Christopher Nolan. 9,1 ?? 4th best movie of all time???? Comeon already!! That is just stupid... Fine movie, but not without flaws. For example, Batman has just survived, well, everything and beaten up most of the world + a swat team. He knows where Heath is and can see the dogs. Yet he is totally overwhelmed and gets a kicking. Why? Because the Joker is the main bad guy. That is lame and predictable. The joker's force is that he is brilliant and ruthless. He does not possess super strength. And what's up with Batman needing 1/15th of a second to take out 10 baddies, when he misses a 7 second opportunity at other times.. Just because it's fantasy doesn't mean that it shouldn't comply to it's own laws and logic. A red thread of consequences is never more important than telling a "supernatural" story. One last thing. What is up with that stuffy nose?? Every time he talks he never closes his mouth because he can't breath through his nose. Looks ridiculous. Oh well.. I didn't like Batman begins. I hated Katie whats her name. Cruise. Maggie is a hundred times better. And Gotham City does get it's own dark character in this one. So the choice is 6 or 7. But even with Katie replaced and Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and a good Gary Oldman in it, I can't give it more than 6. He is called batman! He has a costume with a cape and bat ears.. Get a grip people!!!! I give it a 6. I miss you Tim Burton. Oh well. Been a few hours now since I saw it. Didn't have the best rip, otherwise I might have been more impressed by the cinematography and vfx. And Heath does do a good job as Joker. However Bale is a dull batman and I just can't stand that they have to take a man in a cape so goddamn seriously. Jeez Louise, it's a comic.... So - vote is 6.5

Heroes
(II) (2006–2010)
Started of as a good drama series, ended up as a soap opera

Season 1 was great except for the end. Everyone said that season two sucked bad, so I took a long time to get around to it. Have just watched half of it, and damn.. I mean you have people with superpowers, and a huge budget, and great fx guys. It's a great start! Why not get a decent scriptwriter? This is baaaad. EDIT: I have just watched the second half of season two, and it does get better. However it is still a far cry from good. The show started as a great drama series. Now it is a soap opera with potential. General Hospital with a 100 times better outline and 1000 times the budget. Heads really should roll. I give it a 6 out of 10.
Day Watch

A mess.

Kief. Was really looking forward to this. Great visual effects, sci-fi, Russian. Cool stuff. But the story lines are many and the director doesn't really seem to care about them. This really could have been great. But it isn't. I was disappointed. The number of plot holes are insane. A 7th grader could have run through the script and picked out at least 50 of the worst ones. With that kind of budget, a decent scriptwriter should have been brought in. Incompetence seems to be a dominating factor in the realization of this project. However that does NOT go for the visual effects guys. They do a brilliant job that is second to none. Can't get it up to more than a five stars though. What a huge shame :(
Mortal Kombat

A real good friend of mine with an equally bad taste in movies has made me sit down and watch this more than once. This movie is the absolute pits! The scenography is terrible, the acting is absolutely horrible (Christopher Lambert does it again. He REALLY should have quit after the first Highlander), the effects are mind numbingly bad, and the plot is even worse. My recommendation is that only the ones who absolutely loved the videogames and whom suffer from insomnia should see this if it was on cable and they were strapped down in the couch out of reach from the remote control. However, I give it one point for the entertainment value of copying a bit of the spirit from the games ("fatality!") Otherwise it has no redeeming qualities. 2 out of 10.
American Ninja 3: Blood Hunt
(1989)
Argh!

This movie has warped my fragile little mind! Seriously besides Lawnmower Man II and I assume American Ninja 4 this has to be one of the worst movies ever to appear out of Hollywood. The stunts are more than poor, the plot is horrid, the acting worse and the cinematography of it is a joke. Spare yourself: Don't watch it. If you're a movie-lover this production will make you sad.
