Conquer Club

... is overrated.

Had to be said.

Yeah, it's one of the best superhero movies (which isn't saying much, cause superhero movies are generally terrible).

It had a chance to be great, but blew it with the ending imo. It's all downhill after the ferry scenes.


Let the lynching commence.

It's over between us... I never want to hear your sweet voice again.

Don't listen to him! The ending is the best ending ever EVER!

I loved that ending. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

The people not blowing each other up was a dissapointment. Here this movie pretends to be all dark and stuff and then pulls out a "human nobility" BS card at the end. gimme a break.
The rest just felt very rushed and was your basic hero's sacrifice story. They tried to dress it up all fancy, but it's age old.

UHGREED.


Most people are good, but altruistic? Nahh, sorry.

How about that lame ending. What's the cost? I live by pushing a button, and the other boat dies? 100 people say, "omgz, no!" 10 say, "BEEP!" *KABOOM!* "Well, that was easy."

Oh, but the moral dilemma was solved because "bullshit bullshit bullshit, derddd aderrr lame ending! YAY!" I know an alternative solution: mutually assured destruction. Tell the other boat that I've got my hand around the button, so if they press the button, then I'll destroy them in my last dying moments. At least, that would've been a bit more interesting than the dumbed-down, unbelievable solution.

So much for being a dark movie. It's a dimly lit, well-disguised happy-go-lucky film.

So is every other film made ever. Few do it more complexly than Dark Knight (not to say DK's was complex by any stretch).

As far as the boat thing goes, it ties in with the theme of the entire trilogy: There's something good about people. Something worth saving. If you blow up one of the boats, you destroy everything that that Batman Begins built up to.

And what happens after that is the shit. It's how Harvey Dent's story had to end, and it is awesome.

No, there are movies that aren't afraid to offend the sensibilities of the "I need a good always overcomes evil ending" people.

Which would have been something original, something unique, something ballsy, something GREAT.
Instead, bland preditable resolution.

Yay. I can now go home with my faith in humanity restored. Just like a good fairytale should make me feel ...

Don't have anything against Harvey Dent's story per se. (Though the whole "whoops batman is weating armour" shtick was really lazy), but it felt very rushed. Initially I thought they'd leave the Harvey Dent resolution for another movie, but nope, they crammed it in there.
Or maybe I was just so disheartened by the ferry scenes I wasn't really paying attention anymore at that part, I dunno.

Then you shouldn't be watching s Hollywood movie.

But it makes no sense in context. Original, yes, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

I think they could have, but then they couldn't have built up the kidnapping thing.
