Matt C 455 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Batman Returns is a brilliant movieWait... what? I've seen this movie several times -- and while it has several terrific scenes, the movie is just ridiculous. Michelle Pfeiffer was a great, if more deranged Catwoman than in the comics -- but even she fell victim to the ridiculous plot at times.If I have to choose between Burton's Batman films, I prefer the first one. It reeked of studio interference, but I thought it embodied the character and universe well in places. Batman Returns was a completely different movie, and not the good kind. It felt like a Tim Burton film with Batman characters in it, as opposed to a Batman universe interpreted by Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm totally intrigued. I wonder what's Catwoman's "role" in the whole thing. Or what is it that Bane is trying to do.It's interesting how much they focus on the stadium scene as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demondm810 399 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Anyone else see the prologue? Saw it in an IMAX theatre today, I think I made out 3 words that Bane said. Is this definitely his final voice? I really liked the way it sounded, but couldn't understand it at all. Maybe they still have some tweaking to do on the dialogue recordings.

Red 75 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Very ominous trailer. Strong in a way that a lot of action-packed trailers aren't. It focuses on setting and characters, and almost doesn't feel like a Batman trailer until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I personally felt the trailer was very well conceived and it sure as hell makes me excited for the film. Like Red Rabbit was saying, its not like most trailers for action films. And in that regard, its very intelligently crafted. Love it! Can't wait for this movie!

gkgyver 1,646 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm sure that last thing was completely intentional. As a tribute to all the expressionist silent movie era, it conveys the mood and look of those. The snow gives the film almost a black & white look. The music contributes to that too.That's why I like it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 455 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The stadium scene is a good idea, but the CGI just feels unfinished and tacky. I had no problem discerning Bane's voice (which I think Nolan will fix in ADR sessions).But the highlight is Anne Hathaway. Even in two scenes, she's impressive. Nolan made a solid choice for the new Selina Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I agree, CGI definitely can't be finished at this point. Hathaway seems like a perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0hawk 1 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 TDKR's trailer is quite a different ball game from TDK's first theatrical trailer. TDK focused on what everyone was waiting for: The Joker. They shoved him in our faces, and we swallowed him up whole, and everyone was happy. Glad to see that they didn't do the same with Bane; movie audiences aren't exactly clamouring for him. This trailer gives us more of the "grand picture", and I'm VERY intrigued by what I see. They produced the mysterious vibe quite well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 This does not look as good as the previous two. The most jarring thing about this trailer is the abundance of broad daylight and the lack of Batman himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Bane = buff terrorist in a mask, or will he have origins similar to the comics with the venom stuff and resulting super-strength?

Delorean90 42 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yes, because of the constant pain from whatever happened, he receives a steady dose of anesthetic through the mask, thus making him at least partially impervious to pain.

Or maybe movie theaters need to invest more in making movies understandable for deaf and hard-of-hearing people more than they need to invest in 3D technology.I went to see The Immortals last week and it was the first time in a cinema since I saw Air Force One where the sound was so loud, it was unbearable. Luckily, I had my earplugs with me (I never leave home without them these days), so I could block out the really harsh noise. It's really evidence of a poorly calibrated sound system if it's emitting so much distortion, the more sensitive audience members have to resort to blocking their ears (this is a reason why I avoid night clubs, dance floors and concerts). The 3-D was bad too.As for the accents, have you seen Snatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
