Filmrecensies van The Massie Twins

The film is intermittently bloody and suspenseful, yet the action is edited with so many cuts and fast-paced camera angle changes that it’s impossible to see what exactly is going on. Recensie

Some of the makeup effects and creature designs are quite arresting, even if the best of them aren’t saved for the finale, which is a tremendously lackluster showdown. Recensie

May be pure fantasy, but it’s smartly paced, unexpectedly complex, action-packed, and thoroughly satisfying. Recensie

The performances are also quite the highlight... Recensie

While the picture might not be a technical marvel, the music is so forceful and enthusiastic that it’s hard not to get caught up in the momentum and the impact of one of the most enduring groups in rock history. Recensie

The story might not hold its relevance over the years, but there’s an undeniable, redemptive quality to the ambiguous finale, which is once again made grander by Davis’ star power. Recensie

The romance is striking, concluding with a famously tragic yet poetic and powerful scene. Recensie

A fascinating character study, bittersweet and insightful yet full of tremendous laughs. Recensie

While this isn’t a drastically different interpretation of the classic story, it’s nicely handled, possessing a seriousness and an updated amount of blood that are entirely fitting for a Hammer endeavor. Recensie

It’s the charming machine and his damsel-in-distress who keep the picture afloat, putting a twist on conventional movie romances... Recensie

There’s just not enough originality to justify its existence, save for satiating (or perhaps pandering to) fans of the franchise. Recensie

There’s also plenty of humor, primarily from political contentions, and villainy to match. Recensie

The moments of over-the-top gore are too often drawn out beyond their points of effectiveness, and the supplementary relationship fails to complicate a plot that was designed around just a couple of gross gags. Recensie

It’s not high art, but it’s a surprisingly memorable slasher endeavor. Recensie

Could have used some considerable polishing to make the most of its original, preteen-oriented adventures. Recensie

Perhaps most disappointing of all is the finale, which manages to be outrageously anticlimactic, even with a few twists that audiences might not guess. Recensie

The finale improves considerably when the yuck factor increases exponentially, borrowing a note or two from Dead Alive and from the many teen slashers that boast villains who refuse to die. Recensie

Outrageously deranged, and with a conclusion that leaves a lot up to the imagination, this is one superbly original production. Recensie

The premise is terribly bleak, but Bergeron’s plight manages to be momentarily hopeful, funny, and provocative as well. Recensie

The combination of action, intermittent comic relief makes for a frivolous yet fun diversion. Recensie

The animation style suits the storyline, with the anime versions of familiar roles nicely adapted from their three-dimensional counterparts. Recensie

Thanks to a powerful, stirring score by Justin Hurwitz, these long-awaited, climactic sequences hold considerable weight. Recensie

This emotional account is woefully timely and perpetually relevant. Recensie

The scope is grand enough to hope for a full franchise, but the plot just isn’t unique enough to want to see more of Riddick’s missions. Recensie
