And heaven forbid people expect more from films than "entertainment". I'm sorry if you don't think the art of film is capable of meaningful expression beyond basic escapism, but mocking people for their tastes just makes you look ignorant. |

Maybe I'm on my own boat here, but honestly, why do people try to use the most underused words they can think of when reviewing a film? Trying to sound like a cunning linguist? Did they pick out a word from the Synonym section on Dictionary.com and say "Oh well it means the same thing so it must be the right word!" It's a pet peeve of mine to see people try to flex their brainpower when honestly who really uses that word in a day to day world?

Bane's death was less satisfying than Kirk's in Star Trek, where he simply fell down a mountain because a bridge collapsed. That's saying quite a bit.
The dude should have been lured into a trap and eventually succumbed to Batman's superior intelligence. That is Batman. Shit, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the biggest meathead EVER, and even he took out a ****ing Predator via a triumph of cunning over clod.

What? It's ironic that I am able to view film as art? You're the one mocking people's taste while calling them a snob. I have no problem with film as entertainment or escapism and for the record, I love the Nolan Batman Trilogy. I just think they can be more. I'm not even a huge fan of your example, "There Will be Blood", but it's silly to claim someone is a snob when you are the one being exclusionary.

you know that scene was an ad lib by Harrison? He was supposed to have a long battle with the guy, but after several takes in extremely hot weather, Ford was joking around when he pulled the gun and shot him.

Nolan had a problem in that Bane needed to die. But Batman doesn't kill people. Someone else HAD to do the deed. By showing Batman having defeated him, and letting Hotty McLeatherpants blow him up, he solved the dilemma.

If it appeared I was specifically defending Reaper, I wasn't. Your post, while in response to Reaper, was a general attack on those you deem to be movie snobs that revealed you as something of one yourself. It's something I see all the time and it tends to bother me.

Finally saw this tonight. I really enjoyed it. I liked it far better than the last one, although I still think the first one is the best.
One question - and bite me if asked and answered, but it's late and I don't feel like digging through hundreds of posts. Was the guy who ended up being Robin supposed to be the same kid who was on the roof with Rachel at the end of the first movie? |
