MichaelWeston Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 [quote name='B.A.B.' timestamp='1343775233' post='1142065'] Memento gets a lot of praise, but I am proud to say that I absolutely hate that movie. Nolan is probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite director out, and that is his only movie that I genuinely dislike. I'm happy that all of my friends that I know all hate that movie too. I understand why people would like it, but..I just absolutely can't stand it. To me, Nolan's movies go in order of: The Prestige > Batman Begins > everything else > Memento [/quote] Anyone who disagrees you is not as sophisticated when it comes to movies and therefore their opinion doesn't matter.

Especially compared to Batman Begins, which is easily the best of these movies. Batman Begins > The Dark Knight Rises > The Dark Knight [/quote] I agree with this. But I would also add due to his untimely death, his performance, which was good, is given extravagant praise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It was brilliant. Maybe I'm just projecting too much. But it seems to me to be taboo to to use anything other than superlatives when describing it. Shifting gears, was the actor who played Bane the same one who did Voldemort? edit: apparently not. I have no idea what made me think that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Elflocko| Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Just got back from seeing it, and I really enjoyed it. My beefs: [spoiler]* If they bombed the hell out of the city, including the underlying structure of the stadium and city, how did they have power to run the mics and jumbo-tron? *Whines Hard lived *I thought the manner of Bane's death was opaque and a bit of a let-down. Just thought he went down like a bitch and his character deserved better. *Even flown a couple of miles out to sea a 6 megaton nuclear detonation is going to irradiate most of the city and you would see a huge chunk of the population suffering from radiation poison.[/spoiler] Overall, the fact that it was 3 hours long and didn't *feel* like 3 hours is testament enough that it was a very good film and anything but mediocre. I still like "Begins" better... Loved Hathaway, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Finally got around to seeing it. Bane was awesome. Easily one of my favorite villains. The voice had a little to do with that. The time flew. For a movie that is double the time as most other movies, it felt faster. Enjoyed it very much. From the comments in here, I'm assuming another one isn't coming out because it is a triology? I was under the impression that since they brought the Robin storyline and it seemed like it was destined for another movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gary Oldman might have said the same. Nolan has said that he thinks a Catwoman spinoff for Anne Hathaway would be great with her, but didn't display any interest in directing that either. He was more just answering a question about her character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan also said he'd never introduce the Robin character. Things change. Besides, technically he just DID a movie with the Robin character in it, lol.

JC Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 That's too bad. These movies are fantastic. I'm no movie buff, but I think every single one has been terrific. I think there is a lot they could do with Batman, Robin, and Catwoman. I suspect once the DVD comes out there will be some pressure to do another one. Hope he caves..
