I enjoyed the third movie, but the first and the second reminded me of the First two of the aliens series. Both were extremely well done, in but very different flavors. The third was good, I enjoyed it, I got what I came for, but I did not feel the excitement and "emotional investment that I felt during the first two films. I don't know why, but nevertheless I have no complaints

Due to all the amazing action and fight scenes, no doubt. Yet i still think the first film is the best, because along with the action, it had the great suspense and mystery as Jason (and we) tried to figure out who he was. The mix of the suspense, the action, the locales, and his relationship with his lady made that film really enjoyable. I *love* the third film, but it didn't reach me as emotionally as the first. > this happens to me a lot. For example, from the Star Trek trilogy of films with the OS crew that started with Khan, most people I know love the Trek films "Wrath of Khan" (great over-the-top action and acting) or "The Voyage Home" (fun and funny ). I love those, but the one that stays with me most is "The Search for Spock" with its emotional impact of Kirk and McCoy risking all to save a friend. The beginning of Spock's death replayed on black and white, the obvious sadness of Sarek when he thinks Spock's essence is gone? Powerful. The scene of the Enterprise falling from the sky, Kirk looking at saying "My God, Bones, What have i done". Chokes me up even now. Kirk's son David killed. Sad. The Klingon Bird of Prey soaring through the Vulcan skies to Mount > Seleya? Moving. And the final scene when Spock says "Jim...your name is Jim". Sends me soaring. all the action and FX and aliens in those movies, and it's the emotional bits in "Search for Spock" that i keep going back too. > > Friends will love a movie that's chock full of action and fight and FX, and I may like a similar film that's similarly action-packed but a little deeper emotionally, and they roll their eyes at me. > > -------------- Original message -------------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Alvin and the C-Munks....
