Seeing Batman didn't really land his punch on that thug's face really annoys me.

I can't even remember which movies with disagree on, Yamato. Apart from Tintin, which I will defend to the death.

Tintin was action overkill. Watched it twice just to give it a second chance and yea, still didn't like it the second time. Nice visuals though.
 
Regarding the extra footage in the trailer, I read something about it somewhere in the last thread and then went off of this post from the first page of this thread

Yep.
There's some more footage of Batman brawling with Bane outside, some Batpod scenes, and then there's a bit with Tony Stark blowing up the Batcave

Perhaps the last part of what's spoilered should have been a clue that the whole thing was a joke. I wanted to believe so bad :/

Yeah if there was extra footage in the trailer you best believe it would be online by now bootleg style plus DM would have informed us.

The Prestige is his best because it's Nolan's best execution of the theme of obsession (which is either A theme or THE theme in every one of his movies).

I think of it as a modern Amadeus, although The Assassination of Jesse James takes the best film title for this theme (at least for the last decade).

Tell me a movie where the actual million dollar/star actor lands a real punch or receives one.

The Dark Knight. Christian Bale actually punched the shit out of Heath Ledger in the interrogation scene.

Fight Club. Edward Norton actually punched Brad Pitt in the ear.

The Avengers. I won't say what the fight was (haven't seen the movie yet, read it in an interview), but one cast member punched another cast member multiple times in the scene for real.

Ok I can see that happening for TDK, but I don't know if Bale can actually "punch". You don't get to see if he is transferring his weight or just moving his arm. If it was just his arm moving you can't really generate that much force.

Well judging from Cap's phantom boxing bag punch, Evans doesn't know how to punch at all. If there was a bag there I don't know if he would have budged it or broken his hand. I heard RDJ actually has training.
 
I just realized the one thing that was really bothering me about the trailer.

The music. While its great and I can't wait for the soundtrack, the trailer music falls flat right when you expect it to go bombastic. I think right when he says "not everything not yet" you expect the theme from the previous two movies but instead it remains very low key.

Just that slight change would have made it so much more hype.

It's not just that. The trailer is poorly edited and lacks any real punch.

Just the choice of shots and timing was poor.

Eg: They could have actually shown Batman saying 'Not everything..' THEN cut to him watching the city from high above '..not yet.' and it would have had a much bigger impact. Little things like that. Totally lacking punch in that trailer. TDK trailer fucking nails shit like this.
 
Never thought I'd say this, but Nolan better really deliver with TDKR, lest the Avengers be the best superhero movie of the summer.

I love it, because it doesn't over power that moment. That moment alone should be the punch, not the score.

Taking cues from Arkham City! Or, more than likely, just an awesome coincidence!

Either way hell yeah, this is a nice development

Hmm,
In the prologue reel, he's driving between moving cars in an tunnel with his magic lightbulb gun strapped to his bike. In the trailer, when he pulls the gun out, there's a line of cars behind him all stopped with their lights off.

That's when the strings kick in.

The Avengers love surprises me. I won't have time to see it until next week (finals... ughhh), and I have no doubt it's entertaining, but it strikes me as something that's going to be immensely fun to watch with a crowd the first time and then subsequent rewatches will have diminishing returns.

I expected it to be hot garbage, but I thought it was about the best attempt at a large ensemble superhero movie Ive seen.

My surprise of the year so far.

id have to agree with him.

TDKR will most likely be the best movie but Avengers is going to be really hard to top in the fun, funny, awesome/badass department.
 
I've said in the OT and a few other places, but I was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed by Avengers. Thought the fact they were cramming in 400 people would make it shit, then when all the reviews came out I expected more. But it was good fun all the same. High 3/5 for me.

Personally, I can tell I'm going to like TDKR more.

EDIT: And on the subject of rewatches... saw it on Monday and would have given it a low 3, saw it today and it improved.

That was my favourite part actually, the music was done so well as soon as that line hit (for me at least)

High praise, especially considering how you didn't like the other Marvel movies iirc.
