cavalock: the original suffers from "telling" instead of "showing". I love teh soundtrack from teh movie. Completely electronic. Best use of a theremin I have ever heard.
barbara: the second one is definitely much punchier. Apparently, the music is from Batman Begins.
I never liked Star Wars. I though tit seriously lacked a plot and I was not blon away by the special effects. I remember thinking, "I still see the blue screen fringing. How is this a leap forward?"
really big difference. hehehe. the second video didn't have any words except for monster of id but you'll be encouraged to watch the film. for the first video, i think i'll agree that it's an unusual film. hehehe ;p
tin-tin: either way, it is still the same movie. While a bit dated, I still think it is a great movie. Probably a bit slower than what modern audiences are into, though, but I think the climax is well worth it.

Over the summer I saw a bunch of movies with the kids and here are my reviews of them: Prince Caspian A movie with no plot, no substance, just lots of fighting. To give you idea of how violent the movie is, whenever I asked the kids what they were watching on TV they would reply, "Don't worry, it's not as violent as Prince Caspian." I think the movie can be summed up as follows: Susan: (Examining the ruins of Narnia) "What happened here?" Peter: "I don't know, but lets go thump something" Lucy: "Shouldn't we wait for Aslan?" Peter: "Aslan's not coming. Let's go thump something." (One epic battle gone wrong, a macho hand-to-hand battle gone well for the hero , and in the midst of another epic battle going wrong, Lucy comes across Aslan.) Aslan: "Why didn't you wait for me?"
