    Wow, ok.

    So i watched The Dark Knight Rises today, after skipping it in theaters.

    That movie was really crappy. What the fuck was up with Bane's voice? As if Bale's Batman voice isn't bad enough.

    God. I feel like that film's narrative goal was to bore me to death punctuated by occasional kicks to the groin.

    I can't comprehend why you'd want to watch a movie that's been recorded by an asshole in a theater with a video camera.

    pirating movies that are still in the cinema is weird to me

    "hey guys, do you want a recording of an album that I made on my phone from 40 ft away?"

    but in hindsight it was kind of terrible

    I want an otter

    why don't I have an otter

    There was a holiday resort in the Drakensberg with a restaurant overlooking a lake, that had a "pet" otter that would come in. People could pet it etc.
    Be careful when wearing baggy shorts as he likes to climb up the pants leg. Then he gets stuck, and panics.

    I never petted that otter.

    Move to New Zealand
    It’s not a very important country most of the time

    The single worst thing about the movie, and there was a lot to dislike about, was the fact that the not-so-surprising surprise villain plot twist at the very end read so much like an islamic terrorist that I felt guilty for hating it, despite the fact that it was a very loathsome villain who deserved no sympathy.

    By playing into such a hot button racial stereotype pastiche, the movie deprived me of even the simple joy of really rooting for the villain to take a bullet to the brain.

    Fuck that movie.

    It definitely felt like a 'a camel is a horse designed by committee' kind of thing. So many plot holes make me think the script was rewritten a dozen times by a dozen different people.

    Dark Knight Rises wasn't the best movie I've seen, but I don't feel like I wasted my money by seeing it in theatres

    Of course, such moderate opinions can't be tolerated here

    give me a few minutes to get really riled about how adequate I found it

    It wouldn't have bothered me if he hadn't had more screen time monologuing than any other character in the film.

    But as much as I had to listen to that fruity voice? It should have been a lot less stupid.

    But it allowed for that town crier scene which was probably where the fruity voice came from in the first place.

    Pretty much my opinion. :) I found it to be easilly the weakest of the 3 in the new serie but it's also easilly superior to the Batman movies that came out before it.

    Teaser for a film that probably won't happen does not redeem a long painful crappy movie.

    I like JGL, I like Tom Hardy, I like Morgan Freeman, I like Michael Caine, I like Anne Hathaway, I like Gary Oldman.

    That doesn't mean I don't have to pretend that wasn't a really crappy film.

    Because it really was. I'm not saying it's Plan Nine From Outer Space or The Room, but for all the money and talent they had to throw around, they have no excuse for the film sucking as much as it did.

    @Jacobkosh

    Do we know anything about Cyberpunk 2077's gameplay?

    Because the trailer for Dead Island with the girl reversing through the window was an amazing trailer that apparently signified nothing about the game at all. So as cool as the Cyberpunk trailer is, it could have nothing to do with the game itself.

    Well, I mean, yeah. There is no such thing as an airtight defense against a company that's willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a fancy cinematic trailer to convince you their game is something it's not.

    But ideally the trailer, even sans gameplay, shows something about the tone and the aesthetic they're going for. And this one is nice because it is comes off as fresh and modern but demonstrates a certain level of understanding of the source material, which is heartening when you have a group of Poles making a game of a beloved but hoary twenty-five-year-old tabletop gaming property.

    it was like someone filmed the idea of an adequate but not great batman movie

    I find it remarkably inferior to the two Michael Keaton Batman films.

    Comparing it favorably to the Val Kilmer/George Clooney films does not seem like much of a compliment.

    If you go down that road you have to start asking why they didn't just
    detonate their bomb
    instead of engaging in some hokey ass plot to "kill everyone's hopes and dreams before
    detonating the bomb
    for lulz".

    I guess because he was so arrogant he did not ever think it could happen.

    I was considering going to see it because of how much praise it got in [chat].

    The theater out here ain't cheap... so now I am having doubts.

    save a thousand zennies and just watch 12 monkeys again

    always the right decision

    12 Monkeys is so great
