    The Dark Knight is objectively a great movie, whether you like the themes and subject matter or not (I don't, and I personally don't like the movie that much).

    Josh is hipstering when he criticizes it, unless he attacks it for length and the few superflous scenes it has (which is legitimate criticism).

    DK is good, DKR kinda sucked.

    Actually, we're talking about YCS here, not SA.

    Keys to understanding Josh: Hates being talked down to, loves believable characters, hates unbelievable ones unless they exist in a really out-there setting like Planescape.

    So, in essence: "Film is great but I didn't like it." Which, y'know, is okay. Pretty pussy of him to equip his personal opinion as a shield, though.

    Yeah I liked The Prestige more than The Dark Knight as well. The Illusionist was also good.

    Fuck the remake. That will be put on my "never watch" lists. Just like Game of Thrones Season 4.

    He mentioned The Prestige because that's also a Christopher Nolan film.

    And also has Christian Bale acting in it. So ?

    They're both about "Magic-y" stuff. I watched both of them back to back so that was the first thing that popped into my head.

    The Prestige and Illusionist were often comapred because they came out almost at the same time and had similar themes, but they are in different genres (Illusionist does not have any fantasy elements). And Josh is right that Batman Begins is better than The Dark Knight. So is Inception.

    I think I enjoyed the Dark Knight more simply because it was less of a "Blockbuster" plot, felt more like the Batman I remember from childhood, whereas the first one I was like ... wtf is this shit (even though it's actually real batman stuff).

    How was DK less of a blockbuster than BB?

    fake edit:
    Ok, You know what, forget it. Let's not derail this thread with any more Batman discussion. Especially that the question of which Batman movie someone likes slightly better is pretty insignificant.

    Now, now Josh, the movie director has an obligation to make the movie more "welcoming" to the moviegoers that are just plain bad at understanding/following movie plots, if they don't "get" the plot, the movie director failed at his job, it's as simple as that.

    Sorry, I don't believe that, not even if Josh were to outright state it, often moviegoers say they want one thing when in reality they want something completely else, (competent) movie directors have no illusion about that and act accordingly.

    For example, my dumb jock friend who almost exclusively watches big budget Hollywood blockbusters loves it when the movie goes out of its way to help him understand the plot, I'm sure Josh is the same (he's just being dishonest).

    i've never been able to deduce whether Sawyer is a full blow hipster with aspy qualities or whether he's a full blow aspy with hipster interests...
