Everyone go ahead and breathe a huge sigh of relief, there’s actually some great movies being reviewed this week. Aside from the smaller release of A United Kingdom this week is nothing but sequels, with Fifty Shades Darker, John Wick: Chapter 2 and The Lego Batman Movie all collated together here. One of these films is currently my top film of the year, and I think it might take some amazing to beat it. Speaking of the top film of the year, with this week’s slate we now have over ten 2017 releases reviewed, so we can officially begin the Top 10 Lambscores of 2017 roster, find it in the sidebar!

If you want to get involved, here’s how LAMBScores work: Over in the LAMB Forums there’s a sub-board called LAMBScores. If you’ve written a review or recorded a podcast on a new release, find (or create) the thread there, and leave a link to your review, along with your site name and a score out of 5. Three weeks after the film has received a wide release the reviews will be collated and posted here, as long as there are at least five.
