In It’s Only a Movie, the incomparable Tag Kermode demonstrated us the weird world of a film critic’s life lived in widescreen. Now, in The Good, The Bad as well as the Multiplex, he will take us into the belly of the beast to request: ‘What’s incorrect with modern films?’

If blockbusters earn money no matter how bad they are, then why not make a good one to get a change? How can 3-D be the future of cinema if it is been giving audiences a headaches for over a hundred years? Why pay to watch movies in cinemas that don’t possess a projectionist but do have got a fast-food stand? And, in a global in which Sex and the City 2 was popular, what the hell are film critics for?

Outspoken, opinionated and hilariously funny, The Good, The Bad as well as the Multiplex is crucial for anyone that has ever sat in an undermanned, overpriced cinema and asked themselves: ‘How the hell did points get to be this horrible?’
