Apparently this positive review wasn't positive enough for that Nolan fanboy.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-23979820541966942002012-07-28T23:09:57.648-04:002012-07-28T23:09:57.648-04:00Chip is a doucheChip is a doucheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-11910810537691460712012-07-28T22:08:58.049-04:002012-07-28T22:08:58.049-04:00Good review!

I think you did because you focused on physicality - Bane was actually intelligent and in comic books he knew languages and a great deal of things. He wasn't jsut violent force. I really liked the reveal and the fact they gave him humanity - he was fighting because he loved her. Hardy's acting was exceptional in this scene. The Joker as great as he was didn't have humanity, maybe it made him scarier but it also made him simpler. For me the fact that there is no stand out performance is a plus - in tDK The Joker was so good everyone looked average in comparision. Here it's more balanced.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-5348908065401217892012-07-27T23:51:05.578-04:002012-07-27T23:51:05.578-04:00Thanks.

Thank you very much for the kind words.
To ...Wow! Thank you very much for the kind words.<br /><br />To be honest I hadn't picked up a "stream of consciousness" vibe from your writing. As long as it's got punctuation in it to break up the stream, it comes across fine. It's when someone writes in a pseudo-texting format that I sometimes get the urge to ask for a translation, although I never do.<br /><br />If this helps, I first write the post in a Word document on my computer, rather than directly in the blog. This serves two purposes. First, it lets me get my initial thoughts out, which I then re-read and edit. Second, it provides a backup of the post if anything should ever happen to the blog.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-80977029612079029372012-07-26T19:34:02.588-04:002012-07-26T19:34:02.588-04:00Fantastic entry!

It's bloggers like you that make me realize that I really need to step up and stop writing in stream-of-consciousness format and really treat writing my entries as if I were submitting to an actual editor. Hahaha. One of these days (hopefully soon) I'll get it right.<br /><br />Anyway, you're spot on about a lot of things, and I see we really agree with what we thought of the movie. In fact, you basically echo my thoughts exactly, only you word it MUCH better. :) <br /><br />Hope to see you around my site again sometime, and I will surely keep an eye on yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-4058205764498828652012-07-25T15:23:47.183-04:002012-07-25T15:23:47.183-04:00"Hopefully, this means he’s off to doing more..."Hopefully, this means he’s off to doing more original pieces of work like Inception or The Prestige."<br /><br />I agree. While the Batman films were entertaining, I would place Memento and Inception as his two best films.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-62989293213033614782012-07-24T23:21:58.165-04:002012-07-24T23:21:58.165-04:00This is a very brave piece of work here given by C...This is a very brave piece of work here given by Christopher Nolan and he shows that he can pull-off a near-perfect trilogy, even if a lot of people don’t want to see him go. Hopefully, this means he’s off to doing more original pieces of work like Inception or The Prestige. Good review Chip.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
