Mission accomplished

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2002)

I preferred this installment to the first. My sixth grade daughter
Mary read the book before we went to the movie. I was proud of her
for that accomplishment so I made an extra effort to care about this
film. Although this latest incarnation continues to be episodic and
off putting to the non-devout, I did find it engaging enough to
remain awake and somewhat focused although I was looking
forward to the "denouement". I'm sure i'll attend the next
installment so from the franchistic point of view, mission
accomplished.
