Filmrecensies van Bob Mann

I normally feel a bit let down by thrillers, but this one exceeded my expectations. A well-crafted twisty-turny script that always keeps you guessing. Recensie

Solid and predictable, this doesn’t break any new cinematic ground. As a park-your-brain horror thriller, it might appeal late on a Saturday night with a curry and a few beers. Recensie

But to me, overall this comes around a par with Fallout and so a tad below my personal favourite Rogue Nation. Recensie

The problem with Pixar is that I expect brilliance and perfection, and – personally speaking – this really didn’t hit that bar for me this time. Recensie

Its by no means a terrible film. But it’s another of those that I will struggle to remember in a few week’s time. Recensie

It’s a solid and well-filmed historical biopic, bringing to life the music of a forgotten black classical composer. Recensie

I really enjoy these ‘small’ and tight little thrillers, and I found this a good one. Recensie

Simply stunning. This is a must-see on the big screen, so if you haven’t yet, try to catch it fast before it slips through into the streaming universe. Recensie

No doubt about it, this is a solid action thriller. For me though, I slightly preferred the first film to this one. Recensie

Like this movie, it was gorgeous to look at. Indeed, it was brilliant in places. But overall a bit of a disjointed snore-fest. Asteroid City is thankfully a bit better than The French Dispatch but only marginally so. Recensie

It is a worthy summer blockbuster... Recensie

It’s light and fluffy and its not going to win any Oscars. But as a raunchy summer comedy film, of the likes of Booksmart or Sex Tape, matched with a deeper and thought-provoking story, it fitted the bill well for me. Recensie

I wanted to love this, I really did, and there can be no doubting the enthusiasm with which the cast (and indeed – in the finale – the whole population of Clitheroe!) throw themselves into the production. While it did occasionally entertain, the arc of the story made me feel distinctly “meh”. Recensie

If you can put Ezra Miller’s dodgy home-life aside, you – like me – may find this a well-made and entertaining superhero ride. It has its tongue firmly in its cheek at times but it is all the better for that. I was well-entertained. Recensie

As action movies go, this is a good one. Tense and exciting with some truly remarkable cinematography, editing and stuntwork. Recensie

It’s far from being a complete bust, and as a retread on some classic movies it makes for entertaining enough viewing. But it fails to find a beat of its own and as a result is constantly in the shadow of similar but much better movies. Recensie

As a film for adults, it remains watchable. Recensie

Did I enjoy this one? As a traditional cop murder/mystery thriller, honestly not so much. But as a character study into the complex individual that is Mike Hoolihan, I liked it very much indeed. Recensie

A very dark film indeed, but also a very well-directed film. Sometimes the horrors of life lie in the smallest of details. This is perhaps NOT a film that anyone with kids in any form of child-care should watch. Recensie

This was an entertaining watch, held together by great performances from Shailene Woodley and Ben Mendelsohn. Although the film never quite reaches the promise of those opening 15 minutes, it’s still a worthwhile watch and better than a lot of recent Sky Original Movies for sure. Recensie

I thought it was OK, and it had its moments. But overall not one I will hold in my memory for long. Recensie

I know I’ve listed four positive bullets here and only two negative ones. But a comedy film really lives or dies on whether it makes you laugh or not, and this one just didn’t meet the 6-laughs test. It’s just about watchable and passes the time. Recensie

It’s a wonderful (and for once, not disappointing) trip down Nostalgia Avenue for all older folks who fell in love with the original animation 34 (no, stop, really??) years ago. Recensie

Maybe I just wasn’t in the mood. Maybe I didn’t have my romantic comedy glasses on. But maybe this is just not a great film. Recensie
