My Comment:
I really am disappointed. Two hours spent on boredom. Even though the story was nice but I couldn't feel the enchantment. The only scenes that made me smile were only the ghost brothers. This kind of movie should presented with horrors and thrillers, not comedy. Regret watching this movie.

My Comment:
Wow! A lot of blood kind of movie. I read it on IMDb that it was comedy, action, romance movie. I guess the comedy part was Lindsay and some "blood" scenes which were fake. It was just like "shooting ketchup". I'm sorry to say that this movie is totally crap! It's not buying me! At all!
PS: do you notice that the Senator said "Show Time"?

Great Expectations (1998)

Plot:
Modernization of Charles Dickens classic story finds the hapless Finn as a painter in New York pursuing his unrequited and haughty childhood love.

My Comment:
It's greater than my Great Expectation! What can I say, it's really good! The story was exciting, about a man who has been changed by a mysterious benefactor. And it's enchanting like "a dream come true" story. It's a bit weird at the beginning, the love between kids, and i find it confusing. Most of the scenes, I find it confusing. But i must add, this movie was really special because Robert De Niro appearances. It felt very special in every Robert De Niro's scenes. Happy, funny, sad. That's what a good actor can make in every single scene. I have this thought that the original Charles Dicken story must be better than the movie. Better hurry find the book....

My Comment:
You know, the duration was just too long and i kind of bored..
I prefer the first movie, more exciting and Al pacino still had his young good look, but in this movie he looked old and cruel
It's weird that Michael had this extremely change, he was a soldier and then he became an assassin... How come...

But Robert De Niro gave me a thrill, he's different, young and skinny
