The exception would be something like IRON MAN, who to my way of thinking is an underdog. Villains and Underdogs = Goooooood! Average heroes in tights = Not Gooooood!

Dec 29 08 5:41 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well Wich, I think it's pretty obvious that I'm that narrow-minded. And since I'm that narrow minded then I'll take it further and say they should cease making Batman movies period. Eh?

Jan 18 09 10:13 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Dear Mike- There ya go! (But seriously...) I remember all the hand-wringing I heard from '70's Supes fans a few years back: "They can NEVER be a good new Superman film - Chris Reeve WAS Superman!!!" Or more recently: "I will NOT got to a Trek film without The Shat - he IS Jim Kirk!" No offense was meant by what I wrote above. I'm probably prejudiced because I'm an actor, but at the same time that I admire work like Karloff's Monster, Lugosi's Drac, Brett's Sherlock - or Ledger's Joker - I am always open to giving the Next Guy in Line his/her fair shot. Best, -Craig

I think that, under their own groundrules, Ceasar Romero and Mark Hammill did, too. Nicholson, a little less, because he used a few too many of his same old tricks. Best, -Craig

Feb 12 10 3:22 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	A classic for me, one of the best genre films I've seen in a while. Near the end of the film, the lights went one but the film kept going. Not one peron got up to tell the management. The fact that it was not at least nominated for Best Picture was a joke, IMO.

Feb 15 10 8:32 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Dark Knight is good...but not because of the title character! AGAIN, the Joker steals the show. I really liked the movie and thought Ledger's chaotic performance was perfect for a modern take on the character (...I'm like a dog who chases cars....I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught one!). That line sums up the performance for me perfectly. I love the scene when he burns the stack of money...nice to see a villain who isn't in it for a profit. He's in it for the FUN! Bale though? Ugh. Boring as Batman. He fits the suit and that is about it. His voice as Batman sounds like he straining to go number two...it is so forced I can barely stand it. He does fine as pretentious Bruce Wayne (I don't think it is a stretch for Bale to play a stuck-up snob - kinda like Courtney Love playing a crackhead in People Vs. Larry Flynt) but as Batman...he really doesn't add too much if anything. Good thing he has Michael Caine around to do the acting for him! Hehehehe! The best portrayal of the Bat is the animated version voiced by Kevin Conroy. He NAILS the voice somehow. To me, that voice is Batman, not a constipated Christian Bale. It is such a pity that Ledger died. Now no one will TOUCH the Joker character for the next 10 years... However, if they were looking for someone to give it a shot...I can think of a clown that would give it a damn good effort!
