Batman begins

I have been expecting to watch this movie, partly because of its high rating on IMDB (over 8.5/10), and partly because of its strong cast (talented director, several great actors, etc.). But to be honest, I am kind of disappointed with this movie after I watched it eventually. I have to admit some scenes are beautiful and well-designed, and the movie inherited the dark and mestic style of the comic and previous batman movies. The flaws still remain in the plot and acting. The story is too simple and actors don't express the inside of characters very well. I don;t think Christian Bale is a fit actor for Bruce Wayne. I still miss Tim Burton's Batman returns. It;s already been a milestone of batman movies and so hard to be surpassed

war of the worlds: Another Hollywood Commercial movie

undoubtedly, this movie is a feast of visual effects. After all, it's the most expensive movie so far. However, I was always thinking it seemed to lack something, although it has all kinds of elements: movie star, famous director, fantastic computer animation, classic story, etc. Oh, yes, it lacks surprise. Steven Spielberg
was always able to surprise audience. Remember "ET", "Jurassic Park", and "Schedeler's List"? But today's "War of World" could be made by any director besides him. Spielberg's golden age was over.
