Filmrecensies van Alex Brannan

An entertaining and lively entry to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recensie

A woven artifice of suspense-devoid “twists” and “turns”... Recensie

The humor is humorous. The emotional moments pull at the heartstrings. Recensie

A light dramedy with a lot of weight behind its characters. Recensie

Attractive to look at, so much so that it becomes hard to see the film for its narrative. Recensie

You may laugh once or twice, but the film itself is doomed to a future of cable airplay and obscurity. Recensie

Each frame and sonic moment provides the viewer a new morsel from which entertainment can be gleaned. Recensie

Still indicative of Amirpour’s keen eye and unique form of genre hybridity but lacking the focus and power of her first work. Recensie

The comedy is crass and brash to no payoff, the characters fade in and out as necessary with little depth, and the story pushes on for 40 minutes too long... Recensie

The overall themes of the film do not play out as strongly as the isolated moments. Recensie

In spite of a great performance from Gurira the film is too messy from a narrative standpoint to truly encapsulate the essence of Tupac Shakur. Recensie

But the film takes its chances. When these chances work, they work. When they don’t, at least the screenwriters go all out. Recensie

Offends the intelligence of its viewers with blank characters and obvious scripting. Recensie

Occasional moments of situational humor work well, but these come off as exceptions more than anything else. Recensie

The major narrative throughline is a strong and heartfelt story. Unfortunately, it is brought down by the numerous things surrounding it. Recensie

Somewhat competent cinematically, incompetent narratively. Recensie

Leaves you both empty-handed and wanting more. Recensie

It’s no masterpiece, but its humor and competent narrative keep it from feeling like the haphazard messes that the two previous DC entries have been. Recensie

A furious implosion of the oppressed identity. Recensie

The narrative provides enough twists and turns to entertain a zombie enthusiast. Recensie

Has an ambitious narrative diversion from the normal marriage plots. But the execution of this narrative is sloppy at best. Recensie

As a straight drama about the plight of the soldier, it can only be seen in bright, effective glimpses. Recensie

The swashbuckling story remains a distinctly Pirates one, but it is over-loaded and heavy, dragging pacing down in the progress. Recensie

It just doesn’t hold water... Recensie
