*promote my two favorite things... Hobbit and Colbert. Throw in Dan Savage, and I'll keep this on the front page forever

I'll field this. Dark Knight rises came on the tails of the two best comic book movies for one of the best comic book characters ever made. Batman Begins was amazing when you compare it to Batman movies of old and then Dark Knight was probably the greatest action movie ever made, it was incredible.

The bar was raised super high, and people had a problem with the last movie. I think it honestly wasn't tight enough...Dark Knight is tight as a drum, Rises simply isn't. It meanders, it's just unbelievable at times, it doesn't handle some of it's new characters well at all. Although there's moments in that movie that are great, I feel it's second half really failed.

What I can see is there was simply too much they wanted to do...so guess what cut it into two movies. One is Dark Knight Falls and then Dark Knight Rises. I would've loved it, hell Hobbit is suddenly 3 movies so don't tell me Nolan couldn't make this stuff into two, it would've ROCKED.

!SPOILERS!

The ending wasn't handled well either but the argument to change it is weird too. Some people say Alfred should see Batman and Catwoman and just smile, and we never see them. To me if Nolan did that it would've been hacky and exactly the same as the ending to Inception.

As a whole, this trilogy is better than the original Star Wars Trilogy, based on story and characters alone. It's MUCH better you don't know anything if you disagree. Also just like Return of the Jedi is a disappointment (More Ewoks MUST DIE!) so is Rises, yet I'll still watch it.

Obviously, in celebration of the upcoming Hobbit

Because of Kiwi Peter Jackson and how much the films are associated with the area, I think this justifies a downunder channel.


Absolutely, can't believe I didn't tag that!

>> ^EvilDeathBee:

I'm really looking forward to this, but not looking forward to another 3 movies. Why did they have to split it into 3 movies??


Spaceballs 2: The Quest for More Money?

Your video, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Trailer #2, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

As much as I was excited to see Guillermo Del Toro's take on the Hobbit, and it would have been a spectacular visual treat, I am so happy that it's in Peter Jackson's hands.

He has a deft touch of the light hearted next to the gut wrenching and epic.

The man was born to make all of the Tolkien movies.

I will be doing my damndest to find a theatre that shows it in 48fps too, f*ck off all those who can't handle watching things at anything other than 24fps

Interesting, but also seemed a little arbitrary in their choices of 'milestones'.


I know. Two Words.

Nimoy.

Hobbit.

One of a myriad other fantastic behind the scenes on the extended edition Lord of the Rings. They actually invented that technique. This hypes me up a bit for The Hobbit.

>> ^PancakeMaster:

I had no idea this is how they pulled it off. I'm so happy that they did this rather than CGI or green-screening!!!


I hope they will do it again for The Hobbit trilogy movies!

I will probably never understand why you do this, but I'd like to say you have my undying gratitude for the act.

Funny : ) It's a Tradition! We need to dig up some backups for this video.

CGI is not always cheaper. Film producers learned that the hard way. Peter Jackson could have done every set in LotR or The Hobbit with CGI. Instead they build dozens of miniatures and models and animatronics, because it was faster and cheaper for some scenes than fiddling away for months with computer models and the right amount of virtual lighting.
