Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

Has a mostly serious tone, which doesn’t serve it well. In order to pull off this kind of schlocky, exploitive B-movie, a self-aware humor needed to be evident. Recensie

Assuredly a memorable endeavor. Recensie

In the hands of writer/director Akira Kurosawa, The Hidden Fortress is also quite the actioner, building exceptional excitement through anticipation. Recensie

In characters, plot, tone, and production design, Double Dragon is inconsistent and all over the place. For that, the constant levity certainly doesn’t help. Recensie

Alita: Battle Angel might be one of the most proficient adaptations in a long time, but its premise occasionally shows signs of its age. Recensie

The acting is unbelievably bad, which doesn’t matter much considering that the script is pure nonsense, full of double entendres and really, really bad one-liners. Recensie

Despite its obvious low-budget construction, Mandy is stylish and alarmingly original, while Cage doesn’t hold back the rage in his performance. Recensie

When the plenitude of characters isn’t muddying the thrills, a repetition takes over, duplicating the quirkiness of deaths. Recensie

Despite how strange and unusual Serenity becomes toward its conclusion, it’s not entirely original; other pictures have attempted comparable notions (though not with such wildly incongruous themes), finding far better results. Recensie

McAvoy’s acting is impressive, managing to uphold interest even though the range of his split personalities isn’t uncommonly drastic. Recensie

Here, there’s also a slowness, partly to build characters, but also to allow the extraordinary concepts to sink in... Recensie

The overarching themes of Shyamalan’s franchise sound somewhat unfilmable, yet his players tackle the subjects with enough sincerity that they work part of the time... Recensie

It’s odd to utilize Hart in a chiefly dramatic role, but he’s convincing in the part; Cranston is likewise suitable as a man with everything yet nothing... Recensie

At the same time, however, it undoubtedly generates fresh ideas, which will surely be conducive to subsequent sci-fi tales. Recensie

Problematically, some of the fables are better than others, which means that the weaker links drag down the impact of the more impressive chapters... Recensie

The technical merits of The Most Dangerous Game aren’t spectacular or precise, but the premise is the stuff of seminal adventure tales. Recensie

Even with the unnecessary exposition and backstories, The Last Man on Earth is routinely fascinating. Recensie

It again takes away from the mystery, which is entirely guessable, devolving into something more outrageous, perverse, and trivial than plausible or nerve-wracking. Recensie

With Noah’s unflappable calmness and worldliness clashing with Deborah’s fiery demeanor, the love story is also diverting. Recensie

Egregious amounts of violence crop up, but they’re mitigated by the constant silliness surrounding them. Recensie

Anything but a glamorous picture, yet it still possesses a cinematic grittiness and a satisfying resolution. Recensie

The humor isn’t always laugh-out-loud funny, as it’s occasionally based on crafting awkward moments designed to make viewers distressed, but Lemmon and Matthau have an undeniable chemistry that allows their highly contrasting personalities... Recensie

Slapstick, hysterics, and delirious repetition (as well as stuttering) arrive at every turn, augmenting a terribly serious plot, injecting laughs and levity amid heartbreak and tears. Recensie

The extremely exaggerated facial features of disproportionate denizens are once again a highlight; the character designs contain an abundance of humor, even when the personas themselves do as little as shuffle around a room. Recensie
