Not only a GDT movie but a GDT movie with giant robots fighting giant monsters AND with Idris Elba! Can't ask for more
Tonally it was a huge improvement over the Raimi films, I would like to see a Directors cut though. I think most of that movie ended up on the cutting room floor at the request/insistence of the studio.
Yeah, I see that the Strike Backers are passionately expressing in droves. Sorry that they are being a pack of weenies.
BUT, everyone knows that The Amazing Spider-Man is much debated actually. Therefore yes, some hate the film (myself included). Others love the film. Just understand, there are about 47% of Schmoes that you're never going to convince. . . . . JK, JK.
Strikebackers are actually being pretty cool - disagreeing but stating their reasons why. It's much worse some other weeks.
Thank you Gentlemen. If my brother and Moreno haven't banned me, I may return some day soon.
Heh heh .. let's just say the ambiguity of the whole thing can satisfy both camps. It really is Inception all over again though, isn't it?
see I actually think it would've been a better ending if it had been more quick-cut-to-black like Inception's ending instead of what they did. I mean just have the scene with Alfred sitting down at the cafe... then have him look up, camera on him the whole time, then have him nod and begin to smile then cut to black. I think that would've been better but hey, I didn't make the movie haha
I see it as him being alive because it's a similar ending to The Dark Knight Returns, which was a major influence on this movie where Bruce Wayne fakes his death and literally goes underground in the cave to train an army of Batmen from former gang members. He doesn't stay around to train them in the movie, opting for a normal life instead, but Wayne Manor becomes home to a bunch of orphans and Blake finds the cave. So you could assume Blake ends up as the next Batman, and hand picks orphans to train that have violence in their past like he and Wayne did to keep the legacy alive.
I also didn't expect to tear up during the movie, I have never been a huge fan of Batman but Nolan made him so much more than just a comic book hero. Nolan's Dark Knight was about a man on a journey, being a hero was just part of that journey, he made it reach the realm of epic storytelling and not just a comic book film. I sincerely hope he is rewarded for this trilogy with more than just fan praise.
I am a "Top Ten Spot" junkie myself and of course I loved this one very much. Great family you are.... The Laws!
It's not about the big picture anymore. It's about getting a quick return on their investment, now. It's a damn shame this aversion to he R rating is so rampant.
Sadly, quality of product alone doesn't sell a film anymore, and that's what studios are largely concerned with.
Neither was Avatar's.
I don't hate Avatar. It had amazing special effects. Just abysmal everything else.
I took my dad and my mom to this movie each on their own (they've been divorced forever) and I think this movie has just as much appeal as Avatar because both enjoyed it thoroughly. Disney's behind it, which obviously added a large built-in fanbase, but this film has a fun factor that is much more self-evident from the trailers than it was in the Avatar promotions. I don't think Avengers is going to have too tough a time dethroning Avatar.

What? He said it. Look it up!
I'm glad Meryl Streep won, but at the same time, I'm mad at her for possibly ruining my chances in the contest.
Think of it this way man, it screwed us all.. so the playing field hasa been leveled.
People will always bitch and moan about something. They could be in Disney World, getting a BJ from Olivia Wilde dressed as Snow White while eating buffalo wings out of her nacho sombrero, and still bitch about there being not enough bleu cheese chunks in their dipping sauce.
