Great film, but one of the rare cases for a comedy franchise where the sequels get better. Make sure you watch A SHOT IN THE DARK, and make sure you don't watch INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU. Wait 'till you get to RETURN; funny as! 1 hour ago, Koray Savas said: Exactly, he's barely in the first film, and A Shot In The Dark amends that wonderfully. The bedroom scene is a brilliant pre-cursor of what's to follow, though. See? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Batman Begins: I enjoyed it the last time I watched it so I thought why not. - It's a simple story for Nolan's doing. - Noticed that there's constantly music. A little too much if you ask me. - Still enjoyable, until the climax, that is. I was slowly but surely falling asleep during the Batmobile on rooftops, Gordon in action, monorail moments. - film is formulaic and does its best to be liked. - I've seen it now.

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Yes. As 99,9% of all the other PAL DVDs have that speed-up, why not these ones? I'd prefer that to the damage they did now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great film BTW, even saw it in the cinemas. I simply noticed that all the typical tricks and ingredients are there. Ingredients that other movies did too well before BB. Indeed, I guess the serious tone is what made this Batman movie different. But it got a lot more serious in TDK. Also, Gotham in BB is still an attempt to create some kind of imaginary city, though a lot more realistic than previous endeavours. In TDK, Gotham City looks exactly like the cities we know. The Fantasy dress up is completely out of the window. In a way, BB forms the bridge between the Fantasy, imaginary approach of the old days and the dead-on realism of later DC movies like MOS. By the way, why do people that say it's the most influential movie ever made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Te difference is, is that in the TDK it looks a lot more "bleak", I guess you could say, which was done deliberately in order to reflect the continue downward collapse of the city's structure, rules, & people.

A24 4,345 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Just to be clear, 'gritty' is a dress-up as well. It does not equal realism. Nolan wanted gritty because he thought of Blade Runner when making BB. With TDK, Nolan was in a Heat mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,349 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Independence Day. I didn't want to watch this film at first because of the simplistic plot and all, but my brother kept telling me I should give it a try and today seemed the perfect opportunity. It's actually not bad at all given the uncomplicated story. I liked how they managed to make me care about nearly all the characters. At the beginning, it was rather difficult to keep track of who was who and I definitely missed the fact that the First Lady was not on the airplane with the President, but other than that, I rather enjoyed it. The score was even better. It's so refreshing to hear a purely orchestral score that will remind me of this film forever, that will probably work perfectly as a stand-alone listening experience and that does more than aimlessly accompanying the film. Very interesting underscore and main themes, and I especially liked the music in the President's speech. Happy independence day, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
