(Say what you will about Avatar, but the VFX were genuinely great.) In essence: Avoid this gaudy, poorly conceived CGI mess. Thor may not be 8 1/2, but it'll at least look good, which I expect, as everyone should, out of a movie that costs a hundred and fifty million dollars. (Iron Man, The Dark Knight and Spider-Man may or may not be great movies, but at least they claim they look better than Green Lantern.) And Nolan's approach is very weird. "You want to adapt Batman." *Nolan nods his head. "And you want it thoroughly rooted in reality?" *Nolan nods again. "And you want to root out all sexuality?" *Nolan nods a third time "And you don't think fans will read any of your decisions critically?" *Nolan shakes his head. "And you don't think that this will turn all non-action scenes into a bunch of philosophical talking heads?" *Nolan shakes his head. "You're hired." It's better than what Schumacher did, but it feels like just another a studio cop-out and disservice, yet in the opposite direction. Firefly, Ivy, Freeze, The Lazarus Pit. Sorry, but I'd want to see what someone thinks of these elements of the Batman myth. The Joker's a natural element (the one villain I can say has to be tackled at some point in any Batman adaptation.) Of course, The Schumacher Villains would jump to the head of my list, as they've jumped to the front of every fan's list. However, Nolan could only reasonably do Riddler. That takes you to Batman 3, but leaves off fixing perceptions of the worst movie in the series. The reason that Nolan hates it is probably different than every other Bat-Fan. (i.e.Poison Ivy and Mister Freeze shouldn't even exist in a reasonable BatVerse.)Volvagianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-43976326035942728742010-11-18T15:21:40.994-05:002010-11-18T15:21:40.994-05:00Well, I'm almost always maybe so on this sort ...Well, I'm almost always maybe so on this sort of thing, but I have to say, this looks really interesting in a way that no one else seems to have commented on.<br /><br />It seems like a fully-fleshed superhero/fantasy world, and you just never get that in comic book movies. Mostly, you get a superhero, and a corresponding supervillain (then 3 or 4 such villains in the sequel) and everyone and everything else is decidedly normal. "Gritty." "Real world." Because Batman is SO MUCH more plausible that way. ::eyeroll::<br /><br />What I love about this is the wave upon wave of aliens and other worlds and Watchers and strange beings of all types. Sure, it intrudes into and alters Hal Jordan's ordinary life, but <i>not just by giving him powers</i>. That's genuinely unusual in the superhero movie genre. <br /><br />In that sense, it's not Iron Man, not Batman, not Spider-Man, not any of them, but uniquely Hal Jordan who flies around planets with a magic ring.
