Reviews editor here. Dunno how it works at other outlets (especially those chasing clicks) but at Empire we don't pressure critics for ratings and are very, very careful about five- and one-star reviews — they should feel rare and for special cases and reached only on team consensus.

Woah! An absolutely unreal decision! They don't know what they're missing. Your exclusives have always been the envy of industry. Excited to see what you do next. Best of luck Anthony, hope you're doing ok.

The animated fantasy epic Ne Zha 2, a Chinese box office behemoth based on mythological source material, arrives in UK cinemas this week.
