An enterprising Saudi girl signs up for her school's Koran recitation competition in hopes of raising the remaining funds she needs to buy a green bicycle she desperately wants.

Charming in the little story it told which also worked as a revealing insight into the culture as a whole.

In the year 2154, the very wealthy live on a man-made space station called Elysium while the rest of the population resides on a ruined Earth. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max, an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission that could save his life and the lives of millions on Earth.

Visually stunning and excitingly but the story is too simple by comparison.

Native American spirit warrior Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into a legend of justice.[Metacritic]

The last part with the Lone Ranger and the William Tell Overture is good but we had to spend 2 hours getting to that point through a torturous origin story.

Summoned to Japan by an old acquaintance, Wolverine becomes embroiled in a conflict that forces him to confront his own demons.[Metacritic]

Emotionally the film relies upon what happened in X3 which was a disaster generally but extraordinarily in how it threw away the phoenix saga and it leaves a bad taste every time they touch upon it here. It's OK but bloodless and ordinary.
