Six year bump

 

Is that a prequel film to the Seven Year Itch?

 

I really like Batman Returns, Hellboy, Spider-Man 2, Superman: The Movie, and The Hulk and...that's about it. All of these movies have a very human core to them, a certain life behind the eyes that shows people who had something to say with these characters.

I really have very limited interest in superhero things these days, but I used to enjoy them as a kid. That being said, one of the first episodes I did on Celluloid Tunes was about superhero scores. You won't understand anything in the podcast itself, but you can click the playlist to see what some of my favourite superhero scores are:

Sums up the worst catastrophes in this genre.

 

Very good movies of that genre:

Iron Man

X-Men: First Class

Spiderman 2

The Dark Knight

Ant-Man

The Dark Knight

Sin City

Batman Returns

The Dark Knight Rises

X-Men 2

Marvel: The Avengers

Iron Man 3

 

Overestimated:

Spiderman - second film is much better

Batman Begins - second film is much much better

Superman: The Movie - second film is better

Batman - second film is much better

X-Men - second film is much better

Probably.

No.

Absolutely not.

Both are overrated.

[Naïve Old Fart 13,020]

Has anybody mentioned CONSTANTINE, yet? I like that one.

I'm also rather partial FLASH GORDON.

The only part of his post I didn't like.

I agree with Nick. The best Nolan batflick was Begins. I like its straightforwardness as an origin story, as opposed to the convoluted juggling act that is The Dark Knight.

For me, Begins is a much better film then most give it credit for.  

But The Dark Knight is still superior.  Of course it is convoluted: it is trying to say that humans are convoluted, yet not without hope.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

The Dark Knight Rises is the best of the three 

[SteveMc 2,687]

No.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Yes.

[John 2,034]

For me, The Dark Knight doesn't feel nearly as much of a heady crime drama, as it does a lecture on ethics that occasionally cuts back to being a story.

 

It's not horribly botched in the way it handles its philosophical themes, like, say, the Matrix sequels, but it does come off as pretty pretentious. I think this applies to most of Nolan's work, not just here.

 

I feel it's a very flawed film in plenty of other aspects as well.

[Xander Harris 9,673]

At least it has The Joker.

[John 2,034]

It's a brilliant performance, and rightly acclaimed. Probably the strongest aspect of the film.

[Xander Harris 9,673]

You can trace the evolution of his performance to this scene in Lords of Dogtown. About a minute in he almost fully becomes The Joker. He even does the tongue thing.

 

 

[Jill Sandwich 11,165]

Those Baleman movies took themselves too seriously but at least Rises attempted to be more fun and less preachy. Not sure what everyone else seems to love about TDK, I mean it was alright I guess. People might have a lot of nostalgia for 2008 because of hope and change and all that.

[Xander Harris 9,673]

I just liked Joker in that one. TDKR was nearly unwatchable. They just didn't get Batman at all. He would never give up the mission to live in France or whatever.

[SteveMc 2,687]

The Nolan movies needed to be very serious.  Have you forgotten what came before?

[Xander Harris 9,673]

People say that but they're loaded with funny book nonsense like Two-Face at the end of TDK, the nonsense ending of the Joker at the party where no one laughed at the Rachel quip and they somehow escaped the top floor of Bruce Wayne's building, Joker putting a pencil through a guy's head etc.

[SteveMc 2,687]

The performances make those things creepy.

Movies that were ballsy and not needy?

They were more nippley, actually.

[Jill Sandwich 11,165]

Except for Alicia, disappointingly.

[Xander Harris 9,673]

Nipples are what MJ in the Spider-Man movies is for.

 

Bob? Alicia.

[Quintus 6,494]

If I did my list again today it'd lose probably half the entries in my original list, starting with Superman II.
