Believe it the dark knight is overrated - And Chris Nolan the director cites the film Heat as a major influence on this movie. William Fichtner (the bank manager ) played in Heat and in the scene in The Dark Knight that was obviously inspired by Heat.Originally posted by Dot50Cal View PostI saw the Dark Knight finally, but I guess I expected too much from the movie? I went in expecting some epic crime drama with "teh best villain evars". But the film was just boring. The opening scene was interesting, but it was all down hill from there. Maybe it was Ledgers character, but I just didn't see the Joker as a great villain. He seemed like some wimpy guy who managed to con some people to work for him through various means. I guess thats supposed to make him some epic villain?
The story dragged on far too much. I can't even really recall what the movie was about besides Joker constantly escaping police custody, or just harassing certain members of the public while Batman tries to stop him. When do the interesting parts start? There wasn't any kind of drama, and the Batmans love interest storyline was so hard to swallow with her eye bags and generally older looking appearance. There wasn't any clever back and forth between Joker and Batman. Joker was just some insane guy who wanted to see the world burn. That doesn't make for a very interesting villain imo.
I read a critic review that compared the movie to Heat, on that same level of a crime drama. But holy cow, how wrong they are. This was just boring all throughout.
Of course Heat is far surperior than the dark knight in terms of crime dramasigpicComment

What the hell are they doing? The third film was terrible. Robocop was something for the 1980s. Leave it there, that's where it belongs. It's happy there.Originally posted by Nomad9026 View PostSee you in hell.Comment

I think they cut a lot of the action scenes leaving the film dragging on for ages "the casino scene made me want to fall asleep" people where complaining that Daniel Craig was too much like Action Man early on in production, Bond was never to be ripped etc.Originally posted by Scream View Post
Sean Connery is Bond simple as
.
Timothy Dalton was the worst Bond ever imo even though I hated Roger Moore too he tried too much to be like Sean and his sense of humor is awful.
First to last:
Sean Connery
Pierce Brosnan
Daniel Craig
George Lazenby
Roger Moore
Timothy Dalton
Good to see people aren't dick riding Dark Knight just because of a dead actor, I haven't it fully yet but from what I seen so far I prefer Batman Begins I don't like his batman voice either sounds like he's got throat cancer Michael Keaton was much better.Last edited by kevstah2004; 08-20-2008, 02:45 PM.If he had a brain, he'd be dangerous.

Foolishness, my boy!
Dalton brought a certain grittiness to the character that was more in line with the Bond of the novels, and a welcome change from the campness we got with the post-Connery actors. Daniel Craig is doing now what Dalton did back in the 80s, except that people welcome the change today.

They are making a remake, so a new variation of "the dead cop returned as the killing machine" story is going to be made. But who knows maybe they wil make something good, everybody said that Batman was dead after Batman and Robin, but then Begins and Dark Knight apeared, so, who knows.Originally posted by Mr. Spencer View Post"Barry never vanished from the series.

The casino scene was alright, it was the parts after that dragged on like when they were on the beach, the bank transfer etc., it was god damn boring. I wanted to turn it off. I don't really think much of Craig as Bond either, I think it's something to do with his attitude and personality in the film.
I saw RE Extinction on Blu-ray last night. It seemed better than the first time I saw it but the Alice is god parts really sucked. I saw the deleted scenes too.. "Everyone is telling stories about you Alice".. what were they thinking, really...Comment

The recent films I saw was Wall-E and The Mummy 3 w/c both disappoint me.

See, the reason why Robocop worked so well was not only because of its themes (corporate greed, the loss of humanity and the transition of man to machine), but chiefly because the entire film was a social commentary on the 1980s. I don't think that same thing can work in this day and age, unless they go down a completely different route and throw a whole new spin on things. Regardless, it just won't feel the same, won't give the same vibe as the original. It's also kind of interesting to know that Robocop has all the traits of cyberpunk, yet it never sold itself as such, unlike a certain other film that got overhyped and praised too much for being something it wasn't.Originally posted by Nomad9026 View PostLast edited by Mr. Spencer; 08-21-2008, 03:19 PM.See you in hell.Comment

I watched Fight Club last night. It's still one of my favorite movies, and the book it was based on is also amazing. Chuck Palahniuk (the original author) is an absolute genius.
I've also been watching a lot of Marilyn Monroe movies. She's amazing <3Comment

Eh, Fight Club is overrated. It's alright, but it gets far too much praise than it deserves.See you in hell.Comment
