Experience A (Chicago and Hong Kong looked magnificent)
Film B+
A fascinating, gorgeous-looking film with unfortunately pedestrian notions of morality.

I was unaware morality had any sort of scale. Isn't that hypocritical by its very nature?
Why says monastic based morality is any more valid then morality based on the results of testing mercury on chimps and using said results to decide how many peoples fingers you should break?
Tsk Box I expected better. Glad you enjoyed the endorphin and chemical response this visual experience brought you thou.

No Box will give a good review to read, however the moment anybody brings a scale of judgment on what counts as correct or incorrect morality I find it irritating. That which cannot be measured cannot be definitive.

2nd best movie of the year?
Best superhero movie of all time?
One of the best movies of all time?
One of, if not the, greatest performances of all time?

Now that you brought it up, I'm interested what Box has to say in detail.

In all honesty, I'm confused by your example of relative morality Poor monkeys
I'm going to write my off-the-cuff review right now, so early apologies about it being incoherent, badly written, etc.

Watched it a second time. Gotta say, now that the hype is off, its my #3 film of the summer after Iron Man and Indy. While I still think The Dark Knight is the better film, it's replay value is not nearly as high as the very entertaining May Duo.
I now consider it a solid A film, with a good story, fabulous acting, and superb direction. I feel now the biggest problem is in the editing of the beginning and the ending subplot. Apart from that, it's one of the best superhero films ever made and really did live up to it's hype. One of the few.
The Big 3 of this year were much more satisfying and memorable then last year.
Iron Man I'll entitle someone to their opinion but INDIANA JONES? At this point there really is no denying how terrible that movie truly was. I don't even know how it managed its RT score. It's a very poor effort, especially in comparison to the previous installments. Now that I think is a movie where hype and nostalgia affected a lot of early reactions, and where I think the tide will change considerably within the next few months when it hits DVD.

Unfortunately a lot of franchises work up good will and so the sequels dont get as bad of reviews as they should.
Case in point: Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, Indy 4, Spider-Man 3.

Re: The Dark Knight
The movie is bound to hit two roadblocks: 1) people who don't really like this type of movie will see it, hate it, and start some bad WOM at that level; and 2) thus a backlash of sort is inevitable.
I overheard one "boring" reaction last time i saw it.

Hey both pertain to Box!
I thought he would be able to overcome such a ridiculous response.

Re: The Dark Knight
You know he has been against this film ever since it started getting so much money, he made all of those Spider Man 3 defense posts, and then is angry that a sequel might be the number one film of the decade, the backlash ensues!

Firstly, that's really only one roadblock. Backlash definitely isn't happening, except possibly for some loonies who deem it the best or top 5 best movies of all time.
Second, not everyone's going to like this, it rarely happens with anyone. But I've talked to a wide range of people, between the ages of 14 and 55, about 25 of them. Some of these people hate long movies, some never like talky movies, and a lot are all about stupid loud action movies. And literally EVERY single one of these people has at least agreed that this is a "very good" film. I'm not too worried about people hating it.
