Did a quick page flip to skim for The Dark Knight in case it was already mentioned because it felt like a cliche to say it by now but TDK is massively overrated.*
EDIT: *adding the obvious to say Heath Ledger did a great job and that overrated doesn’t mean total ass
I find myself enjoying The Dark Knight Rises a lot more than TDK. In fact TDKR is my favourite of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.
Now that’s a hot take.
He has the same problems as Lucas, just in the opposite direction. Whereas Lucas doesn’t add enough emotion to his stories, Spielberg adds too much emotion.
Is that how Indiana Jones came out so perfect?
Literally the only good thing that was filmed in Attack of the Clones is the less than 5 minute sequence when Anakin goes on the hunt for his mother, finds her and kills the Sandpeople.
What about the death sticks gag? To me that’s the highlight of the film.
Relative to it’s budget, it’s the worst film ever made.
You’ve clearly never seen RoS.
I’ve no issues with Jar Jar Binks and don’t know why people are so incensed by said character.
I second this.
Multiplayer-only games have no appeal to me. I prefer single player offline games.
And this.
The 70mm animation is incredible, as is the soundtrack by Tchaikovsky.
They resurrected Tchaikovsky for this? Now I’m tempted to see it. But not quite tempted enough to actually do it. Never cared much for Disney. There’s an unpopular opinion for ya.
If J. R. R. Tolkien was as gifted an editor as he was a writer, I may have been able to finish reading The Lord of the Rings. As-is, the books are too frikkin’ bloated.
The Hobbit I could handle but LotR’s six chapters of lollygagging in the Shire I could not. Those books could be half as long as they are and be all the better for it.
It feels like a world in which to live rather than a story to consume, if that makes sense.
That does make sense. Just not quite for me.
For some ungodly reason I got to the urge to throw on Kingdom of the Crystal Skull again and know what? It kinda owns.
KotCS is great.
Superhero Comics, especially Batman, have gotten WAY too dark and gritty in this century.
Haven’t they been doing that since the 80s?
What the flying fuck are the good plot advancing reasons for sex scenes other than to please the bloody audience?!
I feel like if they’re gonna have sex scenes they should at least commit and make it full-on porn. The way I see it, that way they would serve as the perfect culmination of a compelling relationship.
