It’s pretty forgettable! Not a badly made film just feels pointless and doesn’t really go anywhere. Think they tried to make it a brooding character study but Macfadyen doesn’t quite have the depth for it and it just doesn’t really come off. Although not all his fault. It’s a shame cause there is a great story in there. Outlaw king was great and gets close but still feel that could have been grander.
For me It’s tough to pick between begins and TDK as I think they complement each other very well but for me TDK is prob the better film but would not begrudge anyone picking begins. I think TDK is just that bit sharper in terms of story telling and production although the high budget increase helps and yeah the joker prob does tip it. Still get the same boyish excitement that did in cinema when he flips that joker card over at the end of begins though!!!
I prefer GOTs by far but also loved the early seasons of the walking dead. To me TWD felt it they almost started writing it like right would loook really cool and we can patch characters and story around it later! Some of the character decisions later on in the show were beyond stupid! And just stuff like like one episode the dispatch a mini hoard is minutes to show how “bad ass” and hardened the original characters had become the next there is a massive drawn out scene where they are struggling to take out 2 walkers! It just got lazy for me
If only!! Everyone was joking that bran would wake up and it was all his dream form his coma after thrown from the window! That would probably have been better than what we actually got!! Haha
Might as well just gone all out and have Ayra win and final scene she sits on throne, then takes a face off and it’s Ethan Hunt.... DUN DUN DUNDUN DOODLE DOOOO DODDLE DOOO
Will look and aged so much better too!!
I have watched a chunk of season one they are married and just found out they are trying to raise funds for the rebellion! Which is the part I am drawn too. I was a thing myself too and without doubt the mrs walked through at every... passionate scene and got the expected “what are you watching!!!” It’s a proper show promise hahaha
You done enough to convince me haha! If I change my mind after watching I will let you know haha :P
I think a lot of lure is that it’s not clear what happened in his mind and what has actually happened! To me that was the joker telling a doctor a story of how he became the joker but like ledgers scars stories who knows what of it was real or not. Could also explain the time line issues in that he could have been caught and put there by batman and we are seeing an older jokers retelling and so he was actually a lot younger at the time so closer in age to batman I don’t know people have taken different things from it
It’s an interesting film and worth a watch I would say. I enjoyed it and JP is brilliant but it is no where near as good as the hype! It does borrow heavily from king of comedy and taxi driver, it can be a little forced in places and drags slightly but worth a watch. I am a fan of batman and the joker characters but yeah you could almost tag any popular villain on it (within reason it wouldn’t work with Vader haha)
I am from Scotland and it splits people here also! Taking the politics out of it it is a brilliantly made film. The Intensity of the battle scenes is something I think very few have been able to recreate and it’s very good against the odds film that leaves you fired up. Also being Scottish I guess its heightened for me but I suppose I can see the argument against it as it uses the inaccuracies to achieve this! The almost tribal Scots farmers in the kilts and limited armoury against the evil empire of England with the force of the heavy armoured regimented English forces type scenario. I still love it though haha. Of course it would have been interesting if could have been a more historical accurate film. However the way I look at is it’s a gateway to history. It was on a massive stage and if even a slight percentage of the viewing audience then went on to read the actual history then great. If not then people who didn’t know the history still don’t know the history haha. I liked outlaw king which while is still a film based on historical events is still a lot closer but If nobody watches it you could argue Braveheart did more by being less or am I stretching!!! Hahaha
