long in the memory. And we will head to Miami to hear from Roger Federer | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
who is back in action since he hurt his knee running battle for twin | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
girls. But now on BBC News, Hello, and welcome to | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's | :00:07. | :00:31. | |
cinema releases is Mark Kermode. We have the club from the Chilean | :00:32. | :00:43. | |
direct. And you may have noticed, that man versus Superman is out. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Unless you have been on Mars, you would have noticed that. Zootropolis | :00:50. | :01:01. | |
looks good. It is set and designed on a city where animals live in. Our | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
heroine has just achieved her dream of becoming a police officer. She is | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
put on parking duty but let's the centre of a missing animal. Here is | :01:15. | :01:28. | |
a clip. Wait a minute. Polar bear flair will stop. We have got to go. | :01:29. | :01:39. | |
Whose car is it? Mr big and he doesn't like me. We have got to go. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
We're not leaving, this is a crime scene. It will be an even bigger | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
crime scene if he finds me. Raymond? Is that Kevin? Long time, no see. | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
How about you forget you have seen me, for old times sake? | :01:58. | :02:13. | |
What did you do to make Mr big so mad at you. I may have sold him a | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
very expensive rug that was made from the fur of a skunk. You are | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
laughing all the way through it. That is what I like about it. It is | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
about predators returning to their wilder state and prey being in fear | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
of them. But it is a story of tolerance and people getting along | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
together, love and understanding at a time of mistrust, fear and | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
loathing. It is a story that has a good message, but it doesn't feel | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
like it is ladling it on. You get the animation, which is really | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
colourful and there is such detail in the construction of Zootropolis. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
The jokes are consistently funny all the way through. I started laughing | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
in the first couple of minutes and I laughed all the way through. It is | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
one of those things where you like the characters and care about them. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
It is a solid piece of work, proper family entertainment. The jokes work | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
for young and old alike. It doesn't feel like it has still nod and wink | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
at the older people in the audience. It is a real holiday treat. Nobody | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
was more surprised and me. I really enjoyed it. It sounds like a wet | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
Easter Day, if there is one. The club, you will have to try and see | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
this out. We have reviewed the films of this director eyes-macro. This is | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
a safe house, where the church are trying to safeguard the priests. | :03:58. | :04:13. | |
This is a film that genuinely deserves the reviews, it is a flip | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
side looking out of the window. Other times it plays like a hellish | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
version of Father Ted. It is when the shifting times are so well | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
handled and the subject matter is so dark, it was a finely honed piece of | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
work. It is not for everybody and you will have to go out of your way | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
to find it. A director at the height of their powers in terms of managing | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
difficult material and making it into something completely | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
unexpected. Even what we have just shown, it looks very grim. It has a | :04:53. | :05:02. | |
really cold and austere look to it, which works really well with the | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
subject matter. I know why you said Father Ted, I am getting more Harold | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Pinter. That is it good comparison, which doesn't extend to our next | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
offering. I know this is the one you want to talk about, Gavin. I am a | :05:17. | :05:26. | |
Batman fan. This is the follow up to Man Of Steel. BCB ends battle from | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
the tip of Bruce Wayne on the ground and looking at it on the perspective | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
of collateral damage. He sees one of his towers destroyed and this sets | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
up a rivalry between him and Superman. Also their altar egos. | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
Here is a clip. What is your position on bat vigilante in Gotham? | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
The daily planet, do I own this one, or is this the other guy? Good | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
people living in fear. Don't believe everything you hear, son. I have | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
seen it, he thinks he is above the law. The daily planet thinking they | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
are above the law is hypocritical, wouldn't you say? Every time you are | :06:19. | :06:27. | |
here, you write an editorial about an alien, if you want to, could burn | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
the whole place down. And there couldn't be anything to be done to | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
stop it. I don't share your opinion. Maybe it is Gotham city and me, we | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
have a bad history. I went into this wanting to like it. In Man of Steel, | :06:47. | :06:59. | |
became a film of super heroes hitting each other. This doesn't | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
solve any of the original problems, despite starting appearing to solve | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
the problems of the end of the previous film. Flashbacks, dream | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
sequences, a lot of it felt like a setup for another movie. Two and a | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
half hours, is an awful lot of setting up. Considering the story | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
isn't that completed, they managed to complicate it enormously. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
Secondly, they managed to mistake murkiness of the darkness. The | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Christopher Nolan, dark night movies had the sense of depth. This | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
doesn't. This mistakes at length for depth. There are some interesting | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
performances, but many get lost in the general stodgy, morass of what | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
is going on. It does do exactly what happened with Man of Steel, it leads | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
towards a great big, spectacular punch-up, which is far less | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
interesting than it ought to be. The shame of this is, I want fans to get | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
a movie they deserve. This has to do well to break even. It may do so, | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
but the reviews have not been kind to it. I did go in wanting to find | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
stuff to like it but came out feeling exhausted, feeling like it | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
had managed to make stodgy and lumpen, something that should be so | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
much lighter on its feet. You reference dark night, it shows you | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
can rework things imaginatively and provide a psychological that to you | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
didn't see before? Weirdly, psychological that is what is | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
missing. In the central conflict between Batman and Superman, it's | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
never established. It is a basic misunderstanding that goes on for a | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
long time and doesn't seem to have any great heft. There is a huge | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
amount of people onto vacating about monsters, day versus night. There is | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
an incredibly annoying performance from Lex Luther. You remember him in | :09:14. | :09:32. | |
another film, and you think, is this meant to be threatening. Jeremy | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Irons is in a new thing great. Then he is gone. There is an entire 40 | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
minutes in which he is not there. The problem is, for a huge | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
production movie like this to be disappointing, people think film | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
critics want to dislike movies, but I don't. I want them to be better. | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
Tom Olbison is flavour of the month in all sorts of things. The best of | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
the week is? High-rise. People either love or hate this. It is a | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
novel from the 1970s and they have gone and made this period so it is | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
the future looking at the past, looking the future. It is the story | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
about the high-rise that becomes part of society and then starts to | :10:26. | :10:39. | |
collapse. It is a fantastic script. Charismatic, central performance by | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Tom Hiddleston. He is brilliant. He has got better since we interviewed | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
him at the British film awards. We couldn't hear him because of the | :10:53. | :11:04. | |
screaming fans. DVD, Bridge Of Spies Tom Hanks and Mark Rylands? Tom | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
Hanks is every bit as good as Mark Rylands. It is Stephen Spielberg. | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
The difference in styles between Tom Hanks and Mark Rylands, makes these | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
two characters have Sparks between them. And that is what is lacking | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
between Batman versus Superman. Also, Mark Rylands does the best | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
sniffs on-screen. It is worth watching. You will find more news | :11:35. | :11:43. | |
