July 30, 2012 10:27 am good news everyone! great review, great film. can't wait to see it for the second time.
i feel sorry for all those that stripped out the twists by poring over casting/character names and identifying the 'real' villain (i think this is what Paul is referring to in the review).
it was not easy, and I saw the film within days of its release, but i managed to avoid any spoilers, hid trailers from my view in cinemas, avoided Letterman (as usual), ignored twitter, podcasts, bla blah blah....
i knew Hathaway was gonna be Catwoman, ol' whatshisname, albeit 'roided out like an Olympian a la Humungous from RW2, was playing Bane and Hines Ward was gonna return a kick-off punt for a doomed game's sole TD.
in the end, the Titanic sinks and Batman prevails, to be sure, but it is important to be ignorant of the detail.
walking into a cinema without the taint of spoilers or some Homer-esque loudmouth's opinion is no easy feat these days and becoming increasingly difficult.
is Nolan the master of the perfect film ending? seems to be in my opinion.
October 30, 2011 6:13 pm isn't Wolverine's name in the title redundant, or is he no longer part of the X-Men?
or, in Wolverine's words: "did I take this job for a quick buck?"
September 12, 2011 9:35 am i'm not a retailer but i understand exactly where the sweary, mcangry sign comes from.
comic shops seem to hold rude, stinky characters at a greater rate than society in general. the funk in a college town LCS would be stomach churning.
retailing isn't about being everything to everyone. the retailer's priority number one should be taking care of actual, legit customers.
if i saw that sign in ANY comic shop i was in, not just my local, i'd be doing some "hell yeah's" under my breath and stealth fist pumps knowing that it wasn't directed at me and is likely the shop keep's attempt at getting rid of the freeloaders crowding up the aisles with their ill-washed presence.
January 7, 2011 4:59 pm both of these clowns can stick to writing and less speaking and we'll be saved the embarrassment of watching them trip over their massive egos.
CGI can suck it!
i'll benefit cause i'm too stupid to investigate prior to buying a book and sometimes pick up a G-rated snoozefest, this'll work a treat.
great idea.
if you're a sucker and feel compelled to buy two copies, one for ripping and reading, then you're wide open to be taken advantage of like this.
me, i'll be looking to grab two copies.
i'll score a polybag in my standing order, keep it sealed and buy a 2nd print to read.
forcing me to buy two copies of the same book? nice work Marvel.
i'm starting to think maybe they're in this business to make a buck.
