The Croods: A New Age (2020)
Thank god for Thunk!
Nothing like the first one which was really tasteful. This one just felt cheap , stupid and too unbelievable. If it wasn't for Thunks window watching ( very relevant - and funny ) we probably would have left the cinema . Why ruin a perfectly good family film by making a ham sequel which had very little relevance and style to the first one . So disappointing .
Swallows and Amazons (2016)
disappointing to say the least
To me this was a perfect opportunity to create something special from something classic gone completely wrong. Some of the scenes were lovely to look at but overshadowed by the underwhelming story lines. The acting was completely wooden, the 2 smaller children were quite fun and played their parts well, the older ones however could really have learned something from them. Their characters were completely wooden, no personality, enthusiasm or expression. In the past few years we have seen some amazing child actors such as, The BFG, Pan and What we did on our holiday to name just a few. How then did this go so wrong? As a family we watch a lot of films , old and new, we also spend a lot of time going to the cinema , so pride ourselves in being able to appreciate all sorts of film genres. When we saw this advertised we were quite excited and thought it had a lot of potential. Sadly we walked out of the cinema after seeing this feeling totally unfulfilled.
