Filmrecensies van Sandy Schaefer

A solid movie, but only partly succeeds at blending Todd Phillips’ brand of bro-comedy with social/political commentary. Recensie

Makes for a contemplative dramatic thriller that is fueled by great performances and strong direction. Recensie

Offers solid genre film entertainment, but works better as a character piece than as a pulpy thrill ride. Recensie

Succeeds as a dramatic reimagining of its predecessor – giving rise to a soulful modern fairy tale in the process. Recensie

A serviceable Bourne franchise installment, but an uninventive and unnecessary epilogue to the original Bourne movie trilogy. Recensie

Makes for a lean and mean scare-delivering machine, but is less effective as a supernatural horror parable. Recensie

A stylishly crafted and well-acted dramatic thriller, but breaks little new ground despite fascinating subject matter. Recensie

Isn’t a mold-breaker for animated movies, but it’s a consistently funny and inspired madcap romp nonetheless. Recensie

Too overstuffed and rough around the edges to fly high. Recensie

A technically impressive adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel – one with whimsy and heart to spare. Recensie

Well-crafted and tells a worthwhile story, but makes for a better history lesson than moviegoing experience. Recensie

A stylishly surreal, but hollow, horror/thriller – and another Nicolas Winding Refn film bound to divide audiences. Recensie

Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson’s comedic chemistry save it from being a passable, yet forgettable, mainstream action/comedy. Recensie

While it isn’t as innovative a horror film throwback as its predecessor, it’s an excellent ghost story in its own right. Recensie

Essentially a solid Lonely Island sketch over-stretched to fill a feature-length running time. Recensie

More of a shiny, yet hollow, Disney product than meaningful continuation of Alice’s story. Recensie

An entertainingly breezy buddy-detective romp that steadfast Shane Black fans ought to get additional mileage from. Recensie

A well-directed and well-acted dramatic thriller weighed down by heavy-handed social commentary and implausible plot beats. Recensie

A great superhero blockbuster that lays the groundwork for even bigger and better things to come in Phase 3 of the MCU. Recensie

May be a glorified feature-length Key and Peele skit, but it’s also an entertaining and thematically-layered action/comedy parody. Recensie

A half-baked action/thriller that fails to properly explore its sci-fi premise. Recensie

Only partly successful at using the first person POV format to create a unique cinematic experience. Recensie

A solid mainstream comedy elevated by its star. Recensie

Has enough of its predecessor’s charm and sincerity to earn a passing grade. Recensie
