Hatebox Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Then you misunderstood.The Avengers = Great popcorn fare that does not take itself seriouslyTDKR = Pretentious and long winding that takes itself way too seriouslyI do love the clairvoyance of my sig. :lol:Seriously though, if you think Nolan intends these batman movies to be political, existential explorations then you've bought into the strawman argument purported by many of his detractors. As TDKR demonstrates, spectacle is his primary goal. If you think he fails at that, you're at least calling him out on something he was aiming for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cremino Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Brave held well, according deadline's estimate (as I write this the actual could come out and I be wrong). IA4 opened less than Madagascar, Lorax, and Brave. I'm surprised it didn't drop over 60% as it seems audience don't like it as much. As I said before, these drops seem similar to the drops of hold overs when Avengers opened. At that time, all (except for THG) had 50%+ drops. So I'm not seeing this mass impact on theaters from the tragedy.We actually should be happy people still came out in big numbers this weekend and didn't give into fear and terrorism.Everything went down from pre-shooting estimates including Brave and Madagascar so the shooting had an impact Edited July 23, 2012 by cremino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 what Sunday number does TDKR need to show there is a chance for recovery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cremino Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I hope there will be a recovery next weekend Edited July 23, 2012 by cremino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theultimatebiu Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I don't mind being teased about this but in this case why does it matter? TDK is one of my fave movies of all time, so is Aliens. So why does my enjoyment of other films have anything to do with my issues with this one? ^^^^^LOVES TWILIGHT^^^^^^ Edited July 23, 2012 by theultimatebiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact 3 of the top 5 of my all-time best includes serious movies that are close to a running time of 3 hours long. But I want my SH movies to be entertain me rather than bore with unnecessary sequences that stretch the movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 For me, Noctis said it best right after he saw the film, he called it bloated and then I added to it saying it had too many carbs and it needed more protein, to trim down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want my SH movies to be entertain me rather than bore with unnecessary sequences that stretch the movie. TDKR was too short in my opinion, and it is TA which had the unnecessary sequences (Not that TA wasn't a very enjoyable movie), and it had no where near the punch TDKR has.

theultimatebiu Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 That's what I thought.No comeback.If you can forgive Twilight for its MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY flaws than you can forgive TDKR for some minor nitpicks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 What each of us are entertained by is not necessarily the same thing. As I've said before, I don't find Nolan's films deep. Nor do I find them subtle. But I do appreciate that they're essentially action/adventure films with a tad more meat on them than most others (whether through characterization, a couple of dramatic ideas, or both).

On a purely nutrition level that makes no sense. Protein does not trim you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockNrollaDIM Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 what Sunday number does TDKR need to show there is a chance for recovery?Flat from Saturday--- I would have heart failure at an increase :)So I guess 45+ would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm56 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I feel differently, it needed more room to breathe.Only because they wasted (or at the very least failed to make good use of/tried to do too much with ) it's already long running time.
