Collectively Marvel is far superior in producing Quality Movies.
It probably won't live up to my expectations, i fucking loved the dark knight.
I liked DK, but didn't love it. It felt like it was constantly building up for the first 2 hours, then the climax was kind of a let down. It didn't help that Rachel was unattractive and unappealing so I didn't care that she died, which ruined the significance of Bruce's decision for me.Quote:

I loved TDK when I saw in in IMAX, but when I tried to rewatch it on bluray later, I honestly got bored.
So I won't get my hopes up, and ultimately enjoy this when I go to see it. I don't think it will disappoint, but I think I've finally got it in my head that these are more thought-provoking takes on Batman, rather than action extravaganzas.
Yup, exactly. And it's about time that take was done properly in a video format too because Batman is the kind of character in the kind of setting that is just begging to be portrayed in that light. Of the Christopher Nolan movies, the Dark Knight is tied with The Prestige for my favorite spot. So this third movie definitely has some high expectations.Quote:

There is absolutely no way this movie is going to, in any way, appropriate the Knightfall story. There isn't going to be an alternate Batman, Bruce isn't going to get his back broken, and it isn't going to be a boring-ass "fight all your previous villains to get to the end boss" thing like Knightfall. The only thing it's appropriated from that story is the idea of the criminal counterpart to Batman embodied in both Catwoman and Bane.
You can clearly see Bane releasing all the inmates in the trailer, you can clearly see batman fighting them and getting tired, you can clearly see him fighting bane in less than peak condition; something is going to happen to bats in this movie, whether it's bane breaking his back or just beating the shit out of him doesn't really matter, all that matters is that bats is going to lose his first encounter with Bane.
I can't wait to see this movie. Thanks for sharing these trailers here at http://www.gotwoot.net
Maybe the best trailer so far:

Wow, looks pretty awesome. A little too chaotic though. I thought the second movie suffered from too much going on, and the editing got sloppy towards the middle so it cut from scene to scene without flow. Hopefully the story and action in DKR is more cohesive and flows better.
I love Michael Caine as Alfred.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
My boner is prepared.
I just re-watched most of Batman Begins and it has the same sporadic episodic jumping from scene to scene that I thought was poor editing in the Dark Knight. I had just forgotten that the same style was used in the first movie. Then I realized it might have been intentional on the part of Chris Nolan to mimic the comic-book panel-by-panel feel. If that is true, the man is a genius.
Im pretty sure it was intentional; the scenes still didnt leave you feeling like you missed out on anything.Quote:

Help me out here, there seems to be a contradiction.

By the way, Gyllenhaal was vastly more believable as Rachel Dawes, who is supposed to be an Assistant District Attorney. Katie Holmes felt like a Dawson's Creek character pretending to be a law student in a high school play.
I thought referring to him as "Tom fucking Cruise" was enough to cast my remark in a sarcastic tone, especially considering all the shit in entertainment news about what a freak he is and how controlling and demented he is. So definitely I was being sarcastic and giving him shit for not letting Katie Holmes reprise her role in the 2nd movie.Quote:

And you could really feel the sincere affection and desire that Bruce Wayne felt for her in the first movie, though that might just have been Christian Bale being a badass actor. I didn't get that feel in the second movie.
