3 stars to Godfather 2? Now THAT is unacceptable.

 

[brandonh83]

...and gave 3 1/2 stars to Star Wars Episode III

That's pretty accurate IMO.

 

[Daft_Cat]

...man Ebert's all over the place.

Why's he running, Dad?

 

[shira]

4 stars = Batman Begins
3.5 stars = The Amazing Spider-man
3 stars = The Dark Knight Rises
2 stars = mediocre
1 star = crap

sorry GAF, it is the way of things.

BM Forever 2.5
BM, BMR, BM Robin 2

Yeah, wtf?

 

[KeeSomething]

BM Forever 2.5
BM, BMR, BM Robin 2

Yeah right.

 

[Smutpeddler]

He also gave 3 stars to The Godfather Part II

...and gave 3 1/2 stars to Star Wars Episode III

...man Ebert's all over the place. I like him a lot, but there's plenty of times when I strongly disagree with him or feel he's way off the mark.

I really don't think his scores are intended to be compared to one another. Maybe within the same franchise at best.

I think the stars rating system could be arbitrary and he has a quota of stars to give throughout the year.

But to interject my opinion, Godfather II is 3.75 stars.

Episode I-III IV and VI are worse than some of my shits.

 

[KeeSomething]

Why's he running, Dad?

Because he's not the critique we deserve or want right now.

 

[shira]

Yeah right.

Those aren't my scores, those are eberts

I'm trying to think of a quote from a Batman movie to twist around, but I'm not clever.

Also, the thread has been crazy today. I look forward to the weekend when we get to the darkest of the night.

Roger Ebert, Master KeeSomething, has sheltered six generations of your family.

 

[kswiston]

Ebert's Godfather 2 review is almost 40 years old. Some of our film opinions will look pretty silly 30-40 years from now as well. Also, it's not like he panned the movie. Someone actually gave the film a 2/5 on RT.

EDIT: Episode 3 was also bad. I can't think of many 80%+ RT movies that I question what reviewers saw in the film than that one. Maybe the Host. I like Korean cinema, but I honestly don't see what critics saw in that film either.

Why do you care? It's not your damn nostalgia.

Old Bruce looks borderline gaunt to me:

Quoting cause it really made me laugh.

Watching Batman Begins makes you realize what a shit actress Katie Holmes is. The part where Batman reveals himself to Rachel Dawes by repeating that "It's not who I am underneath" line on the rooftop, Katie Holmes expresses as much shock as finding out that sky is blue.

I think when she first meets Batman on the subway was just bizzare. Ok I just survived a potential murder/rape and now a bat man is talking to me.

The worst is when he's got her in the batmobile and he's sitting there decked out in full Bat-gear going "Stay calm, you've been sprayed by a hallucinogen"

Why? He's trying to keep her calm and make sure she doesn't have a fucking heart attack. All the more reason to do so since he's dressed like a fucking lunatic.

RAAACHELLLL!!!!!!!

Between this and your input on the Seinfeld thread, I think you just stop stating your opinions on anything. It's for the best.

We have different opinions! That is a brand new occurrence in an internet forum.

I think you'd find many people that agrees with me.

It was filmed in superior 2D YO!

I just always imagine the thoughts going through her head when she sees a guy in a full on bat suit going "you're hallucinating"

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

3D version is the only way to go. Don't see it at any cinema that isn't showing the 3D version. It's worth hunting it down.

Where the fuck do you guys with 10.5 hrs live?!

Australia.

We shall see whether or not the Avengers can continue to hold the monopoly on this summer's best movie. So far, the competition has been anemic at best.

Only because John Carter came out in March.

If I hop on a plane to Australia I can probably make it there for the first showing.

What about LIEMAX vs normal 2D?

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Well, BatGAF. Tomorrow morning I'm heading out on vacation (where I'll be watching TDKR), and I'll be away from my PC during that duration. I won't be back here until next week, long after the insanity dwindles. So it looks like this is it for now. Catch you guys in the reboot thread.

We'll always have our gifs.

Spoiler

I may just post on my phone anyway. But I can't make gifs on the phone, so what's the point?
