GTAIV is what I do between the commitments.



I beg to differ. Because of them the movie never reaches a satisfying high. It prevents it from reaching greatness and thus is relegated to a 'mere' good movie. Superman: The Movie didn't have much action either, but what action it had was done superbly.

I like Nolan's Bruce Wayne character (or more likely Bale's take on the character) and I enjoyed the origin story. However, I do not like the reinvention of Batman as some ninja warrior (its lame), his rubbish looking Bat-Tank and I'm not too fond of the generic looking Gotham, though to be fair it was always going to be nigh impossible to match Tim Burton's awe inspiring vision. Nolan's Batman is objectively a better movie than Burton's, but I admittedly enjoy watching the Burton films more (which also have two awesome Elfman scores compared to the shit Zimmer cooked up for Nolan's). I'd call it a 7/10 (genre relative), down from 8.5/10 on my first viewing.

Burga - who didn't find the Dark Knight trailer to be terribly exciting honestly, but then again also thought the same about Batman Begins' ad.

And a good score.

Obviously you don't remember much about Superman: The Movie, or even Superman II for that matter. Heck, Superman Returns wasn't 'happy' either, and got way too heavy in the end. And regarding the bolded portion of the quote, how are his powers not 'happy'? lol.

Burga - who watched Lost in Translation, Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 in the last 24 hours.

Luthor is pure evil dude...don't judge the character on just the Hackman take. . But even if you do that, in the Reeve universe, there is the hardcore-st supehero film baddie ever, General Zod!!! Played to perfection by Terence Stamp no less

Its still the only superhero movie anywhere close to the first one.

He looks great fun to watch, not exactly scary or disturbing though..at least from the trailers. There will always be some morbid fascination to his performance, and I predict that the performance however good it might be will be overrated by the general public simply because he is dead.
