Special: Godzilla: King Of Monsters, Detective Pikachu, The Dirt Mini-Reviews

Godzilla: King Of Monsters:

Synopsis: The new story follows the heroic efforts of the crypto-zoological agency Monarch as its members face off against a battery of god-sized monsters, including the mighty Godzilla, who collides with Mothra, Rodan, and his ultimate nemesis, the three-headed King Ghidorah. When these ancient super-species - thought to be mere myths - rise again, they all vie for supremacy, leaving humanity's very existence hanging in the balance.

My thoughts: Lots of action, more than it's predecessors which let's be honest, is what I want out of a Godzilla movie. The human drama angle is a nice cherry on top but shouldn't be the main focus like in the most recent Godzilla. They seemed to have learned from their mistake adding action but the human drama angle was not great, but whatever, I got to see Godzilla throwdown with a few different monsters so I'm happy.

Final verdict: 4 giant monsters fighting out of 5.

Detective Pikachu:

Synopsis: The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City - a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world - they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.

My thoughts: It's probably the fanboy in me but I really loved this movie. Seeing Pokemon in the real world interacting with humans just warms my heart. The big reveal at the end I seen coming but it still makes for great storytelling and I hope we get to revisit Tim and Detective Pikachu in the future even if this seems like a difficult film to sequel without taking a giant awkward side-step.

Final verdict: 5 Pokemon partners out of 5.

The Dirt:

Synopsis: Based on the bestselling autobiography from Mötley Crüe, the film is an unflinching tale of success and excess as four misfits rise from the streets of Hollywood to the heights of international fame.

My thoughts: This was little more than a reason to show the band doing various things that are considered "bad behaviour" while painting them in a nicer light. It was mildly interesting since I knew nothing about how Motley Crue came to be and their careers but overall this movie doesn't offer too much.

Final verdict: 5 Pokemon partners out of 5.
