Dementeleus Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I just don't think it's as good as CR, but it's sure better than QOS. QOS was a giant pile of shit, so yes, SKYFALL was much better. Seriously though, Skyfall is still a Bond movie. If you complain it's shallow, I have to ask... shallow compared to what? It's the most resilient film franchise ever created precisely because of its knowing... shallowness. The problem with SKYFALL is that it doesn't want to accept that it's absurd and shallow. It's fraught with effort to find some deeper meaning and drama (deeper than other Bond movies, anyway), but when you break it down, it's just as hilariously ridiculous. Embrace the absurdity. Have fun with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I am seriously crushing on Chris Pratt. Is there anyone who dares to not love him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The problem with The Dark Knight Rises is that it doesn't want to accept that it's absurd and shallow. It's fraught with effort to find some deeper meaning and drama (deeper than other Batman movies, anyway), but when you break it down, it's just as hilariously ridiculous. Embrace the absurdity. Have fun with it. Ahem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ahem. I've never argued that TDKR isn't fairly ridiculous. I love it regardless (or maybe even because of that). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Does anyone else, out of curiosity, click over the moment they see that the "Banned and suspended members" thread has been bumped. No... Just me? I do. Its my personal way of going "ooooohhh youre in troubleee" like in elementary school when little Timmy would get called to the principal over the intercom.

4815162342 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Skyfall has a big problem in that it totally forgets about the premise of the movie (the NOC List) as soon as Javier Bardem shows up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 So you love Dark Knight Rises for the reason you don't like Skyfall? No, the core story and plot of TDKR is fine, it's just that Nolan tries to tell too much story in too little time. SKYFALL doesn't even meet that mark. Stuff happens literally just to happen. It's not a bad movie, it's just not that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Fishnets went into every thread saying The Hobbit sucked. I'm staying in a single thread discussing my dislike for Iron Man 3, including a valid opinion on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
