This reboot directed by Neil Marshal is borderline unwatchable. The backstory is boring and redundant. The side characters are 2-dimensional and forgettable. It’s made to look like Del Toro’s original creations but it lacks authenticity and the execution staggers along a whimsical clutter of flashbacks and painful exposition.

Mary Queen of Scots
It’s an different take from director Josie Rourke, who makes her feature film debut, guided by the charismatic Ronan and Robbie, great cinematography and good directing it’s a very entertaining film from start to finish and gives a bit of food for thought.
The Mule
I find no comfort in watching an aging superstar slowly burn out into the emptiness of black hole it becomes. It’s once gleaming and powerful self with highlights such as Unforgiven, Flags of our Father and American Sniper, reduced to the amateurism of 15:17 to Paris and now his latest directorial film, The Mule.
