Well cast and stunning to look at, but rigid dialogue, surprisingly weak characterization and patchy plotting make Man Of Steel a bloated attempt to bring some Batman-flavoured darkness to Superman.

Wit and fun abound in Joss Whedon's hilarious and brilliantly accessible take on Shakespeare. Charm oozeth from every pore.

The Bourne Legacy undermines the excellent franchise that came before it with weak characters, excessive dull dialogue and no sense of urgency or threat. Unforgivably boring.

Soul Surfer is a God-bothering, preachy and patronising film, only distinguished by a strong lead performance by AnnaSophia Robb and lovely-looking Hawaii.
