One of the best movies I seen all year. TLR isn't the place for a discussion on a movie like this though. You're better of posting in the film room.

I'm seeing that now.

 

[Neuromancer]

I hear that

I cant even disagree with your opinion because you are move invested than me.

2 sides of the coin, one from some1 who isnt a comic head and one from some1 who is

Hell I only found out Bruce Wayne aka the kid was batman today

We both enjoyed it so that's what matters.

mufukkas actually complaining cause the movie was what the movie said it was going to be:adfkjdk:'it was just a bunch of close-ups of a cac moping around.':littlesister:yeah, it's a FILM, not mindless bs like so many people are used to nowadays.

Movie was very obviously a character study origin and nikkas complaining about how "...but he aint even the Joker until the last scene"

shyt had me rolling when he did that gig at the children's hospital, and the gun fell out of his waistband, and he was scrambling to try to hurry up and pick it up before they noticed, but they did and looked at the kids and went "shhhhh.". That shhh part was brilliant

It's a much more liberal film than a lot of critics are giving it credit for. I wrote this in the official thread

Spoiler

It’s ironic to me that some critics are looking at this as a far right propaganda film when it has way more far left elements. He’s off his meds because there’s no more funding for his social services. He inspires an Occupy Wall Street type movement. Thomas Wayne is depicted as this rich out of touch Donald Trump-like figure. The guys he kills that sparks everything are basically caricatures as the rich, rapey Wall Street types. But I also think it’s indicative of the horseshoe theory where at some point if you go far left or far right enough on the spectrum and share this common belief that there are bigger forces oppressing you and the only way to stop it is through extreme measures, people with opposite political ideologies end up meeting at a certain place.

As far as race though the one thing I do find frustrating with movies like these is that the reasons many people find Arthur sympathetic for, (traumatic childhood, his mental health, not having access to proper care, living in poverty everyday) are things that so many black people who turn to crime face every day. They just don’t have the luxury of getting people’s sympathy or understanding. And that’s where I see the privilege. But it seems like critics of the movie are ignoring this element in favor of the whole incel argument which again I didn’t really see outside of his speech to Deniro at the end

That scene, and the scene where the midget can't reach the door lock after he lets him go were hilarious to me. Movie did a good job with the dark humor that didn't feel too forced.

Never

I had the toy as a kid

But I could never get deep into it like the rest of u

I text my girl this morning" hey u know batman was the kid!!!..."


I think this is why I appreciate " origins " more ...more of a character build up

Your grammar and punctuation are so fukking trash smh.

gets beat up by teenagers and his co-worker gives him a 38. For protection.

"38." what? Inches? Feet? Oh, you meant the caliber of bullet? Well, then it's ".38", jackass.

I could tell people were unsure to laugh at certain parts, but I didn't care

 

[SoSoSlick]

This is one of those movies where if you go in with any type of expectations you might be disappointed.
Overall its a good movie.

Spoiler
