The Stingray Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Just read Io9's review of the movie. One line stuck out: "There are way too many scenes in a row where people give bombastic speeches instead of talking to each other." Something that has plagued the entire Batman-trilogy, and a major flaw in Nolan's screenwriting ability imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 No Country in general pisses me off. Especially when I think of all the awards it won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkshop36 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The run time didn't bother me at all. I didn't think to look at my phone one time. I was too into the movie to be worried about how long we had been in there or how much longer we had to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that movie is the epitome of engrossing, no matter how many times I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theultimatebiu Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 No Country in general pisses me off. Especially when I think of all the awards it won. It was a fantastic movie until they gave the most compelling actor in it a anti-climatic ending and than muddled the rest with some pseudo-psychology/social lesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was too into the movie to be worried about how long we had been in there or how much longer we had to go.My thoughts exactly. The only parts that I felt dragged a little were the scenes with Blake. I felt he was in the movie too much and I wanted more Bane and Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarpoint1111 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 Oh yeah remember that stupid couple with the 4 year old I talked about? He started crying and screaming within 15 minutes and they left. Pretty annoying but at least they had the decency to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 'That would be great and all but we all know Hollywood is too greedy to ever do that. This is the best we're gonna get. And I don't understand how some people can't see how gloating and boasting about box office numbers this weekend may seem insensitive on behalf of hollywood/the studio to some in the wake of what happened. Would it to me personally? No. But I'm sure it would to some. That's why they're doing it.So they will never report numbers? I think they will release weekend figures, so that may also be seen as insensitive, right?Victims families don't care how much the movie made and WB are reporting number or not. If they had just donated 1% of their receipts from OW to the victim's families, now that would have been a grand gesture and would have gotten them really good press.

Moviefanatic Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) I think the OD will be 80-82 million based off rallax info. Edited July 21, 2012 by Moviefanatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RthDeadWov Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) This is probably a stupid question, but does WB's decision affect international numbers as well?Valid point, if WB stick by no reporting till Monday and other follow suit , pretty much all other countries running the film reporting of weekend actuals occurs when its still Sunday/early monday am in the US, so if it stays in play then actual weekend BO reports across all films may all be delayed by a day for AsiaPac few hours for Europe... wait and see Edited July 21, 2012 by Rth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm warming up to the ending, but the film is way too bloated. Maybe that'll change with a repeat viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Nikki expects 180M OW, what do you think about this number, are you disappointed?I would be a little disappointed because that would be the same number than TDK + inflation.
