Avengers: Infinity War | 2018 | A plotless collection of fight sequences that trivialise some of Marvel's best loved characters into a pretty dull sketch show. | Gordon | 4 |

Avengers: Infinity War | 2018 | The dizzying array of heroes get meaningful screen time and the humour is restrained compared to recent Marvel outings, but the real positive is Thanos, a great villain with depth and purpose, rather than the throwaway baddies of most superhero movies. | Mat | 8 |

Christopher Robin | 2018 | An absolutely delightful live action Winnie The Pooh movie. Everything works well despite nothing standing out. McGregor is a bit hammy, the effects don't always look quite right and the story will probably bore/confuse kids in places, but I loved it. | Gordon | 8 |

First Man | 2018 | A wonderful biopic that is clearly about the man and not the mission. Don't expect lots of glory shots of rockets or planets, just a man and his single minded ambition. | Gordon | 9 |

Ready Player One | 2018 | A rather childish interpretation of the nostalgia-soaked book appears to be aimed at people too young to get the references and comes off a little dumbed down. I'd have loved it 20 years ago however! | Gordon | 6 |

Ready Player One | 2018 | The story is even more simplistic than the book and the action sequences are mostly soulless, but despite that you can't help but smile at the onslaught of pop-culture references and thrilling world that Spielberg has brought to the screen. | Mat | 7 |

Solo: A Star Wars Story | 2018 | For a two and a quarter hour film I came away knowing nothing new about Han. Nor did I understood his motivation to become the galaxy’s greatest smuggler. | Gordon | 5 |
