Reviews Featuring Jeremy Irons

The Time Machine
Entertaining in parts, but shallow and nonsensical in far too many others. Not bad for filling an hour-and-a-half – but only if you’ve got a time machine of your own handy so you can then go back and watch something better.

Damage
The half-decent second half probably isn’t justification for sitting through the first half, unless you’re a fan of Irons, Binoche or soft porn.

The Mission
This is an outstanding film with many fine qualities, but it requires a bit of concentration to get the best out of it.

The Lion King
Regardless of Disney’s reasons for choosing to release this now, it’s a fantastic example of just how good the pre-Pixar generation toons could be. A real “mane” attraction (arf!).

Being Julia
Hats off to Annette Bening for a remarkable performance in an unremarkable movie.

The Merchant of Venice
Big, brash, bold, and not very good, Michael Radford’s bitten off more than he can chew with this Shakespeare-for-the-masses flop.
