Our Kind of Traitor
Unremarkable potboiler from Le Carre, with a disappointingly bland turn from Ewan McGregor.

Dawn of Justice
Mind-boggling, convoluted actioner that seems to have been written by picking ideas out of a hat.

Captain America
Civil War
Extended super hero punch up, not dissimilar to the news man brawls of 'Anchorman'.

The Jungle Book
Seamless CGI remake, lacking in humour and executed with the seriousness of LOTR or Apocalypse Now.

Text-book rom-com that rebooted the genre and set the template for the next 3 decades.
