The Angry Birds Movie 2
- 2019
- UK
- 1h 36min
- U
- Directed by: Thurop Van Orman
- Cast: Dove Cameron, Awkwafina, Peter Dinklage
When Eagle Island villain Zeta (Jones) starts lobbing ice bombs at Piggy Island, ruler Leonard (Hader) bonds with angry birds (Sudeikis, McBride, Gad) to try and clip her wings. Half-knowing and half-derivative, it’s cheerful but gaudy and relentless and the story isn’t strong enough to support all the half-baked set pieces.

The Art of Racing in the Rain
- 2019
- US
- 1h 49min
- Directed by: Simon Curtis
- Cast: Milo Ventimiglia, Kevin Costner (voice), Amanda Seyfried
Enzo (Costner), a dog owned by racing driver Denny (Ventimiglia), looks back over his life and the changes that have happened in it. An unashamedly old-fashioned weepie where tragedy appears on every bend; some will find it corny, but Ventimiglia is a solid leading man whose conviction carries the film.

Dora and the Lost City of Gold
- 2019
- US
- 1h 42min
- PG
- Directed by: James Bobin
- Cast: Isabela Moner, Eugenio Derbez, Michael Peña, Eva Longoria, Danny Trejo
Dora (Moner) is a teenager who spent her childhood exploring the jungle with her parents (Longoria and Peña), but when her parents go missing, Dora leaves high school to find them. A sweet Spy Kids-style adventure that never serves up anything too scary, complex or upsetting for young viewers; Moner gives a warm and delightful performance and is the main reason to watch.

Fast & Furious presents: Hobbs & Shaw
- 2019
- US
- 2h 16min
- 12A
- Directed by: David Leitch
- Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Roman Reigns, Eiza Gonzalez, Eddie Marsan, Cliff Curtis, Helen Mirren
Hobbs (Johnson) and Shaw (Statham) reluctantly team up to stop nasty Brixton (Elba) from doing bad things. It should have been a hoot, but while the two leads have proven comedy chops, a sketchy script doesn’t give them enough to do and there’s a general lack of imagination. The tank is half empty on this one.

The Lion King
- 2019
- US

- PG
- Directed by: Jon Favreau
- Cast: Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, John Kani, John Oliver, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, James Earl Jones
The photorealistic version of the beloved Disney story has memorable visuals, impressive set-pieces and adorable yet credible animals, but precisely because they’re so realistic, it’s weird when they speak and even stranger when they sing. All the star voices in the world don’t count when you can’t simulate heart and soul.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
- 2019
- US / UK
- 2h 45min
- Directed by: Quentin Tarantino
- Cast: James Marsden, Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio
Past-his-peak actor Rick Dalton (DiCaprio) and his stuntman and buddy Cliff Booth (Pitt) are living in Hollywood in 1969; then Sharon Tate (Robbie) and her husband Roman Polanski move in next door. Compelling and provocative, but uneven; for all the fine performances, black comedy and savage violence, Tarantino may have bitten off more than he can chew.

Playmobil: The Movie
- 2019
- France / Germany
- Directed by: Lino DiSalvo
- Cast: Anya Taylor-Joy, Daniel Radcliffe, Kenan Thompson
Marla (Taylor-Joy) and Charlie (Bateman) are siblings who come to terms with grief by entering a fantasy world where they become Playmobil figures. Taylor-Joy is delightful with both live-action and voice acting, but it misses the warmth and storytelling flair of the best toy adaptations and plays it overly safe.
