It tickles me to no end that Lego Movie's Batman is probably going to cast a very long shadow over the franchise. Every attempt at a dark and gritty Batman is going to have to suffer through at least one person shouting DARKNESS! NO PARENTS! until someone finally gets the message.

And lets not forget Christian Bale was in the Machinist before Batman Begins.

I felt that the 3rd act was from a sequel to a Superman movie we never saw, it felt too big. Although I guess the allusion to Matrix 3 didn't help. I would say that the next step would be to put Supes into an ethical problem with no clearly defined bad guy, where the action of punching the...

I agree with that. In an age where it's almost expected to have every plot twist thoroughly spoiled weeks ahead of time, it's nice to see a director make an effort to keep something a secret. I've seen Into Darkness and whilst I loved it and liked the big reveal of the mystery, I can see a lot...

In my experience from what other people have said, there seems to be two reasons why people didn't like this version of the Mandarin: The comic purists that wanted The Mandarin from the comics as is and the people that didn't like it because they felt tricked. I can understand the people...

Here's my problem: With rights come responsibilities. The right to free speech, for example, comes with a responsibility to use that speech appropriately (such as not being needlessly provocative - i.e. trolls). Now, how many animals have the ability to comprehend the responsibilities that we...

Quick question to MovieBob; did he catch Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss' modern re-imagining Sherlock when it was on and if so, what did he think of it?

Completely agree about the relationship between Charles and Eric is the most important thing here. Their split has to be handled right, as a genuine conflict of interest that can never be overcome. My worst fears for this film will be that it turns out like the latest Robin Hood movie where...

So, we shouldn't be criticising /b/ for fear of Anon reprisals? Isn't that using similar tactics to the people they're "bringing down"? Yeah, good on Anonymous for fighting to preserve freedom of speech, unless you piss them off... To call Anon heroes, you have to call them villains too...
