I also admire mr.CIA's bodyguards that instead of trying to take out Bane, they start punching the two guys that are still restrained and on the floor.

That's better than bunching the air like the goons later on in the city

 

or this guy

Who would win in a fight?

TDKR's extras vs Last Jedi extra's?

The Dark Knight Rises has the best single fight scene of the trilogy (the Bane/Batman fight underground). It's opening scene is ALMOST as good as TDK. If anything, Talia was the worst part, and she wasn't THAT bad. Overall, it's great.

This one????

No one wins.

 

It's crazy to me how a big name director like Nolan could let so many things like that slide in one film. Guess they can't all be Jim.

Braveheart also as quite the strange extras in the background, those movie are not made to pass a test of people watching them at home with scrutiny, more like a magician that know were your attention will be and taking advantage of it.

It's lazy to me however you want to frame it.

 

An extra fucked up? You shoot the scene again.

Jon Schnepp is dying. His fiancée just posted on Instagram that he suffered a catastrophic stroke last Thursday and is currently on life support. I hope he pulls through but it’s not looking good.

 

Damn... The fact that life can turn to shit from one moment to the next gives one pause. I don't follow him or anything but i have seen him a couple of times when i was watching that collider youtube show and i really took a liking to him. A funny guy. All the best to him...

Braveheart? Don't you dare to say anything bad about one of the best movies ever made!

Nolan is quite known to shoot not many take and quick, combined with not using massive CGI to correct stuff nor use reshoot that lead to those really strange moments ending up in the final product, Scorsese had a camera bump in Casino because it was the take with is favorite performance, you can see the sound guy and the boom a long time in The Exterminating Angel, there is money responsibility/possibility ( or just scheduling issue) when you see an error to redo it or not.

Don't look too much at the extra in the background during the battle, they can be quite funny.

Truly horrible news.

 

After seeing Kevin Smith, who is not much younger than Schnepp, cheat death not too long ago, I hope some of the same good fortune can find it's way to Jon.  The guy is way too young for this.

This is terrible news. Really hope he pulls through

I also think that TDK's impact gave a lot of people the misguided idea that CBMs need to be "realistic." Ugh. 

Nope.

In my comic book movies I want fantasy, wonder, and awesomely made up worlds.

I want to see a woman stop bullets with her bracelets and fight a werecheetah.

I want to see a man fly and another man stick to walls.

I want to see a giant purple world eater satiate his hunger.

If I wanted to see a "realistic" film, I would watch a documentary about the US tax system.

Keep realism away from CBMs.

BS.

No reason why Different CBM's can't have different approaches.

It all depnends on the material.

I think a realistic gritty apporache is the way to go with Batman and Daredevil..but wrong for other charecters.

Saying no CBM should be dark and gritty is just as stupid as saying all CBM's should be dark and gritty.

And I love the way you want to impose your own preferences on everybody else.

Historically , "Braveheart" is often pure BS.

It's overall a good movie, but it not exact an accurate picture of what happened during the Scottish revolt against England. For one thing, the historical William Wallace almost certainly did not resemble Gibson in that film. The whole "Wallace was a common man" is crap.Wallace was a member of the Scottish gentry,which is sort of the lower half of the Nobility. He almost certainly wore armor and fought on Horseback.

Frankly, I liked :"Rob Roy" which came out about the same time a lot better.....

I have yet to rewatch it so it could change if I ever do, but it was my favorite of the Nolan series.

 

A giant blockbuster using the french revolution (specially the terror phase) set in modern time with the villain based on a gypsy boxing champ + old cartoon villain voice... it was nuts.

I loved TDK and Batman Begins, but thought that Nolan sort of blew it in the second half of TDKR.

I thought when the film was over "Why the Hell didn't Nolan just film A Tale of Two Cities and have done with it, rather then tyring to graft the Dickens novel into a Batman movie, where it did not fit?".

And when they used the long quote from the climax of the Dickens novel during the funeral of Batman I thought "Way too obvious, Nolan, way too obvious".

You need to read more comics.

Batman was never intended to be a ridiculous parody of granite-jawed "avenger of the night" fanwank BS.

I would imagine because he would have not got over 250m budget and a giant paycheck + back end to do that.

According to a recent Gibson interview, he said that Roy productions started them and they made sure to go fast with a quick release before them and was motivated by an powerful exec/producer that he had pissed off.

The TDK trilogy is still the greatest comic book trilogy of all time, other comic book franchises or franchises in general should use it as influence for their movies if they haven't done so already. Nolan knows no equal.

 

That being said TDK's world and aethetic isn't the reason for the DCeU's failures because they were following a "dark and gritty" approach for their characters, their failures lies soley on the filmmakers behind the scenes and studio heads. A movie can be made for a predominantly known dark character, light and it would still be good and vice versa, it all comes down to the approach which has eluded WB in terms of adapting their DC properties on the big screen. They have been making missteps with DC characters on film way before the TDK trilogy began with Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Steel, Catwoman etc.. 

This.  The DCU isn't a failure because it tries to be more "dark", "real", "grounded" or whatever.  Its a failure because Zack Snyder is a clunky inorganic on-the-nose storyteller.  We just had Wolverine's Swan Song which even got a fucking screenplay nom.  The "serious" approach is fine for CBMs, but it requires more than just a fanboy or a yes-man behind the camera to work.  And Snyder definitely isn't an actor's director either.

[IronJimbo]

Comic book movies are on the decline are getting stale.

 

Don't worry... leave it to me.

Surprised and thrilled at the epic 10 year anniversary celebrations to the most influential and straight up awesome movie of the 2000s.
