Welcome to Pandora, home of the universe’s most UNOBTAINABLE element—UNOBTAINIUM. Plus, a paraplegic jarhead becomes the “chosen one” for an alien race, and James Cameron dazzles us again with one of the most wildly imaginative new worlds ever put on screen.
We take our first trip to a galaxy far, far away to meet a whiny farmboy, a cocky smuggler, and a shit-talking princess. Plus, the most underwhelming light saber duel in Star Wars history, the Death Star has a vulnerable spot that puts the Titanic to shame, and could Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ben Kenobi really be the same person?
The Chamber of Secrets and some wild monsters come to life on screen. But it’s amazing how much important setup can get left out of a 2 hour 40 minute movie.
Magic… mystery… romance… and everything else you’d expect from a turn-of-the-century tale of a magician trying to get back the love of his life from a power-hungry prince while staying one step ahead of the police. This one just happens to star my favorite actor.
Hogwarts, quidditch, the “Dark” Forest, and the entire wizarding world come to life. This was my most anticipated movie ever when it came out in 2001… did it live up to the hype?
