<p> </p>
<p>Nope, just found them all quite boring, usually just take themselves way to seriously. </p> -
<p>Dark Knight was my fave of the Batman movies, and Batman is my fave super hero/vigilante (which is why I am persevering with Gotham)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Never been a fan of Superman, so will be interested to see how the Batman vs Superman movie turns out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also caught this on I am Legend last week...expect it is old news though</p>

I actually much prefer those Justice League cartoons my kids sometimes watch. Some of them are really good. None of those Avengers films do anything for me. Guardians of the Galaxy is the obvious exception. Awesome film.

<p>Outside of Heath Ledger's performance I don't rate the Dark Knight really highly, and I thought the next Dark Knight was actually bad. I enjoyed Batman Begins though.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for Marvel, I like Captain Avenger and the combined Avengers movies but all the other standalones are only ok. I'm looking forward to Civil War.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So much stuff on these days, including TV to go with the movies - Agents of Shield, Agent Carter, Daredivel, Jessica Jones for Marvel and Arrow, Flash and Supergirl for DC. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And that's before getting into X Men, Fantastic Four and Spiderman.</p> -

Heath Ledger died so automatically his overrated and irritating performance was elevated to 'legendary'.<br><br>
Tom Hardy as Bane was about a million times better.... -

<p>Tom Hardy is an awesome actor, but his Bane made that Batman movie almost unwatchable. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ledger was great in that role, dead or not.</p> -
<p>Dark Knight is awesome, the Nolan batman trilogy is an awesome watch, one day when the kids are out, and I've got my cinema room sorted, I'll be putting that trilogy on. The fact I work in the building where some of it was filmed (where Freeman checks is phone in is the lobby in my building) is just a co-incidence, I swear.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've mentioned it before, but I feel the need to mention it again. Guardians of the Galaxy blows goats in a big way. Worst movie I've watched in years.</p> -

<p>Agreed. I never liked the previous Batman movies as they were all far too camp for my liking. It was fantastic to see someone take an artistic direction away from the TV show and make it much darker. But then I also wanted the Dark Side to prevail in Star Wars, I guess some men do want to see the world burn...</p> -
<p>Watched the Hateful Eight in 70mm last night. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm a fan of Tarantino so I was predisposed to liking it, but I thought it was great. Much better than The Revenant (I watched them a week apart). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Was a bit weird having an intermission though. Kind of took me out of the film a bit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Walter Goggins from the Shield and Justified was great and it was a film that weirdly didn't have a real lead as the focus point of the story kept moving.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Obviously as it's Tarantino there's a lot of gratuitous violence and use of the N word.</p> -
<p>Watched American Sniper. Really enjoyed it, but then I think I've liked most of Clint Eastwood's flicks, he tells a great visual story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Re-watched Casino Royale (where Daniel Craig made Bond a hardarse again instead of a playboy caricature) and original Point Break. On principle, I won't watch the remake.</p> -
Hateful 8 looks great, definitely gonna catch that at some stage. Michael Madsen is awesome.<br><br>
Clint is god among film stars, he's been on top of the game for nearly 60 years, incredible really given he could have easily retired yanks ago.<br><br>
I think Casino Royale is still the best Craig Bond, Quantum wasn't too flash but Spectre and Skyfall were great too. I hope he continues in the role. -

<p>I'm the same, and due to the awful awful reviews too, it was $10 movie this week and I couldn't bring myself to go and see it. I seem to remember when we discussed this earlier when the preview clip came out at least one poster saying it looked good and they wanted to see it ... maybe they can give us a run down of how it was?</p> -
<p>Bone Tomahawk. Pace is slow, but excellent movie.</p>
