also, comparing the marvel movies with nolans batman movies is just

completely different kinds of movie

All I was personally doing was comparing comic book movies based off of specific companies in general. Not really caring about who produced them.

He's just trying to make a comparison that anyone who watches and appreciates film won't take seriously. Aka he's just trying to get a reaction from people.

I was suprised about how good the movie was, after seeing the latest ones this one came out much better than expected. Having so many "alpha" heroes in the same place at once is a hard thing to pull off with attitude and whatnot but I'd say Whedon did it pretty masterfully.

After some consideration Id consider it the best made film Ive seen since the first Alien. Just a perfect blend of action, comedy and production quality. Ive long said that Marvel make the best movies (imho) these days, and this movie put them firmly on their throne. No bullshit from these guys, just grade A entertainment and storytelling.

Not all Nevermore fans like silly voices? Come, come.

Bale's Batman is rad. Heath kicks ass. The whole cast (minus the female lead, who blows, perhaps on purpose to make it even more rad when she's killed) is amazing. The plot has overtones that are much more interesting than that of The Avengers. TDK rules, TDKR will prolly rule, too.

That said, apples and oranges. Avengers was AaaAaWesome to an unprecedented level. I love apples, I love oranges. Different things for different times. Both rule. Indeed.

(I don't really like oranges as much as apples in real life, though)

Karmic · May 18th, 2012, 01:41 PM

Apparently the 3d in it is neat but it's in no way necessary to see it in 3d

OR?

Archelaos · May 20th, 2012, 12:27 PM

I will say that I fuckin' hate 3d and ended up seeing it in 3d and thought they did a damn good job.

WhiteBeastofWotan · May 29th, 2012, 09:09 PM

Man this whole movie oozed Joss Whedon. It was so great.

Did everyone stay for BOTH after credits scenes?

You Tube

hahaha Shawarma.

ShadowsWithin · May 29th, 2012, 09:32 PM

Yeah that was what made the movie so endearing was all the "Joss Whedon-ness" of it all. Especially the ending i've seen it like 20 times cause when i'm cleaning the theater I usually do it during the credits, still makes me laugh every time

The Dark Knight Rises > Avengers

love when the Batman fanboys come out and say stupid shit like that.

Yes, two pretty different kind of movies are compared. The only thing you've stated here is your own preference, which is vital for us to know in these troubled times. Keep up the good work. Maybe next time you'll tell us how Let the Right One in is better than Battlestar Galactica?

Dreadful · May 30th, 2012, 03:02 PM

love it when people get offended over an opinion. It wasn't hard.

neal · May 30th, 2012, 07:49 PM

did you SEE dark knight rises yet? you never know man, nolan might shit the bed. i thought that dream movie where the van was falling off the bridge for 2 hours was pretty overrated.

Dreadful · May 30th, 2012, 08:17 PM

the story and actors (what I've seen in the trailers, and their track record ie. Tom Hardy [Bronson, The Take, WArror], marion cottilard, anne hathaway) appears to be pretty good, as far as what I know.

They are continuing what left off at the end of The Dark Knight and wrapping up the story with this Count of Monte Cristo effect along with other things. It really does seem pretty solid storywise. I don't think there will be a dull part in the movie, every scene will be tasteful due to the variety of good actors and sub plots between them all.

derek · May 30th, 2012, 11:51 PM

Except...you haven't seen it so can't judge.

It's not the opinion as much as the comparison which is stupid.

And you haven't seen it yet so it makes it even sillier.

Dreadful · May 31st, 2012, 04:56 AM

You sound like a doubter...Christopher Nolan has a good track record...watch all the movies he's done. Then look at Joss Whedon. I understand your statement, and it's very true when applied to most movies...and it does [i]appear[/] a bit silly. But I have faith in Nolan, call me a fanboy. That's like calling an anticipating Nevermore fan a fanboy waiting for the followup to 'Dead Heart in a Dead Word.' Yeah, he may be a fanboy but chances are...it's going to be good. Avengers to me imo, wasn't anything spectacular. It was alright, but I got bored with quite a bit of it. Predictable superhero movie...badass (The Hulk was killer) but it wasn't anything we haven't seen before.

DarkGift · May 31st, 2012, 05:00 PM

^it's still two very different types of movies, you can't just compare them as "super hero movies"

Dreadful · May 31st, 2012, 06:06 PM

If I said Avengers > The Dark Knight Rises ... people wouldn't have a problem with it. How about we compare Twilight with Herzog's 'Nosferau.' Two very different types of movies with one thing in common...a vampire. Most if not everyone on here would say Nosferatu is better...but I guess they can't because they're two different movies.

derek · May 31st, 2012, 11:47 PM

Herzog is terrible.

Twilight is awesome.

no I pretty much would have said the same thing, that being that you hadn't seen one of them and that you can't really compare the two

Mephistophiliac · June 2nd, 2012, 02:39 AM

All I know is I'm looking forward to seeing how far Bane will go in breaking the bat. This is what everyone should be talking about.

Archelaos · June 2nd, 2012, 11:09 PM

I love ice cream. I also love hamburgers. Not at the same time. Or in the same way. But equally. These 2 movies are so different, comparing them makes no logical sense.
