The Amazing Spiderman (2012)

Iron Man? Really? Can't even comprehend how that movie is comparable to TDK in terms of entertainment value.

Better editing, acting by the lead(Downey Jr.>>Bale),


And, it didn't become sensationalized by an actor's untimely death, it was just a good flick that rocked the box office.

Don't ever use "T2" to describe Transformers 2. There is only one T2.

I didn't feel like writing the whole fuckin word.

Iron Man was leaps and bounds ahead of Nolan's Batman series when it comes to special FX. For Iron Man computer FX like that are required. Batman doesn't really need it, and Nolan's filmmaking doesn't require that.

Overall, I agree with you TDK was leaps and bounds ahead of Iron Man as a movie. I just don't think you got my point in my original post.

Transformers didn't start a "crazy special FX revolution".

But it showed a progression of advancement. From Terminator 2 to Matrix to LOTR there wasn't much in how the special FX advanced. Matrix was key because it introduced us bullet time, but that became a gimmick eventually. LOTR was still using technology used in Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. The reason LOTR was insane to all of us, was because of the story and camera use by Peter Jackson. Sam Raimi didn't do much either, because well for the first Spiderman he had no budget to do anything.

I still believe that 2007 was the year when things advanced like crazy. You can't argue with the fact that, watching Optimus Prime transform in his intro scene was something you had scene before in cinema. And this will really piss off some of you guys who are so called movie experts on the boards, Michael Bay used tech from Bad Boys 2 and the Matrix trilogy. But he was being backed by Spielberg on the project so it always a matter of what you steal/borrow resources from to progress movie making.

Now with Cameron making Avatar with that badass new camera he came up with as changed everything. Studios are paying through the nose to have a camera like his on all of their blockbusters. TDK was filmed by a similar camera IIRC.

Just because Transformers was a badly written trilogy doesn't mean that we discount the role the series played in giving us the special FX we have today.

Thank god for that.

What thread is this? I was looking for spiderman.

Most FX doesn't age well at all. Matrix still looks good though. (Especially in blu ray)

 

[Goober]

Thank god for that.

One thing I always found odd is Nolan is a huge fan of Michael Bay's movies.

One thing I always found odd is Nolan is a huge fan of Michael Bay's movies.

I think it could be more the cinematography, but even Wally doesnt like Bay films, so that makes Nolans love of Bay films a bit more complex.

And I hate to say this, but I dont think Nolan can touch Bay in action scenes, there have been some great action sequences in Nolans films, like Inception, I love when Arthur is battling the black dude in the hallway, love the music too. And I know some people like to criticize BB for quick cuts of Bats fighting, but if you watch one of the extras for BB, they try and tell you those quick cuts are good for the type of fighting they were using for BB, forgot what style it was though, made to look Bats more badass when going up against a group of people.

Maybe there was a "progression of advancement"(which isn't what you originally said), but it's watered down when you look at it relatively.
You mentioned Jurrasic Park and The Matrix. The first appearance of the Brachiosaurus and the bullet time scene were more impressive for their time then anything Transformers did.

Look at post 163, I mention "Look at the progress between 2004 and 2007" Unless progress means something different....

BTW.....I also just realized saying "progression of advancement" is an oxymoron. So I take that back, it's just progress

I hate the "small knifes are my weakness" scene. Too campy.

 

[Houston]

I don't like the guy playing Spiderman, he irks me.

More than Tobey? That guy was a total douche.

And GS, too campy? Spiderman was/is a smart ass. He can't have an overly gravelly voice and be the "hero scapegoat the city needs".

Can't tell if srs.

Can't tell if srs.

You groaned it, you must've been able to tell. Fuck yes, I'm serious. Bale and the editing were shit in TDK. kthx, groan again.

Thank you. Someone had to say it. Gosh. Such disrespect for Tremors II: Aftershocks should not be tolerated.
