The Green Inferno (2013) 39% 2/5 EDIT “The Green Inferno is like the R-rated cut of a porn film - you can see where it's going, but all the good bits are missing.” – Neon Maniacs Sep 20, 2015 Full Review Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) 75% 4/5 EDIT “Avengers: Age of Ultron is a perfect example of the kind of crowd-pleasing blockbuster that audiences expect in this day and age, though I don't think it will achieve classic-status like the first film.” – Neon Maniacs Apr 22, 2015 Full Review Frank Miller's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014) 42% 3/5 EDIT “While it's not the mind-blowing event that the first film was, there's still enjoyment to be had, and Eva Green makes anything she stars in a must see.” – Neon Maniacs Sep 14, 2014 Full Review Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “While Serkis continues to do 'chimpressive' work in his second outing as Caesar, the standout ape performance of the film comes from Toby Kebbell as the violent and angry Koba.” – Neon Maniacs Jul 8, 2014 Full Review Edge of Tomorrow (2014) 91% 4/5 EDIT “One of the most enjoyable blockbusters of the year.” – Neon Maniacs Jun 3, 2014 Full Review X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Bryan Singer has undoubtedly made the best X-Men film since X2, with a great premise that is not only complex and rooted in sci-fi, but one that also manages to correct just about every crappy decision made in X-Men: The Last Stand.” – Neon Maniacs May 22, 2014 Full Review The Raid 2 (2014) 82% 5/5 EDIT “This is the perfect action movie.” – Neon Maniacs Mar 13, 2014 Full Review 300: Rise of an Empire (2014) 45% 4/5 EDIT “What 300: Rise of an Empire lacks in Gerard Butler, it makes up for tenfold in Eva Green.” – Neon Maniacs Mar 4, 2014 Full Review Thor: The Dark World (2013) 67% 4/5 EDIT “When Thor: The Dark World is firing on all cylinders, it's hard to find a more purely enjoyable time at the movies.” – Neon Maniacs Oct 31, 2013 Full Review Machete Kills (2013) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Machete Kills aims for 'so bad, it's good', but ends up just plain bad.” – Neon Maniacs Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Gravity (2013) 96% 5/5 EDIT “Gravity is a once in a generation film event.” – Neon Maniacs Oct 3, 2013 Full Review Blind Alley (2011) 3/5 EDIT “Even with its final act drop-of-the-ball, BLIND ALLEY is easy to recommend to fans of stylish Euro horror flicks, and to anyone who longs for a return of the good old days, when style and colourful camera-work reigned supreme.” – Neon Maniacs Oct 1, 2013 Full Review Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone (2007) 71% 5/5 EDIT “Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone adapts the original story with new, cutting edge, CG-assisted animation that proves to be the pinnacle of the format thus far. Thankfully, all of these new bells and whistles haven't tarnished the story.” – Neon Maniacs Aug 21, 2013 Full Review Pacific Rim (2013) 72% 5/5 EDIT “How many of these recent blockbusters have made you feel 12 years old again? Not a whole lot, but thankfully, Guillermo Del Toro has nailed that feeling of pure wonder and amazement with Pacific Rim.” – Neon Maniacs Jul 9, 2013 Full Review Berserk: The Golden Age Arc I - The Egg of the King (2012) 4/5 EDIT “This hugely entertaining film is a must for fans of hard-hitting, action-packed anime.” – Neon Maniacs Jul 3, 2013 Full Review Only God Forgives (2013) 41% 5/5 EDIT “Only God Forgives makes Drive look like Cannonball Run by comparison.” – Neon Maniacs Jun 27, 2013 Full Review The Place Beyond the Pines (2012) 79% 4/5 EDIT “The Place Beyond the Pines is a deeply affecting family drama about paternal responsibility, a riveting crime story, a cop movie and a tragedy.” – Neon Maniacs Apr 29, 2013 Full Review American Mary (2012) 61% 3/5 EDIT “While the film has its problems, there is a lot to like here for die-hard horror fans and body mod enthusiasts.” – Neon Maniacs Mar 14, 2013 Full Review Maniac (2012) 53% 5/5 EDIT “Maniac is that rare horror remake that completely outclasses its source in every sense. And when you consider how much we love the original, that's really saying something.” – Neon Maniacs Jan 31, 2013 Full Review The Man With the Iron Fists (2012) 52% EDIT “Given the talent on board, this registers as a disappointment, but even with the clunky dialogue and subpar fight scenes, it's watchable fun.” – FILMINK (Australia) Dec 7, 2012 Full Review John Carter (2012) 52% 4/5 EDIT “John Carter is a fantastic fusion of old-fashioned adventure excitement and modern blockbuster spectacle. In short, it's wonderful.” – IGN Movies AU Mar 2, 2012 Full Review The Raid: Redemption (2011) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “The combination of a great premise, brilliantly-inventive direction, incredible fight sequences and spirited performances makes it easy for us to already proclaim that The Raid is the action movie of the year.” – IGN Movies AU Feb 14, 2012 Full Review The Secret World of Arrietty (2010) 94% 4/5 EDIT “While this is a deeply rewarding film, people with short attention spans might not get as much out of it. Those willing to let these wonderful little characters into their hearts however, will find a film they won't soon forget.” – IGN Movies AU Jan 8, 2012 Full Review Immortals (2011) 50% 4/5 EDIT “With Immortals, Tarsem has created a beautiful and sumptuous mythological epic with visual strengths that far outweigh the weaknesses of its fairly standard script.” – IGN Movies AU Nov 15, 2011 Full Review Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010) 54% 3/5 EDIT “Maybe Stone's growth as a filmmaker mirrors that of Gordon's as a person; having had time to calm down a bit over the years, he seems to have settled into a more relaxed state.” – IGN Movies AU Nov 15, 2011 Full Review
