well it IS still a comic book movie, and i don't know that its neccesarily the realism, but at least they try to have realistic explanation for things, like all of batman's gadgets and shit. Someone explain to me how a geeky teenager would have the resources to make a suit like in Spiderman, and why the hell he'd make it red and blue? When's the last time you saw a red and blue spider?

In your opinion, but the majority of critics and people in general would disagree as the 92% on rotten tomatoes would suggest.
There's a pretty funny commercial for Comcast out.
About a family that just moved to Gotham.
And the father asks how everything is going.
The mom is like some nutjob blew up the van with a rocket launcher.
The daughter comes out the bathroom holding a can of Fear toxin and asks her parents what it is.
The dad is looking at the newspaper and there is an explosion next to their house.
Don't know why liked.

Kevin Smith saw the movie and wrote a small review in his myspace blog.
Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that's not an overstatement). It's the "Godfather II" of comic book films and three times more earnest than "Batman Begins" (and fuck, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn't so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but he'll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor. Fucking flick's nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can't imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece.

Im pretty sure that Dark Knight will be the best comic book movie so far. Until Iron Man 2 anyway

300 was trash. It was a 10 minute movie stretched to 2 hours through the magic of slow motion. :lol
V for Vandetta was just ok, Iron Man was FANTASTIC.

V for Vendetta was a completely different movie than Iron Man. It was also a better movie.

IGN reviews can suck my balls.
I'll wait for AO Scotts review.
Thanks.

What about all the other reviews that have gone up that aren't IGN? Or do you only trust A.O. Scott?Karma Kramer said:

I pretty much don't listen to reviews typically, so I won't decide anything on the film till I see it. But I am just taking reviews for this movie less than a grain of salt, just due to the amount of hype surrounding it.
It looks like its going to be awesome though.
But IGN reviews really are fucking horrible.

Hope the action isnt still Random Shaky Crap. The one complaint i had of the first movie was that the action scenes sucked ass.

According to pretty much every review so far, and Stinkles, you can actually see all the action this time.Kabuki Waq said:

if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
Good to hear...shaky-cam is a cheap, lazy cover for crappy direction.Snidely Whiplash said:
My other big problem with the first movie was the dialogue. It seemed like every single line had to be laden with portent and meaning--which made it sound overwrought and unnatural.

they didn't have a proper amount of time to choreograph things in batman begins, so they had to use quick cuts like they didChairman Yang said:
in the dark knight, bale had a lot more time to learn the fighting styles and work on the scenes like they should be shot

I would have been more impressed if he compared it to the godfather. Godfather > Godfather II.

Oh shit...
I just realized that The Dark Knight will be opening when the Off Topic forum will be down due to E3. We won't be able to have nerdgasms about the movie!!! THE OFFICIAL THREAD OF MASTERPIECES WILL BE DELAYED.
MY GOD. WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

I prefer godfather because of its pace. Godfather II feels like its meandering at times.

It has Natalie Portman. I bought the Darjeeling Limited for Natalie Portman. I watched Goya's Ghosts for Natalie Portman. I own two copies of Episode One, one for Darth Maul, and the other for Natalie Portman. Leon The Professional is sexier than any non-Natalie Portman movie.vas_a_morir said:
V for Vendetta is the best fucking comic book movie ever made, and I don't even know what it's about.
