Yes Im ridiculous cause I gave the film a B, or 3 stars.

 

Its not the best film ever, sorry.

I never said it was the best film ever. You nitpicking about the bridges is ridiculous.

 

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 09:57 PM)
The ridiculous part is nitpicking about the cities which I didn't even notice, giving it a B grade is perfectly understandable.

This.

 

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 10:11 PM)
Oh the only reason I was nitpicking is cause some people were saying this was the best movie ever, and I was noting some reasons why it wasnt.

 

Just as an action comic movie those things dont matter. I just suspend reality when I watch.

Obviously, that's not the case.

I only brought that stuff up because Steve said it was the best movie ever and gave it an A+.

 

(edit)

 

The more I reread my posts Im not even sure what your issue is. I just said that Nolan not wanting to pay to film in Chicago created continuity problems. That is a fact. Not sure why that is so controversial.

But Steve hasn't said anything about this movie in a number of pages and you have multiple posts in response to no one (or to people other than Steve) talking about the disparity in Gotham between movies and how bridges aren't the same and blah blah blah. I don't get it.

You know what, I have no idea where you are going with this.

 

It wasnt filmed in Chicago, thats why it looked different.

BB was filmed in England, TDK was filmed in Chicago, TDKR was in New York.

Pittsburgh

$160.9 million for TDKR this weekend. Highest non-3D opening weekend ever.

Should have just stayed in Chicago. Probably wouldn't have even needed the CGI for this scene. A penny saved is a penny earned.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 23, 2012 -> 05:43 PM)
There really wasnt too much CGI in the first, really. Basically seeing through the eyes of the people who were on gas, and when the gas was released into the city. I love that Nolan stays away from CGI as much as he can

All of Gotham was pretty much CGI. The train going through the city looks especially bad these days.

Cities do change, but I cant name 1 city that completely lost its elevated track system or had an island disappear within 8 years.

 

Arkham was in the Narrows, its a pretty important thing to just completely forget about.

Did you see BB? Did you see how they stopped the water from being dispersed? It kinda sorta maybe involved THE ELEVATED TRAIN BEING DESTROYED.

Filming took place in various locations, including locations in Jodhpur, London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Los Angeles, New York City, New Jersey, and Pittsburgh.

you're wrong, steve.

Opinion can't be wrong. :P

I agree with Steve. Two people can't be wrong about the same thing.

I don't think it's the best movie ever, but my opinion is that it's the best of the trilogy.

I saw BB, I also saw Dark Knight. And Im pretty certain in Dark Knight you can see the EL in some scenes, so even if it was destroyed in BB, it was back by Dark Knight.

 

I rewatched them both multiple times this weekend to try and justify your "Rises" as #1, but I just couldnt do it.

 

 

If DKR is the best film, then Greg is right about Ozzie.

 

Opinions...

It's f***ing Chicago. That train is quite different from the one in BB - they aren't even remotely similar. One is a normal elevated train you see in many cities (TDK), the other is a giant one that is about 300 feet in the air. You are reaching, my friend.

The fact that the El changed from 1 to 2, doesnt explain its complete disappearance by 3. It just shows more lack of continuity in the film.

The cities look different, but it's not a big deal.

 

Every movie has a different feel to it.

Batman begins was filmed in London. These continuity errors started by going to Chicago.

I see what you're getting at here...but don't compare what you're comparing. An opinion on someone liking a movie as the best of the trilogy is far different from whatever it is that greg does with Ozzie.

Parts of Batman were filmed in London and parts were in Chicago. Wayne Enterprises was the CBOT.

Either way you didnt see the Eye in one scene and the Sears Tower in another.

Am I the only one who wants to watch it again already? (I know Slav did)
