Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

Blue Monkey is too silly, unfocused, and poorly designed to have much of an impact. Recensie

Even in the final moments, when utter darkness seems inevitable, the film is smart enough to give viewers a glimmer of satisfaction; this is an absolutely staggering, breathtaking cinematic experience, even if it embraces high spirits over reality. Recensie

The humor and sarcasm tend to win out over the flimsy plot. Recensie

With all of its congruous themes and heart-stopping imagery, this is a tight, creative, sharply-paced, thoroughly entertaining chiller. Recensie

Although Washington remains utterly absorbing in every frame, it must be mentioned that Hawke does a fine job as well, exhibiting the opposite end of the spectrum. Recensie

Unfortunately, sensational imagery alone cannot salvage a dearth of originality and vision. Recensie

Whatever the ultimate purpose behind Galaxina, it’s so pitifully paced and uninterestingly scripted that it’s doomed to fail. Recensie

Crocodile is simply too uninspired and pitifully conceived to be redeemable... Recensie

There’s actually a lot at work underneath the main plot, considering that Mickey Rooney’s former horse trainer has a considerable history; a concern that taming a wild animal limits its freedoms weaves its way through the formulaic conditioning... Recensie

And though it’s ultimately a small, simple story, with its titular role remaining the most memorable component, MGM had quite the winner on its hands... Recensie

Unfortunately, the exceptionally brief attention paid to that concept makes it feel inconsequential; it’s intermittently easy to forget what the story is supposed to be about – and to care. Recensie

Fortunately, a few stunts are rather impressive while director George P. Cosmatos shoots many sequences like an updated, slicker Halloween thriller; the presentation of much of the violence is enough to border on horror. Recensie

It’s a strangely comforting sort of low-stakes actioner, in which none of the stars are really ever in serious trouble – and in which snappy remarks come to the rescue as much as fortuitous bullet trajectories. Recensie

At least the emotions are there, with slow-motion machismo, teary-eyed reunions, and roars of defiance during climactic confrontations, generating a comforting aura that fits well with Deadpool’s brand, even if this latest episode is both entertaining throughout and completely forgettable afterward. Recensie

The characters may be quirky and pleasant (salt-of-the-earth types), the photography vivid, the settings tranquil, the editing professional, and the graphics sharp, but it’s difficult to imagine that more than a handful of people will be entertained by this story... Recensie

As the tornado whisperer flirtatiously clashes with the tornado wrangler, the film tries way too hard to be exciting, resulting in exceptionally dull dialogue and interactions, which weirdly mirror the original Twister so closely that this essentially in-spirit-only sequel actually works pointedly as a remake. Recensie

In a largely unoriginal riches-to-rags premise, the ultra affluent man is about to learn a few lessons concerning extreme poverty and compassion. It may be a comedy, but the lead character fairly quickly finds himself subjected to utter disregard and even violence. Recensie

Despite the amusement of the vast collection of stars and the whirlwind of Western adventure, it will surely be the score that persists beyond the other individual elements of this grandiose endeavor. Recensie

Thankfully, the picture is short, and Kristel is memorable. Recensie

Not enough of the plot was designed well enough to stand out from the pack of other ’90s sci-fi flicks; creative complications are simply far too few. Recensie

The climax is absolutely breathtaking, lending concepts to a wealth of subsequent shockers, as well as boasting a number of striking surprises. Recensie

A chronicle of her life doesn’t ever really rise to the occasion of movie-worthy; her specific misfortune seems utterly negligible in the realm of theatrical adversities, while a love triangle isn’t original enough to augment the drama, as it’s swift and unconvincing. Recensie

In some moments, it resembles the slapstick of Woody Allen’s flicks, but with far less originality, or The Three Stooges, but coming across as mere aping as opposed to witty homage. Recensie

Cooper and Stanwyck are entirely watchable, even if the plot grows artistically flagrant and thematically hollow, culminating in a final media ruse that is thoroughly farfetched, and a finale featuring average Joes who are excessively, unrealistically perceptive. Recensie
