What a waste of time that was.
A loose bundle of plot that always made me feel like I was left out and expected to know something. Clint Eastwood voice for Batman was too hard to understand. The Joker got old quick and it just plain sucked in my opinion. Best part was when Joker wandered out of the hospital when it blew up in the nurse's dress.

You didnt like the magic trick? :t
IMO the plot was so-so but the acting was top notch. I've always liked Gary Oldman and I thought Christian Bale makes a good Batman AND Bruce Wayne. Personally I like the "Clint Eastwood voice".
-
I liked that he changed his voice as Batman. It always got me trying to figure out in the older movies (Keaton, Kilmer and we won't even SPEAK of Clooney....) how Bruce Wayne and Batman had the same voice, but no one could ever figure it out....

Kinda like how no one could figure out that Clark Kent was Superman in glasses and a business suit instead of his underwear.

superman returns now that was a bad movie. :aok
Hopefully the next one will be good, it's supposed to come out in 2011, "Superman - Man Of Steal", in this one they wont have Lex Luther as the vilian, as of now they haven't pick who the vilian will be.

I didn't like it either. I was way disappointed. The acting was good but the plot was just awful. The script was awful. It was the latest movie of that type that were just awful. Starting with the last Pirates of the Carribean and Spiderman 3. The only decent movies I have seen in the last year are Casino Royale and Wild Hogs. I watch those over and over.

Personally i thought "Dark Knight" was an excellent movie! The plot was kinda ify. When ya thought the movie was done, they would throw something else into it to stretch it out another 15 min.
The only bad movie ive seen lately was Tropic Thunder, i thought it was funny, but not as good as i thought it would be! I havent seen all the Superman movies, so i was kind of lost when i watched Superman Returns!!
Im really looking forward to "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen" and "X-man: Origin of Wolverine" I think both of these movies will be blockbusters!!
-
I guess my age is showing. To me all these hyped movies end up disappointing me. I cant remember hardly any movies Ive seen over the past 3 years. Finding a good memorable movie is tough. Usually a good gauge for me is if I dont know any of the actors I enjoy it.
-
I think one of the best movie I've seen in a few years would be Superbad, I laughed my bellybutton off watching that movie.

Eagle Eyes:
You only needed to see Superman I and II. Superman Returns throws out Superman III and IV (which may be the BEST part of it).

You want a funny movie, rent "Grandmas Boy" it is hilarious.

Finally saw that about 2 months ago...it was funny, but Superbad has it beat!
My all time favorite movies are Top Gun, Kingdom of Heaven, Blackhawk Down, and Saving Private Ryan.....
But i think any movie with Adam Sandler, Jim Carey, Mike Myers, and Robin Williams is to die for! Cant stand Will Farrell though, think he's just an idiot!!
Plus any movie with Will Smith is worth the $9 movie ticket a bunch of times at the local theater!!
-
If you think Dark Knight was a bad movie I suggest you rent a Jean Claude Van-Damme movie and rethink what you just said. :salute :rofl
-
A movie a really enjoyed as of late was Bubble Boy. It's goofy, it's funny, and it makes you feel good.

Yeah I saw that a few months ago when it was on FX I believe, it was definitely funny, but not as funny as Superbad.
-
I enjoyed the film and thought they made some good choices to run their acting. Then again I'm young and enjoy all that eye-candy. :D
Hopefully the next one will be good, it's supposed to come out in 2011, "Superman - Man Of Steal"...
Wow! I thought superman was a hero, not a thief. ;)
-
I finally watched Dark Knight a few days ago.
Average movie.
A strong endorsement of the war on terror but not executed very well. Plot was pretty weak, the Joker was a Joke. I think the Heath Ledger killed himself from embarrassment. Silly Batman voice annoyed me. The only other comic book movie I've seen recently was The Spirit, which was much better. (although it wasn't Good or Great just Above Average)
Road to Perdition is the way a dark movie from an illustrated novel should be done.

Wow, you thought Heath was bad as the joker? I thought he did a great job, acted very well.

Over acting is easy.
I was expecting an amazing performance worthy of suicide. Instead I get Jim Carey on a bad downer.
I expected much of the overhype to be because of his death but not every bit of it. He was worlds better in that other knight movie. The silly one with Chaucer. Funny.
-
For some stupid reason this morning I realized what was missing from that movie. Fun! There was no tension relieving humor. No funny spots. It was pure dreary and almost a sense of hopelessness. All the other Batman movies and including batman begins had a substance of fun. This one didn't.

The part I thought was funny was the Kryptonian roofie (the kiss) Clark gave Lois at the end of Superman II to make her forget.In the years that follow,and in Superman Returns did Lois ever wonder who the father of her child might actually be?

My understanding is that Dark Knight took Batman back the closest to the early days of the comic of any other film, which WAS dark (IIRC, Batman early on actually used firearms, it wasn't until later that he settled for "just" beating and scaring the crap out of his opponents). And I wouldn't say that this movie was missing humor entirely. The humor was really dark, but it was still there (the Pencil Trick is a perfect example).

I thought joker hanging out the back of a police car was kinda funny! :rolleyes:

Saxman, you're scaring me! And I aint afraid of nutin!

I found the part where Joker says to Batman, "you complete me", was hysterical.
I found it to be a GREAT movie, with excellent acting and a good plot.
The movie also had a great soundtrack, along with good cinematography.

“Make sure you have a different opinion and people will talk about you"
“I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions I have no respect.”
“A yawn may not be polite, but at least it is an honest opinion”
“And it's my opinion, and that's only my opinion, you are a lunatic. Just because there are a few hundred other people sharing your lunacy with you does not make you any saner. Doomed, eh?”
Nothing but flame bait....

Noted.
So Ebert, what's some of your favorite movies then?
If they keep disappointing you, why do you keep coming back for more? Do you enjoy depression?

Dark Knight was awesom-o, and Ledger's version of the Joker was spot on

I didn't like it. Mstly because his voice was extrenely irritating too me, but It was too gloomy. I'm definetly not happy to see it coming back to theaters friday.
-
I dont see insane with the new joker. To me, he is an amateur that just slops it on and tried to be scary.

True insanity and crazy is when you do it perfectly and neatly. Only the real nutjobs take the time to make it look exactly perfect, as shown below

And yet Romaro couldn't be troubled to be neat and tidy enough to shave his mustache.
:rolleyes:

Wow smkelly...Im sorry if yer dad was a gaffer for it or something geeze. I had wasted 3 hours sitting through something I had high hopes for. I wanted to give an "anti-hype" to give a heads up of its suckage. Something I wished I had been given.
Ya know sport..dumping on one's opinion isnt very cool.

And it gets the "best picture" oscar snub. Reportedly no comic book film may ever be named best picture. Ledger will get the "best supporting actor" award.
-
Look how long it took a fantasy film to win Best Picture.
The problem with the Oscars is snobbery and politics.
