Never said they were bad movies. But I don't believe in liking every "classic" movie. Same thing with video games; I don't like Ocarina of Time or Xenogears.
I don't like Final Fantasy. Fal'cie L'cie my balls.
they say opinions cant be wrong and yet, here we are.
Batman Begins doesn't fall apart in the third act. Tommy Lee Jones Two Face make up looks more convincing than hilarious cgi face (with intact eyeball) in TDK. His transformation into bad guy is more forced than Anakin in Episode 3. Batman retires at the end just to make a speech.
Aliens is definitely better than Alien 3. They took the ending of 2 and trashed it. The storyline of 3 wasn't too bad on its own but I hate when movies trash something that ended well.
Actually yes it totally does the third act where all of a sudden there's a villain with a villain plot lol, you want to talk about forced? We went from watching this gritty grounded realization of the Batman to a ninja fight on a train that's vaporizing water. Which by the way if it's strong enough to vaporize water through the ground into the pipes then it would vaporize the water in our bodies no problem. Batman Begins tried to rely on a big action finale like most comic book films but Nolan hadn't found his way with directing action scenes yet. And it was much more preferable to deal with a climax based around human weakness and how easily corruptible the human spirit is especially since those are themes that run through the franchise.
The believability of vaporizing water isn't as important as characters acting in realistic manner. Liam Neeson in Begins was a mystery, his motives make sense in the end. Harvey Dent is some goody good city official, not any different than Gordon. Something bad happens to him and suddenly he's a bad guy who is easily manipulated by Joker. He can kill Joker in a hospital, but decides to throw a coin. Why? Then he dies like an idiot and Batman decides to take blame so that "the city" wouldn't know about Dent turning villain. I can never buy that shit. How gullible is "the city" supposed to be?
Harvey Dent was a man who believed he could control chance one of the ways he did this was with a coin that was heads on both sides so when it seemed like he was gambling something huge on chance he wasn't. This was the symbol he gave to the woman he loved before enacting a plan to catch the Joker that ended in him burned and her dead. The coin is given to him and when he looks at the other side one side is burned it is no longer in his control where fate lands this is the symbolic representation of that.
It's all mental gymnastics to explain a poorly written character. It would be more believable if scarred Dent said fuck the procedure and shot Joker in the face. And from there he'd started to turn.
The Dark Knight Rises an excellent movie so I don't know what point you're trying to make. I'm not engaged in any kind of mental gymnastics it doesn't require mental gymnastics to explain someone changing their worldview because of something traumatic happening.
This. I enjoyed the Coen Brothers other films more. Not to say Lebowski is bad. It's hilarious and I can understand why it's such an iconic film to some, but I've seen better from the Brothers.
I've never seen the appeal, theyre shit films with a wank plot and too much singing. Lion King came out when I was a kid, my male mate said to me "I cried when I watched lion king". I never looked at him the same way again, the fanny.
Anything by Kevin Smith - My brother would hate me for this since he's a huge fan of the guy's films, but I always thought Smith's films were kinda garbage.
Pretty sure I can come up with more later on.
