Wizzums’s Film Reviews

221 Films have been rated or reviewed by Wizzums.

300 (2006): Far too much style and nowhere near enough substance
A-Team, The (2010): Surprisingly entertaining, but forgettable reboot, with Copley being by far the best thing about it.
District 9 (2009): A wonderfully original and clever sci–fi, with stunning special effects and an absorbing performance from Copley.
Hurt Locker, The (2008): An expertly made, almost painfully suspenseful film, with compelling drama, heart–pumping action and a truly brilliant lead performance from Jeremy Renner.
Four Lions (2010): A film that is both hilarious and tragic. It will leave you shaken.
Prestige, The (2006): The story is solid and the visuals are wonderful, but the two leads and the final twist left me disinterested and unimpressed.
Memento (2000): Nolan\'s finest film to date with a brilliant, complex narrative and another fine turn from Guy Pearce.
Inception (2010): While it doesn\'t quite achieve its ambition, Incepton is none the less an excellent film. A triumph or originality and character in the usually tepid waters of the Holywood blockbuster.
Sucker Punch (2011): At its best, Sucker Punch is dull and uninspired. At its worst, it\'s trashy and downright offensive. A messy, mindless, boring and sexist pile of trash.
Jarhead (2005): While there are some beautiful shots and some solid acting, it\'s tone ranges from dull to unappealingly harsh, and that\'s not due to the film\'s lack of action; it simply fails to engage on an emotional level.
