Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

Cape Fear is a masterpiece of protracted tension and ceaseless aggravation, culminating at the aptly titled and electrifyingly atmospheric Cape Fear River... Recensie

Still, by the conclusion, the combination of down-to-earth lovers, foolish ones, embarrassing ones, disheartening ones, and triumphant ones (and ones that could only exist in a movie) creates an endearing collection of touching sketches that are frequently sentimental yet thoroughly grand. Recensie

The pacing is brisk and a number of scenes of spectacular horror help to offset the problems. Recensie

Yet once again, regardless of the importance of the picture, the execution prevents it from being a project that will reach an appropriately wide audience. Recensie

There’s nothing even remotely pleasant or absorbing about this tumultuous yarn, and certainly nothing that Sandler’s uncommon persona can save; it’s an overlong, uninteresting, badly arranged, extremely disagreeable downfall that only gets worse as it goes along. Recensie

A nearly three-hour wait for a single moment of fantastic frenzy amounts to minimal entertainment. Recensie

For the most part, a gentle sweetness permeates the film, but it’s also such an average, uneventful, small, intimately-designed, down-to-earth, slice-of-life drama that very little of it is memorable. And the parting shots are a dreadful misstep. Recensie

It’s playful, lighthearted, and humorous, though it’s also peppered with heavier life lessons about generosity and tolerance and friendship. Recensie

Their commitment to austere sincerity is unquestionably commendable, even if the eye-opening realism doesn’t produce consistent entertainment value. Recensie

Despite the questionable structuring of Waves, the scenes of raw emotion are thoroughly moving; they’re so unforgettable that they tend to override earlier flaws. Recensie

Despite the continual laughs, there’s still a nagging sense of something going terribly wrong all of a sudden – and, indeed, not everything goes according to plan. Recensie

Peeking through the disturbing imagery, morbid hallucinations, and crumbling identities is an engaging character study and a fiendish mix of drama and psychological horror. Recensie

The conclusion is rife with jaw-dropping sets, lightsaber duels, emotional confrontations, and sentimental throwbacks to recognizable elements not only from the original trilogy but also from The Force Awakens, bringing to an end a remarkably vast collection of cinematic legends and lore, and an acclaimed legacy of sci-fi fantasy prominence. Recensie

By the end, as the revelations grow more pessimistic and maddening, culminating in the possible publication or quashing of the titular 7,000-page report (along with countless political implications), the movie does transition into something a little more exciting. Recensie

Lloyd’s story is too plain and unaffecting to measure up to what could have been an insightful, emotional journey chronicling one of television’s most revered and respected legends. Recensie

Although there are fabricated additives to tie the story together, the subject matter is effectively infuriating. And despite a few pacing issues, the steady build to a welcome conclusion is handled nicely – along the lines of many invented political thrillers. Recensie

The movie is overlong, even if the scenes with the relevant characters – and the final revelations, with stirring speeches – are riveting. Recensie

And though the repetitive gags that remind viewers of some of the best bits from the 2017 precursor are still amusing, by the time they’re repeated in a third film (which seems inevitable), they’ll be unbearably stale. Recensie

By the end of it all, however, the film’s attention to details (resulting in a slow feel), the uncommon blend of comedy and crime, and its influential qualities (toward similar misadventures throughout the decade and beyond, not only for thrills but also for anti-establishment sentiments of the era) tend to outplay the actual entertainment value. Recensie

The drama is absorbing, if a bit distracting (crossing back and forth between genres), though contrived twists keep the titular characters continually in dire straits. Recensie

It’s actually rather awe-inspiring that this classic Universal monster would become so influential, considering the underdeveloped structuring, moments of ineffective suspense, and a general deficiency in filmic polish. Recensie

The mostly ineffective interludes of comic relief feel misplaced, especially since they’re rarely funny (oftentimes slipping into the realm of disgusting) and they stretch out the expectedly brief running time, which is itself predominantly just a series of excuses to show obscured, softcore sex and nudity. Recensie

The special effects are extraordinary, along with the topsy-turvy sets, augmenting a nerve-wracking plot of distressing exploration, frazzled nerves, unending surprises, and creeping death. Recensie

It’s certainly one of the most complex, action-packed, and memorable of all the ’60s war epics. Recensie
