Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

It’s a movie that has its moments, but I would personally wait for a (VERY) rainy afternoon and catch it on streaming. Recensie

It’s a big, brash, loud CGI-stuffed adventure, but well done and visually appealing. Recensie

The reason to see this film is the tremendous double-act between McCarthy and Grant which is just magic. Both have been lauded with nominations during awards season, and both are richly deserved. Recensie

There are the makings of a good film in here, and the blending of the three characters into a narrative is a cute idea. But it’s a film that left me feeling generally unsatisfied with its story arc... Recensie

If you can park your moral compass for a few hours then its an enjoyable film of drug-running and redemption. Recensie

The film is well-made and the cast is very engaging. It also has a love story at its heart that is moody but well-done. Overall though the movie felt over-engineered and a little pretentious, and that knocked it down a few pegs for me. Recensie

I found it a non-standard journey requiring a level of intelligence to appreciate the nuances of the script. Recensie

My view would be that it’s worth seeing for its epic spectacle, but it’s not a film I will be rushing to see again. Recensie

The film is amusing and harmless without taxing many brain cells. Most notably unlike many so-called American ‘comedies’ it did actually make me laugh at multiple points. Recensie

As a standalone film it has some laugh-out-loud moments, some feelgood highs and some moments of real pathos. Recensie

One of the most thought-provoking films that I am likely to see this year, and I was fascinated from beginning to (final) end. Recensie

The film’s perfectly watchable, has great acting, but is a little bit of a non-event. Recensie

I don’t bandy the word “masterpiece” around often, but in this case I think it’s justified. Recensie

Aside from Knightley, the other star turn in the film comes from cinematographer Giles Nuttgens. Recensie

I’ve praised the screenplay for its reserve and intelligence, but on the flip-side there are a number of elements that don’t sit well... Recensie

Frank Marshall directs, and with a pretty impossible task he delivers an end-product that, while it didn’t completely thrill me, did well not to trash my delicate hopes and dreams either. Recensie

It’s a long way from being the worse film I’ve seen this year by a long stroke – it kept me interested and amused in equal measure for the running time. Recensie

It’s one of those pleasant and untaxing cinema experiences that older audiences in particular will really enjoy. However, the film’s far from perfect in my view... Recensie

Above all, it is the acting performances that make this film, and the four key cast members all turn in memorable turns. Recensie

Special effects alone do not a great film make. If you analyse the film overall, virtually NOTHING of importance actually happens... Recensie

Above all, it’s a film with genuine heart. A story that lifts the spirit and paints onto the screen in technicolour glory the struggle (albeit you feel a rather sanitised one) that lifted America out of the dark ages in terms of equality. Recensie

So, the movie has its moments and is great to look at. But the film ends up a sandwich or two short of a smorgasbord, thanks largely to some totally bonkers plot points and more than a few ridiculous coincidences. Recensie

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this one much, but I did. Prinicipally because it is such a visual feast and worth going to see just for that alone. Recensie

The results are outstanding. Recensie
