Return To The Theater

In the first 6-7 months of 2005 I didn’t go to the movies once, kind of insane. In the last few weeks I’ve gone a few times, starting with some blockbusters, they’re the ones that benefit the most from the big screen. A few notes (soft spoilers in there).

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith

Starts slow, continues with some bad acting but the visuals are incredible and it’s fun the rest of the way. Not great but fun and it ties up things acceptably well. Question: How the hell is it better to leave the dude burning alive than to finish him off?

Batman Begins

Best non-comic Batman version evah! Good story, good action, looks good. Ex.cell.ent. Could have done without the Batmobile chase scene though. Useless.

Fantastic Four

Johnny Storm superbly done. Jessica Alba is too hot to be Suzie Storm. The Thing was ok, I was expecting a bit better. Reed Richards sucked arse. They fucked up Doom’s origin.
