Godfather II vs. Empire Strikes Back vs. LOTR Trilogy vs. Batman Begins

[Poetic Chaos]

This is nothing more than to see the audacity of Batman Begins fanboys. And for the slight chance to see BB lose a poll for the first time.

What is with these threads...

 

[cryptic name]

stupid.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

What is with these threads...

this guy is envious of how good a movie Batman Begins is

which it is, but it is not in the league of most of these movies

 

[Stringer]

Ridiculous thread.

 

[BloodyWolverine]

I don't care what single movie you put up there. YOu cannot expect one film to be better then the whole Rings Trilogy. Now if it was an indvidual movie of the trilogy maybe. Even though Batman Begins comes in a close second. Now way it beat all three movie in my opinion.

 

[Sloth7d]

Wow, what a loaded poll. Individual movie vs individual movie vs a trilogy. Yeah thats fair.

 

[The Kid]

Schindler's List

 

[heypapajinx]

Ridiculous thread.

seriously... these movies aren't even comparable in the least.

 

[mister Lennon]

This comparation its pretty stupid because they are different movies, diferent times, different generes, etc.

But from that list, the godfather part two is my favourite because i just think that its the best sequel of all time and one of the best movies ever.

I think first Godfather movie is the best, sequel was good and third was crap.

i know.
anyone who DOESN'T pick that one is a fool
A FOOL I SAY!
first of all, three movies shoudn't even be compared to just one, so that rules out the LOTR Trilogy
Batman Begins is brand new where as Empire and Godfather have already proven to stand the test of time, so that rules that one out.
and Godfather II actually made careers for two of the largest known actors on this planet!! DeNiro AND Pacino.
c'mon!

 

[mister Lennon]

Well, i think that godfather first part is one of the best movies ever, second part is a little better for a hair, third one isnt crap, is a very good movie but not in the same league than first and second part.

i would go as far as to say the third one is terrible.
it was not consistent with the first two and Pacino had already started overacting by that point.

 

[mister Lennon]

I could say that the third one has its faults, Pacino isnt as brillaint as in the other two and sometimes he overacts , george hamilton is a poor replacement for robert duvall and sophia coppola isn an actress. But for the rest i would say that its a pretty good movie with a interesing plot. But for sure it could be better and isnt a honorable end for such a legendary triology.

 

[heypapajinx]

sophia coppola isn an actress.

oh but boy can she direct

 

[November Rain]

i'm not really a godfather film but it's the best film listed in that poll.

take away the twist in empire and it's a fairly average viewing...

no story is worth over 9 hours of being told, especially one with this LOOMING threat that is dispatched with so easily in return of the king. Heck, the Two towers had a more gruelling battle to watch. What a completely overrated enemy...

and begins is laughable.

 

[heypapajinx]

and begins is laughable.

you take that back!
before i sock you in the nose!!

 

[mister Lennon]

Sophia Coppola is a great director and not an actress at all. Sadly, she didnt have this thing clear at the begining of her career , but know she has it clear.

Also, godfather part three was in risk because winona ryder refused the part in last minute, and Coppola didnt find any actress for the role with enough time, so he chosed his daughter.

Batman begins is a good movie, but not in the same league than the rest, but as i said, its hard to compare those movies because they are very different between them.

 

[November Rain]

you take that back!

ah c'mon...

it's practically a comedy by the end of it...

oh, i suppose you mean the parts with Katie Holmes/Cillian Murphy.
then yes, i agree.
but if you're talking about the part where (i get choked up) Gordon says

"i never said thank you"​

and Bruce says

"and you'll never have to"​

then you are just wrong
wrong
wrong
wrong

 

[mister Lennon]

Batman Begins has great dialogue and pretty good lines. Surely, 10% of the lines are poor, but the other 90% its great.

the part that makes me just shake my head is "there is nothing to fear but fear itself"... then screaming like a girl

uhhhh, i don't THINK sooo!!!

i mean the whole end fight starting from the scarecrow riding up on a horse and getting hit and going off, and all the train parts of it.

with so much build up, it was all one big let down...I don't think he should have actually become batman at all in this film until right at the end of it, and I mean RIGHT at the end speaking to Gordon.

i know you know how many boys would have rioted at that thing if that had been the case.
i think it was very well done... i'm just glad Scarecrow and Dawes wont be in the next one.
but you are right. it's no Godfather.
