Adm56 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 You're underestimating the popularity of Batman with the younger kids, yes its dark, but it's still batman which guarantees that families will turn out.I'm not a parent, but if I was why would I care what is 'popular among kids' if I don't think the content is appropriate for a child?If you give me a 8-10 year old who has proved they can sit through a film without being a nuisance I'd consider bringing them to see Avengers....I'd make them wait to see a Nolan Batman. It's called good parenting. Kids IMO should enjoy their childhood...not be exposed to all the is dreary right out of the gate. This limits Batman's audience.

Punishment Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Clearly the box office performed quite a bit less than what was projected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloneWars Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I don't know where all this talk is coming from about people getting fired for TDKR or GS. In GS case WB acted pretty swiftly in getting theaters to remove the trailer. Some morning shows were still showing the trailer, but they still acted in what I feel was a pretty quick manner. WB was focused on TDKR and it is a miracle they actually remembered when they did that GS had that theater shooting scene. No one is getting fired. WB had no control over the shootings. It would be like if a shooting happened and then you got fired from your job even though the shooting took place many states away from where you live. Doesn't make sense, now does it.

MrPink Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 HA!!!!!Seems like I am not the only one to question the plot and story to TDKR. Here is a list of 15 things that bothered this guy and I discussed about 10 of these with Noctis. There are obviously massive spoilers in here so if you haven't seen it yet, do not click the link.http://www.slashfilm...k-knight-rises/There's no doubt the film has plenty of issues, a good chunk of which I spotted. Some are a bit nitpicky though. And by no means are TDK and BB without problems of a similar nature too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the SEC didn't overturn the trades, trading a massive amount of live put options wouldn't have ruined Bruce anyways, not financially possible.

jb007 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 In the TDK weekend 3 movies dropped in th 40s, all family movies, the rest dropped in the mid 50s and above. One Superhero (albeit lesser known one) dropped 70%.BTW, Brave will drope less than 50% just like Wall-E. Madagascar3 almost matches KFP's 58%.

I made a post about the nature of criticising plot holes in the review thread - basically, if you're emotionally engaged most of them are trivial. If you're not then it's easy to see why they could be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
