Sonic the Hedgehog | Average Guy Movie Review

After ten years of living in hiding on Earth, a supersonic hedgehog named... errr... Sonic is a tad bored, not to mention lonely. But when an over-use of his powers draws the attention of a crazy, moustachioed scientist, Sonic must turn to the local Sheriff for help. Can they get him to safety before the evil moustache... I mean scientist catches up with them? If you're looking for some way to entertain your children, you can't go far wrong with a hyperactive, blue hedgehog. Sonic the Hedgehog is a good family film, one that will keep your little ones glued to the screen, and you mildly entertained. The story takes the well established computer game characters and plants them in a generic road trip movie. Sonic is in trouble and he goes to Sheriff Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) in the hope that he can help. Together they go on a journey of discovery whilst also going on a literal journey to escape Robotnik. This does provide a couple of interesting life lessons for chil

Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn | Average Guy Movie Review

Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and the Joker have gone their separate ways, and while Harley deals with going solo in her usual calm and controlled fashion, word of the break-up quickly spreads throughout Gotham City. Now every person Harley has wronged, hurt, stolen from or generally pissed off - it's a very long list - is crawling out of the woodwork for some much needed retribution. Top of the list is crime boss Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor) A.K.A "Black Mask", who wants to carve the little Harlequin into pieces, that is unless she can retrieve something that was stolen from him. It's a job that will find Harley making some new friends along the way... and in some very odd places. After establishing the character within the DCEU - or whatever the hell they're calling it now - in Suicide Squad, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn is finally given chance to properly let loose in Birds of Prey. This is Harley's story, as Harley would tell it - a vibrant, co

Bad Boys For Life | Average Guy Movie Review

When someone tries to kill Mike Lowrey (Will Smith), he and his partner Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are forced to work with A.M.M.O. - the Miami Police Department's new investigative team - in order to catch the killer. But will their old-school methods fit in with A.M.M.O.'s high-tech approach to crime fighting? That's right, they're back. Miami's baddest, most foul-mouthed cops are back, and they're just as much fun as they always were. New directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah have managed to inject new life into the franchise without forgetting where it came from. Bad Boys For Life is just as funny and action-packed as previous instalments, with all the gunfights, explosions and chaos you'd expect of an investigation led by Mike and Marcus - the shootout in a mechanic's workshop being a perfect example. But Adil and Bilall have tweaked the mix just a little. Essentially, they took the "Bayhem" out of the equation and replace

Fast & Furious 9 | Moustache Trailer Reaction

The first trailer for Fast & Furious 9 has landed, and as you'd expect it looks more insane than the last instalment... if that's possible. If you haven't seen the trailer, check it out below.  It all starts with Dom (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) living on a farm, having traded their fast cars for the quiet life in order to raise little Brian. But trouble is always around the corner, and once again Dom will have to put his crew of super secret agent drivers back together, to face a new foe, and an old one too. Get ready for a lot of conversations about "family". This is where the issues begin with this trailer. I'm not talking about the ludicrous nature of Fast & Furious and the way it plays fast and loose with the laws of physics. No, I'm referring to the fact that it's loaded with spoilers. We're introduced to Jacob (John Cena) - the movie's big bad - who Roman (Tyrese) describes as a "master thief
