Looper (2012)
This film won't be nominated by the Academy. It be nice to think so if it's as good as it looks, but I just doubt it will get that kind of recognition. Kind of hoping at the very least Johnson will nab a best original screenplay nomination.

Looper (2012)
I'm expecting this or The Master to be my favorite of the year. Of course I'm trying to keep my expectations leveled.

The Avengers won
I guess I'm in the minority about this one. Even though their only comparable on the most superficial superhero level, I'd take Avengers any day. This is coming a Batman fan. A Nolan fan and a fan of what Nolan has done with Batman.......at least for the first two films. Avengers is that rare blockb...

I'm in the minority here so take whatever I say with a grain of salt. The Dark Knight 10/10 Batman Begins 9/10 The Dark Knight Rises 7/10. Maybe Too much lazy exposition, monologues, and even twists that never feel truly deserved. The tone is darker and yet at times it's too dark with.... civilians ...

Overbloated? [Spoilers]
It was either remove some characters to make it tighter or expand to flesh out characters and plot points. Many moments of the film are not earned. Their rushed through exposition. As for Selina Kyle/Catwoman. In some ways she is integral and in some ways she isn't. She is far and away the best thin...

-pacing. more so in the 2nd half and not the 1st or 3rd. -exposition. Eh. These talented writers didn't handle it to so well -monologues -development became non-existent after a certain point and it was just a matter of wrapping things up -too many characters -too many subplots -Zimmer's score is ra...

Tone
Yup. Things were incredibly bleak even more so than the last and yet at the same time this felt like the most comic bookish of all the films. Characters go through the whole exile thing and some people are even getting hanged.

Worse than The Dark Knight?
i don't know if this will be seen as being a classic trilogy in the sense Star Wars or LOTR was. You need to 2 immense movies on an immense scale with widespread critical acclaim. I'm talking like 93-94% or above on RT and the general audience widely in agreement. LOTR was able to do it with 3 movi...

Metacritic has this at an 80 with 38 reviewers. I'm assuming there's at least 3-5 more reviews coming in. That's a very impressive score. That's the strange thing. This is still one of his better reviewed films of the year and it's one of Nolan's better reviewed flicks. I guess this flick is divisi...
