Batman Begins

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

I've just seen the best Batman movie ever.

Batman Begins was undoubtedly the best Batman movie ever. Pity one of the main plot points - "a focused microwave emitter designed to dry up an enemy's water supply" - blew like a two dollar whore.

Microwave ovens cook food (and cats) by emitting radio waves in the 2.5 GhZ range. Radio waves in this frequency range are absorbed by water, fats and sugars. Once absorbed, this energy is converted into atomic motion AKA heat.

Unfortunately the script writers, while researching the idea of a "focused microwave emitter", must have stood too close to a faulty microwave oven and boiled what little brain tissue they hadn't yet dissolved with crack cocaine. A microwave emitter of that size would not just boil water supplies. It would boil any water, fats or sugars within range. Including those stored in human (or semi-human when it comes to Hollywood script writers) bodies.

Added to this, 2.5GhZ radio waves are deflected by metal. This is why the metal buckle on your cat's collar sparks up while the rest of the cat boils. METAL YOU DICKHEADS! That stuff the water pipes in the movie were made out of. That shit just makes me want to go down to the nearest TAFE and donkey-punch a creative writing student.

Basic science mistake aside:

The villain was Piss-Weak. Or "Liam Neeson" as he was referred to in the credits.

Dialog in the early scenes where Piss-Weak (who is actually Raas Al Ghul - spoiler) spanked his monkey all over his own wisdom was lifted almost straight from that lame Oracle bitch in The Matrix.

Fuck Hollywood script writers shit me. Hollywood script writers and tossy independant film script writers. And stinky-arse cats.

[mr smooth]

TMNT = cool :thumbsu:

[jimmy35]

It was okay . Batman > Superman .

The dark side appeals to me.

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

Rubbish it was the best one. The old ones were just an upgrade on the campy 60s series.

Nah,they were plain fucking boring,though the one with Tommy Lee Jones-no2?-wasnt as bad as the rest of the crap with Micheal Keaton.

Now THAT was the best Batman movie.

Spiderman > Batman

Now THAT was the best Batman movie.

"Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb."Hahaha. My nephew got a hold of that when he was young. The number of re-enactments that saw me upside down off the edge of the couch pretending to hand him the Bat-Shark Repellent...

[Piston Broke]

Waaaay better than any other Batman out there, the question for me is if the series can stay dark and good in the next one. I can easy see it turning to shit.

Spiderman > Batman

The Crimson Chin >>>>>>>>> Spiderman

[Bombers 2003]

The Crimson Chin
The "crimson chin"?

Michael Keaton as Batman? FFS!

[Swamp]

So what did you think of the sequel cheif? Any plot points in TDK that you feel need the treatment?

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

Haven't even seen it yet. Might go tomorrow. On my own :(

[SonOfReep]

Yeah I haven't seen it yet either.

[Clouse]

Movies on tuesdays are cheaper...I think Reep and Chief are trying to tell us they're really cheapskates. Then again...i usually go on tuesdays :S

Chief did you delete my 2nd thread? or are they not posting? Shattered if you did...

[SonOfReep]

Well I have an interesting catch 22 because I have no mates but also refuse to go to the movies alone.

Perhaps I will never see it?

[Clouse]

Pay off someone from TLC to come with you?

[Swamp]

Well you're both missing out i reckon, it's better then the first one. There prob a few shitty hand-cams up for download if you want to save yourself the humilliation, reep. Or you could just make it a point to tell the ticket chick and everyone in the theatre that you are a reviewer for a shitty website that is being paid to go by yourself. Then try to sob quietly.

[jaxxon]

The latest one was awesome, I'm a big fan, best one so far by a long way.

And Reep, shouldn't you be forcing an articled clerk (or whatever your minions are called) to go to the movies with you?

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

Saw it today at Carindale.

I agree - awesome movie if slightly long. No plot points stood out as ridiculously unbelievable. Pity they killed off one of the bad guys.

23 1/2 stars.

[jaxxon]

It was quite long, but I didn't think it went overly long, it carried itself well over the timeframe. Not too many criticisms at all, if only Heath could reprise his role, he was superb.

[Roger the Cabin Boy]

I swear they cut out two violent bits though. The timing jumped too quickly just as The Joker was about to do something gruesome to the black crime boss.
