Saw Batman Begins the other day, and War of the Worlds today. Both great movies. Of the two I would say Batman Begins is the better movie, as it gives you more to run through your brain than War of the Worlds.
Michael Keaton was my batman since he squeaked into the latex the first time, but now Christian Bale is THE caped crudsader in Batman Begins. Amazing job all round, and a case of M&M's to all concerned. The movie didn't even need the usual over the top effects, it was THAT good. Great acting, and lots of it. Go see it now, and then go see it again. I don't think I am spoiling it by saying that Batman is a Ninja, oh my goodness, how kewl is that!?!??!
War of the Worlds reminded me of long past evenings spent cringing in horror at the Daleks in Dr.Who. This movie didn't mess about, it got on with things early, and did not let up for a moment. If you are like me, and like stuff that blows up, then you will definately like this. It seemed like five disaster movies all packed into one. It flew by, as did most of the body parts, and houses, and cars, and boats, and puppies, and horses, and blood, and just about everything else you can imagine. These aliens were not very pleasant visitors to our stinky planet. Go see it, but make sure you strap yourself in for the ride, it is great. Definately a 'see it at a theatre' movie, unless you have the screen and sound equipment to be able to do this masterpiece justice, you will just have to put up the cash for the tickets.
These movies really were great fun. Groovy in the extreme.
Both good romps, but in my opinion, only Batman Begins is worth more than one viewing.
