Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

This newest episode is enjoyable in its family-friendly sense of cops and robbers and goofy misadventures, employing whimsical dialogue, creative machines, hysterical physical comedy, and a touching moment or two of friendship as it cements the good-natured notion that inventions aren’t inherently wicked... Recensie

It may utilize a few stalling tactics to stretch out an already quick runtime, but the procession of events is still largely engaging. Recensie

It’s a visual treat, but the storytelling could have benefitted tremendously from some tightening-up. Recensie

This picture’s entertainment value will depend largely on the audience’s knowledge of the source material – receiving such a comically morbid spoofing – even if modest amusement can be easily obtained from the performances. Recensie

It’s never quite as silly as Hocus Pocus, but its entertainment value, despite targeting a marginally different audience, is just as limited. Recensie

Not everyone behaves as if they’re acting in the same movie, at times transforming this absurd episode into a comedy. Recensie

This type of dark melodrama is most memorable for a handful of indelible, histrionic scenes, rather than as a whole. Recensie

The pacing is every so slightly off, despite the incredibly rich, engaging things unfolding; Fonda and Sutherland are a constant delight, even in extraneous minutes. Recensie

With Sam Peckinpah at the helm, the anticipated violence is excessively brutal, with blood exploding and splattering from wounds to an exaggerated degree. But by the end, it’s all entirely too uneventful. Recensie

T’s arguably a great set, but it’s not enough to make this feature-length production worthwhile. Recensie

At its best, it’s cagily circuitous; but at its worst, it’s downright laughable. Recensie

The music is superb, steadily escalating to more and more enthusiastic, thunderous performances until the booming finale, concluding at a decent stopping point, even if it’s a transparent cash-grab to split this production into two parts. Recensie

It goes on for too long, unable to keep up the momentum of its unexpected uniqueness, even with the complications of a hysterical trial and the epic, brutal, bloodthirsty final face-off with hundreds of vengeful beavers. Recensie

For such a generic mix of other filmic properties, there’s a curious authenticity to his predictable realization that distancing himself from his son isn’t necessarily what’s best for the boy. Recensie

It’s as adventurous and stimulating in specific moments as it is frivolous and redundant in others. Recensie

It’s still entertaining to see how he satirizes the classic tale, but the last act fails to present enough laugh-out-loud funny moments to make this one of the more stand-out entries in his collection of comedies. Recensie

With weak special effects, a pitiful score, a hopelessly contrived story, mediocre acting, poor pacing, improper casting for characters that never seem to fit in this premise, a laughable end-credit song, and essentially no unique concepts, The Time Guardian is a total Z-grade production... Recensie

Though the proceedings don’t always move with the preciseness expected from Disney’s best works, the humor arrives with consistency, and the action is more significant than in comparable pictures, thanks to the basis on heroic feats. Recensie

Despite his unending oddness, the character is amusing; he’s an unorthodox protagonist, but a fitting one for this comical, fantasy premise. Recensie

It may be an important film (it’s certainly noteworthy based on its minority-led cast), but its ordinariness and slow pacing contribute to few outstanding, memorable sequences – or an unforgettable whole. Recensie

For a movie that could have been both dramatic and chilling, it’s instead strangely unaffecting. Genuinely emotional shots are fleeting, even when stark injustice and violence enter the frame... Recensie

This is an aggravatingly lusterless, entertain-less finisher for a gruelingly uncreative trilogy (with what has got to be one of the most uninspired of all movie titles). Recensie

It remains an amusing yet empty sort of project, alluring as it transpires but evanescent once it ends. Recensie

Like other anthologies, the work as a whole is often dragged down by its weakest constituents (of which this has many, since most of the tales are overly familiar and unexceptional), which is exactly what causes this particular endeavor to suffer. Recensie
