I agree with Res. I came out of the theater feeling pretty meh about it. I need to watch Batman Begins again...but I think it might be the worst one of the three..

Begins really is a love or hate movie. Either your gripped by it's buildup or you fell asleep in the first hour.
Nailed it.

No, it's more like you hit a chick a couple of times, she calls you months later wanting to meet up at a bar later that evening. You get all ready, about to leave your crib and he calls saying she has to postpone. A few months later she calls you again, wanting to meet at a bar, cancels again. Even more months pass and she calls, wanting to meet at that same bar, you refuse because you think she will stand you up, but then she sends you nekkid pics of her and her female friend having a good time. You get all hyped, run out the house, stop at the drug store and pick up some condoms and right before you get into the bar, she calls saying she has to postpone again.
Not really. Because it doesnt force feed you answers to everything that goes on doesnt mean it is a plot hole. Dialogue is about on par for what the other films did. It has a few leaps of logic, and some holes, yes. But this is a great film. TDK isnt as great as people like to remember. It had about the same amount of holes as TDKR and suffers from a worse third act only redeemed by Gordon's words at the end. Batman Begins has the best first half and TDKR has the best ending. Which is fitting because thats their places in the trilogy.

Yea I kind of vaguely remember this, maybe I should rewatch it...
For the first half of the film, it is the greatest comic book movie out. It hits a wall shortly after he fully becomes The Goddamn Batman.
Did we watch the same movie? I think the numbers show otherwise (Hawkeye has the least time I believe), but coming out of the theatre it seemed like Thor was the least developed of all the characters in the movie.
the whole movie villain and story rely on the thor universe. which blows.
Yeah seriously...
That's true I guess, which I didn't like. But his character wasn't a main focus.

4srs.
dat buildup, and then you're just like ehhhhh. tdkr also had the best imagery of the series to me as well, although I found the movie to be a little.... 1% centric in a creepy way
Loki is just too.... fruity and sidecharactery to find threatening.only threatening aspect of him is his metaphysicality
Loki was the worst part about both movies for me.
Exactly, its like a chick gives you the best blow job of your life, to only start giving you the worst hand job of your life minutes before you come. You dont care that much at the time because, shit, a hot female is still touching your dick. But afterwards, your like" Damn, that could of been a lot better towards the end".
I loved his motivations. It worked for me very well.

TDKR was solid, but I definitely wasn't feeling it like TDK. Something was missing, and I don't feel like rewatching it the way I did TDK 3 times in the first month
The Amazing Spider-Man was boring, Spider-Man had no personality, the score was mediocre, they took his mask off too much, and mehhhhhhhhh @ all the action except
Prometheus was beautiful but ultimately very flawed. Script and character issues errwhere.
The Avengers was very fun. The story was nothing special, but the character interaction, and ultimately the battle at the end were handled better than I thought they'd be. Whedon shut the haters up (maybe....probably not)
Rest of 2012 is might blow away these movies though. The Hobbit, Skyfall, Killing Them Softly, Django Unchained, and whatever else I'm forgetting.

The only one I can see beating TDKR for me is Djanjo. After QoS, I have no hype for a Bond film, and I am tired of Peter Jackson's version of Middle Earth.
Also, Cloud Atlas could be fucking incredible, or dog shit. The Wachowskis either hit a home run, or miss completely.
plehboi
I can't watch anything Birdman without ending up in tears from the laughter. Dude is such a character, I hope he never leaves hip-hop.

There's literally NO WAY Skyfall can be worse that QoS. Not possible. Roger freakin' Deakins on cinematography ensures that, alone. Haven't watched anything from Cloud Atlas as a 6 minute trailer is way too much IMO, but we'll see.
There's also Lawless (John Hillcoat), The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson), Looper (Rian Johnson), Argo (Ben Affleck), Seven Psychopaths (Martin McDonagh), and Lincoln (Spielberg, DANIEL DAY LEWIS) that have the potential to be great, among others.
Maybe even Flight if we get "Good Zemeckis" again.
Looper could be good. I am looking forward to The Master too. I have no faith in Spielberg but I love DDL, so who knows. Also, "Good Zemeckis" is lol worthy.
Oh god enzo...
I love Neeson, but Taken 2 has to be one of the most unnecessary sequels of all times.

Can't wait till Taken 3 where Liam Neeson rescues himself.
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let me go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you......because I'm the one that got Taken'd this time."

By the looks of Skyfall I think they realized their mistakes in QoS. I loved casino royal alot tho.
This is true, but if they transition it into a cheesy, no-sense made action series like Transporter but with Liam fucking Neeson, I ain't even mad.

Takened 4: Someone Else Just Got Stoled
-------------------------
Are any of Method Man's other solo albums good?
Is that a surprise? That has been a guaranteed trilogy since the first one made illegal amounts of money. I wonder if they will find a way for Doug to not be in 90% of the movie like the last two.
QoS is one of the worst movies ive ever seen. I literally tried to watch it like 3 times and my brain kept like shutting off at some point every time. I just dont think my subconscious cares about the outcome of the movie. Like my own mind is telling me "this is just shit, theyre saying some shit about oil but who cares. God even the car scenes are boring".
Also Birdman is a nice guy, im
at him taking a pic with them junior high kids
also taken 2 is necesary. any opportunity to watch liam neeson torture someones balls with a switch breaker is necessary. pause

The bond girl in QoS was the saving grace of the film
slightly nsfw
Yea the movie was a disaster. It's fucked up cause it looked like a disaster since the first trailer.
Seconded. Despised the movie, but cotdamn.
On the otherhand, Casino Royale... one of my favs ever.

some of these opinions need adjusting
dude if that was all you wouldnt've had to say 12 things afterwards
the spoilered bit everyone else addressed (i wasnt expecting nolan to feel compelled to be faithful) but honestly? bane was fun and healed the wounds of his last cinematic role but what the fuck was that accent supposed to be?
everytime he and silly-voice batman were talking to each other, it was supposed to be awesome but was still kinda funny. in a perfect world, bale's voice woudlve been magically replaced by Kevin Conroy, and Bane wouldve...i dont know, been voiced by someone who didnt feel they were inventing an eastern european dialect + helium.
none of that could touch Ledger, dead or alive.
as a marvel fan, this opinion is straight scusting.
avengers didnt really have a story so much as chained together awesome, but IM2 was a fun ride that went to the most anticlimactic finale since contact.
I could give a fuck about a hobbit, Taken 2 might be fun cause Micheal Collins is the man, and damn i remember thinking QoS was no Casino Royale but i dont remember hating it nearly as much as ya'll...then again most of the Brosnan films put mky bar as a bond fan so low that the Bourne movies felt like a distant relative of Flemming saying "yo i am so sorry for like the last decade".
Django should be great, Man with the Iron Fist will SLAY because your favs cant
