Now, I'm getting addicted to Letterboxd, and I'm considering switching everything to a 5 star scale on here. If I go back and do that, I'll post an update in the sidebar or something.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-3075535748990451212012-08-02T19:42:56.602-04:002012-08-02T19:42:56.602-04:00Ahhh you're a 4 star man.

Believe me, I'...I love all three of those films. Believe me, I'm probably the most surprised that I loved the film as much as I did. When I rewatched the first two Batmans, they didn't hold up well. I'd now rank them at the bottom of Nolan's filmography.<br /><br />TDKR was what I've always wanted a Batman movie and a trilogy conclusion to be. It was dark, epic, fast-paced, and completely engrossing. I mean Gotham was literally crashing down around these characters. Everything was on the line. It was more epic and more satisfying than Return of the King to me.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-27268880648444543072012-08-02T18:52:13.941-04:002012-08-02T18:52:13.941-04:00Saraband was great.

It had a theatrical release in the U.S. in 2005, so I tend to forget it was a TV movie.<br /><br />Camera Buff is an essential watch.<br /><br />Having watched it 3 times in July, The Dark Knight Rises was even better on a 2nd and 3rd viewing. I caught so much more of the minor (but crucial) details, and I admire the script even more. For me, everything essential to the story was clearly laid out and executed brilliantly. Plus, I really fell in love with the entire film, and not just the second half.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-75397324424638089252012-08-02T18:44:01.903-04:002012-08-02T18:44:01.903-04:0052?

For instance, I could see myself rewatching The Amazing Spider-Man, even though I gave it 2/4.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-14553777259546797532012-08-02T14:49:44.680-04:002012-08-02T14:49:44.680-04:00God I feel so bad I only saw about 14 movies last ...God I feel so bad I only saw about 14 movies last month, I should really cut down on TV Series :) Glad to see TDKR is also your favorite superhero film!s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030627662498151745.post-67916832789828048672012-08-02T14:06:17.411-04:002012-08-02T14:06:17.411-04:00I'm surprised by how much you loved The Dark K...I'm surprised by how much you loved The Dark Knight Rises.
