TDK reminds me of Gangs of New York in that both Ledger & Daneil Day-Lewis played their roles so well it made up for other shortcomings the films had.

At least TDK has Joker shooting bazookas at police cars and Batman flipping over trucks.

that car chase was really bad. poorly directed and edited. the tumbler chase in BB was better.

Like? It almost always comes off as people rejecting TDK as the best superhero movie (because it is) because it's "overrated".

Well Christian Bale was better in Begins, Batman was above and beyond the one in TDK. I liked how "gritty" it was compared to TDK too. I like TDK more, having my two favorite characters of all time(Batman and The Joker) kind of helps it. I also do think that a lot of flack given to TDK isn't that bad at all, be it fanboy bias or not.

I think Bale's "batman voice" is awful in TDK

there's a video that explains it pretty well. some really bad cuts and the perspectives are all over the place. plus batman kills a garbage truck driver.

i don't see it as nitpicking. a lot of the stuff shows a real clear lack of understanding of how to shoot an action sequence.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #7867 on:** October 16, 2011, 06:22:07 PM »

I thought Batman Begins was one of the most over-rated comic book movies I've ever seen.

I didn't see the second one until relatively recently and even with all the hype I still thought it was a good movie.

But then I'm also not generally much of a fan of comic book movies.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #7868 on:** October 16, 2011, 06:23:42 PM »

BB is not a good film. TDK is entertaining as hell, mainly due to the Joker. Yea the end sucks, but the second act is so awesome it makes up for it. Good movie. Overrated heavily by internet nerds, but you can't deny it has its moments.

Powerslave · « **Reply #7875 on:** October 16, 2011, 07:23:24 PM »

The reason why I like TDK better is simply for the Joker. He plays the part so well that you give a pass to some of the bad/boring parts without him. If it would have been anyone other than Heath Ledger playing the Joker I can guarantee the movie wouldn't have been so high praised.

Cindi Mayweather · « **Reply #7876 on:** October 16, 2011, 07:30:43 PM »

I don't find any part in TDK to be bad.

I even like the part with Two Face.

I had the worst theater experience watching BB; A brat on his second viewing was sitting next to me and spoiled the entire movie while talking to his friend, a group of douchebags that were sitting in other people's seats were requested to go back to theirs 20 minutes into the movie (there was a heated, distracting discussion), and finally I accidentally spilled my jumbo caramel popcorn onto the guy sitting in front of me. I freaked out, appologized at least 7 times, and left for the bathroom for at least 15 minutes.

I should rewatch it some time. Right now it is a pile of shit by association.

Caramel popcorn...in a movie theater wtf. That don't go together breh. Saudi Arabia

My worse theater experience is probably taking my little brothers and their distinguished mentally-challenged friend to see Ang Lee's Hulk. Their friend kept yelling out "WHERE'S HULK? IS THIS THE HULK MOVIE?" and I'd be like "Nicholas, be quiet, he'll be on the screen soon enough..."

then of course, it takes forever for Hulk to actually appear in the movie. So Nicholas whispers as loud as possible "I have to go pee, tell me when Hulk comes on the screen." Considering he did not own a cell phone, I'm guessing he expected someone to run into the bathroom and inform him that yes, Hulk was on the screen.

EmCeeGrammar · « **Reply #7886 on:** October 16, 2011, 10:44:21 PM »

TDK suffers from a villain capable of implausible feats/foresight (enough to detract from the experience) and some REALLY corny dialogue. BB has melodramatic shit too but it tied in with the origin mythos stuff (using fear, why do we fall bruce?, etc) so its kinda excuseable.

I still like both movies and no other superhero movie has crafted such a compelling rendition of a character. The Spiderman movies are terrible trash by comparison. But BB>TDK fosho. And c'mon. Joker has ALWAYS been awesome. The scarecrow was a very creative interpretation and the fear gas fx were sweet.

a mechanical keyboard is worth it. seriously. my old keyboard felt like junk after a few weeks of buying one (daskeyboard silent).

the hardcore mechanical keyboard community can be awesomely nuts. how often do you think about the process of putting letters on keys? or the plastic stock of the keys?

I have one of these:

it's not a chiclet and there's an audible click and clack when i type. i know it's not a super high-end one but i believe it's mechanical? i dunno. i do know that i would never go back to a straight keyboard ever again after using this.

cool breeze · « **Reply #7893 on:** October 17, 2011, 12:06:31 AM »

for that price it's probably not mechanical, but I don't know of a mechanical keyboard that come in that ergonomic shape.

The hearts are in the right place, but even if everyone on gaf bought a game, it'd still make up such a small number that it wouldn't be profitable to bring more jrpgs over.

The only way for jrpgs to start coming to the west again is for some sort of mainstream movement where jrpgs become popular again.

Graces being brought over is nice, but until Ni no Kuni and XIII-2 prove themselves...dunno how much they're worth! Meanwhile tons of quality rpgs are being left out like US. This situation right now is pretty dire. I mean it was really bad during the NES/SNES/Saturn era, got better during PS1 though there were still a lot of jrpgs left overseas, then it got really good for the PS2 gen, and now it's going back to PS1/Saturn era.

No, just the idea that buying shit games will lead to more good games being localised, which isn't the case, mainly because there aren't many good niche games to bring over.

Anyway publishers aren't the devil in this case, it's retailers.
