The Dark Knight Rises

Well. Damn.

Who made that and how long is the line to insert their penis into my mouth.

You like that fan art?

[Adami]

You like that fan art?

It's clever and very well done.

I just watched The Dark Knight again and it reinstated my belief that it is the greatest comic book film of all time. The story is so deep and intense and the script is so well-written that it's almost NOT a comic book film. Good stuff.

Yes, but lots of people liked it, so it's not as good.

I prefer Begins, for the comments I made earlier.

But TDK is still a good film.

I would consider V For Vendetta the best comic book adaptation. The script is a lot better than any Nolan version of Batman, IMO.

V would have been better if it were longer. It had great potential, but was seriously rushed.

[GuineaPig]

It would have been better if it wasn't awful.

It wasn't awful at all. It was just super rushed. It could have been a great trilogy. But as it was, we barely had to care about any characters outside of "hey, that guy is fighting for justice.....and he throws knives, I like him!".

Maybe.  I never read (or had any interest in reading) the comics.  But it seemed to me the plot was confounding and the ideology half-baked.  Might be issues with pacing, I don't know.

It's not perfect, sure. I didn't like the ending.

But the script is pretty damn good, and considerably better than some of the forced dialogue used in TDK.

Almost everything V said was forced. That was the point, he wasn't a person, he was the embodiment of an idea and an ideal. But it was VERY forced. Like the whole speech with V words? Yea, that seemed naturally flowing.

Also, the movie would have been better with Keira Knightly or someone BRITISH and not Natalie Portman doing a bad accent.

It wasn't forced at all. It was poetic. Intelligent. Ridiculous, at times. That was how the film was intended to be, it didn't throw in lines at the last minute, it demonstrated that kind of intelligence/vision from the get-go.

It was a breath of fresh air considering the garbage we're used to seeing today.

And I disagree on NP, too. Her accent wasn't exactly brilliant, but she did a fine job otherwise. She's gorgeous as well.

[Adami]

I know that's how it was supposed to be. And yes it was poetic and intelligent and so forth.

But it wasn't natural. No one talks like that. It's forced, it's overly scripted. I am not saying it's a bad thing by the way, I was FINE with it. But the argument that it was natural but TDK was forced just doesn't work. They're both pretty forced, you just liked one and not the other.

[GuineaPig]

I wouldn't exactly call it intelligent either.  Maybe when you compare it to 300.

[NecessaryPain]

Nah dude, it's about the message. 300 is just plain......pointless.

And Adami, point taken.

300 wasn't pointless. It had a point. A huge point. An 8 inch point that found its ways to the each of the cast memebers rectums.

I'm all for the blue-screen. They can do some pretty cool stuff with that.

Check out Spartacus Blood and Sand if you get the chance. It has the 300-type fighting, but it's actually pretty damn good after the first couple of episodes. I'm looking forward to the second season.

[Adami]

Nah, I didn't care about any of the fighting scenes. If I want a film from that period I'll watch Spartacus. The real one.

[ariich]

Nathalie Portman was great in V, and her accent was... adequate. Keira Knightly is rubbish so definitely shouldn't have been in it!

Honestly, it might look rubbish from the gore scenes, but it's actually quite intelligent when it gets going.

It's not as intelligent as Rome, obviously, but it's definitely more engaging. Check it out.

I only mentioned Knightly cause they're identical twins. But seriously, an actual british actress would have been better.

Now I'm imagining V staring Jessica Hynes as the girl and Dylan Moran as V.

IMAGINE IT!

[GuineaPig]

Imagine a coherent narrative, a plausible setting, and a somewhat sensible ideological message!

V For Vendetta is a great film, soooo deep! I don't like it as much as TDK though. I don't find anything rushed or forced about either films.

It's not deep. "The government has become over controlling and the people have to revolt"

That's pretty much the Tea Party.

It's the minor details that give me that impression though.

Cheers. I just nearly caught pneumonia trying to light some fireworks in the rain.

Well. Watching fireworks being lit, while I held an umbrella feebly over the box.

You're a beacon of inspiration. Like V, but X because X is a more awesome letter.
