it's sentiments like these that make me wonder if we were watching the same movie. heath ledger's joker carved out (lol, pun) its own bit of turf and was unique but in no way did he deserve the level of hype he got for it (which he probably wouldn't have got had he not been dead). no fucking way is his joker on the same level as anthony hopkins hannibal (at least in silence of the lambs). it would have needed a whole different movie for that to have even been a possiblility
i'd give dark knight maybe 8/10. there are a lot worse ways to spend 2 1/2 hours, and it was great fun, but there was no way it could have lived up to the hype, and it didn't
Dark Knight 9.5/10 - Ledgers Joker is astoundingly good. All his little mannerisms, twitches and flicks made him seem like a man on the edge. The fact that he had a few different stories for how he got him scars made him more “appealing” (perhaps appealing is the wrong word? Interesting, fascinating or sinister maybe better). Ledger has done a brilliant job of making a mad man just that. Harvey Dent was also very well played. Basically this movie was fucking awesome and anyone that thinks otherwise is a moron.
Fact – It has replaced The God Father as the best film of all time on IMDB…!!!
i'll give dark knight 9/10. it was very good, and so was ledger... certainly better than the cartoonish nonsense of jack nicholson. i didn't have to change my shorts afterward though. just a really good comic book movie.

yeah the reviews led everyone to believe they would ejaculate furiously for 2 1/2 hours while watching, which in my case would have meant extended bukkake session on the plebs down in the stalls. i upgraded to the luxury seats on the balcony for this - the ones that were build for normal sized human beings instead of midgets or that tooms guy from the x-files
really enjoyed it but after all the hype it wasn't nearly as super fucking awesome as i was led to believe.
oh, and i hated the way batman forcefully stuck his lips out as far as he could whenever he talked; he looked like a fish ffs.

Thats just the way Christian Bale talks, it drives me nuts also. Its almost like his teeth push his lips out.
Where Do You Find a Dog With No Legs?
>Right Where You Left Him.
Another triple feature at the Drive-In over the weekend.
Step Brothers - 3/10
Barely watchable. I kept waiting for the funny but it never happened. If you think 40yr old men acting like 12yr old boys is funny on its own (without any jokes... just that concept acted out). This movie might be for you, if you're like me and you wanted more, the movie will fall flat.
Hancock 6/10:
Movie could have been way better. I honestly didn't see the twist in the plot near the middle coming, and liked it. But then the film makers apparently got bored and forgot to fully develop that plot for the second half of the movie. They also forgot to include a villain, these two things combined make the ending come off pretty weak. Huge problems like that should have ruined the movie, but all the lead actors (especially Theron) do a good job of helping you like their characters, makes the broken movie seem ok.
Don't Mess with the Zohan: 6/10
It's an adam sandler movie. Lots of sillyness and some decent laffs, nothing to really complain about.
Darkman = 6/10 - I'd completely forgotten how utterly fucking stupid this movie was. Good for several larfs.
X-Files 2: I Want To Believe - pfft/10 - Don't believe...not for a second. An utterly wasted effort to milk a dead brand. Only X-Files nerds (the same ones that made the fat redhead the most downloaded whore on the internet) will enjoy this tripe.
Porky's = 7/10 - Dumb 80s crap but alot of laughs. I still remember when I was a wee lad (13 years old) and my parents took me to see it at the theatre. While standing in line some old conservative fagg0t challenged me and told me that "no children were allowed to see this movie". Then my dad told him to fuck off.
The Reaping = 6.5/10 - A watchable horror/thriller about the biblical 10 plagues but it ain't great or anything.
Planet of the Apes (the new one) = 4/10 - Tim Burton needs to stop seeing the world through those huge, rose coloured sunglasses he always wears. WTF was he thinking when he made this shit? Excellent makeup and visual fx but other than that...fuck off.
Went to see Dark Knight last Wednesday with a couple buddies, but we timed it well enough to catch a few movies for free.
Hulk 2 - 2/10 - Usually when a film is 95% CGI, it's good to make sure the CGI actually looks half decent. What a shitfest. You'd think after Fight Club, Norton would do some films where he can actually act and not just show crappy computer facial animations. Liv Tyler was kinda hot.
Hellboy 2 - 1/10 - I felt bad for the morons who actually paid to watch this. What a pile of rubbish, even worse than the first one.
Hancock - 1/10 - Could've been a great comedy featuring a superhero who doesn't give a shit and usually causes more problems when he tries to help. Too bad it was poorly executed. Very poorly. Again, felt bad for the morons sitting in the theatre who actually paid for it. Some of these films are so ridiculously bad while trying to be serious - it's laughable.
The Dark Knight - 10/10 - Worth all the hype and then some. It had been out for 6 days and every single showing was sold out daily. Heath Ledger's Joker completely stole the show and I nearly pissed myself in the "magic trick" part. The entire film was brilliant from start to finish and was full of fantastic scenes and thrilling action. Bale, Ledger, Caine, Eckhart, they were all excellent. Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard came together to deliver yet another solid score. See this at the cinemas unless you want to miss one of the greatest films in history.
RIP Ledger. Didn't give a shit about him, but after seeing TDK I'm convinced he was a damn good actor.
Batman - 6/10 - Next day we decided to watch the original Batman to compare the Jokers. Nicholson was the best part of the film and his version was hilarious in a silly, clownish way. Ledger's gritty, dark, and maniacal version brought forth one of the best villain representations in film. Michael Keaton sucked though.
i saw hancock a couple weeks back... it wasn't 1/10 (i'll assume your extreme scores are beer-induced), but i agree that it fell short of its potential. it's a will smith summer action movie. i'd say 5/10.

That, and the fact there was hardly any fucking transformers in the film... And the entire last battle... What a random pile of blurred shit that was...
o'dium wrote:Yeah the main problem so far is obviously the transformers look, but other than that, the chick.. Shes TOO HOT. Its a Transformers film, not a fucking modeling advert, yet there she is looking stunning in every shot.
They should of picked a more average chick for the role, who is not as "stunning" but still damn pretty.
o'dium wrote:Erm, no, you clueless fuckwit. I'm bitching about a girl who is out of place in a movie like this.
I would 100% fuck her until her legs fell off. Thats no the point. The point is, shes to hot for THIS film. Eye candy has a point in films, this isn't a case where its needed.
You know, showing the internet you are desperate enough to search old posts on a forum from a specific person really does tell the other people here a lot about you.
Mostly that you are a virgin with no hope of a life.
Dark Knight - Everything that can be said, has been said. Ledger's Joker was phenomenal. The hospital scene was just amazing, with him in the nurse's outfit. He captured the raving insanity perfectly. RIP.
