Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

It’s totally gripping. At times hysterically funny; at times shocking. A class struggle movie of a calibre that Ken Loach would never have imagined! Recensie

It had me gripped to see how things would turn out – like watching a slow-motion car crash! The journey was well-worth the ride: a real page-turner you might say. Recensie

This is still a really fine movie and will appeal to older folks who like a story rich with character acting and not heavy on the action or special effects. Recensie

Worthy, well-performed but I just didn’t find it gripping. Recensie

It’s tense, dramatic and has enough variety of people being shot in the head to make it ghoulishly watchable. Recensie

I’m not sure it’s the best film of the year but it’s still a well-made movie and a recommended watch. Recensie

This is a top-class piece of movie-making and deserves all its award success. Recensie

It’s a glorious movie, utterly absorbing with ravishing cinematography by Yorick Le Saux and a brilliant soundtrack by Alexandre Desplat. Recensie

There’s not much more to say on this. If you liked the original, you’ll enjoy this one too. Recensie

I personally think Abrams did a pretty decent job here of trying to please most of the people most of the time. Recensie

I enjoyed this movie, primarily in watching the master Hanks at work. The overall pacing for me though was somewhat off. But I can’t be overly critical of such a warm-hearted movie. Recensie

Rian Johnson here pulls off a neat trick with the script which is brilliantly twisty and turny and 100% entertaining. Recensie

There were a total of two laughs in the movie for me. Period. Recensie

It really is a tremendously fun movie, with some genuinely laugh-out-loud moments mixed in with edge-of-your-seat action and some heart-rending moments. Recensie

For me, personally, I am clearly still 17 on the inside! I loved it. Not only do I think it a good comedy. It is also a feel-good movie about best friends; a coming of age lesbian adventure; and a film that treats the multi-coloured spectrum of modern sexual variety as something entirely normal and to be celebrated. Recensie

It’s not bloody Shakespeare, but I found it – warts and all – an enjoyable night out at the movies. Recensie

What a shame. With a different script, and some good production values, this could have been a very different story. Recensie

Dark and brooding, with a slow-burn start, this is a proper drama that might make action superhero fans fidgety. Recensie

I liked this movie, but did I like it enough to rush and see it again? No, not really. Worth seeing though to appreciate the odds-on favourite (surely!) for the Best Actress Oscar of this year. Recensie

The cast is excellent and the episodes although inherently disjointed are good enough to sufficiently entertain throughout. It’s not a great horror film in my book – I actually enjoyed Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark far more – but worth a watch. Recensie

I think it’s worth seeing on the big screen just for its visual beauty and Pitt’s performance. And as a major block-buster sci-fi film I enjoyed it to a degree. But for me it had just so many irritations that it failed to live up to my high expectations. A great shame and a frustrating disappointment. Recensie

This is a feelgood film about a tough subject. The ending of the film pulls off the trick of being both devastating and uplifting at the same time. Recensie

Even if you have never seen an episode, it is easy to pick up and the quality of the production is so impressive I don’t think you will be disappointed. Recensie

It’s summer popcorn nonsense, but its well done popcorn nonsense. Probably not a film high on my list of films I want to see again, but as an entertainment vehicle it was not too shabby. Recensie
