This week's big cinema release...

KARATE KID: LEGENDS

Directed by: Joathan Entwhistle

Starring: Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, Ben Wang.

Two generations of Karate Kid come together in Jonathan Entwistle’s latest chop-socker, which straddles the Miyagi-verse and Cobra Kai lore, while uniting Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan on the same screen. The plot is still hush-hush, but the smart money says that Ben Wang will play the new lead character being taught to wax on/off.

UK TOP 10 BOX OFFICE: 27th May

1. LILO & STITCH

Directed by: Dean Fleischer-Camp

Starring: Chris Sanders, Billy Magnussen, Zach Galifianakis

This live-action retelling of the friendship between hula-loving Hawaiian girl Lilo – and the alien koala bear Stitch – has brought out the big guns, with everyone from The Hangover’s Zach Galifianakis to Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham signed up. Best of all, Lilo & Stitch creator Chris Sanders will once again play the monster. “The director said, ‘Would you be interested in reprising your role as the voice of Stitch?'” Sanders told MovieWeb. “So I immediately said, ‘Absolutely’. I still do all the recordings of him. I do them for parades, for toys, for ice shows, things like that. I would love to do it for the film.”

2. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - THE FINAL RECKONING

Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie

Starring: Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames.

Late-period M:I director Christopher McQuarrie keeps setting himself an impossibly high bar with each new instalment – but we just know he’ll top it again with The Final Reckoning. We can’t wait to see how Tom Cruise will risk mangling himself with his stuntman-free antics as Ethan Hunt this time around – while the star himself has reportedly even designed the limited-edition Final Reckoning popcorn bucket!

Ben (Age 6 ) and sister Freya: ★★★★★

"Ben and Freya thought the Minecraft Movie was really good. There were funny bits and lines where everyone in the cinema already knew what the characters were going to say and we all shouted it out together."

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON

Directed by: Dean DeBlois

Starring: Mason Thames, Gerard Butler, Nico Parker.

Not to be left in the dust by Disney, Dreamworks' inaugural live actioner will feel like riding a Night Fury into battle on our big screen. The Black Phone’s Mason Thames plays Hiccup, the reluctant viking pillager who forges a forbidden friendship with a fallen dragon, while the all-star cast includes Gerard Butler and Nick Frost. If this goes well, you can expect a live action Shrek, Puss In Boots and Madagascar coming down the pipe.
