Dunno if it was a huge spoiler, since most of us suspected it, but (if you're curious; don't worry, nothing major) Marion Cotillard is playing Talia ah Ghul after all.

Wojo 2,453 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I had suspected as much all along. No biggie. I know too much already.I liked the one comment on Facebook that said the biggest unbelievable part of the story would be that Hines Ward could return a kickoff for a touchdown in whatever year the movie is meant to take place.

Horrible.Without getting into any spoilers at all, how was Anne Hathaway in the film? Was her acting good, and does she get to be sexy? I find most of Nolan's films lack any real sexiness.She was great! I really liked Anne Hathaway in this film. But I felt she could have been used better, just like Bane. These acting talents aren't utilized as well as they could have been.And yes, Nolan does try to add sexiness in this film, to a certain degree.Oh and on another note, I just came up with the word to describe a lot of the film (besides its logical fallacies, disappointing execution, etc). It's underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's weird, for TDK tragedy probably boosted BO earnings (heath Ledger's death), whereas for TDKR tragedy will probably hurt it. There's some bad mojo around these movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Despite having (most likely) the best midnight showing, TDKR is expected to gross at least 165 million for the whole weekend.

indy4 155 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Even if you only account for tickets sold (and thus get rid of the 3D/2D advantage that Avengers had), Avengers still wins by about 6 million tickets.http://boxofficemojo.com/alltime/weekends/?adjust_yr=1&p=.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,999 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Christopher Nolan's films usually have long legs as people tend to see them several times. Like me. I've watched it three times already and there will be more.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It's a strong movie. The opposite of the wise cracking, "it's just a movie guys" Marvel products. However, I'm not sure it's an Alexcremers movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,999 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 A response is divided. The film is huge no one can question its broad and bold intentions, for a mega-blockbuster at least. But no, it isn't nearly as impressive. Almost 3 hours in length, reeeeeeeaaaaaaally heavy on plot. Don't get me wrong it all makes sense, just feels sometimes a bit too much. I like it for what it is. It's a strong conclusion. Oh and there isn't a lot of Batman in it.But visually it is much more impressive than the previous one.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The action direction is stronger and the "white" cinematography very cool. Visually it feels bigger and more spectacular, but at the same time quite tight, avoiding random excess.

crocodile 7,999 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I never felt a lack of the Batman.It's not like I did. The story as conceived makes perfect sense and i would dare anyone to find a more decent conclusion to themes and plot of the trilogy. But the regular audience member wants super-heroics. Not epic tragedies. And from that perspective, it is not a Batman film.In that case, there's no need to change my signature.No, it still fits perfectly.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
