Political terms are not needed in blockbuster entertainment.

I disagree.

Some of the greatest films are political in nature. Just because they are not one persons idea of what is correct politically does not mean the art of filmmaking should keep politics out. Thats whats known as censorship.

Apocalypse Now
The Godfather
Jaws
First Blood
Star Wars
Platoon
Braveheart
Dances with Wolves
Close Encounters
even ET

Hell , just about every great film is RIFE with political theme…..just cause sone people do not agree with the current political push in films does not mean it should be abandoned.

Id say those folks should stick with films that make them feel safe.

I took a quick look at it. Interesting, but ultimately a waste of anyone's time.

I have memorized it. You are mentioned.

Don't need to bring the "white privelege" term to a Batman film period. Many members on this board have stated that as well. You gave examples of political films, not stating what politically charged terms were used in them. Pretty sure anyone wanting to watch a Batman movie wants to get away from hearing specific terms like that. Don't think anyone will tell you even politics in general made SW better LOL!

Thought you seen it 3 times? I can't wait to see it again.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, wasn't Jye headed to his 3rd viewing at one point? I remember being impressed.

[Wor-Gar]

#MeToo.

My son has seen it 4x. I fear he may have become more Bat-obsessed than me!

Edit: Oh just saw your recalculation

According to your posts in the DC action figures threads you were busy ordering HT's Deluxe The Batman Set, Bat Signal and Batcycle. Paid for them in full too. You were simply ecstatic over your purchases.

It's funny, even though I would have preferred the original Battfleck movie this one is closer to a quintessential Batflick for me.

Just got back from seeing this and I thought it was excellent.

Finally a Batman movie about the Batman! Being the world's greatest detective, fighting crime and not being over reliant on gadgets. This felt far more real and grounded than any of the Nolan films to me. Really film-noir, pulpy and intriguing with terrific cast.

I'm actually starting to dig the suit too!

Which of course means I'm about to spaff 300 odd bucks on the Hot Toys 1/6 scale figure....
