"A richly textured, well-performed piece that strains for contemporary relevance, but ultimately feels too safe and too uneventful to resonate (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"  

"No question, Garland's bold, original version of what horror can be when it swaps tired old tropes for visceral, visionary thrills is an absolute game-changer (…) Rating: ***** (out of 5)"  

"Polished prequel could use a shake-up (...) Despite the well-honed wizarding credentials of Yates and co-scripters Steve Kloves and Rowling, the series still can't seem to settle on a hero (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"  

"In truth, the original just edges out the sequel (...) But this snappy sequel proves Sonic's race isn't run yet. Far from it (…) Rating: *** (out of 5)"

"For a knockabout farce, 'The Nice Guys' scores high on the charts. Admittedly, setting itself up for a sequel may be overly optimistic (…) Rating: **** (out of 5)"  

"Bright, punchy and earnest, Webb’s affable sequel is tough to dislike despite its tonal whiplash and clumsy script, which is redeemed by Garfield, Stone and DeHaan’s powerhouse trio. Rating: *** (out of five)"
