...formidable." They sure do, especially England, the top-ranked side that has beaten everyone of note recently. This is a different England from what most rugby fans have come to expect from the game's inventors. Superbly coached by the meticulous Clive Woodward, their tough and technically peerless pack is this time complemented by a speedy backline guided by the world's best fly-half (and goal kicker), Jonny Wilkinson. England is favored to become the first side from the northern hemisphere to win the Cup - the only reservation stemming from the apparent flaw in the mentality of English sports...

It was a truly Napoleonic comparison, but contained a kernel of truth: the Napoleonic legend is enjoying something of a resurrection these days in France...
...loop) or imposing (the final vista of an orange sky). And they give a vertiginous kick to the fight scenes. A mile-high car chase has cool dips and speed bumps. An arena battle begins as a Gladiator knock-off and then escalates, with lumbering monsters that recall the peerless work of stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen. A light-saber duel in the dark has loads of drama and glamour...
