Masters of the Universe is a bold, colourful and respectable passing of the torch that delivers on fresh, high-energy for audiences of this era. Its light-hearted ride reminds us why its fun to go to the movies in the first place.

Mortal Kombat II is an over-the-top, fast paced, fight filled adventure packed with blood and crowd pleasing moments. The practical sets, props and costumes are highlights and the brawls are fittingly gory. However, the plot is a jumpy, messy and not particularly engrossing journey and the dialogue is a very mixed bag.

The Magic Faraway Tree is an easy-going, sweet and welcome slice of family fantasy adventure. Its sets, props, costumes and creative worlds make it worth a cinema viewing and the cast are a likeable bunch who are all having a good time.

Sony Pictures have revealed the first trailer for the epic live-action, Masters of the Universe — Set to release only in cinemas on June 5, 2026.
