Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

Far less amusing are the incredibly cheap costumes, the tragically unconvincing fight choreography and editing, the appalling acting, the pitiful special effects, and the cheap plastic props. Recensie

The story still works, with the bigger revelations and solutions packing a punch – especially with the ordinariness of the personas and their plight – though it’s a shame that it’s not original. Recensie

At least the acting is adequate, propelling the film just slightly above the likes of its embarrassingly low-budget brethren... Recensie

It’s as if multiple films are intermittently forced together without adequate time for sensible fluidity. Recensie

There’s action, suspense, death, destruction, globe-hopping, wig-donning, unlimited funds, and brief dashes of humor. Recensie

A mystery also unravels during the gangland scuffles, providing comedy and violence and suspense; yet it’s so overwrought that it practically seems routine. Recensie

A triumphant exercise in indissoluble friendships and the indomitable human spirit. Recensie

The characters are so badly designed that they’re both meaningless and unbelievable; whether they live or die or succeed or fail holds no significance. Recensie

The comedy can’t surface or find harmony when he’s onscreen. Recensie

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
