Last Movie you watched?

I am really coming under fire for my opinions on Tim Burton's Batman. I shall try and justify myself:

I love Batman. I have loved Batman (the character) ever since I was a child. That being said, I am a film guy. I will not accept blockbuster crap. I am a film fan first, comic book man second. I am not totally oblivious to comics. I read graphic novels as I can keep up with them, just not the weekly comics. I know the Batman character and the villains. I know how it all works. I did see all of the original Batman movies when I was young, but since forgot about them. When Batman Begins came out in 2005, I became fascinated with Nolan's take on the character; a realistic version of a hero that tends to be used in unrealistic ways. And after seeing The Dark Knight, it made me fully believe that there is no other way that the character should be portrayed. It was only recently when I saw Burton's Batman sitting around in the Blu-ray aisle of Tesco for £2, I thought I might as well buy it and give it a go.

I am also one of those people that, one minor, minor hiccup can completely change my view on a film. And it tends to be the things of an unrealistic nature that enhance this. Now, after having Christopher Nolan's versions of the Batman story, in my mind, already the absolute perfect vision of the character, I went into this with doubt. It was actually a lot worse than I expected. For a start, it just went into the film with hardly any explanation as to why Bruce was doing what he was doing (this partially gets revealed later on in the film). Nicholson was fine as the Joker, but I refuse to believe that The Joker character can be played better by anyone, in any film after Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. The film also seemed very rushed. And the ending was poor.

And Keaton being the best Batman has to be a joke. He hardly spoke (and when he did, it was just mumbles), he showed no emotion and generally sucked. Bale's Batman all the way. I hope this is a satisfactory explanation and this is all, of course, just my opinion, and I will respect the opinions of anyone, no matter what they think.

Glad you enjoyed it. I am very pleased that my review (quite awhile I posted that, aswell) has got people into watching it. Really is a tremendous film, and one of the years best.


My last:

Super 8 - 4.5/5

Been itching to see this for ages, but Paramount UK being Paramount UK, decided they would not release it in the UK until over a month since it was theatrically released in the US.

Simply incredible. Like a ed up hybrid of Stand By Me and Cloverfield. Elle Fanning was great (as she always is), as were all the other kids. My only complaint is that, the kids should have had more screentime. Other than that, quite clearly the film of the summer, and one of the years best.

The social network

Last movie watched was Thor. I really dug it, can't wait to see Captain America if I ever make it to the theater to see it.

Iron man 2

yeah I taped it off Sky Movies the other night man.their current rotation has some good stuff on there

my last were

Unstoppable-very enjoyable
Unknown-not as good as Taken but worth the watch
RED-again very enjoyable in places.

I last saw Crazy, Stupid, Love.

I liked it a lot. I thought it was great and most of the actors I enjoy. The twist ending was pretty good too I wasn't thinking of that..

I would give the film an 85/100.

Yea what?

Damn, that would have been sick, I really love the film, but it seems to be the odd one out when it comes to the Avengers, I really think we should have gotten a mention of it in Cap.

It was pretty good.
