Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

The music is superb, steadily escalating to more and more enthusiastic, thunderous performances until the booming finale, concluding at a decent stopping point, even if it’s a transparent cash-grab to split this production into two parts. Recensie

It goes on for too long, unable to keep up the momentum of its unexpected uniqueness, even with the complications of a hysterical trial and the epic, brutal, bloodthirsty final face-off with hundreds of vengeful beavers. Recensie

For such a generic mix of other filmic properties, there’s a curious authenticity to his predictable realization that distancing himself from his son isn’t necessarily what’s best for the boy. Recensie

It’s as adventurous and stimulating in specific moments as it is frivolous and redundant in others. Recensie

It’s still entertaining to see how he satirizes the classic tale, but the last act fails to present enough laugh-out-loud funny moments to make this one of the more stand-out entries in his collection of comedies. Recensie

With weak special effects, a pitiful score, a hopelessly contrived story, mediocre acting, poor pacing, improper casting for characters that never seem to fit in this premise, a laughable end-credit song, and essentially no unique concepts, The Time Guardian is a total Z-grade production... Recensie

Though the proceedings don’t always move with the preciseness expected from Disney’s best works, the humor arrives with consistency, and the action is more significant than in comparable pictures, thanks to the basis on heroic feats. Recensie

Despite his unending oddness, the character is amusing; he’s an unorthodox protagonist, but a fitting one for this comical, fantasy premise. Recensie

It may be an important film (it’s certainly noteworthy based on its minority-led cast), but its ordinariness and slow pacing contribute to few outstanding, memorable sequences – or an unforgettable whole. Recensie

For a movie that could have been both dramatic and chilling, it’s instead strangely unaffecting. Genuinely emotional shots are fleeting, even when stark injustice and violence enter the frame... Recensie

This is an aggravatingly lusterless, entertain-less finisher for a gruelingly uncreative trilogy (with what has got to be one of the most uninspired of all movie titles). Recensie

It remains an amusing yet empty sort of project, alluring as it transpires but evanescent once it ends. Recensie

Like other anthologies, the work as a whole is often dragged down by its weakest constituents (of which this has many, since most of the tales are overly familiar and unexceptional), which is exactly what causes this particular endeavor to suffer. Recensie

The concept of an independent, unbiased newspaper is laughable even in this era, just as the bulk of the story plays out in a generic, predictable manner, with a climax that is about as implausible and idealistic as they come. Recensie

It’s a serviceable, obscure little production, capturing the feel of countless other supernatural horror pictures from the ’80s, with a decent quality and a couple of striking sequences. Recensie

It’s all meant to be an exercise in a Sherlock Holmes failure of sorts, but when it’s not presented purely as comedy, it becomes a rather unamusing way to watch the iconic shamus work. Recensie

Thanks to top-rate acting and a genuine feel for down-to-earth scripting, it’s never difficult to believe in her authenticity. Recensie

Unfortunately, even with a few decent laughs and unforgettable antagonists, the end result isn’t spectacular; it’s a unique sci-fi genre blend, recalling productions from a bygone era of schlockier monster movies, but it’s only moderately entertaining. Recensie

A few jump scares do crop up, while several scenes are dragged out as the camera follows players moving throughout poorly-lit rooms, suggesting that something shocking might happen at any moment. But very little does. Recensie

Volume 2 just can’t live up to the pacing and intensity – the rollercoaster ride – of its predecessor, feeling like a duller, inferior half, even if it presents an uncommonly suitable conclusion. Recensie

It ends as vaguely as it begins, yet with a distinct sense of satisfaction and unexplainable resoluteness, as if something profound has unfolded amid the odd plainness of it all. Recensie

Saturn 3 is the type of production that had immense potential, but just couldn’t figure out a way to make something from its curiously adequate resources. Recensie

With equal portions of humor and heart, this inventive, touching, poetic fairy tale is highly memorable, even if it borrows routinely from prior properties, gothically twisting them into Burton’s signature vision. Recensie

Wilder’s sense of comic timing merged with lighthearted romance is pure entertainment – and quite the accomplishment as only his second directorial effort. Recensie
