Having recently seen the first trilogy among Nolan’s works, I wonder what opinions you hold about the movies in general. Seeing that I’m quite late to the party, I expect some strong and mature takes in the comments, but you are still free to voice any opinion you may have.
I thought all of them were excellent, though admittedly I only saw Rises the one time in the theatre. The Dark Knight stands out above the other two, though.
I’m not a Batman or comic fan, which could explain my taste. In fact, a group of friends and I tried watching the 1989 one with no nostalgia and we all agreed to turn it off halfway through.
tim burton’s second batman was way better than the first, worth trying. danny devito nailed it as the penguin, christopher walken was an amazing corpo ceo slimeball, and michelle pfeiffer still the best catwoman
the rest of the pre-nolan movies were all steamy diarrhea. one of them actually wrecked chris o’donnell’s career
The original '89 Batman is still dope. I’m surprised @DigDoug@lemmy.world didn’t like it.
What was off? Michael Keaton is one of those actors that I think can hold an audience even with weak material, and I didn’t think that was weak material at all. And that’s before we even get into Jack Nicholson’s Joker. Was it bad? Or did it just feel boring or something?
i should have clarified: jack nicholson batman wasn’t steamy diarrhea. it was good, though dated by this point, but batman returns was much better imo
