Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

It’s really great, if harrowing, to watch this on the big screen again. Recensie

It is certainly a gruelling and at times upsetting watch. But as a true story of hope and faith over adversity it is an EXTRAORDINARY tale and a wonderfully well-made film. Recensie

It’s a Statham movie! You get what you expect! A lot of mindless violence with bad guys and sometimes whole FBI teams of good guys being beaten senseless by Statham using only his muscles. It’s absurd… but it’s quite fun at the same time. Recensie

It’s an astonishing film to look at. Recensie

Like I said, maybe I’m a bit biased but this one was gently delightful. Recensie

Although directed by Pierre Morel, the director of Taken, this is utter hokum. Find Romancing the Stone or Jewel of the Nile and watch them again instead. Recensie

I *think* lovers of rom-coms will largely go for this one and have fun. Recensie

I found it to be a solid and well-made biopic that I would definitely like to give a second watch. Recensie

A fun film that has been long in the gestation. Next Goal Wins is certainly worth catching on the big screen…. a fun trip for families with older kids looking for a New Year cinema visit. Recensie

It’s not bloody Shakespeare. But what it tries to do, it does perfectly well. An enjoyable romantic diversion of a film. Recensie

It’s a well-made film, with a stunning central performance by the 25-year-old Cailee Spaeny. But it’s hardly a film that fills you with festive cheer. Recensie

I know that many people view Chicken Run as a masterpiece and are loathe to watch this one for fear of dissapointment. But I don’t think they need avert their gaze. It’s obviously not as fresh as the original, and people will no doubt miss the original, and much-loved, original voiceover stars. But it’s a pretty decent family film. Recensie

It’s a very bog-standard action film, over-ruled by CGI effects, under-used star-power, weak character development and a convoluted plot. Recensie

I never thought that I would give 4*s to a Japanese-language Godzilla movie. But it really is impressively good stuff and eminently watchable. Recommended for a fun night out. Recensie

This is a terrific movie that will be of particular interest to the like-minded ‘silver-dollar’ community of older film-goers. ... Recensie

I really enjoyed the first film and enjoyed this one even more. A really great rollicking adventure yarn. Recommended. Recensie

It’s a fine and well made film. But not one that I found appealing or engaging. A bit of a disappointment to be honest. Recensie

I found this a flawed but ultimately interesting apocalyptic excursion that kept me entertained and intrigued throughout. Well acted and with interesting direction by Sam Esmail, it’s well worth checking out. Recensie

This is just SO much fun! From the brilliant opening song the film sucks you in with the same quirky brilliance that Paddington and Paddington 2... Recensie

Do yourself a favour and watch the original Freaky Friday again. Or even the Lindsay Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis remake. If you want to feel Christmassy, put some tinsel in your hair. Recensie

Utterly forgetable festive offering that is worth avoiding at all costs. Recensie

It’s weak Christmas fare compared to the classics of the genre. But compared to Best. Christmas. Ever! and EXmas it’s bloody Shakespeare. Recensie

If you go into it assuming it’s going to be a mild-comedy / horror-lite film, then you will have a good time. Its perfectly watchable. It just didn’t set my barn ablaze. Recensie

Was it the 100-year anniversary experience that Disney was angling for? Unfortunately no. But, as I am no-longer the target audience, I will point out that my granddaughter Eva is going to see it for the second time today. Recensie
