The quality of the animation never fails to impress, but cant cover up for the fact that this is one of the blandest cartoon tales ever to come out of the Disney studios. Extremely disappointing.

The Tuxedo
In whats essentially Rush Hour minus the wit, Chan looks lost without the quick-wittedness of a Chris Tucker-type to take some of the attention away from his obvious lack of acting ability. And thats coming from someone who likes him.
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Breathtaking. Gorgeous locations, good (if not great) dialogue and some fantastic battle scenes. As always Gandalf (McKellan) is outstanding, as are the performances generally enhanced from the first movie. The ents dont fail to disappoint, although I would have liked to have seen a lot more time devoted to them.
The Truth About Charlie
A film that shows the clues to a mystery are right in front of you; and the right answers the simplest ones.
The Transporter
Average. Only Statham keeps this film alive with his square-jawed looks and almost irreverent expressions. If you like action movies (and in particular martial arts movies) go see this.
The Sum of all Fears
This is a decent action film that provides good solid entertainment plus a great big bomb explosion, but it doesnt have the depth of either its predecessors or the Clancy novels.
