see!!! Not much to recommend for adults and some scenes may be too intense for those under 9, the special effects are flawless, and a wonder to behold much like "PIRATES OF...," movie, but unlike the pirates movie, this didn't really have anything going for it, the story of a lovelorn ghost longing to be reunited with his reincarnated love has been told countless times before.
No doubt this will make a lot of money, afterall it has Eddie Murphy at his wide eyed best, made by Walt Disney, has great special effects, but it doesn't have a story you'll be recommending to anybody.
The young actor playing the son, has some funny moments, but isn't it growing tiresome that politically correct Hollywood screenwriters consistantly creates the brave sister and the whimp brother?
As for the actress portraying Murphy's wife, she is truly a beautiful woman, with a very sweet smile, and I could almost understand a ghost hanging around a couple of hundred years to be reunited with her.
If you want to see an excellent, often touching, but tough, rugged, often violent action film see "The Missing"!!!
Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett plus the young girl playing the youngest daughter offer outstanding performances. |
