As Flat as the Original

Rating: 5/10 (29 June 2005)

Steven Spielberg himself, some several months ago, in reference to how good this his new movie is stated that "it has some really scary moments" and that was about all. That left one curious about whether he himself thinks the movie any good. Having now seen this movie it is indeed that, it does have intense moment, and yet like the original decades ago it leaves you fundamentally unsatisfied as it is somewhat shallow. You would think that the most powerful director on earth and leading man could muster up more talent and ability in making this movie better than it is. CGI aside, Surely 50 years should be enough time to make this thing better than it was last time it appeared on the big screen.
