Season 1 of Heroes was so good. I've rewatched it 3 times over now. Will probably again some time before the year's over.

If you change like the last 10-15 minutes of the finale you have a solid one season masterpiece.

So Batman 89's a no go for my six year old.

Scared the Christ out of him and I'd actually forgotten how violent it really was, at least on the front end. We made it about 1/4 of the way through. Shame because I was appreciating certain parts of it. But then again, also found myself recalling why I never cared for it that much.

What a really, really odd film that is.

:colbert: Your child is broken, get a new one.

Just kidding, he is probably still too young for such movies. I was 8 when I watched it back in the cinema and had one hell of a time. Mostly because it was the first big Batman movie back in that decade. But the again, my parents allowed me to watch movies like 80's The Fly, so.... :stare:

I was about that young when it came out and my parents wouldn't let me see it. It's one of my favorite movies still. I knew the story almost completely because I had full sets of the Topps trading cards with that terrible Peepums Nasty Gum theyd give you.

It is a pretty strange movie. Keaton's Bruce Wayne is the weirdest person in the whole thing, which is saying something. The only part about it I don't like is they did a terrible job with Gordon. Between Batman 89s chubby goober and Batman 66s useless dork I didn't have a great opinion of Gordon. It's a dang good thing B:TAS didn't base their Gordon off the movie version like they had to for Penguin and Catwoman.

Haha that gum that was like a razor blade.

It really is a strange film. I had mixed feelings about when I first saw it and felt the same way this last time. It's highs are really high and then other parts are just...I don't know how to put it..."off"? A lot of it just "misses" somehow but not by any valid critique I can drum up. I admit that's a dumb thing to say but I can't word my issues with it for some reason.

It's like the sum of the parts didn't add up as a whole somehow.

And yeah, to whoever asked, BvS was really nice to look at. Visually I had zero issues with it aside from CGI end boss.

I saw Batman '89 in like Kindergarten, when my only point of reference was Adam West reruns. I remember mostly just being very confused by something called Batman where the first 30 minutes was gangsters in suits taking and almost no Batman.

Wow these are some terrible clips. As good as the action and stunts were in SP2, here they're completely shoddy. SP3 was bad all around. I wish they had bothered using real life stunt men in the Harry fight, its something the Cap movies are pretty good about.

It's been 10 years and I still can't work out Spider-Man 3. Was it Sam Raimi deliberately taking the piss because he didn't want to do most of what Sony wanted him to do in it?

Sam Raimi tried to cram in the studio's venom movie and his ill-advised Sandman movie into a single feature so the result is a bunch of disjointed scenes that don't have much of a narrative or tonal connection, where plotlines just get resolved by absurd coincidences. Mix in Raimi's taste for camp, and it's one weird loving movie.

Execs decided to meddle with the movie and instead of relenting, Raimi tried to meld two totally incompatible things into one movie. He should've just done the Venom movie. I know it's not what he wanted, but like...too bad, I guess? Suck it up and do a good film. It's not like they forced the Hypno Hustler on him.

Netflix's Death Note was surprisingly fine. 6 or 7/10. It should have been a series and not a movie - it rushed through a lot and would have definitely benefited from cliffhanger endings. Agreed that it gets a lot better near the end.

There's only one thing I hate in that movie, the Robin/Ivy fight where they edit in reverse looped footage real bad. It's the laziest thing I've ever seen in a Schumaker film and I can't believe that made final cut. Also Bane is pretty lame.

Things I love:
Bat nipples
Alfred's speech about Batman's motivation
Bat credit cards
Me Freeze wearing polar bear slippers and a robe watching Christmas specials in his frozen lair while his henchmen freeze their asses off
The loving pose Batman does for no one in particular when he captures Freeze
Freeze puns
That old lady played by the wife of the creator of Batman who keeps telling everybody she knows other important people
Ivy's burlesque routine in a gorilla suit
The giant statues all over the place in Gotham
That dog that gets frozen peeing on a fire hydrant
Bat skates
The whole arc of Robin wanting to take more responsibility and Batman treating him like a kid but learning he has to trust him
Ivy's origin with John Glover hamming it up
George Clooney is the most charming Bruce Wayne to date, and the most charming Batman though generally you don't want him to be charming

Things I could take or leave: Batgirl. She's fine, but completely unnecessary
