Filmrecensies van Jacob Richardson

Suffering from many of the struggles sequels typically do, and certainly affected by following one of the best boxing films of all time, Creed II is still a fist-pumping good time in the ring. Recensie

A breath of fresh air, Steve McQueen’s Widows is a must-see. Recensie

Visually sumptuous and costumed out the wazoo, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms shoves a slim story in a shiny new package. Recensie

An unnecessary remake of the beloved film, it’s not clear if this movie is absolutely detestable because of its pointlessness, or because it never really engages with the audience on an emotional level. Recensie

An engrossing moral dilemma and a stand out performance from Emma Thompson lift what could have been a staid British drama to new lofty heights. Recensie

Meandering, and never really fulfilling, An Interview With God does little with its intriguing premise. Recensie

An electrifying, constantly surprising and shockingly bloody tale anchored in solid performances from some incredible actors. Recensie

Powerful, dramatic and endlessly catchy, A Star Is Born will have you singing all the way home. Recensie

A decidedly average, standard Kevin Hart comedy that never truly fulfils the potential of it’s much hyped Hart-Haddish team up. Recensie

Damien Chazelle delivers a thought-provoking, respectful and inspiring take on man’s greatest achievement. This is much watch filmmaking. Recensie

Funny, thrilling and bonkers in just the right amounts, A Simple Favour hits all the right buttons. Recensie

Funnier than it had any right to be, and at times a really smart send-up of the film noir genre. screen-shot-2018-05-18-at-10-00-31-am.pn... Recensie

A wasted premise, saved only intermittently by Statham, who has to carry a lacklustre cast on his back as well as the 75-foot shark. Recensie

Breaks the mould and delivers a metric tonne of incredible action in a story with real heart. Recensie

Not perfect, but undoubtedly funny and surprisingly action-filled. Recensie

Incredibly powerful, raucously funny, tremendously poignant and timely, and draped in a layer of undeniable cool. Recensie

Isn’t going to win any awards for the quality of its filmmaking. But it is undeniably joyous and absolutely fun, and will have you singing all the way home. Recensie

Absolutely insane, but endlessly loveable, Skyscraper is as wholly unbelievable as it’s gigantic centrepiece tower. Recensie

An abomination of a film. Recensie

It might not be as good as Sicario, but it’s still a tense, adult drama that we want to see more of on screen. Recensie

14 years on, and just as raucously funny and effortlessly entertaining. Recensie

Consistently funny and ridiculous, if borderline stereotypical, Ideal Home is an entertaining watch. Recensie

The film strikes a perfect balance, drawing on all the aspects we’ve come to know of Han Solo, and answering some niggling questions without shoving it down the throat of its audience. Recensie

Raucous, irreverent, bloody and undeniably joyful in it’s contrarian nature, Deadpool 2 delights in tearing down the genre norms and is all the better for it. Recensie
