Spongebob squarepants: sponge out of water
I've not really watched the show and I haven't seen the first film however the trailer made it look amusing. I was disappointed to find a really dull film that didn't seem to cater to any audience. All the bits that made me chuckle in the trailer were the only amusing bits in the film bar a film-stealing voice-over piece by the amazing Matt Berry.
Cinderella
A very well made film with some excellent casting, outstanding set and costume design and a beautiful score. It's just a classic tale told in a really solid way. Also Helena Bonham Carter totally sings Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo over the end credits (right at the end) which was a nice easter egg for those that sit through the credits.
The Frozen short beforehand felt a little rushed but by the end of the short I was humming the new song and in love with the new little snow things.
Seventh Son
Actual rubbish. It had all the ingredients to be incredible and it just felt flat. I can only assume it was down to the script and the score which was trying too hard to make it feel epic. I heard another couple upon exiting saying "It was bad but not in a fun B-movie way" and they were totally right. You couldn't even enjoy a bit of fun cheeseyness, it was just bland. Maybe it was too by the numbers?
The voices
I had been really looking forward to this little crazy film and the wait totally paid off. It was utterly mental, Ryan Reynolds is absolutely outstanding in this film and shows that he really can act (he really needs to be in more things). Sometimes it's really jumpy and yet it's also hilarious and disturbing and it switches through each emotion all of the time so you never know what's going to happen next which is fantastic. I thought it was really well written with some great characters and if you get the chance to check it out I really recommend that you do so.
