My Favorite Movies

Best horror film of the decade.

Tom Hollander and Johnny Depp are great--the rest SUCKS. I put this in my favorites by accident. Don't watch this.

Great. One of Brian DePalma's best.

VERY.....VERY......GOOD. This movie is excellent. One of the best among the Marvel Films, or comic book films in general. Now, I thought about what a Punisher movie would be like a while before it was actually developed....to be honest, if they went with the origin of the character, it would be cheesy. But...they were able to manipulate into an exciting, edge-of-your-seat film. Now, the acting......solid as a rock. Especially from Thomas Jane. He may be the Al Pacino of our generation. Travolta....excellent as well. He once again prevails as playing the wretched villian opposed to the stereotypical greaser.

Anyways, if your into action films that refrain from falling under the category of the mindless Arnie movie that can usually be seen on amc around 3:00 AM, but instead finds an impecable balance of humor, drama, and excitment, then I highly suggest watching the Punisher.


A sequel is supposed to be in progress, but the part that's gonna make the movie terrible is the fact that Thomas Jane and Johnathan Hengsleigh have no intentions to return for the sequel.
Thomas Janes superb acting mixed with Johnathan's warped mind made this movie what it is. I'm afraid the sequel will be what I descibed, as above, the very thing this movie was not.

One of the greatest movies ever in my opinion. maybe the best remake. I've always felt a spark while in the city at night. This always brings it back.

A pinnacle of achievment for Marvel Studios. All of the movies made by Marvel Studios have that certain feel; You can tell it's based, even if you didn't know when you began watching it. The idea of a good comic book movie is it staying faithful to its origins, they say. The movie can be decent but be critically acclaimed just because it's a solid adaption to the original story. It gives it an excuse to be stupid, campy, and ridiculous. And that's whats always bugged me about Super Hero movies. Once you remove it's mask, you see how mediocre and stupid it is. But this movie...this is something different. By itself, the movie was brilliant. Great acting(minus Terrence howard)great script, great action, it's just an overall terriffic movie. Robert was the best guy for the role. I'm sad to see all of my favorite heros played by mediocre actors(*cough* Ben Affleck *cough*)but Robert only made me love the character even more. A charming balance of humor, action, romance and drama. Go see it, even if you hate comic book movies. You'll still be drawn in by the charasmatic characters, edge-of-your-seat fight scenes, and spell binding story. Check it out.

I could write a book about this film, but I'll just write a fairly long review.

The Dark Knight is the best Batman film ever. Period. This is Batman in its truest form. It's masterfully created, everything about this film is good. It's undeniably dark feel, it's acting, the form of drama that makes the plot surrounding batman feel like an excellent crime drama on its own. Without batman this still would've been a good film. First off, acting; the best in any batman film, ever. These are the best interpretations of the batman characters. Never before have the Joker, two face or batman been better portrayed. Especially the joker. Heck, let me talk about the joker.

The Joker in this film is nothing at all like previous incarnations. The comic book joker does what he does for money. He's a coward, he's insane, and what he does has a reason. This Joker is....much different. He kills for fun, he creates these elaborate ploys because he has a driving force within him to do these things, he doesn't do it for money. He won't kill batman, he simply wants to fulfill his purpose, to quarell with batman. The comic book/tim burton joker would kill batman any chance he gets, he wants money, he cares about himself. This joker doesn't care about himself, he treats every day like he'll die tomorrow. That is what makes this joker signifigant. It makes him intriuging, interesting, the kind of character you'd want to explore. Heath Ledger played this character better than anyone has. Ever.

Now that I have that out of my system, lets talk about the story.

For the first time ever, this film feels great on its own. The story fits together perfectly. The previous batman films--don't get me wrong, some of the scripts are good--have never fit togther well enough to really feel like a superhero film. This one succeeds at that and more.
Its dark, it's gritty, it's disturbingly realistic.
That is the way batman films were supposed to be made. Nolan has redefined the series.

This film has changed the way superhero films will be seen in the future.

Go see it.
