I don't think this is as good as the original. In fact, I'd go as far as saying it's almost the same story, just 20 years later with more smartphones and much sexier-looking Apple Macs.

Stanley Tucci is still an absolute legend, but everything else feels very familiar. I think The Devil Wears Prada was a perfect product of its time, and some of that magic just doesn't work quite as well in 2026.

Growing up, my parents owned a fabric shop where they sold fabrics and made Indian clothes. I grew up surrounded by rolls of material in every colour imaginable and would often go to Dilbag Cloth House in Bradford with my dad to stock up. Without realising it, I learnt about different fabrics and materials simply by being around them, while our house was constantly filled with the sound of an industrial sewing machine going at all hours of the day.

You'd think all of that would have left me with some sort of fashion knowledge.

It didn't.

I still know absolutely nothing about fashion and am reminded of this on an almost daily basis.

What I do enjoy, though, is the drama that seems to follow the fashion industry around. Ugly Betty brilliantly took the piss out of it, while Apple TV's La Maison was an excellent drama about a family running an international fashion house in Paris. I'm still hoping we get more of that.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is enjoyable enough, and it was nice seeing everyone back, but it never quite recaptures what made the original work so well.

3/5

This film is great, and I remember seeing it at the cinema back in 2006, during the height of Ugly Betty. It definitely takes me back to that era.

Although this film does raise some questions...

Like, how the hell is there a reference to Emily in Paris in 2006?

We had to re-watch this classic before watching The Devil Wears Prada 2, and it still holds up brilliantly almost 20 years later.

One thing's for sure, Stanley Tucci is an absolute legend! He makes this film and provides some of the best blunt, dark comedy moments throughout. It really wouldn't have been the same without him.

Now bring on The Devil Wears Prada 2.

4/5

Who doesn’t love an over-the-top Michael Bay movie? Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are the perfect comedy duo together. I wonder if Will has ever slapped Martin?

Anyhow, it’s a great, ridiculous film and I love it! The Diana King Shy Guy song is pretty good too.

Bad boys, bad boys… watcha gonna do?

5/5

I’ve seen this film a few times and it’s just brilliant. It keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout, and you’ve no idea what’s actually happening or what’s real until the very end.

It’s a perfect product of its time. Sure, it’s dated slightly, but it still holds up brilliantly in 2026.

5/5

I should have turned this off after 15 minutes. I knew I wasn’t enjoying it, but there was just enough mystery to keep me watching because I really wanted to know what was happening and, more importantly, why. 

So I carried on, eventually got my answers and now that I know what happened and why, 

I can confidently say… I really should have turned it off after 15 minutes. 

I got some closure. Unfortunately it wasn’t worth it 

1/5

I really enjoyed this.

You can feel the tension and awkwardness almost immediately.

You know the kind, the sort of dinner where you're sitting there thinking...

"Awkward... Please, someone change the subject."

The cast is brilliant and absolutely perfect for this type of film. And it's always a pleasure to see Penélope Cruz on my screen.

What starts as a slightly awkward dinner between two couples slowly turns into something much deeper and more personal.

Underneath all the uncomfortable conversations, it's really about two people who've lost that connection with each other and are trying to work out whether they can find it again.

Which is considerably deeper than I was expecting from what initially looked like four people having an uncomfortable evening.

It's funny at times, sad at others and surprisingly heartwarming.

There are moments where you want to laugh, moments where you feel genuinely sorry for them and moments where you just want to crawl under the dinner table until everyone stops talking.

I really enjoyed watching this.

4/5

This was interesting.

It's the type of film that I couldn't stop thinking about after it ended.

What if you could travel through the multiverse and kill the person who kidnapped and murdered your daughter?

Then do it again.

And again.

And again.

It's such a simple idea, but a really good one. There's something incredibly dark about having access to infinite versions of the person you hate most and being able to take revenge over and over again.

The film doesn't explain everything, though.

I wanted to know more about the machine, where it came from and how the whole thing actually works.

It gives you enough to understand what's happening, but leaves enough unanswered that you want to know more.

And I definitely want more.

When you've got an infinite multiverse, one film was never going to be enough.

4/5

Marvel Jesus is back...

And he's brought a friend.

This film is absolutely bonkers. The fight scenes are spectacular, the story is great and somehow they've managed to drag Deadpool into the MCU while bringing the X-Men universe along for the ride.

Speaking of the X-Men...

Right, SPOILER WARNING.

I'm going to talk about my favourite moment in the entire film, so if you haven't seen it, look away now.

Chris Evans is back!

FLAME BOY!

I genuinely loved this reveal. I've wanted to see Chris Evans back as Johnny Storm ever since the original, well... semi-original, Fantastic Four back in 2005.

Another film I absolutely love.

And then there's Hugh Jackman.

How many times has this man retired from playing Wolverine now?

Deadpool and Wolverine together just works.

If these two aren't back for Avengers: Doomsday, I'm going to protest outside Kevin Feige's house, holding a cardboard sign saying:

BRING BACK MARVEL JESUS.

I loved this film so much I actually bought the soundtrack on vinyl.

I'm also very glad I watched Loki before seeing this because knowing about the TVA definitely helps.

Perfect.

5/5

This is still crazy!

I love how meta it is. Deadpool continues to throw pop culture references at you, break the fourth wall and somehow manages to be fully aware that both Marvel and DC exist.

At this point, I'm not entirely sure Deadpool knows he's in a film.

The cast is great and I think the story is a lot better than the first one.

Josh Brolin is excellent as usual, and Julian Dennison is brilliant as Firefist. It also introduces us to Domino, who is probably one of my favourite additions to the film.

And, of course, it's always a pleasure seeing our resident taxi driver, Dopinder.

What a legend.

But those end credits...

That's the icing on the cake.

Without spoiling anything, they're probably some of my favourite end credits in any superhero film.

4/5

This is one messed-up film. 

The dude literally removes her restrictions and then expects her to behave like a normal, contributing member of society rather than an android psychopath. 

What did he think was going to happen?! 

It’s creepy, weird and deeply uncomfortable in places. 

And then there’s that scene. 

If you’ve seen the film, you know exactly which one I’m talking about. 

That was fucked up. 

I genuinely squirmed. 

Ooph.

It certainly takes the whole idea of finding your perfect partner to a slightly terrifying new level. 

Maybe some restrictions are there for a reason. 

2/5
