Batman begins 2 dark knight city starts out with a really gritty kind of serious movie that i guess i took seriously. It was kind of deep with character growth and consequences that effected the plot line. I actually forgot it was a stupid movie about a jerk off in a cape.
and then the final 40 minutes happen.
It didn't need the 40 minutes.
It didnt need Zeus being a selfless nameless convict who rejects the notion of taking a life and throwing a detonator out of a window.
it didn't need a boat operator reasoning with an unruly crowd of regular people on a ferry dealing with their pending death and calming them down like there is any reason he would be poignant and well spoken he drives a fucking ferry.
It didn't need a fucking made up sonar computer tracker voice recognition tracer showing resonating images.
Didn't need Harvey Dent being a bad guy for 20 minutes and then being killed.
It didnt need a remote mine launching gun with sniper rifle accuracy
It didn't need the joker dressed as a nurse.
Didn't need batman fighting the cops just to keep them from getting shot. When a "hold up bro" would've done.
It was a pretty good movie that had so much extra. Whoever edited the movie should issue an apology.
Looking back at the whole thing. Can anyone explain why batman was able to karate chop a hole in the side of the van?
Why kill Gary Oldman just to bring him back?
Why the fuck are you loud whispering with a fake stupid voice?
Why make another fucking movie about batman?
rantings of a person who has no reason to be as sure of himself as he is.
that's a testament to how good The Dark Knight was up to that point-- it made you accept the silliness without downgrading.
ReplyDelete- the cellphone sonar is stupid (and impossible)
- the morgan freeman "I'm gonna quit if you don't blow this up" part
- Deebo
- the entire boat sequence as a hamfisted illustration of the prisoner's dilemma
I think Two-Face, as they wrote him, was only a good villian for twenty minutes. His whole thing was revenge, so once he got it (or tried) his story arc was over.
His attempt at second hand anarchy was so lazy compared to a guy who just stole millions of dollars just to burn it.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same problem with inception as tdk just more story than what was needed. the dark knight rises will be more of the same with a suspected 3 villain roster (bane, talia al ghoul, scarecrow) and then Anne Hathaway is going to pour her fine ass into a catsuit and weigh in. Sounds crowded.
ReplyDeletep.s. i think Chris Nolan should make a Half Life movie. if the story is gonna be long, make it awesome.
