The Pact(2012) A woman returns to her childhood home, in the wake of her death of her mother & the disappearance of her sister, but supernatural forces may be involved. Not stunningly original but still fairly spooky and creepy with a good air of mystery. Fine cinematography, too.The ending is little hard to fathom. A strong lead performance from Caity Lotz, also starring Casper Van Dien, Mark Steger & Agnes Bruckner 6.5/10
Fantastic Four 3/10 dreadful superhero reboot, cast are too young with no charisma or chemistry and the movie itself takes far too long to get to anything even remotely exciting and since when were sue and johnny step siblings?
A pointless exercise in PC filmmaking.
Batman v Superman - fell asleep half way through it. Up until then it wasn't as bad as everyone was saying. Compared to the dark knight trilogy it's complete wank though.

Having them being step siblings wasn't the issue its biggest problem is none characters/actors had any chemistry. Reed and Ben are supposed to be best friends in comics but you don't a sense of those or Reeds history with Doom. You can change something but has to work look at the flash, the history between the Barry Allen and West family it was totally made up for the tv show the only thing right about it is Barry and Iris get married. In the comics Barrys mother does get murdered but he isn't adopted by the West family you only get to see Iris West and even then she's totally grown up in her early 20's she's white and Wally West is white and is her nephew not her brother in show, now in the comics there's two Wally's the original white version and the new 52 version that's black.
Joe West again is totally made up for show and is Barrys adoptive father and kinda making Iris is sister but not blood related or him formally being adopted again totally different from comics but it looks but more importantly chemistry which FF doesn't Johnny and Sue are supposed to be close again you don't see any of that adopted or blood related it's a issue with the lack of chemistry and character development.
Midnight At Madame Tussauds(1936)
After accepting a bet,a financier spends a night in the chamber of horrors at Madame Tussauds.A stylish crime drama with particularly good performances from James Carew,Charles Oliver and Lucile Lisle.
7/10
Ghostbusters(2016)
I don't know what film the critics watched because the positive comments they gave this mess of a film are completely unjustified,what was justified though is it being the most disliked trailer in the history of YouTube.Abysmal acting,(Melissa McCarthy is so obnoxious its nauseating)terrible script,clichéd slapstick comedy,below par CGI,pointless cameos but what's worse than all that is the relentless man hating.It lacks everything that made the original a classic,this is epitome of a Hollywood that seems to be completely out of ideas.
4/10
