Re: The trilogy should have been crime thrillers not action

Well fuck all you American capitalist cunts who don't like my idea.

Hollywood films are worthless shit anyway which are aimed at the widest possible audience and so have to appeal to the lowest common denominator which is why they are all dumbed down clichéd shit.

The trilogy should have been crime thrillers not action film

I would have preferred it if the Chris Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy had of all been psychological crime thrillers which focused on the motivations of why Bruce Wayne became Batman and explored the ramifications of the existence of Batman and focused solely on Batman as a detective. The closest we got...

It'd be better if Bane had an original motive

I agree, I wasn't a fan of their overall goal at all. I wish Bane also had a more personal reason for hating Batman. Agreed entirely it would have been so much more interesting if Bane had of had his own personal grievance against Batman/Bruce and Gotham. Instead Bane's motivation seemed to simply ...

It'd be better if Bane had an original motive

For me it just seemed to be recycling the storyline of Batman Begins onto a bigger and even less realistic scale. It also made Bane less unique than what he could have been if he had his own separate agenda for Batman and Gotham instead of just finishing off and completing the legacy of Ra's Al Ghul...

Why was TDKR snubbed at the Oscars?

It was snubbed because the film was disappointingly average and not the genre defying mould breaking achievement it should have been. I doubt many here though will be honest enough to admit that TDKR was nothing more than a serviceable summer blockbuster. Nolan was on autopilot (poun intended) for t...

TDKR Academy Awards Predictions

youre just baiting people at this point Am I indeed. TDKR was a serviceable action movie no more worthy of an oscar nomination then the next action thriller. I think the problem was in my own expectation of the film in expecting it to be a genre defying and transcedent masterpeice which it wasn't a...

TDKR Academy Awards Predictions

The Avengers was an average movie and I'm a Joss Whedon fanatic. TDKR was not average. A little sloppy and had some issues but it was not average. The Avengers was a better average action movie than TDKR was because the Avengers was not pretentious unlike TDKR. The Avengers was simple entertainment...

TDKR Academy Awards Predictions

All I've got to say is that people of all ages still watch Star Wars after 30 years and in another 30 years they will continue to do so. The same can be said of The Dark Knight Trilogy. In 30 years it will still be purchased and re released and well regarded by many for years to come. I can tell yo...

TDKR Academy Awards Predictions

The film would have got an Oscar nomination if It had have been a political allegory about inequality and a cutting critique and satire of the deeply flawed superhero genre. The film should have been a multi layered philosphical meditation on the flawed concept of Batman which explored this theme th...

Selina and John Blake were unnecessary & Bane was underused

Selina and John Blake where unnecessary the homogeneity between Bane and Batman should have been the only thematic focus of the film. Both Selina and John Blake added nothing to the overall storyline and are responsible for the film being convoluted also both of these useless characters only served ...
