Cobbler (2014)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

It manages to turn a potentially charming piece of contemporary magic realism into a tedious and clunkily episodic mess that, with its lazy…

Review of Song of the Sea (2014)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

The Celtic-influenced animation, with its leprechauns, giants and scary owls, is stunning…

Review of Jurassic World (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

You never find yourself thinking Wow, great visual effects, and that's because the underlying story is so cleverly constructed and strong,…

Review of Hot Pursuit (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

There are some laughs to be had along the constructed way but the minuses outweigh the pluses and the whole female police mismatch was done…

Review of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom (2013)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

It's at its strongest when it's dealing with the period we know least about: Mandela's early years…

Review of Mr. Holmes (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

It is almost wholly down to McKellen that this Bill Condon-directed picture is still worth catching…

Review of Everly (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

Watching Hayek going through the increasingly blood-soaked motions as the improbably resourceful title character quickly becomes embarrassing…

Review of Inside Out (2015)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

It's full of colour and lovable characters and held together by an immaculately polished screenplay that is every bit as funny as it is moving…

Review of The Rewrite (2014)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 30 Oct 2017

The Rewrite is good fun and gets better as you adjust to its gentle pace and start to appreciate the unshowy quality of Grant's performance…
