Exactly. Everyone hated MGS2 until MGS4, Halo 2 sucked until we got Halo 3, and BB is only the best in the series now that it's old. I'm sure that once we get the Batman reboot movies, TDKR criticism will dry right up and the movie will be used as a measuring stick the way BB and TDK are.
Actually I thought begins was one of the best movies I've seen from the day I watched it. And the complete opposite happened with spiderman. Once the reboot talk started everyone was quick to decide that raimi's trilogy sucked after all even after spiderman 2 did so well.
I'm sure everyone will just continue using the dark knight as the basis of a perfect batman movie though. Every review has compared rises to that and not begins.
Meh. Dark Knight was (and is) better. By leaps and bounds.
I'm just gonna come out and say it. Bane was crap, just as I expected. THEY STILL COULD'NT FIX THE VOICE AFTER ALL THAT POST PRODUCTION? There were like 2 times when he seemed 'big.' No mention of Venom (other than his addiction to morphine, but... seriously? morphine mask?) and he just wasn't scary or even believable like Joker was.
Batman: Hey, why didnt you kill me.
Bane: GARBLEGARBLEGARBLEGOTHAMGARBLEGARBLEGARBLEFARTGARBLEGARBLEGARBLEGARBLEBRUCEWAYNEGARBLEGARBLE.
Batman: What do you plan on doing with me...
Bane: GARBLEGARBLEGARBLEGOTHAMGARBLEGARBLEGARBLEFARTGARBLEGARBLEGARBLEGARBLEBRUCEWAYNEGARBLEGARBLE.
Catwoman: she was ok. But to be fair, I've never been a fan of Catwoman. She's a cheap Batman knockoff with tits. Oh, Batman has a batrope? She has a meowrope! Batman can punch real hard? She kicks real hard for a girl! Bah. Everyone swoons over her and I really just couldn't give less of a crap about Catwoman. Yes, I am in love with and will some day marry Anne Hathaway, but even then with her hotness and that perfect, perfect booty, her Catwoman was just meh. Even in the last batman game you got some free content with Catwoman to be playable. I never even clicked it on.
Also, who didn't see whatever her name is being Talia from 200 miles away? If they had left well enough alone and not had Bruce all of a sudden become a whore and sleep with one of his BOARD MEMBERS I probably would have been surprised by the Talia reveal. Especially when they started trying to mislead the viewer into thinking Bane was R'as' kid. As soon as Bruce said "Bane is his child?!" I was like... nope.
Lastly: the Robin reveal. So this kid is supposed to be John Blake. Throwing him in as "Oh my middle name is robin" was just cheap and felt like an afterthought. I like Levitt, I think he's a great actor. But... no. Him being Robin like that doesn't sit well with me.
I would love to see a Lobo movie, but it will very tricky to balance the senseless violence with just the right amount of silliness. If it's too serious, it will be bad. If the one liners aren't delivered just right, it will be bad. It would need the one liners delivered like Bruce in the Evil Dead movies.
Strange little film, this. The animation is horrendous, it seems anime is regressing in that regard.. but the film itself is watchable.. certainly there are hundreds of worse anime titles out there.

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog
It's a musical about a mad scientist/supervillian. It's written by Joss Whedon. What else is there to say? Loved it.
Yay! Back to agreeing.
I can watch Dr.Horrible (went as him for Halloween last year) any day. Still a bit jealous Nathan got to meet Felicia Day "Penny" as she seems adorable.
You're going to find yourself singing "Laundry Day" for no reason.
I'll have to watch Dr. Horrible again. I didn't dig it so much the first time around, and I've never really felt that way before about a Whedon product.
I was suprised by this one. I went in blind, and found it to be a pretty damn good movie. The effects on the apes were...a bit rougher tha I had hoped. However, the animation was superb. The story was strong, although the part dealing with
people dyeing from the second virus
seemed to be a bit underdone to me. Some small things stuck out at me as odd, like the idea of a gorilla running over the top of a car without leaving a dent. A bit unbelievable in my book. And the "Damned dirty apes" line seemed wasted in the context. I also found it funny they were watching one of the old movies in one scene.
Overall, good movie, and I have very few gripes about it.

Was the audience a "spoon throwing" group, or more of a laid back crowd?
Spoons were thrown.
Saw Dark Knight Rises
Cool stuff. Tom Hardy looked menacing as can be as Bain. Music was better than Dark Knight because I can remember a piece of it. The music where they yell rise in some foreign language with the drums, banged into my head pretty good to remember it. Not much else except this was more enjoyable than Dark Knight was.

Just got back from seeing the movie. Great movie that I recommend all Batman fans to go see. Worthy ending to the trilogy. But I still think the first 2 Batman movies were better.

Had the privilege of watching BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD.
Pure magic. It has somewhat of a Where The Wild Things Are (the book, not so much the movie) sense of wonder and imagination to it, but stays grounded in its own reality. I can see fans of PAN'S LABYRINTH immediately falling in love with BEASTS. They both have that incredible whimsy, but you don't have to worry about a hunter getting murdered for hunting wabbits (the Fudd kind). Not saying things don't die though.
Hope this gets a huge theatrical release, as the lead should win an Oscar. Had to go to IMDB in order to spell her name correctly: Quvenzhané Wallis. If she is not at least nominated, I'm fine with saying the world has gone bonkers.
If you see this playing at a theater near you, give it a chance. May not look like a movie you want to see, but trust me, it is wonderful.
