I'm only hazarding a guess at what the Doc means but I'd say he's referring to the fact that it's become quite popular to drag one plot across several movies (Twilight) rather than have distinct story-arcs (Die Hard). 

That's a wild guess though, I could be completely off track.

Yeah… That's what I mean…
Although, was Twilight the best example you could think of?

Nate fury was average at best…

I just went for the first crappy series that came to mind. In hindsight, I probably should have picked something more dignified

Think I'd have to agree with 1773 about TDKR. It was always gonna be a tough job folllowing up TDK but right from the start I felt as if they were playing catch up (the start of this not being as good as the bank job in TDK for example).

By most other standards this would probably be classed as a very good film, but it kinda felt like an anti-climax in a way, so whilst I liked it I didn't love it.

Just came back from TDKR and I definitely have to say, it was pretty damn good. But I also do have to agree with Emdeepee on the anti-climax part because I felt the final battle went way too short. It was exciting and I won't lie, I was literally on the edge of my seat during parts of the film. It's also great seeing Knightfall making an appearance in the film (I know it's a comic but you know what I'm talking about ). Definitely liked seeing the score for the film in motion and building the tension unlike TDK although pretty tense and realistic, I thought the score should've been brought out at some good times during the film.

But saying all of that, is it a better film than TDK? I don't really know but while not perfect, it was pretty damn good IMO. Wish the final battle was much more bigger and epic than it was… And to add, The Pitt was definitely my favorite scene of the film. RISE.

John Blake is badass.

Almost my entire day was devoted to Batman. First thing I did was drive to the closest IMAX theater and I saw TDKR for the third time. I HAD to see it in IMAX before I never get a chance too, after all… Definitely the best movie I've seen this year. When I got back I played Lego Batman 2 for a few hours then I took a break. Later that night I watched Under the Red Hood, which was phenomenal!! Red Hood's basically Batman but with a different ethical code, killing be an option, also wanting to become the ruler of Gotham's crime syndicates. His arsenal matches the Caped Crusaders and so does his fighting ability. He's got world class sniping skills and one-liners to boot, a totally badass villain. The action was amazing and I hope Red Hood makes an appearance in the next “Arkham” game, he's always 2 steps ahead of everyone. I'll never forget the final confrontation when all 3 characters stories collided… In short, Batman's the fcuking greatest and I'll definitely be starting DCUO soon just to serve under the Dark Knight!

Saw Detention, Night of the Living Dead (1990 remake), and [REC] 2 which I all enjoyed thoroughly but I have to say Detention was probably the best of the bunch. Saying that, I can't recommend Detention to anyone unless I know what they like as this is a great film but it's not for everyone, if that makes sense?  [REC] 2 was scary as shit though…

What is this Detention movie you speak of?

Here's a trailer for the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…..4PFz9gIKKM

It's almost like The Cabin In The Woods but a bit different from it. I can't really explain without spoiling it but it's good.

Like Cabin in the Woods you say? Sounds good to me. I honestly think I'm the only one who really likes Cabin in the Woods. Everyone else I know hasn't liked it, probably because I love old cheesy horror movies, and they don't.

I actually loved Cabin in the Woods up until the very ending when we learn the fate of the characters. I really wanted some of the characters to make it out but oh well, it was still a fantastic film in every way. Everyone I know (besides Finch) liked the film alot and the Unicorn scene seems to be the topic of every conversation about the film. Just don't expect a horror movie from Detention, if that makes sense? I can't really describe it but it's just great.

lol i thought it was crap it was like a B rate imo. its weird i dont like it considering the guy who made it made firefly the greatest tv show EVER!!

finally saw i am legend thought it was really good has anyone seen the alternate ending which was the original before they for stupid reasons changed it where he lives at the end? its going to be interesting how they do the 2nd if/when it happens seeings they killed him off at the end
