The Dark Knight Rises

Except the shots that were straight up of Manhattan? Like Freedom Tower and all which as far as I could tell at the time looked exactly like the Manhattan I was in a month ago? The whole end of the movie took place in New York for me. Maybe I wasn't feeling like that in the early going I can't say but once it started it was pretty ruinous to my enjoyment.

The Matrix is like that for me. Imaginary city inside a computer! No, I work in that building over there.

I think you missed the point of The Matrix.

Which is why the voice in the actual film fucks me off so much.  It's hilariously cheery.

That's what I liked about it.

I didn't mind the voice so much as not being able to see his mouth.

Not really sure why they felt the need to carry over the face mask.

Without the face mask it could have been anyone.

I guess so, I mean, I hate it when a film has a character in civilian clothes with no costume gimmick. Because it means there is literally no way to tell characters apart or to make an association between a character and how they look.

Necro!

Finally got around to watching this. I liked a lot of it, but it was definitely the worst of the 3 Nolan Batman films. Anne Hathaway and JGL were the highlights for sure. How can a 2:45 movie still seem like it is rushed? Really felt like it skipped around all over the place and was hard to follow exactly. I basically gave up and just waited for Batman to beat the hell out of some people.

Also glad to see that most of you feel at least a glimmer of the supernova of hate I have for Tim Burton. God what an overrated hack. I sort of liked his first Batman at the time, but I was young and dumb and had never seen a decent superhero movie (well, I guess Reeves' Superman flicks were ok), so I thought it was much better than it actually was. It is downright PAINFUL to watch now. And that was the best of the entire run! Thankfully I have forgotten most of the rest of them almost completely.

Tim Burton is not overrated as long as he sticks to the things he should. Unfortunately he does not stick to those things.

Ed Wood is, and always will be, one of the best movies ever made.
