Seriously I hope the Batman Begins sequel doesn't have choppy action like in the first and I hope they don't talk as much like in the first one I'm not saying I want to see a mindless action movie with no substance but he really does need to learn how to give the whole package does anyone agrees with me?
 
No, no, no.

The great thing about BB was that there wasn't something blowing up every scene after characters had a conversation. The movie had some serious depth to it, with a sprinkly of action, and the action was BADASS.

Certain films, like X3, seem almost embarassed to have serious dialogue. For instance, once characters started having conversations that related to the story, something would come crashing through a wall, or an explosion would take place, and the moment of storytelling would lost.


Don't do that. Keep up the good work, Nolan.
 
The shots of the action sequences were fine. Although I could see why people would want them shot clearer and that's fine with me. I thought the action was enough in the first one, pacing was fine, it was a perfect movie. More action would make it a mindless popcorn flick.
 
I guess your right on some point of views but I would of preffer as much action and substance as terminator 2 judgement day, terminator 2 judgement day was very wellpaced with the substance and the action put together it's a Batman film I mean Batman Begins is revolutionary and all because it's a story that has never been told before I really don't know how chris nolan and his brother are going to top Batman Begins in terms of revolutionize.
 
For the first one, exactly.
This was an introduction to Batman not Batman in his full glory.
Personally, and let the flames begin, I feel anyone that didnt enjoy having the long origin backstory of Wayne/Batman isnt really a comic book Batman fan.
I would consider them more of a movie Batman fan.
 
No I really like the introduction of Batman Begins but all I'm saying is for the second one I hope he steps it up and the action scene is a bit choppy besides I'm both a movie fan and a batman fan.
 
i agree... the action needs to be better..im not saying MORE...just better.
 
By definition there should be more action, Bats will be around the whole time and The Narrows is a mess. It's also a sequel so they'll want to bring the goodies in terms of action. But the amount of action in Begins was fine, and very cool.
 
I liked the "choppy" action sequences, it gives the illusion of a real struggle between the fighters. Plus, I think Nolan probably planned to use clearer action shots, but they just didn't look right. I thought they were great, they always made me want to see more.
 
Thw sequel doesn't need more action, but more visible action. And not all the action, just the fight scenes,begins had the perfect amount of fight scenes batman in costume had 4 fight scenes including the small tussle with scarecrow's thugs before he got lit on fire. and bruce had some cool fights too(jail fight which was awesome and the fight at the temple which rocked,bruce in ninja outfit fighting the fake ra's was super cool.

My worry is that nolan doesn't change the way he shots and cuts the fights in the sequel. other than that I think that even though its part 2, we should still see bruce have some fights without the suit and not just batman doing the fights all of the time.But Iam sure nolan will come with some new great locations for the fights to take place,I would love to see a fight in a rooftop in the rain and lightning going off while batman fights a bunch of joker's thugs or joker himself too,of course with the camera pulled back so we can see batman moving and what's he's doing.
 
The first movie has got to set it all up, then BOOM!!!!!!!!
 
they prob. didnt look right because the suit is too hard to move in....

they need to find a way to make him move

CGI? haha
oh hell no!.... maybe put a stunt guy in like spandex or a material so he could move then digitally make it look like the bat suit material.

That's true. But I think this is as good as it's going to get concerning his movement. I'm sure that if they could make him move better without the use of CGI, they would have done it. I guess Nolan chose to work around it using camera tricks and quick shots.
 
have you guys even watched the special features??


they are "choppy" because Nolan wanted to give the illusion that you cant see what hes doing.... like a horror film..
 
If anything, I'd prefer less action. The second movement of a symphony should always be more subdued than the first.

That's right. Batman is not someone that you should see much anyway, or the effect is lost. I mean he IS in a rubber suit you know.

Well there's a huge difference between what works in film and what works in a comic book. You can get away with a lot of stuff on a comic book, that just doesn't translates so well to the screen, especially with Nolan's kind of approach.
 
I'll defend Nolans choice on zooming in on the action forever. I liked it, thought it puts the audience in the fight, the experience Batman as a thug would experience him. I dont think it was the suit's immobility because the suit was quite flexible, something that demonstrated many times on various film
 
well bruce has trained for years to learn martial arts and id like to see it......or it just looks like hes wrestling mindlessly
 
Honestly, as odd as it sounds, I really don't care. I don't care how much action is in the film, and how close or far the camera is zoomed to capture that action. I just...don't go to a Batman film for action - I don't go to many films just action - and as long as BB2 is written well overall, and is a good Batman movie overall, the action scenes are rather inconsequential. To me, at least.
