filmsonwax 0 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Nathan Fillion is average at best, a guy whose name is consistently brought up by Whedon fans for every nerd property solely because he played a rip-off of Han Solo in Firefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I've only ever watched Firefly from Whedon's TV and base all my appreciation of Fillion on his Captain Mal.

leeallen01 2,133 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Kyle Chandler has always had that 'Classic Hollywood' vibe. He can play any era. King Kong he pulled-off the 30's actor, in Super 8 he matched the 70's feel. And he's good in present day. I don't know about Indy, but he would definitely excel in an Indy film.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Some of the Clooney Bruce Wayne scenes weren't half bad. He kinda pulled off this older semi-retired version of the character pretty well. In my opinion, better than a bearded limping Christian Bale, however long after The Dark Knight that was supposed to take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The third one is the most heinous, when all of a sudden, Gotham City changes from what seems like a coastal city to a deep inland city with three rivers just because they need a football stadium. And during the final chase sequence, the number of times they recycle shots down the same city streets is very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I actually never had the impression it was a coastal city. Thought of it as something like Pittsburgh, or, well, Chicago. Near a bay or series of rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I would consider Chicago to be a coastal city, ie you can go pretty far out from the dock area and still see water. Like New York, where its coastline is wide rivers that turn into bay before ocean. Chicago just happens to be on a giant freshwater lake. I realize that BB Gotham has rivers because that's where their narrows is located when the inmates escape and Batman saves Joffrey. But using Pittsburgh for the new Gotham footage betrays all previous skylines by showing fewer skyscrapers, less urban buildup (it's a small city), and narrow rivers you can swim across.

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Of course, because the Batwing hauls the nuke out to sea. Except that's not possible when you use Pittsburgh as part of your Gotham. Took me right out of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Well, the fact that "Wayne Manor" is about 20 miles from where I live took me out of the movie (Not to mention the fact it has been rebuilt as an old building? What?). Guess you can't avoid stuff like that. But that's what you get with real life locations.Karo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The original Matrix script actually made it quite clear it was supposed to be Chicago (probably because the Wachowski's are from there), but that was changed to a nondescript location when they decided to film in Sydney. I think it works better this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
