I've got my tickets for opening day at the IMAX theatre, which IMO, is the only way to see it. Can't wait, this film is going to be epic........

or that Slither movie, they are wannabe film critics, except they lack the ability and knowledge to be able to sit back and anaylze a moive intellectualy, I mean, for example, those guys loved Hostel, which I thought was the biggest waste of my time........... they are no more then studio plants, go to their website, whatever ads they have going on their site that are for movies, they always give those movies GREAT reviews

With Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan, Batman is not only in safe hands but as primed for film history as a character this overexposed can possibly be. Over repeat viewings, the flaws become less of a problem and the virtues damn near shine.
Batman Begins rocks. It rocks pretty damn hard.
JoeQuest said:3. FOX News gives it a nuetral/negative review (but what do you expect? They probably think that Superman landing the plane in the baseball field is a criticism of how GW ran his baseball team.)

When this movie is a golden blockbuster and a proven franchise; nobody'll care what these tools think!cmill216 said:Give me a break. Why is that when someone gives a negative review for this film, you people brush it aside as if the reviewer just had some hidden agenda or something. "ZOMG! The mean man didn't like movie. He's a witch! Burn him!"![]()

however, with this fox review, i can see how this reporter may (key word is "may"...it's just an assumption) have been coerced into writing a review more towards the negative side due to the conflict of interest. i don't think fox would want anyone promoting the material of a major competitor, let alone the works of a director that could have made their last film much more successful. what kind of impression would that give?
"hey, go see superman returns. it rocks the freaking house off. the director that we pushed away made a film with our major competitor that will probably demolish our own work in a few weeks. go see it!"
negative reviews are fine...biased reviews, however, are not my cup of tea. this fox review seems just a bit jaded towards that.
again, just an opinion. no pitchforks or flaming crosses needed. =)

I´m generally okay with Nick - dunno what´s his problem with SR, though - but Devin I can´t stand. I think CHUD tends to go overboard with the sarcasm thing, they tend to sound like British press, always cynical about every movie, "we´re cooler than this" kind of attitude. I stopped reading them cuz of that.hitmanyr2k said:Ummmm yeah. I guess that's why Nick wrote this to end his Batman Begins review....
Some of you need to take a look in the mirror. This board itself is starting to remind me of AICN when it comes to just spewing crap.
