  1. 1Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 6.6/10 on IMDbReleased 15 May 2002Anakin and Padmé have to carry a tragedy, yet their courtship gives them surprisingly little ordinary pleasure in each other's company. The formal dialogue makes flirtation sound like declarations prepared in advance. An unhealthy attachment can be dramatically convincing; here I struggle with the…0
  2. 2Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017) 6.4/10 on IMDbReleased 19 Jul 2017Valerian keeps pressing his romantic case while Laureline has to keep the mission and often him on track. Their colourful universe offers more surprising encounters than their banter does. The performers have flashes of comic timing, but the writing asks persistent pursuit to do the work of showing…0
  3. 3Spectre (2015)Spectre (2015) 6.8/10 on IMDbReleased 26 Oct 2015Bond and Madeleine move through danger with the poise of people who know the genre, but the film soon asks their connection to justify a major change in his life. Léa Seydoux gives Madeleine a guarded interior; the shared scenes leave me less convinced that Bond has discovered it. The objection is…0
  4. 4Jurassic World (2015)Jurassic World (2015) 6.9/10 on IMDbReleased 6 Jun 2015Owen and Claire begin with competing approaches to the park, an opposition that could reveal something about both of them. Instead, bickering and rescue keep taking the place of mutual curiosity. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard have the energy for a lively double act; I want more evidence that…0
  5. 5Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) 7.3/10 on IMDbReleased 22 Apr 2015Natasha's ability to calm Bruce creates an intimate image before the romance has much room to develop. Their conversation at the farmhouse supplies vulnerability, but the crowded ensemble then has to hurry onward. Scarlett Johansson and Mark Ruffalo find tenderness in the pauses; the relationship…0
  6. 6Passengers (2016)Passengers (2016) 7.0/10 on IMDbReleased 21 Dec 2016Jim's deception removes Aurora's freedom before their apparent meet-cute can begin. That violation is meant to disturb us; the harder sell is the film's later movement towards romantic reassurance. The stars make the early companionship appealing, which sharpens my objection to how a shared…0
  7. 7The Tourist (2010)The Tourist (2010) 6.0/10 on IMDbReleased 8 Dec 2010Elise's control and Frank's uncertainty should create a teasing imbalance, with every invitation suggesting another motive. Angelina Jolie sustains the enigmatic glamour; Johnny Depp's hesitant responses rarely turn that into a compelling exchange. Even allowing for the plot's games with identity,…0
  8. 8The Mountain Between Us (2017)The Mountain Between Us (2017) 6.4/10 on IMDbReleased 5 Oct 2017Ben and Alex become credible partners in survival because they must solve immediate problems together. The romance asks that emergency intimacy to extend further than the character writing persuades me it can. Idris Elba and Kate Winslet are attentive actors, and the contrast is revealing: shared…0
  9. 9The Mummy (2017)The Mummy (2017) 5.4/10 on IMDbReleased 6 Jun 2017Nick and Jenny have a past encounter and plenty of danger, but their supposed connection keeps being crowded out by the film's competing obligations. Tom Cruise supplies urgency and Annabelle Wallis has the task of making Jenny's expertise audible amid it. The rescues suggest attachment; the…0
  10. 10Snow White (2025)Snow White (2025) 2.2/10 on IMDbReleased 19 Mar 2025Jonathan's bandit swagger gives Snow White somebody to challenge, and the new songs give the pairing a polished romantic surface. Rachel Zegler's conviction does much of the emotional lifting. I find the shared purpose more persuasive than the courtship: the film knows what her leadership should…0
