Non-spoiler brief and trollin' take on Batman

[feilong80]

Basically this takes any Marvel movie and executes a mortal combat style fatality to it. Seriously: after watching these Nolan batmans it is hard to take any comic book film seriously. I expect so much more now.

Trollin' to the max: Dark Knight Rising makes Iron Man 2 feel like Superman 3. XD

Semi-serious comments:
Biggest shock was Anne Hathaway being good. She was really good as catwoman. No one standout performance a la Ledger, but I'd argue that Rising has the best ensemble cast and performance. Bain was way better and scarier than I expected as well. They did a great job making him seem larger than poor ol' Tom Hardy could possibly be (lots of interesting camera angles and cuts were used to make him look bigger).

But yeah, it's so full of awesome that I almost thought it was *too much.* Go see it. Preferably in IMAX if you can.

OK, but:

1. It's Mortal Kombat.
2. Iron Man 2 sucked about as much as Superman 3 already.
3. If feilong were Bain, they wouldn't have needed fancy camera tricks for the size. Just lots and lots of CGI for everything else.

Just as a note: yes, I know it is Mortal Kombat. It's called "trying to contribute more to the board, and rushing posts without proofreading." :-)

I like it, leaving aside some problems with the script, and the movie being in serious need of getting some extra minutes cut off. It was better than The Dark Knight, that movie is basically Joker's funniest videos, with a ham-fisted love triangle stuffed in between his antics.

Ouch. I can't wait until fei reads that take on TDK--it'll be like when I talk about how terrible Batman AA and AC are...

Lol, no worries, sometimes one is so convinced of something's awesomeness, that no matter how many people say it isn't any good, it doesn't really affect you. It's like saying gravity isn't real. Or we have no sun. Or that reece's and plain donuts aren't amazing.
