Sometimes, the second half of a film doesn’t measure up to the first half.
Or, it far surpasses the first half.
No more broken carrot gags or ambling around having a great hobbity time: things get serious.
When the Fellowship is formed the ante is upped and real danger lies ahead.
As he doesnt, the film ends up an uneven mess.
Thats the premise for the best TV-lengthStar Warsmovie of all time.
The second half ofJediis just Ewoks.
Its the movie equivalent of a fantastic Tex-Mex sandwich.
However, once the battle is concluded the film changes tone, becoming an all-boys-together adventure.
Titanic
They flounce around for 2 hours… and then the boat sinks.
However, when you look back at the entire film, nothing really happens until about an hour in.
The result is an awe-inspiring reward for the tepid beginning.
Hulk
The first half ofHulkis fantastic… for a character study of Bruce Banner.
ButHulkis supposed to be a superhero movie.
As a friend of mines kid said, This Hulk film is rubbish, the Hulk isnt in it.
Hes right its nearly an hour until the jolly green giant hits the screen.
And then the tense melodrama is wrecked by silly non-action and an hours worth of CGI boredom.
Ultimately,Hulkis neither a superhero film nor character driven piece.
I hope that they can get the all important mix of action and character right on this outing.
