dashrendar44 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 TDKR's plot is ridiculous. It could have and should have ended with Miranda killing Bruce when they had sex. Hit Combo. Baumer Wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 TDKR is my second of the year, but my whole 2-6 of 2012 is close: TDKR, Argo, The Raid, Life of Pi and The Hunger Games. All kneel before Intouchables though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Guys Guys Guys. Leave Baumer alone! Yes I think most people, including myself go 'WTF IS THIS SHIT', when we see his errr unique views on cinema. How one can claim that a kindergartener could poke holes in TDKR while singing the praises of movies like Battleship is beyond my level of understanding. However ultimately film going is a subjective experience and his opinion is just as 'right' as any as ours......I'll just continue to ignore any suggestions he has on films to watch and be thankful that we have someone of his talent to keep these forums well moderated! Wouldn't it be boring if we all had the same tastes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taste is subjective, but I fail to see how anyone can find more faults with TDKR than Breaking Dawn 2, especially after that atrocious beyond all belief twist ending. ANY film, regardless of subject matter, that had such a jaw-dropping, idiotic turn such as that would be ripped to shreds, but combined with the sub-Costner acting, laughable special effects, and complete lack of any sort of substantial plot to sustain any film for even close to an acceptable running time makes that film a truly horrendous viewing experience. In every measurable capacity, TDKR is far superior. In fact, the only CBM this year that rivals BD's lack of quality is Ghost Rider 2. Even Cordon's better works, Gods and Monsters and Kinsey, can't match up to the Trilogy's finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may not always agree with it but at least he doesn't just follow the herd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovex Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Sure TDKR has its issues, but unless you unfairly hold movies to different standards there is NO way BD2 is better than TDKR. I dare say TDKR is disappointing compared to TDK and that the disappointment makes you hate it, but ALL the twilight series is so bad that no batman can be considered worse. The emotion in Twilight is shallow, there is no chemistry between the so called 'actors', the score is poor, CGI is better on TV movies, the dialogue is cringy and the entire premise is offensive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Its not even close imo. BD2 is unquestionably superior to TDKR in every ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil in the Blank Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I dont know how one can look at the acting of Anne Hathelway, Christian Bale, Tom Hardy and Michael Caine and then look at Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart and be like......yeah, BD2 is unquestionably superior to TDKR in all ways. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) The bare mention of Twilight and TDKR in the same sentence is just preposterous (imo). Edited January 3, 2013 by Don Niam The Stingray 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil in the Blank Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I think for the vast majority of people, even those who disliked TDKR, would find it extremely hard to take vacant stares over the acting in TDKR Edited January 3, 2013 by Phil in the Hobbit 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 TDKR has plot holes the size of the asteroid that was going to hit Earth in Armageddon. BD2 is close to perfection imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
