No they are rebooting it. That's why the assumption is Bruce is gonna die to fully make sure no one touches his story.
Yes that's correct. Spoiler The moon they land on in Prometheus is LV 223. The planet they land on in Alien is LV 426. I think the implication is that at some point in time, one of the Engeneers' ships crash landed there while trying to escape the system.
Just purchased Dark Knight Movie Marathon (as they're calling it) IMAX tickets. 9 hours of AWESOME!!! I've seen both of the other Batman movies at midnight, and I figured that this would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I can't friggin wait. (wonder how fast tickets are going to sell out).
Ah, ok thanks. I was worried that someone was gonna screw up the series. And yeah, I personally believe he's gonna sacrifice himself in this film.
I liked MIB3. Not the greatest film ever but it was entertaining. The 3d was actually fairly well done compared to most movies with 3d. I would also like to say I def cannot wait for TDKR.
Why isn't there a bigger interest in The Amazing Spider-Man? I know it's a bit soon to reboot the series, but I'm actually looking forward to it.
Batman>Spider-Man? Actually the trailers do look good but there are other movies I would rather watch like Skyfall.
Because spiderman isn't a "dark hero" at all like batman. They will probably ruin the series completely.
Yeah, I know... but how do we know they're actually turning him into a "dark hero" with this film? From the trailers? I personally wasn't too keen on the last Spider-Man series, so I'm looking forward to this one. I won't judge it until I see the entire film.
Because Spider-Man is a reboot, and people have been waiting for TDKR for 3 years now. Also Batman > Spider-Man.
Prometheus talk. Spoilers and lots of cursing. Spoiler How did those two idiots get lost? They left before everyone else afraid of the decapitated monster, before the storm. They are the guys who are mapping the cave in the first place. Its his mapping devices that he can call upon anytime to help, he has the map scanner on him, he's in constant contact with the captain who is also watching the map being formed right in front of him? What makes this even worse is that near the end of the movie they reveal they are not in some cave or a building, in the near but in a circular ship. Really, how the �������� did they get lost in the first place? Why did these same people who just ran away from dead aliens, then decide to treat a ��������ING HISSING ALIEN COBRA like a housecat? That dude actually wanted to pet and kiss it! Why do these scientists go out of their way to endanger themselves? They insist upon not wearing helmets despite all the danger of contamination or physical attack from alien life forms? Why the �������� did the Engineers depict their location for their secret military base on caves for primitive humanity? Why the �������� did the Engineers provide holographic depictions showing how to operate the ship? The writers needed a way for David to decipher the language, and chose the dumbest way possible. Oh no, wait, that would be CAPTAIN PICARD'S ��������ING FLUTE. Why does everyone act like a Lost character, where they repeatedly get into danger and don't tell everyone else what happened, just to keep the mystery going? Shaw punches out two crew members and confronts David, gets an emergency abortion and then everyone walks about like nothing happened. A zombiefied crew member returns to wreck shit and no one bats an eye, discusses it, takes precautions etc. Speaking of which, why does everyone go out of their way to not carry security with them? First Shaw refuses, then someone else. By the 3rd or 4th time they have that zombie crew member come in to confidently kill the security team. Half the crew members came on the ��������ing mission without knowing what they were going to do, why? How they �������� is Shaw running around through an earthquake, leaping over crevices after a Ceaserian abortion? Why did Vickers have to die like Bugs Bunny, running away from a falling structure for 2 minutes instead of running to the side? All this doesn't compare to the script problems. Shit dialogue. TERRIBLE ��������ING CHARACTER WORK. Shaw is a scientist and religious, how do you know this? Because she said so and flashes a cross now and them. When does she demonstrate this except at the end? Howling geologist and nerdy glasses man bristle against each other for no reason. other than, hey shit this is the type of characters in a Micheal Bay film. Shaw doesn't speak to the crew, had ONE conversation with the captain ONCE, and all of a sudden she can convince them to do a suicide run against the alien ship? The only good character is David. Plot twists are trotted out without thought or grace. We suddenly learn Dr. Shaw is barren, for no other reason because in a few minutes we have to set up the abortion scene. The captain suddenly confronts Shaw about the structure really being a military base, out of nowhere. Or how about Vickers revealing the most pointless twist in the movie: "I have done all that you've asked... [dramatic pause]... FATHER" (dun dun dun) SERIOUSLY? Who cares? Did Weyland really plan this entire expedition to just walk up to the aliens and have them tell him the shit he wants? The Space Jockey aliens are really giant albino men in elephant suits. Seriously That is only less disappointing by: The origin of the classic Xenomorph Alien. THE MOST RANDOM SHIT EVER. Here's how one was created in this movie: (a) Have one human infected by the all purpose black goo (happened only because of dumbass scientists have no contaminations protocols and one rebellious android) ( b ) make him have unprotected sex with a woman (lucky not to be ��������ing dead) ( c) have the tentacle spawn allow to grow to a monstrous size (I have no idea how that shit got that big without eating anything, and why NO ONE IN THE SHIP NOTICED IT. (d) Have it overpower and impregnate an Engineer, who only happened to be in the area by happenstance. He wouldn't be there if they hadn't ��������ed up his ship. (e) Have it burst open to reveal the Xenomorph Even with the all purpose black goo (which makes zombie berserkers, alien cobras, etc when the script demands it), look at the ridiculous sequence of events that have to occur to make a Xenomorph. The crazy sequence of specie genetic combination plus all the crazy madness going on around them...wow. So how did they even get Xenomorphs before to paint murals on in their shitty base? This is all off the top off my head. Bad dialogue, crappy characters, lame plot twists, gaping plot holes, the only thing enjoyable was the visuals, and a few select scenes (abortion, David in the holographic map room, the intro showing the primordial world with the huge ass waterfalls). All of which could be excused if the story was engaging and I cared about everyone, but they were all too stupid to do so.
@arta: You forgot one major, inexplicable idiocy: why on earth did they have to get Guy Pearce to play Weyland and lavish him with what's probably close to the worst example of excessive make-up in modern movie-making? Instead of, heck, I don't know, giving the role to an actor of suitable age? And you do know the writer of the film is the same one who is responsible for Lost, right? Might answer one of your questions above.
That was a great read. The bugs Bunny and Cpt Picard's f*****g flute refrences were lol! I would say 'chill out, it's only a film', but actually i agree with everything you wrote. Just to touch on the ludicrous Spoiler birth scene... Not setup for female anatomy and yet that was contradicted by the fact forceps were used to deliver the squid!
Christ, well that explains why so many things unexplained and or pointless. Edit: arta, i've had to sig-quote your flute comment as it'll make me smile everytime i post on these forums
Yeah I had forgotten how freaking bad that makeup was, didn't help that Guy Pearce was doddering around like a clown. The audience was tittering when they saw that. I also forgot the scene when they tried to make the 10,000 dead alien head speak by hooking it up to electrodes. Yeah, I must have blanked out from the stupidity of that scene. These are the worst scientists ever. Yeah, I recognised a lot of bad Lindelof habits here, namely characters that get into danger and repeatedly fail to communicate this to everyone in the group, as well as a fondness for setting up interesting mysteries and then attempting to pay them off in the most illogical, obscure way ever. I learned my lesson from Lost.
Lol, like I said already, I don't mean in comparison to TDKR, because that movie is gonna freakin' blow every other movie this summer out of the water. Plus, it's Batman. And Batman's the shit. I'm just saying, in general, a lot of folks that I talk to just seem to feel the film will be bad. I'm gonna give it a chance.
Probably because it's being rebooted so soon (I think you already stated that). Same thing happened with First Class, and that turned out to be a really good movie. And like I said already (lol), it's being released within 3 months of TDKR, and it's a superhero movie. (so it has that going against it).
