• Conan The Barbarian
  Cardboard performances, dodgy 3-D and uninspiring set-pieces without the legendary music score make this ambitious attempt a routine remake that fails to improve on any aspects of the 1982 original.
  
• Immortals
  It’s Superman VS. Mickey Rourke in this larger-than life, big scale epic that explodes with breathtaking battle sequences that are sure-to-please today’s video game junkies.
  
• Real Steel
  It’s Rocky with robots in this innovative boxing film that jumps off the screen with creative energy and a father and son dynamic that has not only “Real Steel” but real heart.
  
• The Three Musketeers
  This rather pointless reworking of Dumas’ famous tale sees Bloom wasted in a disposable villainous role while the action and stunts raise only lukewarm interest.
  
• Cowboys & Aliens
  Craig makes a solid cowboy but is somewhat too self-serious in this big-budget action fantasy that spells fun but lacks a tongue-in-cheek injection of humour for it to really soar.
  
• Super 8
  Energetic youngsters and a train-wreck to end-all train-wrecks, inject life into this wannabe alien extravaganza that plays out like “The Goonies” meets “E.T.
  
• Abduction
  Twilight’s Taylor Lautner stars in this full-fledged teen thriller that muddles along, producing only moderate thrills & minor excitement.
  
• The Change-Up
  Crass, crude & gross-out gags a-plenty as Reynolds & Bateman inject contemporary raunch into the 80s body swap formula

• Crazy, Stupid, Love
  Carell & Gosling add polish to this martial crisis dramedy that occasionally tickles the funny bone. 
  
• What’s Your Number
  Faris and Evans are too good for this pointless drivel – this so-called comedy, laden with smut, should have been abandoned at the scriptwriting stage.
  
• Sucker Punch
  Visual impact with no substance, a confusing big-budget nightmare for all involved.
  
• One Day
  Based on a best-selling novel, Hathaway and Sturgess put in winning performances in this emotionally engrossing love-story of the ages.
  
• Bridesmaids
  Female version of “The Hangover” is a gag-fest reliant on low-brow toilet humour for the big-laughs – ultimately a rowdy chick flick that is overlong and a tad pretentious.  
  
• Fright Night
  Ultra-creepy Colin Farrel performance in this dark, brooding, bloodthirsty vampire flick that fails to improve on the 1985 original.
  
• Captain America: The First Avenger
  Enjoyable comic-book caper with a neat nod-&-a-wink finale.
  
• Thor
  Enthralling comic-book fantasy that serves as a great introduction to the mighty character.
  
• Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
  Breathtaking special effects that exceed all expectations make this stunning fantasy flick easily the best “Apes” film since the 1968 original.
  
• Water For Elephants
  The “Titanic” of circus films with captivating storytelling, compelling performances and a touching love story.

• Limitless
  Intriguing, break-neck thriller with engaging situations enhanced by solid performances.
  
• Your Highness
  Filthy sword and sorcery spoof that is a pitiful waste of talent.
  
• The Hangover Part II
  A re-working of the original elements but less inspired and nowhere near as funny.
  
• Friends With Benefits
  Timberlake and Kunis dirty-it-up in this sporadically funny but uninhibited look at life, love and modern relationships.
  
• Pirates Of The Caribbean – On Stranger Tides
  Exciting “fountain of youth” swashbuckler with a neat mermaid twist.
  
• Fast & Furious 5
  The Rock is the new macho ingredient in this testosterone fuelled bumper sticker that tries hard to breathe new life into the somewhat stale rev-head formula.

• Bad Teacher
  Diaz is a foul-mouthed gold-digger in this appalling and unfunny comedy that relies on shock value for laughs.
  
• No Strings Attached
  Portman is irritating and Kutcher is a goofball in this juvenile romantic comedy with little moral value.
  
• Larry Crowne
  Hanks and Roberts do their thing in this light-weight, middle-aged romance that exudes old-fashioned charm.
  
• Source Code
  Gyllenhaal is in top-form in this cool time travel twister that is suspenseful and exciting but inevitably repetitive.
  
• Just Go With It
  This typical Sandler comedy is a contemporary re-telling of “Cactus Flower” with Kidman’s hoola-hoop cameo an unexpected treat.

• Unknown
  Neeson is solid as usual in this edge-of-your-seat thriller that is a cross-between “Frantic” and “Taken” but not as good as either.

• Hall Pass
  Wilson & Sudeikis make a very funny team while Applegate finds a moment to shine in this dirty little ditty from The Farrelly Brothers

• Zookeeper
  Strictly for the kiddies, this talking-animal flick sees Kevin James doing his big-man slapstick-act while Dawson is cute as the love interest.
  
• The Lincoln Lawyer
  McConaughey is superb as the con-man defense attorney who operates from his Lincoln limo, interesting but no “Witness For The Prosecution”.
  
• Paul
  Two British comic book geeks clash with a foul-mouthed alien in this inconsistently funny road-trip sci-fi spoof.
  
• Something Borrowed
  Well-acted comedy drama that looks closely at love and friendship is ultimately an interesting relationship piece that improves as it progresses.
  
• The Dilemma
  Vince Vaughn exhibits pathos in this comedy drama that is a diatribe on honesty and relationships.
  
• Red Riding Hood
  Muddling re-working of the famous fairytale, filled with eye-catching visuals but ultimately runs out of steam.
  
• The Mechanic
  Statham and Foster do their bit in this amped-up action thriller that is a remake of the 1970s classic but in the end Bronson and Vincent did it better.
  
• Mr. Popper’s Penguins
  Carrey bust his guts for the jokes but it’s the cute lovable penguins that steal the limelight.
  
• Scream 4
  Run-of-the-mill teen slasher-flick with amped up nastiness.
  
• The Green Hornet
  Interesting attempt to update the classic Bruce Lee crime caper with annoying 3-D but its uneven tone suggests it doesn’t know whether it wants to be a spoof or a real film.
  
• The Eagle
  Tatum handles the physicality of the role but the overall production fails to shine.
  
• Arthur
  Brand tries his best to replicate the impeccable Dudley Moore performance but unfortunately comes off second-best - who would have guessed?

• Chalet Girl
  Likeable star-making turn by Felicity Jones in this old-fashioned ski resort romance that is as predictable as the snow-capped mountains.

• Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son
  Lawrence gives it his all but sadly enough is enough; this tired formula with the same old jokes barely raises a chuckle.
  
• I am Number Four
  Aliens and bounty hunters unite in this exciting teen fantasy flick with a sense of intrigue and wonder.
