QUOTE (Dash Panther @ Aug 4 2008, 02:51 PM)  Did Christian Bale use the annoying growling Batman voice again? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2yv8aT0UFc Yeah, there's articles about it being the main complaint folks had. Seriously, if that's the only problem to nitpick with the movie, then dang, it's a goooood movie. |

I think it's hilarious that I'm so filled with dread over the Watchmen movie. It almost seems as if Watchmen is too awesome to be recreated, and so this movie is doomed to failure. But that logic doesn't really hold up. I thought Batman Begins was too good for a sequel to live up to, especially with all the hype that they didn't mean to give it. But then, Dark Knight gave me multiple dorkgasms.

Just saw Dark Knight this evening, no Watchmen trailer though. Not familiar with the comic, but if it's anything like the short video that got posted, I'm there--gotta' love noir.
Batman's growl is definitely a problem--it just doesn't seem like him. Batman's whole thing has always been being cold and implacable. You can't piss him off, or scare him, or manipulate him, or get a handle on how he feels--he's like an unstoppable machine or a force of nature. That's what makes him so intimidating, a pissed off batman is just a guy in a batsuit who's mad at you, instead of a manifestation of your own guilt and fear. Criminals deal with pissed off people all the time, facing justice and retribution personified is a lot more unnerving. That being said, I loved The Dark Knight's re-imagining of the Joker. Joker never really had a sufficient motivation for doing what he did: He was just nuts. While that may explain it, it sucks as a plot device. But a psychotic social-darwinist on a twisted ideological crusade to spread anarchy and destroy civilization? Now that's interesting. Damn shame this movie suffers from "The Crow syndrome": An incredible performance involving greasy long hair and facepaint that will never be repeated due to the actor's death. [ Spoiler ]

Dark Knight was incredibly awesome, Christian Bale's growly Bat-voice aside. Mostly because it wasn't an origin movie. Heath Ledger's Joker was terrificly frightening.
I like Zack Snyder (who did the remake of Dawn of the Dead and 300) so I have high hopes for Watchmen. If anything he's being faithful to the original material which is more than most comic book movies do. I don't think even Christian Bale can save a PG-13 Terminator movie. No hopes for that. |

Funny. Both Terminators were PG-13 where I'm from. I didn't even know they were R elsewhere.
