Guest Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Update.Go two Batman's down lastnight! Now I'm ready to see the newest one (in a few weeks). Wow, crazy how young Bale looked in Begins..And how Katie Holmes looked so young too!I woke up this morning on a funny dream - Liam Neeson was fighting Christian Bale on the ice (like on Begins) except that the swords were lightsabers and Liam was QuiGon Jin and Christian Bale was a Sith Lord and in the end before I woke up, Bale said - hey, I'm supposed to be the good guy. So they stop fighting. Started my Monday on a fun note. Quote

Guest Posted July 23, 2012 Report Posted July 23, 2012 Katie has always looked young. I still remember her from Dawson's Creek.. .. ..I haven't seen her in any movie lately, but I see her face a lot on the cover of magazines by the grocery cashier usually with the word Divorce under it... she looks a lot older now.

LolRecently, I got stopped before entering the public pool by the guy at the entrance. I was holding my daughter and he still asked me, "Are you older than 15? You must be 15 or older to enter the pool area alone." My husband was a few paces behind us and just cracked up laughing. The funnier thing, is that the guy that asked, appeared to be no older than 17 or 18 years old himself! LOL I've been questioned before about my age but usually it's whether I'm 21.. .. Quote
pam Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 So, I guess what I'm saying is - I'm fine with you taking it as rude and condescending unless of course the majority finds the way I express myself rude and condescending. Well from the number of comments I get from others via pm's and on facebook, many think you come off as rude and condescending. Quote

Eleven Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) A lot of my friends absolutely loved the movie, i did as well. Honestly, I believe if i saw The Dark Knight Just before Rises, i still would have loved the third movie. Reason being, i stood in awe when i saw Batman Begins... SO MUCH progression in the characters.. they make batman so real.. so human.. it was captivating, especially since batman has always been my childhood favorite. Some of the things i absolutely loved about this series and the third movie is how believable the story is. Bane isnt just some "hulk" figure that got his hulk body from Venom in Spiderman (i believe that's where he got it), but either way he doesnt have this freakishy huge body with a zipper for a mouth. The Use of catwomans goggles as the trademark "cat ears" for her costume instead of sticking cutesy costume ears on is a small detail... just different things like that. Lots of points in the movies, i didnt feel like i was watching another marvel movie. Loved the story, loved everything. Things i didnt like The biggest complaint Ive heard about the movie is Banes Voice, and how hard it was to interpret what he was saying. I agree, though it didnt bother me, i was so into the movie and what was going on. Other things like daughter of the guy who led the League of Shadows, how she dies... her AND Gordon were in that truck.. the truck fell and somehow she tragically dies slow and painful.. and Gordon skips out of the back of the truck a little woozy? Also, how does batman come back from an atom bomb? Is the movie implying he survived it, or implying at some point he mysteriously got away from it just like he disappears on Gordon on the tower so many times? Some others of my friends said it was lame that Nolan brought back a lot of the same characters he used in inception.. I didnt mind it though Last thing that surprised me.. Anne Hathaway. She stikes me too much as the cute best friend of some lead actor in any chick flick.. Im trying to say this correctly, but catwoman is supposed to be menacing, seductive, all that kind of jazz. (and no people, i wasnt hoping i would be seduced lol. Im just talking about accuracy of the portrayal of the character) and believe it or not I believe she did an amazing job. Catwoman wasnt at all seductive without reason, which would have been cheesy, and they actually made her a bit of a robin hood, though at heart she still was a thief. I still give the movie a 10 out of 10. Edited July 24, 2012 by Eleven details of characters deaths Quote
pam Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Can you believe I've never seen even one Batman movie? Quote
Vort Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Can you believe I've never seen even one Batman movie?Holy deprivation, Batman! Can Pam continue to function as a relevant and sentient human being without the prerequisite cultural touchstone provided by the Batman movies?! Quote
applepansy Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Can you believe I've never seen even one Batman movie?IMHO ( ) You didn't miss much! Quote
pam Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 I didn't think so. I've been able to have a full life without seeing them. :) Quote

Guest Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 I'm sure I'll have a full life without seeing a single movie. But then Batman is awesome, so I go watch it. Bini... Diary of a Wimpy Kid comes out next week. Quote

HoosierGuy Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Was wanting to see it but don't think I can after the shooting. Too depressing. Quote
Backroads Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Can you believe I've never seen even one Batman movie?I saw "The Dark Knight" and I think I've seen bits and pieces of "Batman Begins" as well as snippets of older Batman films.Honestly, someone will have to invite me in order to see this one. I'd happily go, but I don't see myself making the effort. Quote
unixknight Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Just saw Batman yesterday and liked it very much. I enjoy the multiple layers Christopher Nolan includes in his films because it gives both sides of my brain something to do while I'm watching. The movie was a bit long though, and that last half hour my bladder was quite upset with me...Also, how does batman come back from an atom bomb? Is the movie implying he survived it, or implying at some point he mysteriously got away from it just like he disappears on Gordon on the tower so many times?Remember the little blurb about h ow the auto-pilot had never worked properly on the vehicle? Well at the end, when they're pulling it apart because Fox, distraught, wants to know what he could have done better, they notice that the auto-pilot had been given a software patch some weeks prior, and it had been done by Bruce Wayne. So we conclude that he bailed at some point and let the auto-pilot take the bomb out to sea.Last thing that surprised me.. Anne Hathaway. She stikes me too much as the cute best friend of some lead actor in any chick flick.. Im trying to say this correctly, but catwoman is supposed to be menacing, seductive, all that kind of jazz. (and no people, i wasnt hoping i would be seduced lol. Im just talking about accuracy of the portrayal of the character) and believe it or not I believe she did an amazing job. Catwoman wasnt at all seductive without reason, which would have been cheesy, and they actually made her a bit of a robin hood, though at heart she still was a thief.Yes thankfully she didn't do any of that rolling her 'r's or meowing in every sentence garbage. That would have been incredibly jarring. Quote
Wingnut Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Saw this on Facebook this morning, thought of anatess. Quote
Bini Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Loved that movie. Very cute. Also a big fan of JGL - all grown up now Quote
beefche Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Um, is that from 10 Things I Hate About You? Because I don't think that is the guy that played Robin. Resembles him, but I'm not sure it is him. Quote
Dravin Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Um, is that from 10 Things I Hate About You? Because I don't think that is the guy that played Robin. Resembles him, but I'm not sure it is him.According to IMDB Joseph Gordon-Levitt played the role of Cameron James in 10 Things I Hate About You. Quote
beefche Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 See, I looked on IMDB but didn't see his name. Ok, I stand corrected. Note the history books of this momentous event... Quote
Guest Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 That's an awesome picture. LOL! Gordon-Levitt is another one of those that I have a hard time taking seriously. I knew him from 3rd Rock from the Sun. But I have to say, he was able to overcome it in my mind with Inception. He was cool in 10 Things but that was because he was kinda like a goofball in it. GI Joe was difficult for me to take him seriously. Batman was okay but that was only because I've already gotten over it back in Inception... You know, the guy that I would think I'll have a really hard time taking seriously is Will Smith! I mean, I can sing the entire Fresh Prince intro rap. LOL. But, surprisingly, he convinced me right off the bat in the big screen. Quote
