10 years ago today, one of the greatest movies of all time, released

[Blood on Blood]

Ignore blood on blood. He thinks first blood movie is better than gladiator movie.

Juan - has nothing to do with the movies.

John Rambo is more skilled and versitile than Marcus Aurelius.

[Blood on Blood]

Wouldn’t take this Rambo vs Aurelius serious

 

[Blood on Blood]

If Dark Knight is considered the #1 super hero movie of all time, would Logan” be a top 5 (i.e., mentioned in the same sentence)?

 

[Mook]

Logan would def be top 5 superhero.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Where do th first generation of Superhero movies fit in; such as Zorro (silent film), Flash Gordan, Batman, Superman, Capt America of the 1940s and prior?

 

[DEEZUZ]

They don't.

Shut up.

 

[Spivitz]

Christian did good too imo

TDK>Rambo

 

[Marko]

One of my favorite things is this movie was filmed in Chicago

 

[Marko]

Clint Eastwood is a fucking Hollywood Icon. His Dirty Harry movies and westerns are the best.

But it’s apples and oranges comparing.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Hmm..

[Blood on Blood]

I feel like i'm on trial but essentially what I said a few posts up...I mean "best of all time" is going to vary person to person.

For me, its a movie I can watch countless times and not be bored. Story is hugely important BUT it doesnt need to be super deep to always be amazing. It can easily be simple but told in a smart way, if that makes sense.

Dialog is big for me. A movie can be great but quickly ruined by shitty dialog which in turn delivers a shitty performance from an actor. Also needs to have a true ending..it can have sequels and whatever, but it needs to have a satisfying conclusion....and for that matter, is needs to have a solid first, second and final act - so good flow. A lot of movies start strong and then spiral by trying to cram too much story or character backstory which weighs it down. You can turn that around too....some movies spend the first hour or more hand holding and making sure EVERYTHING has a back story and then when it finally gets good, you only get a taste.

I'm SUPER picky with movies and like things that others might strongly disagree with (see me and Sprayin squabbling).

I dont think there is a set criteria, if you want the cliff note version.

But I do feel in another 10 years, TDK will still be referenced as a game changer.

To add and help justify as one of, if not the #1 super hero films, is the movie can also be argued as one of the top tier villain films too (exceeds in both roles).

They don't.

Shut up.

Stop being a mentally challenged twink for a few minutes and pass the cherry coke.

John Rambo is more skilled and versitile than Marcus Aurelius.

Considering the tools available to each character:

The Dark Knight has an endless budget and alien type tech for weapons and the infamous belt.

Rambo had uzis and fully auto Ak47

Gladiator had a sword

Gladiator > Dark Knight > Rambo

Alex, what am I supposed to split off?

LMAO. I had to delete. Quick timing though. Lol

I've lost count of how many times ive watched this movie in the last 10 years. It's just one of those must watch movies whenever its on.

Patton Oswalt had a theory about the jokers backstory that I absolutely LOVE.

“I just re-watched ‘The Dark Knight’ and another wrinkle came to mind about The Joker: What if he’s not only ex-military, but ex-military intelligence? Specifically — interrogation? He seems to be very good at the kind of mind-fuckery that sustained, professional interrogation requires. His boast about how ‘I know the squealers’ when he sees one. The way he adjusts his personality and methods depending on who he’s talking to, and knowing exactly the reaction he’ll get.”

I may just have to rewatch my 4k bluray of this movie this weekend. Again.

As long as we can agree Keaton was the best Batman I’ll accept this

Kevin Conroy is the best batman followed by Adam West. Though I would accept Adam West as the Best Batman. Conroy is Drama, and West is Humor.

I will also give Peter Weller 4 stars for his performance as Batman in The Dark Knight Returns two parter.

But I was not disappointed with Keaton's batman.

Christian Bale is a pale imitation of the two.

 

[Mook]

The unreasonable hate Bale gets, especially for these movies, is laughable.

Conroy aside, who is THE Batman....I dont think Id rather see anyone else play him. Keaton being a close second.

Its mostly because of the terrible "I'm Batman" voice. His Bruce Wayne is great.

The Terminator would terminate all of them

Read what I posted about that. There was a extremely valid reason for it. And after begins, it really wasn't even his fault.
