Okay, it's double-header time, as we come to some of the last of what could be called "blockbusters" for this year - and wow haven't we been treated to some prime cuts at this end of the year...!
Review: Real Steel...
( May include spoilers... )
The Final Verdict... Not exactly requiring any intellectual exertion, but certainly a good dose of popcorn movie goodness with impressive effects. Good family fare, without being dumbed-down or "just for the kidz". Score: 8 / 10
The "Main Event" was still to come, however, and that came in the form of the Spielberg/Jackson(/Moffat) collaboration Tintin...etc I'll admit to being not entirely enthralled by the idea when the project was announced, but then came the trailers, and I became a believer...
Review: The Adventures Of Tintin - The Secret Of The Unicorn...
( May include spoilers... )
The Final Verdict... Seems longer than it actually is, but that's no bad thing. Even better family fodder than Real Steel, and a definite contender for the "If You see Only One Movie This Year" accolade... Score: 8.5 / 10
So, what else is there to look forward to? The Thing (Prequel)? Errr, one of those teen-vampire things? If this is "all she wrote", we certainly go out on a high.
