The Room is something special...

And there's Mathilda May...

DEEP WANG.

Ugh.

The Last Airbender is the most uncomfortable, mind-boggling, overstuffed, overcrowded film adaptation I've seen since David Lynch's Dune.

And this chick's hairstyle... did Shyamalan really not notice this?

There's a sequel!

My biggest problem with the movie is that it portrays Dracula as this tragic, brooding eurotrash crybaby. In the novel, there is nothing sexy about Dracula. He's a stalker, a rapist, and a predator. Mina isn't seduced by him, she's assaulted and in the end, uses the mental bond he forms with her to lead her husband and Van Hesling to his lair so that they can kill him. I wonder what the odds of Hollywood ever making a movie about a woman who is victimized by a vampire and works to destroy for revenge him instead of cuddling his head and wanting to bone him...

Coppola's Dracula is a good looking, but disorganised, movie. The acting is peculiar... especially the British surfer dude, oh god...

This?

I love Alan Moore's book. Snyder's adaptation was appalling.

It's been awhile since I saw the film... I remember being impressed by the direction and the acting, but not the story. Maybe I'll have to watch it again... with DIF.

I can't stand the dialogue.

I believe it was Teague who complained about the writing in the Spider-Man movies and that the characters didn't talk like real people, saying what they're thinking all time, etc. Well, I have the same complains about Nolan's Batman films. The characters in those movies don't seem like real people to me... they seem more like puppets for exposition. I don't believe in any of the characters.

"Fans of the Batman franchise complained when they heard of Michael Keaton's casting. However, no one complained when they saw his performance" - Alison McMahan, The Films of Tim Burton: Animating Live Action in Contemporary Hollywood.

Uh? Fans loved the film when they saw it in 1989. It was Batman finally portrayed seriously and dark.  Keaton & Nicholson nailed it... as well as Danny Elfman whose theme for the film became "The Batman Theme." The 60s tv show was now a thing of the past. Nobody walked out of the film, complaining that it was "cartoony"... it's a comic book movie!

Thank God for the Tim Burton movie because it was so extremely darker than anybody had seen Batman before in any kind of mass media. - Bruce Timm ("true" fan), co-creator of Batman: The Animated Series

"While today the movie isn't shocking with its dark tone and approach, and the Gothic macabre and some camp is more lighthearted, one must remember that before this movie the only superhero movies were the 1960s Batman TV series, Superman movies ,Flash Gordon, Supergirl and Disney's Condorman. All very colorful, lighthearted and family friendly movies. Batman was the first superhero movie which showed a gun pointed at a child, charred corpses, implied sex scene, implied torturing and its visual results (Alicia) and even visible shotwounds to the face. It's impact and influence was felt instantly, when it was followed by such superhero/comic book movies as R rated The Punisher, much darker than expected TMNT and Darkman."

I'm the opposite. I watch Begins/Dark Knight and all I'm thinking "this is just silly... this is not believable." I don't have that problem with the Burton ones because those movies don't try to rationalize the irrational and justify the premise of Batman into reality...

I'm more impressed with a comic book movie that resembles a comic book in terms of tone and visual impact... that embraces the fun, goofy, fantasy while still taking itself seriously.... like Burton's Batman. Actually, Burton's Batman films takes themselves very seriously, more so than most superhero movies, like Iron Man. You can almost call the Iron Man movies comedies. One of the disappointing aspects of Iron Man 2 is how they handle Tony Stark's alcoholic problems. It's a big deal in the comics but it's barely an issue in the movie... it's pretty much played for laughs.

Burton did that, and much more impressive I must say... Burton acknowledges that Batman is f*cking insane. Nolan portrays Batman as just another well-meaning do-gooder in a suit. It's too bad, because Bale knows how to play crazy... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144084/

Ironically enough, Burton's version of Batman would have fit in the more drab Nolan universe (let's face it, if a guy dressed as a bat popped up today in New York or Los Angeles kicking mugger asses, he'd totally have a few screws loose to say the least), while Nolan's more traditionally heroic Batman would have been believable in Burton's stylized comic book world...
