Surprisingly incoherent and boring
So much average
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Or, Ernst, Bobbie and the wicked Onix as the international title might go. Onix is a bad guy. He wants to chop down a forest and build a tarmac factory on the spot. His further plans include putting the whole of The Netherlands and Belgium under a layer of tarmac. Needless to say, Ernst and Bobbie don't agree. So the adventure is on.Played with the characters that normally play the TV-series this film is fun for the children that like the series, and pretty watchable for their parents/guardians. Personally I found it a rather bad film - not very stable and with a lot of plot holes, but it's a children's film, so what do you want? It was also rather short - can't have been more than 80 minutes.All in all I think these guys should stick to TV-series and theater shows and not hit the cinema. It just doesn't work for them. Too many holes, too many things lacking to make it good cinema material, even for a children's film.4 out of 10 TV-series turned into bad films.
