[QUOTE="73X"][QUOTE="xaos"]Oh noez, someone has a different opinion on a matter of pure taste! Call the National Guard!Guaracy-Well, his opinion is WRONG. Dead wrong. Funny story, true story: de gustibus non est disputandum!
Nope, not in the slightestContrary to popular belief, opinions can, at times, be wrong.[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="Guaracy-"] Still pretty wrong.TGM_basic
This is one of those times.
Asserting a contrary opinion does not show an opinion to be wrong.Oh noez, someone has a different opinion on a matter of pure taste! Call the National Guard!xaos
Exactly.
Someone please give this poster a 'Good use of common sense' Gamespot emblem! :D
I have no problem with opinions but I do hate people like him, I don't see how you can possibly be taken seriously as a reviewer when you spend the whole review talking about how pretentious you think someone is, not even talking about the movie in any meaningful way and coming off as a pretentious **** yourself.bobbetybobIt's an unwritten rule that whenever you deem something 'pretentious', you come across as pretentious yourself. And I don't care what this guy thinks.
I thought Dark Knight was overrated.
The Joker and Harvey Dent storylines were great - but the rest of the movie was kinda stupid. Batman himself is very stupid and I felt like his only purpose was to give the Joker something to do.
Honestly, I thought if they remade the movie without Batman in it it would have been awesome. Batman looks like more of a clown then the Joker does IMO.

Also - killing off Harvey was almost as bad as Tim Burton killing off the Joker.
"Like other Christopher Nolan head scratchers-the brainless Memento, the perilously inert Insomnia, the contrived illusionist thriller The Prestige, the idiotic Batman Begins and the mechanical, maniacally baffling and laughably overrated The Dark Knight-this latest deadly exercise in smart-aleck filmmaking without purpose from Mr. Nolan's scrambled eggs for brains makes no sense whatsoever. Is it clear that I have consistently hated his movies without exception, and I have yet to see one of them that makes one lick of sense."
Clearly this Rex Reed isn't too bright if he fails to make sense of any of Nolan's films.

I found it kinda funny how he is criticising Nolan because The Prestige "doesn't make sense", he clearly doesn't realise Christopher Nolan didn't come up with the story and the book it's based on makes even less sense.Christopher Nolan is a fanstasic Director. However, I do not think that he is a fantasic Writer. Good, but not great.
Films like The Prestige and The Dark Knight are beautifully shot and incredibly entertaining films, but fundamental story flaws keep them from being truly classic films, in my opinion.
My favorite Nolan film is Insomnia, and that is the only film Nolan has directed on which he is not credited as a Writer.
Batman Begins is a close second, and while Nolan is credited as one of the writers, he shares the credit with David Goyer, who wrote Dark City and the Blade series.

:P
He couldn't make sense from the Prestige? I thought it wrapped up pretty well. The only thing that made me angry about that movie was they used Tesla's Copy-Anything machine as a stage act.cd_romThe machine showed the extent of Rupert Angier's obsession with figuring out Alfred Borden's technique and copying it in order to make an even better trick. I don't see what's wrong with that.

I think he was talkinga bout when it came to the book it self.
