Clash of the Titans

Certificate: 12A

Running Time: 106 minutes

Director: Louis Leterrier

Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Gemma Arterton star in this action packed film about the Greek Gods. It definitely ticks all the boxes on paper, but in actual fact was not as well made as it should have been. I kept putting off watching it as I thought as much, which explains why this review is so late. The movie wasn’t as long winded as I expected it to be, and it did exceed my expectations. This would have been a compliment had it not been for my expectations starting out rather low in the first place. An average film, pretty good in some places, but not very consistent. 

Rating: ***

The A Team

Certificate: 12A

Running Time: 117 minutes

Director: Joe Carnahan

A rather well pulled off remake of the classic that we all love. The casting was good, and the on screen chemistry between the cast made it seem more realistic. The script was rather dramatic - but for an A Team remake it had to be. The special effects also followed along those lines. Challenge any action film buff to say they didn’t enjoy it!

Rating: ****
