Is Pokémon Detective Pikachu a classic telling of the Pokémon journey? No, but is it a welcome glare of personality and hope? Absolutely.

Deadpool 2 is the most recent, and to some minds, most egregious, example of a mainstream film figuring out that it can benefit from appearing subversive, without needing to put in the creative work of fulfilling this promise.
Though struggling with its initial attempts to find its footing, Deadpool 2’s overall sense of exuberance and self-aware nonsensicality is still evident throughout, showcasing both David Leitch’s talent to direct action and Reynolds’ commitment to his character.
Despite committed, enjoyable performances from Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds, The Hitman’s Bodyguard is tired, cliched and overlong.
Life certainly nails its big moments, but it’s frustrating that what could have been a memorable classic handicapped itself with hapless characters.
Deadpool is a comic book character with an interesting history. Premiering in the early 1990s, he was originally created as a parody of comics in general, with both the DC character Deathstroke and Marvel’s Spider-Man influencing his name and appearance (Wade Wilson is Deadpool’s real name, while Slade Wilson is the civilian name of Deathstroke). Over the years, though, the character has gained an unusually strong following, even for those that are not typical comic book fans.
I’ve been toiling over this review for about a week now. A large portion of mainstream film criticism has shifted towards tearing down films, blatantly nit-picking all aspects of a movie and continuously shouting nasty adjectives which seemingly constitutes as a review of a film. I get why it’s so big nowadays, being angry at or disappointed in something will always get a more humorous and memorable responses.
The Voices, the English language debut of French-Iranian director Marjane Satrapi, unarguably gives Ryan Reynolds the best acting role of his career. Sadly, his gleefully maniacal performance is the sole positive – and that is most likely due to the lack of interesting roles he’s been given throughout his career that make this performance stand out in comparison. The character he’s playing is badly devised and written, yet Reynolds somehow manages to make the character compelling.
