Slow motion and bullet time is the way to go. :up:

Toss in some ripple effects and it'd be grand. :word:

the style was fine. the filming of it was just ok. needed to pull back in some of the shots. the editing was bad. the cuts between shots were too quick. unrealistically quick. Batman kicks a guy, now he's two strides away from where he was just standing tackling him. I'm fine with it being, for the most part, up close. just have it play out in real time instead of hyper speed time.
 
I say use both use the bourne type action camera angles when there is a sense of urgency involved. Otherwise regular, and for the last fight of the movie, regular.
 
I don't understand why people dislike the Begins fight scenes so much. He's Batman, you're not supposed to see him coming because he's a ninja.

And have you seen the fight scenes in the earlier movies? He tries to kick someone and he has to move his back to a right angle to get his leg 3 feet in the air!

I for one can't stand the overstylized Matrix-style fight scene. It's ridiculous, and it takes away from the rest of the movie. No more slow motion bullets or any of that crap, please.

There's too much importance placed on how someone fights in movies these days, and not enough emphasis on why he fights.
 
the fighting itself was fine, like I said, it was the editing. if you watch it, between shots that are chunks of time missing. I can understand it in the docks/Falcone scene, but the fight inside the monorail had too much of it.
 
I'll take it either way. There was something raw and powerful about the editing of the fight scenes...keeps you a little off-balance. My concern is I don't want the fights to look too choreographed.
 
I'd like to actually see Batman fighting the Joker and his goons. So, I choose option 2.
 
Please, nof fightimng in the dark maybe a chance scene when Batman reaches his penthouse.
 
People talk about the intensity of the scenes, but I feel they lost a lot of intensity because it was just overdone. There is such a thing as too much, and when you edit the footage down to split seconds of unclear actions that could be spaced lord-knows-how-long between each other, it starts harming the production instead of helping it. After a few seconds of watching a fight scene in Begins, I'm completely thrown out of the scene and just waiting for the conclusion. I hated the final confrontation on the train for this fact alone, since the quick edits made the fight more annoying, not interesting. It just caused a complete lack of suspense for me, and I actually was happy when most of the later fights were finished. If I'm happy that an action scene is over, thats a bad thing for me.
 
Not when it comes to Joker.


Minor thugs and lackeys? Fine. I want to see it from their perspective. But not the major villains.

My thoughts exactly. I'm cool with a quick, 3 second scene of him taking thugs or henchmen down, but I wanna actually see him beat the living hell out of the Joker.

EXACTLY. the dock fight was fine, it was the first fight batman has but to do ALL the fights like that including the CLIMAX?!:huh:

no offence but even the fight with peter parker/norman osborn in the mansion was better than the fights in BB, at least you could 'SEE' it.
 
I want to see batman shake and bake with every villain big or small. It's a movie afterall. There's no dramatic music playing in real life but that's because real life is boring, hence why movies are cool.

Lol, Adam West is the man!

On topic though, I think the fight scenes will be improved over BB. All it will take is scooting the camera back a little and letting us see what's going on. I want to see Batman smacking people around! :batman:
 
Nope, i dont want the fights to be crappy like in begins. i want them to get back to the original batman movie type fights, where you could actually see the fights, only useing the martial arts stuff from begins.
 
seriously i want to be able to see the fight sceens, someone needs to tell the camera guy to zoom out and hold the camera still lol
 
The fights don't need to be so disorienting to appear "brutal". The fights in Casino Royale were brutal enough without being so rapidly edited and closely shot.

I guess they should preserve the fighting technique, but only pull back a little bit so that people can see the action.
 
They have to improve it. That was one negative thing about BB. Sin Citys Marv was hard, if Bats could kick like him in a more visible style. Pull back the camera and better editing. Visible action, but no flip flops double tops.
 
I would like to see both

When fighting thugs Bats should move fast without being seen (like in the comics)

But When fighting villians, we should see him clearly .
