mais ou sont les films d'antan ?

Rating: 3/10 (24 July 2005)

I was watching a Spielberg movies and yet , in the very same time, was longing to watch a real Spielberg movie. As other comments mentioned, one cannot really believe this is the director who gave us the second, third and fourth degree encounter movies; or Minority Report; or even ET... something is lacking. In fact, so many things are lacking !!! the Spielberg vision. The Spielberg "hand". All what was left from his previous movies is the blond-haired misunderstood child who now becomes hysteric and overreacts. A good script. A story well put together. you can name the rest, the list is open. Instead, we have Tom Cruise displaying his usual acting style: running, screaming, and playing the hero for two hours which seem never-ending.... What a pity, Tom !!! what a difference compared to your performance in Minority Report , or Magnolia, or Collateral....you were really acting in these movies....what happened now ? I did not expect to see extraordinary special effects. we have seen to many of these already. But this movie is even worse than Independence Day. That one at least had some humour. Sadly, War of the Worlds is a huge disappointment. Hollywood, please, no more alien invasions, no more dinosaurs, no more sword-and-sandal epics, no more Delta Force actions, no more disasters and tragedies(we see too many of them on CNN and Real TV, thank you very much). How about some real movies ? about real people, real life, real small-time everyday average lives of ordinary people? like the good old movies of the '80s and '90s ?
