138. Lawless


It may be based on a true story but does it really need to be this by the numbers? 

Almost does something really neat with the 'invincible' tag but blows it and reverts to type. It certainly takes the award for 'the best cast in a terrible movie' as it is hard to believe that such stellar performers were part this piece of generic and cliché ridden bollocks.

137. The Equalizer

Essential geri-action viewing in which Denzel takes out the entire Russian mob without once breaking a sweat or getting himself into any kind of peril. Well, up until the last two guys anyway...

How or why it's over two hours long I have no idea...

136. Avengers: Age Of Ultron


Quality popcorn munching fare that is as impossible to dislike as it is to get totally excited about. A script full of snappy and crackling one liners but still ends up as the usual city destroying punch up. 

Not as good as the first instalment so a 'good but not great' although a weighty +1 for the lovely Veronica.

135. Godzilla


I just love the way that mankind is the backdrop as Zilla and Muto go at it. The sheer helplessness of the human characters is nicely played out.

Aaron Johnson is perfect as Captain Cardboard, although a better character/ actor would have been preferable. Oh and Bryan Cranston only appears for a minute; although it is a minute more than Juliette Binoche

Main Takeaway: Delivering a bullshit trailer in the internet age doesn't work.

134. Mad Max: Fury Road



Blimey! Mad Max Fury Road is a proper film in every way.

I feels like a real 80's action movie in terms of pacing, camera work and the resourceful running time. It's an unstoppable force from start to finish and is too road movies what The Raid is to action movies. 

Doesn't reinvent the wheel but adds about 2000 horses and a fucking great turbo charger to it. The best blockbuster of the year so far.
