Movie reviews of Jacob Richardson

Elemental has a pretty poor mcguffin, and a bare bones message delivered without nuance, but the visuals and the heartwarming romance make this one to watch. Review

This photo-realistic fantasy loses much of the vibrancy, life and whimsy of the animated version. Review

A loud, proud, fast and furious start to the finale of this franchise. Review

John Farnham: Finding The Voice will be a compelling watch for fans of the man, fans of the Australian music scene, and everyday punters who love You’re The Voice alike. Review

Traumatised is the only way to describe the feeling of leaving this terrible movie. Review

A distinct lack of actual book references in this film. Review

The MCU returns to its former prowess, with a fun, funny and emotionally powerful installment of our favorite wacky outer space heroes. Review

A mile a minute, super slick, The Innocent is a rip roaring time in the cinema. Review

Sisi and I is a gorgeously shot, off kilter historical romance that plays with artistry that it never fully achieves. Review

This film is a hell of a lot of fun, and a fantastic time in the cinema. Review

Bland, boring and completely devoid of redeeming features, this undoubtedly expensive cash grab can be summarily defined by its sequence of cameos: redundant, boring, nonsensical and completely without chemistry or believability. Review

This chaotic comedy throws you for tonal whiplash throughout, creating a deeply confusing, oft boring but occasionally fun film. Review

Rusty is a wise-cracking, moped riding, demon destroying exorcist in this romp that is as enjoyable as it is middling. Review

Allelujah is a completely baffling exercise; blowing up an otherwise poorly constructed and disinteresting light ensemble comedy set amidst a geriatric ward by veering hard into serial killer territory, before breaking the fourth wall in a dumbfounding piece of propaganda. Review

The Super Mario Bros avoids disaster, but doesn’t bring anything new to the tale in this all too familiar animated film. Review

Air is the sort of simple, wholesome content that - when done well, and it is done very well here - makes an impact. Review

John Wick: Chapter 4 is definitely more in the vein of 2 and Parabellum than it is the first, franchise making movie. But it ups those two comparators easily; delivering a fitting end to the franchise that is brutal, bloody, and OTT, while continuing to push the boundaries when it comes to action in movies. Review

You’ll want to roll the dice on this one. A rollicking good time, that - against all odds - is very funny and a lot of fun. Review

Low stakes and small scale, but a rewarding film filled with heart, pathos and emotion. Review

A nonsensical and deeply flawed sequel, that’s overstuffed, overlong and completely infuriating. Review

Creed III doesn’t come close to touching the heights of the original Creed, or the first two Rocky movies, but it’s a perfectly entertaining film that hits hard on occasion. Review

Missing is a thrilling, inventive and fun movie that does a lot with a relatively thin premise. Review

Cocaine Bear is deeply disjointed, but at times can be buckets of fun. Not essential viewing by any stretch of the imagination, but inoffensive fun if you stumble across it. Review

Marvel’s Phase 5 arrives with a mewling whimper; solidifying a spate of recent failures from the powerhouse studio. The question is: where did Marvel go so wrong? Review
