Jessie Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Nice to see Kiwis breaking away from PJ cult. I expected that his excessive in-your-face wealth (it`s one thing to build a Neverland-like mansion in a neighbourhood with similar riches and totally another when you do that where people are normal middle class) and diminishing quality of movies would bite him in the ass at home at some point. yes, but when you take the "expectation" factor away and that will not last forever, you see that TDKR is a better movieIt's all matter of opinion and more opinions disagree with yours. Even if I thought TDKR was the ether movie, there's no denying more people think differently. Edited December 15, 2012 by Jessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#ED Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Speaking of supergroups, did you see Avengers?I did. To me Joss Whedon is a god, I’m just a huge fan of his work, I love his work on TV. And I thought The Avengers was just an incredible achievement-Jonathan NolanThe Nolans are classy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of it matters if it doesn’t support the story. I thought 'The Avengers' was an appalling film. They’d shoot from some odd angle and I’d think, why is the camera there? Oh, I see, because they spent half a million on the set and they have to show it off. It took me completely out of the movie. I was driven bonkers by that illogical form of storytelling."

Lordmandeep Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ilogical?Its a film about a bunch of superhero's assembling to kick ass.All hero's don't all have to lose their parents... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil in the Blank Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 From what i understand he wasnt complaining that the story itself was illogical, but the way it was shot and directed was an illogical way of telling that story.I disagree with him for the record.

ddddeeee Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I don't like any of these trailers. 'Let's take criticisms that have already been done to death for months and put them all in one video!' Ha ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Like did he want all the hero's to come stand around on buildings all the time and sit in sad reflection... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil in the Blank Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 No....what he wanted is contained in the quote "What’s really important is storytelling. None of it matters if it doesn’t support the story. I thought 'The Avengers' was an appalling film. They’d shoot from some odd angle and I’d think, why is the camera there? Oh, I see, because they spent half a million on the set and they have to show it off. It took me completely out of the movie. I was driven bonkers by that illogical form of storytelling." He wasn't criticising the story...He didn't want the tone to be different. He thought that the cinematography took him out of the movie.

Lordmandeep Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) sure you did have some Camera angels that focused on SJo breasts and backside but we saw that in TDKR a bit, but Nolan was being subtle.Nothing beats Micheal Bay eyefu*(ing Megan Fox.Even so he may be right but this is one of the best recent action shots in a while.To pull off such a shot in such a long take was amazing. When I was in the theater I was and everyone just amazed... People cheered after that scene...We need more action scenes like this...

haku Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I liked TDKR, but could see all of the flaws when I watched it opening night. Having Honest Trailers back up basically every single complaint I had really makes me feel good haha!! For some reason though, I still love the movie.

dashrendar44 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Are you kidding me? The first re-appearance of Batman is a joke of an action scene. There's nothing really exciting going on and Nolan's poor talent for directing action is glaring. It's Zimmer's thunderous (reused) score that made you think some breathtaking action was taking place before your eyes but it's an illusion. It's poorly paced and a standard chase already seen numerous times (just a rehash of Batman Begins chase) with Batman just hanging around on his bike. (Oh man, that CGI bike jump is lame as if it was supposed to be a jaw-dropping scene, give me a break...) .There's nothing as impressive as Avengers epic action set pieces which didn't lack that WOW factor. Hulk Smash! That's what I'm talking about: Edited December 17, 2012 by dashrendar44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 One can argue which scenes are better.Which action scenes audiences liked more...Well that is easily TA.People like TDK trilogy story but the action is not the draw really... Frankly the Action in TDKR is not that great or special, still fun and epic.However feels like Nolan watched TF3 to film the city battle LOL!

dashrendar44 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) yh i just tend to prefer my action that isnt filmed next to a green screen. Maybe because Nolan doesn't know how to properly use a green screen as that evidence shows: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQoNOiuK_7w Oh, What's that? Batman didn't freefall from a real building for real? Next, you gonna tell me Nolan doesn't use CGI...

Lordmandeep Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 TDKR lacks the great epic action shots from TDK...The famous truck flip scene...TDKR has a great action scene where the Aircraft flips over and dodges missles but we have seen that soo much in Transformers 3..
