Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

The atmosphere is nicely designed, the cinematography is appropriately unnerving, and the actors take their roles seriously. Regrettably, the movie goes to laughable lengths to cast suspicions on every one of the primary cast members, so as to keep the audience guessing. Recensie

Godzilla: King of the Monsters is an epitomic example of bombastic spectacle unable to overtake terrible storytelling. Recensie

The central friendship is fantastic, made ever more poignant, different, and convincing by the stellar performances of Feldstein and Dever. Recensie

Watching this live-action iteration isn’t better than revisiting the Ron Clement and John Musker masterpiece. Recensie

A distinct wryness does permeate the dialogue, but it’s not enough to sway the film away from its lack of fresh content, its ham-handed approach to both comedy and horror, and its unimaginable dullness. Recensie

Some CG is noticeable, but the stunts are consistently phenomenal, which is occasionally enough to distract from the silliness of the Continental and its exhaustive rules for murderers. Recensie

It’s as if this is just the first chapter in a morality tale that desperately needs to vindicate its heroes. Recensie

Pokemon fans will be delighted at the visual interpretations of a beloved franchise, but the pervasive mildness of it all makes for an easily forgettable production. Recensie

The premise is flimsy, serving primarily as a setup for tanned beauties to bare some flesh. Recensie

Long Shot ends up a crowd-pleaser, with cute, funny, relevant humor and romance (amidst the crassness) – and even a hint of genuine emotion. Recensie

Exposed flesh is the main star, but H.O.T.S. is inundated with such poorly developed characters that none of them retain memorable names or distinguishable characteristics. Recensie

Ultimately, the laughs are more prevalent than the chills, but a few death scenes are quite appealing in their ambition and design. Recensie

It may be only half a movie (with the length of two, at least), which makes judging the project’s storytelling prowess, character development, and narrative structuring largely preposterous (could anyone recommend the film to someone who hasn’t seen any of the ones before it?), but the sheer scope, logistics, and ambitions pursued – and realized – are difficult to dismiss. It’s ludicrously grandiose... Recensie

But for all the faults of editing and storytelling, Cookson gives a striking performance, crafting a believably conflicted, plied woman, full of fervor and conviction, and one who fascinatingly grasps the drawbacks – and the potential usefulness – of being invisible in a man’s world. Recensie

Fortunately, when the romantic comedy elements come across as trite or unconvincing, the attention to slapstick and creative skirmishes with imaginative props brings the picture back to its senses. Recensie

The characters are so uninspiring and unsympathetic that their failures and triumphs are just as worthless as the appalling storytelling decisions and the pitiful editing. Recensie

Eventually, the story goes off the rails. Recensie

A quiet, realistic, touching film, Good Will Hunting boasts a superbly written script, which is alternately insightful, romantic, funny, and heartbreaking. Recensie

Even supporting comic regulars Eugene Pallette and Alan Mowbray can’t save Topper from its pitifully lethargic construction. Recensie

In its efforts to be unpredictable, the film instead becomes unbelievable. Recensie

It’s nevertheless a fascinating examination of a horrendous crime, merging a police procedural with startling insights into the originations and circumstances of murder. Recensie

Fortunately, practical effects contribute to plenty of stunning visuals, including mutilated corpses and appalling crones. But for every amusing grotesquerie, a computer animated sequence threatens to destroy the momentum... Recensie

In the end, despite the unintentional humor of gene-spliced, ultimate-organism-breeding biochemistry for classified military programs leading to a frenzied, beachside bloodbath, the shoddy construction of the film is unforgivable. Recensie

To its credit, Stockholm is one of those films that is absorbing enough to push viewers to read up on the source material – a larger-than-life ordeal as fascinating as it is outlandish. Recensie
