Never saw that movie and dont care to. I never even inferred that I was comparing, the two, Miller's only Batman work was in print.

If movies are not enjoyable and fun, what the fuck reason is there to watch them? They aren't educational. Just want to be a sadistic mother fucker, do we?

And I was comparing director to director, movie to movie. As such, Miller sucks. Given his work on the books I had hopes for the movie. Unfortunately it was a movie that not even Eva Mendes's semi-naked body could save. Maybe if she'd been completely naked......

The point of Batman is to show a guy who lost a lot, and transformed himself in order to help people. Along with his girlfriend who actually cares about the city and about doing what's right. It's a morality play. It's not supposed to be just explosions and special effects. And I don't give a fuck about the previous versions of Batman. They sucked in comparison. Kind of like how Roger Moore sucked compared to Daniel Craig. A real secret agent would actually know how to fight, and would need to take his job deadly serious, not be cracking stupid jokes all the time. Entertainment is only one aspect of movies. Another aspect is to be inspired by them. A movie like Ace Ventura is a great comedy, and sure it's great entertainment, but it doesn't inspire anyone or cause them to wonder or develop their values. There is a time & place for every type of movie. Last edited by Homeslice; 07-31-2012 at 08:12 PM.. |
