TERRIFIC

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2001)

I just returned from the El Captain Theatre in Hollywood, CA where
I was totally entertained by this spectacular blockbuster. There was a mob scene outside the theatre this opening day afternoon (5/25/2001)that included protesters, photographers, and a line of ticket buyers that stretched around the block. It is beautiful to look at, has perfect sound, and wonderful special effects. Many "serious" film critics are blasting it. I suspect that's because it is sentimental, patriotic, romantic, and easy to follow! I loved the music and just bought the CD.
