The Australian connections run deep with this film as both director Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya and Cruella) and Supergirl herself, Milly Alcock (House Of The Dragon), are from the land down under. The Antipodes approach permeates the feel of the film, and this outsider attitude unfortunately misses as much as it hits. There are also some strange thematic choices that bleed some of the interest away.

They introduce Krypto the Superdog early, and his presence in one of the few light moments in what is a very dark film, but then relegate him to a circumstance that keeps him off-screen almost the entire film. Almost all the scenes are also set in a very low-light world, and the film looks quite dull. The innate humour between the loose at the seams Supergirl and her straight-laced cousin Superman (David Corenswet) is also an under-utilised element.

All is not lost, though, for fans of one of DC’s most overlooked characters, Lobo. This bounty hunter from the peaceful planet Czarnia (of whom he killed the entire population) is played with real swagger by Jason Momoa. He’s a bad guy you love to hate, and he chews up every scene he’s in with an exciting amount of ferocity. As an introduction of the Supergirl character to the rebooted universe, it only partially succeeds, but as a first seen film version of Lobo, it gets top marks.

Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn’t just help you craft, it’s essential to one’s survival! Four misfits—Garrett “The Garbage Man” Garrison (Momoa), Henry (Hansen), Natalie (Myers) and Dawn (Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.

Having failed to defeat Aquaman the first time, Black Manta, still driven by the need to avenge his father’s death, will stop at nothing to take Aquaman down once and for all. This time Black Manta is more formidable than ever before, wielding the power of the mythic Black Trident, which unleashes an ancient and malevolent force. To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm, the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance. Together, they must set aside their differences in order to protect their kingdom and save Aquaman’s family, and the world, from irreversible destruction.

The series has always had a strong connection to the sense of the importance of family and that underlines what is in essence a very simple plot line. But then who drops into their local bijou for a deep and meaningful with this testosterone-charged franchise.

As far as action is concerned Fast X outdoes almost all that has come before and the set pieces are so over the top that they defy both physics and description. It delivers a level of bombast that will keep the young’s attention and the old’s head shaking in disbelief.

There are many surprises and revelations in store for fans just don’t look here for any clues about those goings-on as that would spoil the fun. Just be set for an action-packed 141 minutes of complete and utter motor madness where laws, any laws are just ignored suggestions. This is the kind of thrill ride best experienced on a giant screen and with a loud sound system.
