Date: 2012-02-24 06:36 am (UTC)I own Batman Begins. When Batman Begins is on cable, that's what I'm probably going to watch. It has this nice hopeful upbeatness despite all the darkness.
The Dark Knight is too dark for me and I stand by what I complained about originally:

Honestly, I was undecided about having it on the list at all because of the previous film and the way Nolan has been turned into a sort of God. I mean yeah, the guy's talented but damn, they'll like defend him to the death.
I've also grown tired of destruction and such just for the shock value. I'd guess it had to do with getting older but I was never a fan of disaster films.
However, it does have Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and new people, Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and most importantly...Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle...hopefully, pulling it off better than Halle Berry or Michelle Pfeiffer. I know a lot of people like the Batman Returns Catwoman but I'm still most partial to Eartha Kitt.

Date: 2012-02-24 07:15 pm (UTC)I quite like my Batman dark and gritty, so I guess I'm more suceptible to the way Nolan apparently wants to do things.
I like Nolan, I think he's talented, but definitely not worthy of the 'God' title that some of the fanboys so readily give him. I trust him enough to think that he 'gets' Batman, and is able to make good movies about one of my favourite characters of all time, but he's not above reproach.
I liked Inception, I thought it was an intelligent, exciting movie, but it wasn't worthy of the hype. I'm starting to feel much the same about TDKR as it gets closer to release.
I'm no fan of Marion Cotillard, so her inclusion into TDKR does nothing for me. I'm one of the few people (I think) that keeps her fingers crossed that she's *not* Talia al Ghul in disguise (she could never fit the way I imagine Talia, ever). All the others though, I'm happy with (in theory), but Anne Hathaway is going to have to convince me she can pull of Selina/Catwoman.
I enjoyed Michelle Pfeiffer's take on the character, but she's not my ultimate portrayal. Neither are any of the other previous actresses. And, frankly, a rock could pull off Catwoman better than Halle Berry, so it shouldn't be much of a stretch.

Actually, when I mentioned this to my mom, she cringed, too.
She was never a soap opera person. The only soap operas she watched growing up were because of her mother and sister.
Thus, she didn't know about Dark Shadows until my oldest brother and I watched the NBC remake.
I LOVED the NBC remake. Naturally, it only lasted one season. Later, in college with SciFi, I was able to see the original. It's okay but doesn't trump my fond memories of the remake with Ben Cross and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Now, I used to LOVE Tim Burton and then he came out with Planet of the Apes and then that thing with Kevin Smith happened...
I did love Big Fish. I own Big Fish. I thought maybe things were okay and I could like him again but except for producing 9, I haven't really liked anything since. It all seems the same and lacking in heart. He also no longer pushes his actors to do their best as he once did which makes it more obvious which actors do that on their own and which actors need that attention.
Not only is it Tim Burton but it is based off the original including being a period 60s piece...
Plus, you have Johnny Depp as Barnabas which most people are ecstatic about but...
Is he going to play it straight like in Sleepy Hollow or Neverland or is he going...to make him weird?
Yes, he's a vampire but he's sexy and mysterious with a touch of danger yet heroic and tragic. You know you should run away but you're just powerless against it.
He's who inspired Louis, Angel, Spike, Edward and basically every modern conflicted vampire. Gee, Cullen and Collins even sound very similar, don't they?
So yeah, I'm worried about Johnny's portrayal although the cast as a whole does sound very awesome.

I think my most anticipated would have to be The Dark Knight Rises.
