Dementeleus Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Okay, finally got all that sorted out. Here we go... #1 The Dark Knight Riseswritten by: Jonathan and Christopher Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan & David Goyer, based on characters created by Bob Kane (and Bill Finger) directed by: Christopher Nolan starring: Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Anne Hathaway Number of first-place votes: 3 IMDB synopsis: Eight years after the Joker's reign of anarchy, the Dark Knight, with the help of the enigmatic Selina, is forced from his imposed exile to save Gotham City, now on the edge of total annihilation, from the brutal guerrilla terrorist Bane. Like THE AVENGERS, I’m not sure what’s left to say about this. For many people, Nolan’s Bat-trilogy stand as the current gold-standard of comic-book movies (though there’s certainly a significant minority that find them too dark, and feel they don’t embrace the essence of comics as fully as some other CBMs). Nolan continued his experiment of shooting a significant amount of the movie on IMAX 15/70 film, as he felt that was the best possible way to view a movie theatrically. Inevitably compared with its predecessor, THE DARK KNIGHT (a movie which rapidly reached iconic status among most fans), THE DARK KNIGHT RISES fell a bit short of most people’s expectations, but generally speaking it received a warm reception critically. It, of course, was a monster hit domestically and worldwide, though it failed to reach the heights of some 3-D boosted mega-hits like AVENGERS or AVATAR. Tomato meter: 87%, 8/10 Academy Awards: 0 wins, 0 nominations Random critic comment: “The grave and satisfying finish to Mr. Nolan's operatic bat-trilogy.” —Manohla Dargis, New York Times Random RTM comment: “The Dark Knight Rises is often times quite moving and thrilling, just managing to stick the landing, but it doesn’t appear to have done it with ease. … I wanted to see a conclusion that would end the trilogy on a satisfying note, similar to Return of the King or even Return of the Jedi and that held true.” —@MrPink 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) I vote we thread ban everyone who voted for TDKR from every list or BOFFY thread. It's the only reasonable option. Edited May 13, 2017 by The Panda 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Only 7.5 points separated #3 from #2. LOOPER and ZERO DARK THIRTY actually tied, but ZDT won because it had a first-place vote. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
