Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

It’s equal parts charming and hilarious, boasting several spectacularly moving moments. Recensie

Psychological shocks and an unreliable narrator keep things engaging, even with brief lulls and a purposely frustrating timeline, presenting continual unease and uncertainty. Recensie

Though it’s terribly flimsy and not the least bit reformative, at least the parting scene is quite the punchline. Recensie

Ultimately, however, The Truman Show would have worked better as a straightforward sci-fi drama. Recensie

Sergeant York is one of the phoniest of all war pictures, exhibiting limited entertainment value, blandly stereotypical personas, a routine construction, and minimal genuineness. Recensie

The fight sequences are nicely orchestrated and mirthful, but too much time is spent attempting to flesh out all the interweaving character groups, causing tedious lags. Recensie

The bulk of this sequel is so shoddily made, ridiculously scripted, and poorly acted that it can barely be considered entertainment. Recensie

The pared-down nature of the plot means that, despite some decent shots and convincing acting, the originality is comparably negligible; it may be sweet and to-the-point, but its effectiveness is minimal, thanks to a lack of deviations from an overly familiar formula. Recensie

Even the ambiguity, purposeful or not, lacks engagement, resulting in a seemingly pointless yet thankfully ephemeral examination of a topic so narrow and imprecise and undramatic that it may never find an audience. Recensie

The dialogue is atrocious and phony, which lends to pitiful comic relief and flimsy conversations to explain motives and intentions. Recensie

Yet the climax is terribly entertaining... Recensie

Though this sequel is ultimately not necessary, especially when the story is crafted around repeated mistakes and a seemingly greater number of villains than protagonists, the various expansions on the main concept are moderately amusing – and the finale is curiously hopeful and firmly resolute. Recensie

Enduringly striking as well is the appearance of Schreck, whose towering, spindly frame, paired with dark eyes, a prodigious nose, pointy ears, bushy eyebrows, spidery fingers, and acicular teeth are almost comical in their exaggerations. Recensie

Unfortunately, the scripting is generic, leaving Langley with a limited ability to appear sincere. And his nemesis, the outlaw Devlin, similarly fails to inspire dread – largely thanks to trite dialogue and a bland backstory. Recensie

This series didn’t need a “final” episode, but it’s nevertheless entertaining for what it is – and what it sets out to be. Recensie

At least viewers are given what they want, with the film culminating in the kind of bloody, extravagant chaos witnessed in the Piranha pictures of the 2010s, transforming into a full-on disaster movie of sorts. Recensie

Blue Monkey is too silly, unfocused, and poorly designed to have much of an impact. Recensie

Even in the final moments, when utter darkness seems inevitable, the film is smart enough to give viewers a glimmer of satisfaction; this is an absolutely staggering, breathtaking cinematic experience, even if it embraces high spirits over reality. Recensie

The humor and sarcasm tend to win out over the flimsy plot. Recensie

With all of its congruous themes and heart-stopping imagery, this is a tight, creative, sharply-paced, thoroughly entertaining chiller. Recensie

Although Washington remains utterly absorbing in every frame, it must be mentioned that Hawke does a fine job as well, exhibiting the opposite end of the spectrum. Recensie

Unfortunately, sensational imagery alone cannot salvage a dearth of originality and vision. Recensie

Whatever the ultimate purpose behind Galaxina, it’s so pitifully paced and uninterestingly scripted that it’s doomed to fail. Recensie

Crocodile is simply too uninspired and pitifully conceived to be redeemable... Recensie
