Masters Of The Universe (1987) Review Cannon's Masters Of The Universe lacks both brawn and brains. If eighties multiplex cinema were a stick of rock, the Cannon Films logo would run through its centre, a specific brand of cinematic hubris that deservedly has its own wing in the museum of bad ideas.... click link to read more: https://thecraggus.com/2026/05/29/masters-of-the-universe-1987-review/ Thanks!

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (1977) Review They don't make them like this anymore.

Apex (2026) Review Apex offers much in the way of heights but very little depth.

Mortal Kombat II (2026) Review Mortal Kombat II gets an upgrade thanks to a Cage match. With the previous Mortal Kombat reboot having avoided the eponymous tournament in favour of a series of pre-season unfriendlies, returning director Simon McQuoid finally delivers on the central promise of the IP with Mortal Kombat II.... #action #adelinerudolph #jessicamcnamee #joshlawson #karlurban #lewistan #simonmcquoid #videogame click link to read more: https://thecraggus.com/2026/05/08/mortal-kombat-ii-2026-review/ Thanks!

Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones (2002) Review It's easy to criticize Attack Of The Clones. Fun, too.

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999) Review There's always a bigger disappointment.

Blade: Trinity (2004) Review Blade: Trinity is actually three movies in a leather trenchcoat. The first Blade, a club-thumping gothic horror, cut close. The second, a Guillermo del Toro body horror creature-feature, closer still. Blade: Trinity on the other hand is a little rusty and dull.... #davidsgoyer #dominicpurcell #doomsdayprep #horror #jessicabiel #kriskristofferson #marvel #parkerposey #ryanreynolds #superhero #tripleh #wesleysnipes click link to read more: https://thecraggus.com/?p=53120 Thanks!

Daredevil (2003) Review 2003's Daredevil captures the (Evan)essence of the character. Much maligned on its original release, 2003’s Daredevil only made it to cinemas in a compromised fashion so to give the devil his due, this review will focus on the superior Director’s Cut which was released a year later.... #benaffleck #colinfarrell #doomsdayprep #jennifergarner #kevinsmith #markstevenjohnson #marvel #michaelclarkeduncan #superhero click link to read more: https://thecraggus.com/?p=52434 Thanks!
