Matt’s Top 3 Movies

1 Avatar
I don’t usually enjoy fantasy movies. I don’t like The Lord of the Rings or Star Wars. But Avatar is
different. It is a fantasy movie and an action movie and it has amazing special effects. The movie also
has an important message – don’t destroy the environment.
2 Batman: The Dark Knight
I often go to the movies, but I hardly ever see a really great movie. Batman: The Dark Knight is fantastic.
In the movie, the British movie star Christian Bale plays Batman and the Australian star Heath Ledger
plays the Joker. The Joker can’t stand Batman and wants to kill him but, in the end, Batman wins.
3 Shrek 2
My sister loves animated movies and her favorite movie is Toy Story. I don’t usually like animated movies
but I sometimes watch them when they are very funny. I prefer comedies – the Superhero Movie is
fantastic! I think Shrek 2 is great because it is a comedy and an animated movie. That’s why I really like
it! It is the only movie that I watch with my sister! There are three main characters in the Shrek movies –
Shrek, Donkey and Princess Fiona. I really like Shrek but I prefer Donkey. He is my favorite character.
