Innovation Where?

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2001)

Here's is the list of movies I think where they got ¡§inspired¡¨ from:
Flood sequence = Flood scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Airship fly over the moon Scene = Bicycle flying in ET
Love scene on airship Sequence = Love scene from Titanic
Zombie Monkey Attack Scene= Raptors attack from Jurassic Park 2 the Lost World
The following are from the first Mummy (1999). Where¡¦s the innovation?
Pillar falling Sequence = Book Shelves falling
Water ¡§face¡¨ chasing sequence = Sand ¡§face¡¨ chasing sequence
"How to say this Egyptian word" sequence (Alex) = "How to say this Egyptian word" sequence (Jonathan)
Funny thing is: You expected the first mummy movie will be a horror movie, and it turned out to be a comedy. Then you expected this time is will be a comedy, it turned out to be an action movie. Hmmm¡K. If we expect an action movie next time on Mummy 3 (Mummy Forever?) it probably will turn out to be a Sci-Fi movie¡K
Over flood a whole movie with non-stopping special effects seems like a filmmaker¡¦s choice for making a summer blockbuster hit nowadays. But with out a good innovating story, without common sense logic in a movie, a movie just turns into nothing but a big gimmicks.
