Kid Gleason Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 12:45 PM) could have been that, I was watching a blue ray on a 46 inch tv though. I would have to say "nope...wasn't the theater aspect then". Seems you just didn't like the flick much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot7 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Disagree - I think Borat is one of the best films of the last 10 years. It's too bad you didn't get it. anyone see any of the art movies they're talking about for Oscars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 09:15 AM) "The second one" = Punisher with Thomas Jane. That Punisher had a great opening, but like kyyle said, it came off more like a Charles Bronson "Death Wish" movies. Dark Knight, Batmans Begins and Iron Man are in their own class. Then I'd toss Superman, X2, Batman (1989,) Hellboy, Spider-Man 2, The Incredible Hulk together. Third Stage: X-Men, X-Men 3, Superman 2, Batman Returns, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 3, Spawn, Punisher (Jane) 4th: Batman Forever, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Judge Dredd Bottom of the Barrel: Catwoman, Elektra, Superman 3, Superman 4, Batman and Robin, and probably this new Punisher. I thought Iron man was incredibly crappy and doesnt belong in the same sentence as Dark Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it to you that it does look cool, but folks who complained about the "scary Batman voice" have 2 straight minutes to complain about there! Do you think he does the Scary Bat for the whole film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Scary Bat voice doesnt bother me as much as it does everyone else. What is Batman gonna do, run around and not change his voice? Someone would recognize it. It doesnt sound good, but I dont know what would sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main complaint I saw was that he even used the Scary Batvoice around Alfred and others who knew he was Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 After watching the Dark Knight for the first time since I seen it in the theatre I noticed sooo much more of the landmarks in the city. I dont know how I missed in the very first scene when they blew out the window from the blue building to get across to the old post office.I worked in the blue building for 4 years(300 s Riverside building).Its pretty cool to see your everyday stomping grounds on the big screen.

Oh yes, I saw the bus plow into the building on canal when I worked at 200 s wacker. Also I watched it again last night on my 50in sammy. I liked it MUCH better than sitting in the far right side of the front row at the AMC on Illinois. His voice is very annoying, but i think it was much easier to enjoy Heath's performance on the smaller screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scope and sweep of the story was limited, as appropriate for an origin story, and I thought it was the best film adaptation from a comic book in the last few years.

I've never been a comic book reader, so its based entirely on the value of the movie to me which I thought was boring and full of terrible acting.

LosMediasBlancas Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Will see 'Milk' later today. I'm geeked. And this looks surprisingly interesting. How does M. Tomei get sexier and sexier as she gets older? And what the hell happened to Rourke's face?

No, it was the Batman voice and I'm hardly the only one to notice it. When he's in that guys face he's using his scary Batman voice, it's clear as day.

I thought Terrence Howard was so-so, and that Downey Jr. did a good job encapsulating the conflicted, Tony Stark A-hole persona, although the film took a lot of liberties and made him more solidly a good guy by the end of the film compared to the Stark of comic book canon. I thought Jeff Bridges was just about perfect in his role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I don't take the Golden Globes very seriously, but the fact they snubbed "The Dark Knight", is awful. They did nominated Heath, but not the movie itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this was a movie where you needed some of the background of the actual comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
