THE WEEKEND IS coming up, and that means new movies for you to see. But which is a must-watch, and are there any you should avoid?

We take a look.

Cinderella 

What we know

Kenneth Branagh-directed multi-coloured update on the classic fairytale story.

What the critics say

• “It’s a pity that a film that begins with such brio and originality ends on such a routine note.” – Independent
• “Branagh has delivered a construction project so solid, so naïve, and so rigorously stripped of irony that it borders on the heroic.” - New Yorker

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 7.2/10
• IMDB: 7.7/10

Get Hard

What we know

Will Ferrell plays a man jailed for insider trading, and Kevin Hart is the guy charged with helping him ‘get hard’ for the slammer.

What the critics say

• “Get Hard wants to be a brash, unapologetic look at race and class but only wrings a few laughs from those topics, mostly spending its time floundering around in a dumb plot with obvious characters.” – Deadspin
• “It’s an absolutely horrible, amateurishly assembled comedy that is more offensive than just about anything we’ve seen lately” - The Playlist

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 4.2/10
• IMDB: 6/10

The Seventh Son

What we know

Fantasy flick in which guy becomes a witch-hunter’s apprentice, then has to face the evil Mother Malkin.

What the critics say

• “Women are scary and Jeff Bridges is unintelligible in this dire medieval fantasy” – The Telegraph
• “The result is a fantastical world that often doesn’t make sense and has a rather peculiar social structure, among other things” - Screenrant 

What’s it rated?

• RottenTomatoes: 3.9/10
• IMDB: 5.6/10
