MoS missing 300m will be a good thing! The message would be sent to WB/DC to boot that out of touch hack Goyer.

There's an added element of romance in DM2 which is absent in DM, so if you are into romance, you may check out DM2. But yeah, chances are great you won't be impressed by DM2 if you were meh about DM.

Yeah, just saw DM2 and was slightly disappointed. Too by-the-numbers for my liking, despite being fun. MU was better. Sad to see it fall so bad. Hope it increases.

The Heat is a beast!

Truer words couldn't be spoken. This summer is going perfectly according to my tastes so far! Love it.

You cannot blame OS as many countries end up with ONLY 3D prints! Or with very few 2D showings of movies also available in 3D. There is really no choice. It is either watch the movie in despicable 3D or wait for BluRay/TV/Torrent.

Lol neither do 99% of 3D films. Why single out superhero films? Stupid Cameron. Doesn't help that he is responsible for this pain in the ass trend in the first place.

Whoa, look at that Heat number. Sandra B. is still such a glorious BO champ!

Er, except for it being a plodding mess, "the class wars" plotline instigated by Bane completely pushed aside and abandoned for a generic and gimmicky "Stop the bomb from exploding!" climax, lame Shyamalan-esque "Talia" twist, the "pit with the most dangerous criminals on the face of the Earth" having only caring healers nursing Bruce back to health and encouraging and wholly supporting him to escape, weak Catwoman characterization (well, weak compared to Batman Returns characterisation anyway) and a lethal villain like Bane being abruptly disposed of in the most unsatisfactory and LOLworthy manner ever. Oh, and the fact that they gave Batman and Catwoman a "happily ever after" Disney Princess Movie ending- That isn't enough? Coz I haven't even mentioned useless Matthew Modine character yet.

TDKR story was pretentious, redundant, boring and a letdown all by itself. Goyer did not need to write any dialogue to ruin it. In fact, I'd say Jonathan Nolan's TDKR dialogue actuallys makes that mess of a movie slightly rewatchable. Unlike MoS.

There was NOTHING potent enough to compete against TDKR for weeks after its release. Didn't Bourne or Total Recall (don't remember which one) actually run away from TDKR much before its release? Also, it was July, the midst of holidays. Compare that to IM3 opening a horribly crowded May. The fact that IM3 will manage to get a 100M DOM increase over its predecessor despite the heavy competition just shows how much it appealed to audiences. Also, it owned TDKR WW.

He wrote the story with Chris Nolan. Jonathan Nolan wrote the screenplay based on that story.

TDKR opened in holidays proper and had lots of room to stretch its legs. IM3 was a May opener which was assualted with new release after new release after new release in the succeeding weeks. DMC did not come close to having so much competition.

Oh Tatum, Foxx, Sandra and McCarthy, Please come and put Kal-El out of his misery already.

Wasn't it Goyer's idea and Snyder was the one who just went along with it?

It has only been downhill since BB, unless there was some severe Nolan bros. intervention like in TDK.

Yes, Paul Dini would be the best thing to happen to the DC Movie Universe! Like a hundred steps up from Goyer, for sure!

Or so he thinks and has successfully fooled in making WB believe so. Reality is, even a "non-comic book" guy like Nolan has a better grasp on these characters because while he may not be a super geek, he gets what each character represents and what really drives them. Goyer only has blurry ideas and cannot write anything other than overwrought sentimentality to save his life.

I know. What a dank, joyless film.

OMG YES! Tatum/Foxx + Bullock/McCarthy plz finish off MoS with help from WWZ and MU holdovers!!

MU ensured that MoS wouldn't even work like a family movie similar to IM3! Also, script made sure there is zero rewatchability value except for a few diehards.

Thought as much.

Just wanted to ask a question to people who have already watched MU. Is it necessary to have watched MI prior to enjoy/understand the movie?

You are better off saving a couple of bucks and just waiting for it to come on the tele.

^Lol @ butthurt over MoS miserable drop. I hope WB gets the hint and "parts ways" with Goyer after the hackjob he just did.
