True.
The movie overall is good, but it was Ledger's performance that has made people love it. I personally rate Batman Begins more. It is a nice trilogy that combined mainstream popcorn elements with some gripping sequences but as @Guy said, it has kickstarted a cringeworthy stream of superhero nonsense without Nolan's intelligence on when to let it become lame and OTT.
My view is the same as yours Heath Ledger was incredible in TDK but other than that its just a good movie not one of the greatest movies of all time as some people make it sound like. Also Rises was crap, like I dont think its a good movie at all.
Ok this is just silly. Its a great film, I think its pretty rated pretty spot on generally.
Its 4th of imdb's top 250 movies ever and many people consider it among the best movies of all time. I disagree with this totally but still I think its a good movie just not an earth shattering one.
Rises was quite hyped before it's release, but it was one of those rare cares where the hype pushed up its perception rather than resulted in disappointment.
That's how I feel about all of Nolan's movies. I come out of each and every one thinking "hell yeah" but on closer inspection, realise that they're just elevated popcorn movies, a step or two above Independence Day. He's invariably talked about as a great director, but there's very little that's memorable about any of his movies (in terms of the director's hand). He does everything with confidence and aplomb and there is no denying his films are a good watch (considering they're all about 9 hours long) but whereas I can quite easily pinpoint great moments and scenes from my favourite movies and really admire the abilities of their directors ... I can't say that about Nolan.
Just had my daily moment of retardation. Sat for about 30 seconds wondering why John Arne Riise was being discussed in this thread.
Ah
Thank you.. Now I understand..Good performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, but so unashamedly clichéd it actually annoyed me at times.
I enjoyed Prisoners but the latter two were very tedious. Jessica Chastain was phenomenal, apparently...
Same here.Forgot about Argo, very overrated.
Phenomenal my ass.
I really don't even care that much for acting performances, I take it for granted with big moviestars but the movie itself was just not exciting at all.Someone ban this man.
Same, hands down the most overrated film of all time.
are you Tyler?
Aren't we all?
Literally everything in the film had been done before, and to a higher standard. Don't forget 50 Cent's performance, almost every line of his would require subtitles to get the whole sentence.
Yeah
You can't judge a film you haven't finished watching.
You can if its so boring and stupid that you turn it off
I fail to see how gone girl is boring, I enjoyed every minute of it.
Have to agree on this. It's a good movie but not God tier some people make it to be.
No there isn't and he's admitted it. The B movie method is derived straight from cheesy tamil action flicks - namely Aalavandhan.
That 'twist' was fresh 20 years ago. In movie it was also frequently alluded. It's certainly not the point of the movie.
