Much more so than any of the earlier Batman movies. I'd put this down to Christian Bale being a terrific actor, and the fact that both are dark rather than camp.<br /><br />Pirates - they were pretty good considering their source. But they aren't really my cup of tea. I found it all a bit silly and even Depp's Jack Sparrow didn't save it as far as I'm concerned. Maybe I'm just not into camp?Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-43784858964292096682010-02-03T18:29:57.829+13:002010-02-03T18:29:57.829+13:00Hmm, The Matrix sequels weren't really necessa...Hmm, The Matrix sequels weren't really necessary but they did have some great action sequences. Alien and Terminator both also got more convoluted. But I agree, Harry Potter and LOTR were all pretty good as are the Die Hards.<br /><br />What about Pirates of the Carribean? They're not bad, especially being based on a theme park ride and then there is Star Wars where I think the best one is number 2.<br /><br />You may have something, when they hash out a follow up movie just because the first one did really well, it doesn't always spell recipe for success. Speed 2 is another perfect example of that.LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10451484619921503215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-6780527716405508922010-02-03T03:06:18.897+13:002010-02-03T03:06:18.897+13:00Agree completely on The Matrix, and sequels in gen...Agree completely on The Matrix, and sequels in general. I also enjoyed The Lord of the Rings trilogy. So far with the new Batman, I had a great time with Batman Begins and just enjoyed The Dark Knight last week for the first time. Your theory may be spot on.Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398754886656482414noreply@blogger.com
