    Let's just agree to disagree.  Cause i'm a huge MARVEL fan, and I personally think Singer destroyed X-Men from the beginning.  The mix of characters, the story, arggghh.  Plus, he continued the string of Superman as garbage.  They need to drop Superman and not touch it for another 10 years, and re-boot it like they did with Batman


    I agree with you on Singer hacking X-Men.  They were merely OK, nothing more.  Hell, the cartoons had more depth and revolved more with the comics than the movies did.  Don't even get me started on X-Men 3...I will never forgive Brett Ratner for f*cking up the Phoenix storyline. 

    As for Superman, I could care less about the character in general.  A superbeing who can be harmed only by a rock?  Get the f*ck out of here!  I've never understood that general premise.  However, I did watch Superman Returns and it paled next to the first two movies.  I thought I watching a superhero love story, which is wackety wack. 

    Bryan Singer needs to stick to crime dramas.  I want to seesomething like The Usual Suspects again from him.  Maybe Valkyrie will be that, but please PLEASE someone take the camera from him before he makes another Superman!


    I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.  But to be fair to Singer, it's a lot easier to develop and explore characters in a multi-episode cartoon series (which I absolutely love) than it is in a 2 hour movie.  As I've stated I have always liked the Singer movies of X-men, but I mean if you want to be picky with it, I don't really think anyone could really do an X-men justice with just a two hour movie.  I mean you have so many characters to develop and the story and concept is too supernatural to crossover well into a live action movie.  But I thought Singer did a good job making X-men realistic (similar to the way that Nolan is making Batman realistic, which is one of the reasons I love it) with his X-men movies, focusing more on the segration and prejudice against mutants and how the characters cope with the prejudice differently.

    Truthfully, I think the only way one could do any justice to a live action X-men would be with a television series where they could develop the characters individually through different arcs (kinda like heroes, only better).

    And whoever said Rattner needs punished for what he did to the Pheonix storyline was dead on, talk about a debacle.  I just like to pretend that X-3 never happened.

    Oh yeah, and your right about Singer's latest project, Superman Returns sucked IMO.



    Well, we don't necessarily disagree.  I did enjoy the Singer X-Men films for what they were but I agree that the universe is too vast to do proper justice to the comic series.  Storm was a thorn in my side though, no matter how hot Halle Berry is.

    That's all anyone ever needs to understand.  This will be the film to compare against for all time, and will go down in history as one of the greatest second installments in a film franchise.

    Everything i've read says that Ledger's performance is supporting actor Oscar worthy.  I hope it is awarded to him;  I just hope people don't confuse his performance and an award as a tribute to his life.  If his performance merit's an award, then they should award him based on that performance. 

    Absolutly agreed. This performance is worthy of the prize regardless of Ledger's tragic death. The problem is that according to Academy laws, a dead person CAN NOT be nominated for any acting award

    While I hope he gets it.  I don't want to see the Academy giving him the Oscar because he died.  What I mean is that if somebody else deserves it fairly then I wouldn't mind if that somebody gets it instead of Ledger.

    I do know that from what I've read, Ledger MUST be nominated.

    Was there a recent rule change?  I just read the NY Post link from pharmd and it says there have been six actors nominated for posthumous oscars (Peter Finch for Network being the only one that won). 

    I think it's a sureshot he will at least be nominated if what we are hearing of his performance is true (and i'm sure of it, just haven't seen it yet ).

    This is a great review of the movie.  No spoilers at all, but it lets you know just how perfect this film is.

    "Without giving anything away, this is an epic film (and trust me: based on the sheer size and scope of the visuals and storytelling, that's not an overstatement). It's the "Godfather II" of comic book films and three times more earnest than "Batman Begins" (and ****, was that an earnest film). Easily the most adult comic book film ever made. Heath Ledger didn't so much give a performance as he disappeared completely into the role; I know I'm not the first to suggest this, but he'll likely get at least an Oscar nod (if not the win) for Best Supporting Actor. ****ing flick's nearly three hours long and only leaves you wanting more (in a great way). I can't imagine anyone being disappointed by it. Nolan and crew have created something close to a masterpiece."

    That sounds all good to me.  Also i been hearing it is a very hard pg-13

    I think you meant to say...is anyone really that messed up on drugs to miss the release date completely and not be able to catch it until it's out on blu-ray?

    If you miss this movie, something is seriously wrong with you.  Or you just don't like Batman...which still makes something seriously wrong with you.

    While I'm getting use to waiting for Blurays......

    This one movie deserves the whole theater treatment, with MEGA size popcorn, MEGA size Coke, 2 feet Twix, 10 pound bag of Kisses and a sh*tload of nachos with EXTRA cheese.

    Ohhh and 2 fried eggs of course....  for my eyes.  Can't see the movie without them

    Whoa! hold it there.

    I don't recall taking drugs.

    I'm a huge batman fan (since day one). But I would much rather watch any movie in the comfort of my own home in glorious high def with surround sound.

    1. Dark Knight is a movie that indeed deserves multiple theatre views.
    2. It's a movie with some completely IMAX scenes that HAS to be seen at an IMAX theatre.

    Amen to that. I gotta add that to my shopping list.

    I wholeheartedly agree, this movie does deserve all the views from fans and movie goers alike. I'm extremely excited to see the movie just as everyone else is.

    It's just part of it has to do money issues. Right now I'm unemployed, so I can't really be throwing money around at the moment. I'm usually too busy to go out to a movie theater nowadays, that's one of my reasons for preferring a tangible medium over going to a theater (convenience). I'll pop in a good movie whenever I get a chance to relax.

    I don't want you to have to miss out on an event.  So how about this?  I'll mail you my Dark Knight ticket voucher I am getting from Batman Begins Limited Edition blu-ray, and all you will have to pay is the difference of a $7.50 credit.  If you watch a matinee it should be around...a dollar?  I dunno, that would cover a matinee by over a dollar where I live.  But you HAVE to watch this in the theater.  You probably have $10 in you jeans somewhere if you look around enough. 

    Does my offer sound good?

    I really couldn't do that, I always feel pretty bad about accepting free items from another person. I do thank you for the offer though.

    I haven't felt this much peer pressure. 

    Edit: But I am considering to going to a theater, I just have to think of a good time/date if it becomes concrete. I can probably go with someone else, who might have some extra tickets.
