Saw batman last night. Thought it was great. Had basically avoided reading anything about the movie since I figured I was going to watch it anyways. Had no idea anne hathaway or marion cotillard were in it and wouldn't have even known that Bane was the villian if not for people postings pics of Romney with a Bane mask and people posting pictures of his leather jacket on SF.
Screw the nolan-haters...
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)Seriously though...whats up with all of the nolan haters?
These are summer blockbuster movies about a man in a cape. He made them fun and awesome.
Sure, he recovers from catastrophic injuries in 90 days of prison time. Sure, it doesn't make sense why in a sea of cops, someone doesn't just shoot Bane (and this movie really glosses over why Bane is strong and scary).
Sure, its not all that deep. But it was still very good--an engaging and exciting take on a comic book
Would you rather he gave up and we were left with such fantastic films as Transformers 3 or Spiderman 3? (Oh wait, spiderman 3 wasn't enough so they had to go back for more). Nolan's given us an action movie trilogy that doesn't fall apart by the end and generates better discussion than "oh cool, explosions"
