Playing With Fire – kids’ review! 4.5 stars
Apart from Sonic The Hedgehog this is my favourite film at the moment and I think lots of kids my age would like it (I am 8). I’ve watched it about seven times now. I’ll probably watch it again later. It never gets boring. The story is that Jake, who everyone calls Supe, is a… Playing With Fire – kids’ review! Read More

Apollo 11 – kids’ review! 3 stars
Created from entirely archival footage, some previously unreleased, about the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon – led by commander Neil Armstrong and pilots Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. I love space – Ad Astra is my favourite film – but this film didn’t really hit the right buttons for me. Apollo 11… Apollo 11 – kids’ review! Read More
Spies In Disguise – kids’ review! 4 stars
I thought Spies in Disguise was exciting and very funny. I saw it at half term with my brother and my friends. It’s about a top spy called Lance Sterling who is turned into a pigeon by Walter, a really clever teenage boy who makes amazing gadgets but doesn’t want to kill anyone. I was… Spies In Disguise – kids’ review! Read More
Sonic the Hedgehog – kids’ review! 5 stars
The first thing I said to my mum after watching Sonic the Hedgehog was “That was AMAZING! Five stars!” My favourite character was Sonic because he was the fastest thing in the world. He did look like a blue cuddly toy. You can tell by his big eyes how he’s feeling. The base of the… Sonic the Hedgehog – kids’ review! Read More
Dolittle – kids’ review! 4 stars
I was only bored a tiny, tiny bit when I went to see Dolittle with my mum, and the time went quite quickly. I thought the film was very funny, especially when Plimpton (Kumail Nanjiani), an ostrich, is upset and says his dad was right, and he should have been an omelette. His frenemy, Yoshi… Dolittle – kids’ review! Read More
Cats – kids’ review! 1 stars
This film is a U which means anyone can see it even little kids. It is a little bit scary though because of the cat costumes. I saw the trailer before and I thought the cats would be in a house a lot of the time but when I saw the film they weren’t. It… Cats – kids’ review! Read More
