I know Batman doesn't want to do it and stuff, but it's still kind of creepy and weird in a post-Snowden climate lol Dark Knight Rises is also a very funky movie with weird politics, especially since it came out during the Occupy Wall Street movement. Doesn't mean it's bad, but it is a weird little bugger. The Dark Knight Rises is a weird ass, silly movie that barely even exists in the same realm of filmmaking as Dark Knight. It's also fun as hell (intentionally? unclear) and I watch it whenever it happens to be on cable. If it wasn't for Heath himself, Tom Hardy in that is easily the most memorable blockbuster villain of the last 20 years. I still quote that insane ass performance and it always gets a laugh going among people. Thank god he's actually doing a real movie again later this year, what a gift. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah you're right the last 20 minutes are super intense. It did end too abruptly and there could have been another 10 minutes added to the movie and it would have been perfect. But other than that small gripe it was fantastic. I got to be careful what I say of course because we're in the main forum but doesn't take a genius to figure out there was going to be some kind of twist and that was a good one. So yes I'm glad you recommended it I really enjoyed it, thank you. Buddy isn't it like 3:00 a.m. where you are? Go to bed dude lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all of them will have to see the movie so they can part of the conversation. Many guys I imagine like it too because of Margot hotness and Ken's well done story.

I remember a few years ago a member on this site who's no longer here and I can't remember their name, but they were from Ireland or England and they started recommending some European horror films to me. I remember watching some Irish horror film that literally scared the shit out of me. I had to turn the lights on I was so unnerved. That's what I love about horror films. There's so many of them that don't get a mainstream release and a lot of the European horror films I've never even heard of. And then you get a film like the one he recommended to me and then this one that you recommended to me and they both turn out to be these gems of a film. So yes thank you once again for mentioning it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Star Wars has always been cheesy and full of corny dialogue? That's the whole point of this silly kids series? 1 hour ago, Eric the Turtle said: I still get a laugh at how phone surveillance is used to save the day.

Doesn't mean it's bad, but it is a weird little bugger. And the movie clearly addresses him using phone survelliance as unethical and wrong. So really don't have an issue with it. Batman has to do unethical act to save the city but the movie doesn't pat his back for it. So many movies fail in this regard today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasNicole Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Godzilla ‘14 is the nearly the best you can get from a movie like this, it’s no Shin Godzilla but yeah, very decent Sure you can have way more fun with it, GxK have a good 40 minutes of fun parts, but demanding empty spectacle from Godzilla seems so weird to me. Anyway, we all know the best kaiju movie Hollywood ever produced is still Pacific Rim by our beloved papi del toro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledmonkey96 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Godzilla '14 would have been much better if they hadn't killed off Bryan Cranston in the first act. His son didn't interest me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
