Spartacus Mars Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Nah, Nolan likes overly convoluted plots where as Bay doesn't even attempt to have a plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 In Nolan's case you're confusing "exposition to tense music" with "plot". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Monkey Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) Saw Dark Knight Rises last night at the IMAX. Thought it was really good. I'm not going to analyse it too much, I'm already weary of the opinions. I'll go by my gut reaction and the feeling of people in the cinema, which was general enjoyment. The only thing I'm gutted about now is that all we get now is a reboot. Edited July 25, 2012 by Purple Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Stud Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 As long as the reboot has Joseph Gordon Levit as Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 There's no reboot or at least for a while, Warner Bros are now trying to rush a Justice League movie into production because of how well Avengers did and now that Harry Potter has finished they need a new yearly franchise release with the DC back catalogue being it. Although both Anne Hathaway & Nolan have both been saying that a Catwoman movie (set in The Dark Knight Rises world) should be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 They gave the impression that Selina found her peace at last by vanishing with Bruce. A Catwoman movie would seem so cynical and forced now. To carry on would be as redundant and as pointless as the Men in Black or Matrix sequels. The story is over.

Purple Monkey Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Just realised something about TDKR..... That pit, prison thingy - that's the Lazarus Pit. People go in broken, come out reborn, changed, stronger. Nicely re-imagined supernatural element there.

jump Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 The cast of Machete 2 is insane, it has Mel Gibson, Lady Gaga, Charlie Sheen, Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba and Lindsey Lohan. I would love to see how that lot interact with each other during filming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus Gwertigan Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Sounds like they've gone for a load of novelty actors, (fuck ups basically) in the hope of attracting celeb worshippers to see the film. Charlie Sheen in particular. Fucking awful actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the film but it really lacks a few "wtf" moments like the last one, there's nothing to match the truck flip or the magic trick and even things like the Bat & the Bane fight were just ok even though they could/should of been brilliant.
