Trent B 337 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Nice to see Nolan is taking his time on the next Batman film. I have a feeling the Spider-Man reboot is gonna bomb especially with it coming out after the Star Trek sequel and before the Batman sequel.Good god do we need another Americanized Godzilla movie? It's bad enough that the first one bombed...despite getting a kick ass score from David Arnold for it. Do we need TWO!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 What, like Jacko's The Lord of the Rings?Yep. There was lots of potentially silly stuff in those movies, but he did it without winking at the camera and providing humour through natural sources, just like another well-loved trilogy.

Ollie 1,069 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Tristar must have ditched the rights.The rights ran out years ago.I'm somewhat optimistic about a new Godzilla, especially with Legendary pictures and WB now involved. Toho has Godzilla on hiatus, in Japan, for now. The only reason D&E got to do their film was because of the success of ID4 and the promise they would bring (Godzilla) in under budget. Sony and Toho were probably desperate to get a picture done before the rights expired, who knows how much was spent on pre-production for Jan Debont's aborted version. D&E had no intention of doing Godzilla correctly, nor did they even seem familiar with the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 We all pretty much already knew that, but it's still good to hear official confirmation from the man himself. I just hope WB doesn't force him to do in 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycket 36 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Apparently they want to shoot it entirely in IMAX and have no interest in 3D. I'm sure whoever does Superman will be forced to do it in 3D, but I'm sure at this point Nolan has earned the right to make the choice for himself.

That would be cause for him to walk, which would hurt the studio far more than it would Nolan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,144 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 At least Nolan confirmed it won't be in 3D and the Riddler won't be making an appearance. Thank god.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I posted about this in the future films thread, but I think this deserves its own.The third Bat-flick will be called THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, the film will not be 3-D, and the villain will not be The Riddler (although it may be Hans Zimmer).Apparently they are also looking for an unknown female for a lead role, which has led some to speculate Catwoman, although I have a feeling it may be Talia Al Ghul.

fommes 154 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Since Batman is still only rising, I hope the composer doesn't award him with a theme yet. A one-and-a-half note motif at the beginning, developing into a two-and-a-half note motif at the end, would surely be appropriate.Perhaps the next film can be called Very Nearly Batman.

Too showy, for me.But let's not get into that again.Ledger's character was over the top, his acting was not. I too can appreciate Eckhart's performance, which was not understated. It was in someways the harder of the two roles because his character's need to be sympathetic and dangerous at the same time. The only performance in the film that is substandard is that of the main character who is upstaged by all the other male cast. Bale's bland "Batman" was the only real weak link in the film.

Ollie 1,069 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Yeah, Bale is the weakest link, although the character of Rachel was somewhat pointless, although it may have been due to the two actresses that played her.The main problem I have with TDK was the too quick resolution of Dent's storyline. Other than that the film was outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 I just find it so difficult to take Bale seriously with that ridiculous OTT Batgrowl. I understand the plot reasons for Wayne doing it, but it doesn't make it any less silly.That said, I did enjoy TDK in the theater very much, but it's still on my "maybe" DVD/Blu list. Batman Begins was overrated, decent for one theater viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,069 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Well if we're are talking about the entire film and not just the actors, the quality of the actual movie makes up for a weak score.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 That is the main difference between the scores for Superman The Movie and The Dark Knight.One made the film better, the other was made better by the film.
