Mean Girls: The Musical had the potential to be a hit, but this adaptation of the original 2004 movie fails to find a secure audience. Relying on the nostalgia and fans of the classic movie, this version feels like it's catered more towards the younger tik tok generation. From questionable costume choices of The Plastics to the odd way of shooting and overuse of autotune, Mean Girls: The Musical left us wanting to like this movie a lot more than we did.

Wonka tries too hard and uses what little flair it has in the visual elements of the film that will delight younger audiences for a moment. A lack of plot and charm, as well as bad pacing, make it a forgettable film that the musical numbers can’t save.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes expands the world of Panem and offers us a grittier, ruthless world than the original movies had. The areas are smaller, but the characters are bigger. Tom Blyth is exceptional as Coriolanus Snow and gives a layered performance. The world of Panem feels darker in this installment of The Hunger Games, more chaotic with escalated violence, and more focused on the Capitol to show their callous nature and how they hunger for violence as entertainment. Snow sees the world as an arena for the Hunger Games, and he will ensure he is the victor, unafraid of killing his closest companions to ensure Snow lands on top.

Spy Kids is normally a fun adventure, but Armageddon is a lazy copy with a lack of imagination that forgoes any character relationships, interesting gadgets and scenery for outdated CGI and shoehorned messages about doing the right thing. Is it entertaining? No, it’s lazy.

Titanic: The Musical struggled with its identity and main characters that lacked any charm with performances that had run out of energy, nearing the end of the tour and the night's performance. Most of the cast had little effort and ones that had talent and gave it their all were underutilised.

The Flash is saved from unwatchable to passable thanks to the supporting cast, notably Keaton’s Batman and Calle’s Supergirl. Issues arise with the plot and technical aspects of the movie, but there are enough surprises to make The Flash a decent movie, but not enough for a rewatch.

A beautiful cast brings the reinvented classic to life as elevated characters whose passion and desire shine.

Audiences will be captivated by the similarities between Ariel and Eric, who both share a sense of adventure and longing.
