I think they could've truly pushed the envelope on this one but instead played it safe and ended up with a cynical yet clinical look at marriage. You're far, far better off with the teasingly evil Mr. & Mrs Smith (1941) from the master himself, Alfred Hitchcock.
Batman Begins - Hey, I liked this more dramatic and deeply gloomy rendition. It's refreshing after seeing Tim Burton's more "Please-don't-hate-me-'cause-I'm-weird" interpretation of the comic book hero's story. Batman as humanistic character study, and philosophical clashes to boot. I also like how the special effects this time takes the passenger seat while the human drama drives. A mindful action movie - the hero's journey. |
The Mr. & Mrs. Smith TV series was great, Im a big fan of the series so I had some high expectations for the film, I thought it was a good movie, safe but good.
