Moonrise Kingdom is much more like Fantastic Mr. Fox than any of his previous movies. I'm actually surprised that Flip_Willie liked one and not the other. They're very similar. I've also never seen any of Wes Anderson's films more than once besides Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Saw the movie Friday at a matinee and really liked it. Didn't LOVE it, but really liked it.

Think the problem I had was that I've never been a fan of the whole Raza Guhl (sp) storyline in 1 and this continued it. I thought Bane was great, I really liked Catwoman more than I thought I would (though after seeing her in "Love and Other Drugs" I was less fearfull of Anne H in the role. Note, you see her naked often in L&OD). But the whole former master looking to destroy Gotham thing, meh. Ending was really good though, powerful, I stayed away from spoilers/reviews before the movie so didn't see the Robin thing coming, though it was really cool while it was happening.

Freaked out my wife when the scene straight from the comic happened and Bane had Batman over his head and then dropped him to his knee. I imagined that they would do that, but then during the movie wondered if they really would, and then I was like "Whoa, they're really going to BREAK him!!" Think I got a little loud and giddy at that point, sorry hon! :)

Overall really good, basic premise of storyline aside.

However I made damn sure I knew where the exit was and checked over my shoulder a few times during the film. Ass.

The first two films, while great, had several stretches of slow pacing. This new one didn't really have any that I noticed. Some people are saying otherwise about the beginning, but not me. I think the third film is actually my favorite.

I think Nolan was still on his "I can make a Bond movie" high from Inception, because WOW, that opening plane sequence was awesome!

I saw it on opening day here in Australia too much to the dismay of a few American mates...

I loved it. It seemed much more balanced than The Dark Knight, good performances all around with out the one standout, Joker. My only two gripes were that Bain was just a bit difficult to understand at times, just me?, but the big on for me is how dumbed down it was... Every reference to the earlier movies was accompanied by a clip just in case you haven't seen them and am I the only person who thought Bruce Wayne should not have been shown on screen in the cafe? It should have been just a nod and a smile from Alfred?

Did anyone get the point of the scar on Marion Collitard's back? They made a big point of it if it was nothing...

SithMaster:
:angry: post lost.

Bane uses drugs to roid up but the movie doesn't have him do this. He gets a mask to sound like Sean Connery to deal with the pain while wearing his breastplate when he fights Batman. It probably has to do with antidrug campaigns so I'll let it slide.

Bane knows where Fox hides Batmans prototypes despite the location belonging to a separate company and being off the books.

I'm pretty sure Dagget was important to some plot lines in the comics (made Clay Face) but apparently they don't need him cause the League of Shadows are going to be at it again in the fourth movie.

The movie length to Batman ratio is horrible but even considering that it was somewhat enjoyable (I hate everything so it had a steep hill to climb). People were pretty quiet (someone laughed when Bane commented on the kid singing) and the people in my row annoyed me greatly. Getting up 7 times before the movie starts, trying to steal my armrest, and yeah to hell with going to the movies again. I did get a laugh out of the Terminator Salvation shooter being defective. The start buttons only skipped the video intro but wouldn't let you start playing. Somehow it had 7 dollars of credit (9 dollars a half hour after I first checked) so there was that. It should've been a Wii game.
