It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a….family of superheroes? That’s right, the Parr family from The Incredibles films have finally transferred into LEGO form in the newest creation from TT Games. So strap yourselves in for an adventure with a wacky family with wacky abilities who work together to stop crime.
 
What’s different about this game in contrast to other movie-tie-in LEGO games is that it starts with the second film rather than the first. For the most part, the game follows both movies faithfully tying in major characters, scenes and battles so if you’ve seen both movies, you basically know what’s going on and even if you haven’t, you’re getting the crash course on what happened in both Incredibles movies so it’s like you’re playing the movies without having to actually go see the movies.

​Taking place in between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, Peyton Reed and the rest of the creative team behind Ant-Man and The Wasp had complete freedom when it came to how to tell this story. The result is a fun and heartfelt film that feels more family friendly than any other MCU entry and places the focus on its female lead rather than its male one. In many ways, this pays off, as Evangeline Lilly is wildly charismatic as The Wasp, and her goal in the film is personal rather than world-ending. Plenty of the humor lands, and while there aren’t many fight scenes, they’re all well-choreographed and fun to watch. The villain is surprisingly interesting, too. While it’s great that the movie focuses on The Wasp, its title implies that its other hero has a big role too. That... isn’t really the case, as with a few tweaks Ant-Man could have been left out of the story altogether. With the movie being a personal journey for The Wasp and Hank Pym, Ant-Man joins much of the cast in the sense that he never feels necessary for more than bringing laughs. Ant-Man and The Wasp is a good movie, but this is a big issue that stays from beginning to end.

​It’s been well-over a decade, but the sequel to Pixar’s phenomenal film about a family of superheroes is finally here. Even with such a long wait and a tremendous amount of hype having been built up over the years, Incredibles 2 delivers in every way. The animation is some of Pixar’s very best, with the action scenes being intense and gorgeous. Every joke in the film lands, with Jack-Jack stealing the show in terms of big laughs. While all the members of the Incredibles get a chance to shine, focusing on the return of Elastigirl makes for a well-paced and well thought out movie. Incredibles 2 is a near-perfect film that works for all ages, and it’s an absolute must-see on the big screen.

When Solo: A Star Wars Story was first announced, there was a general confusion as to why it was happening. It didn’t seem like a necessary story to tell, as it would be impossible for it to escape from being predictable. On release, that belief has proven true. Solo is fun and entertaining at times, but unbelievably predictable from beginning to end. While many of the actors are great in their roles, nearly every new character is killed off in ways that are anything but interesting. Due to this, Solo amounts to being nothing more than an okay film. If you aren’t a huge Star Wars fan, it’s fine to give this one a pass and catch it on Netflix down the road.
