Results tagged “HANCOCK” from Birmingham Mail - Mega Movies

IN TONIGHT'S Birmingham Mail I've given four stars to Hancock, Kung Fu Panda and The Mist.

That's probably more stars, across the board, than most critics who, from what I've seen of today's nationals, are only likely to give the first two films three stars.

But in my definitive explanation of star ratings, four stars means enjoyable and three watchable - a significant difference.

Having gone to press, I'm comfortable with my initial thoughts.

Apart from anything else, Hancock has a use of sound that's well above average.

Kung Fu Panda, though perhaps cliched for older viewers, is a useful introduction to youngsters of all things Chinese. And it looks really fabulous.

As for The Mist, going to your local supermarket won't be the same experience ever again.

So, they're all enjoyable in their own way.

And, in any case, I'm still getting a buzz from having seen Mamma Mia! earlier this week.

It's such a feelgood movie that maybe I'll be feeling generous enough to give every fllm four stars until the end of the year.

Or maybe not. There's bound to be another dud soon!

Enjoy the good stuff while you can.
