Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Oh, jeezuz, that's true - tell your wife there's no hope, jye4ever!
Is it just me, or does it seem like a new trend in Hollywood to take a single book and work it into two flicks for twice the box office take, i.e. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", that "Vampire/werewolf/Harlequin-romance-crap-that-must-not-be-named" series, and now "The Hobbit"...

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Actually, 50% of me agrees with that assessment, but then the other 50% punches me in the nuts!
Nolan has shown us what can be acheived with a Superhero property, so it's hard to accept mediocracy after that.
Yet here I am, still excited for the Avengers.
Maybe void is right, worth the lolz.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
Harry Potter needed it. There would be some pissed off fans if they left enough out of the movie to make it one film. The Hobbit, not so much, but I'm fine with it cause you can easily split it in two. As for erm, the other series, it's a trend in hollywood that will most likely pick up even more after it.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
I agree about the Avengers as well. The last couple of Marvel flicks could have been awesome, but they just weren't. Cap was a HUGE disappointment for me. Such a filler movie, long and useless. The Avengers will be fun to watch but it will definitely not be the best of 2012 in movies. Not even close.

Imo the only comic character that ever worked on the big screen was/is Batman. All others were mediocre at best, including the Siderman/Ironman flicks.

Most likely, what will ultimately be the best film of 2012 isn't even being discussed on this site yet. Chances are it won't be a "geek" or genre film.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
I've heard a lot about this "Prometheus" movie seems to be creating quiet hype.
2012 will definitely be the best year of movies in a while though. The last couple years have been hit with sleeper hits but nothing too special (besides avatar).

For us geeks - it'll be between Hobbit and TDKR
Who cares about what the rest of the world thinks
Though I will note The Return of the King was easily the best film of its yr (and rightly got the recognition) and IMO TDK was the best film of 2008 too.

TDKR and Prometheus for me.
2012 should be a great year for movies either way.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
At first I thought it was just you Yanks yet again, not being able to grasp the Queen's English however after watching the preview @ IMAX, I have to ask: WHAT THE FECKIN ____ was Tom Hardy saying throughout that scene?!
Looked okish overall but slightly underwhelmed

Mine would be: TDKR, Lincoln, Expendables 2, Amazing Spiderman.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises
I might have been excited about Avengers if Norton hadn't been replaced for Banner, but I don't like the new choice so the only one left I really like is RDJ as Iron Man so I'll just rent that one at some point.
By the way, I know people felt all but certain he'd be in it, but Morgan Freeman is in the credits of the TDKR trailer so Fox will definitely be back.
