86!

Rise!

 

[DorneyDave]

I'll say it again.

The reviews of the few people who have seen and are respected SHH! members have been glowing. That's what matters most.

 

[kvz5]

Keep climbing bruce!

Someone needs to do a manip of that GIF of Bruce climbing the prison pit and there's a 90% score at the top.

So Berardinelli, Honeycutt, Chang loved TDK more (all gave 10 ) fits with the RT's statement ok at least it's getting called THE best superhero trilogy of all time. I hope Roger Ebert ,Micheal Phillips, Claudia Puig doesn't follow suit and give it a 3.5/4. I want a 4/4 damn it. so that metacritic rating can go up. It's now on 80 down from 82.

Bruce has some inspiration now! He's climbing like a mofo!

 

[ImAlwaysAngry]

I agree. The nearest he has come to greatness. Much as I love his work, I feel about him the same way I do about Pearl Jam (stick with it). One truly great work (Vs) and a lot of good albums with some outstanding songs and some real forgettable filler. There isn't a Nolan movie that isn't flawed, but man when he hits the mark, he hits the mark. But needs to get leaner.

That's why Memento works. It's smaller, so he had less time/funds to go chasing useless side-plots.

It's also the best utilization of his puzzlebox mentality.

What I like about Phillips' review is that he said if you enjoyed BB/TDK, you will probably enjoy this one. That's good to hear, especially from someone who admittedly did not enjoy it as much as TDK. I still say Berardinelli and McWeeny have probably given us the best insight into the film's quality from a nerd perspective. If they say it's a great conclusion to the trilogy, then I'm inclined to believe them given their credibility on other nerd properties.

This. I also loved the way he brought Avengers into the discussion in the context of TDKR. Way better way of bringing both movies up in the same sentence than the typical 'one is better than the other *insert insult' crap.

Imo, my choice would be The Prestige.

The Prestige
Inception
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
Memento
Following
Insomnia

Memento.
TDK.
The Prestige.
BB.
Inception.
Insomnia.
Haven't seen following.

The Prestige has really grown in reputation since it's initial release. Think it holds up very well and Bale is fantastic in it.

 

[danoyse]

Agree. LOVE The Prestige. And it's underrated which sucks.

True. I saw it opening night, which was sold out, but it seemed like more than half the audience thought it was going to be Batman vs. Wolverine and left disappointed that it actually had a plot.

I saw it 3 times in the theater. Love that movie.

 

[kvz5]

Isn't there a TDKR special preview at the BB repeat on FX today?

 

[Cannikin]

The Donald loves TDKR

That's ok. I'll watch it anyway.

 

[RadicalNotion]

86!

Have we started a tomato?

 

[Boom]

Bring me the review from Rex Reed .

 

[aeioulul]

Have we started a tomato?

yep the tomato rises

 

[Tony Stark]

I love Memento (outstanding film) but The Prestige kicks its ass. t:

I like the Prestige, but I actually like the Illusionist (which came out about the same time) a little better, but mainly because of a kick ass performance by Paul Giamatti.

I still liked the Prestige (but the book was better)

 

[ImAlwaysAngry]

If we're ranking, I'm going

MEMENTO
BATMAN BEGINS
TDK
FOLLOWING
INSOMNIA
INCEPTION

I haven't seen The Prestige, unfortunately.

 

[Scarlettess]

agreed

Also all this talk about Prestige makes me want to watch it again....it's been such a long time

[Anno_Domini]

"What does it all mean?"

"The tomato rises."

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Are you being purposely obtuse? I'm talking about with reference to the Bat-verse. Oldman is perhaps my favorite screen actor, but what Ledger did with the Joker trumps his Gordon. I'm not saying Ledger is the best general actor in the cast, but rather that he had by far the best character and performance in the two films, so likely the most potential in any future role.

You did not make that clear whatsoever. You simply said 'Ledger was Nolan's greatest asset', and I tend to severely disagree with that opinion.

 

[redfirebird2008]

Memento - 10/10
Inception - 10/10
Prestige - 9.5/10
