Seriously Though

unnamedplayer:

Batman was the best movie I’ve seen in a while.  Even when it felt long and drawn out, it was good… weird but true.  I won’t say more ‘til next week — don’t wanna ruin it for anyone.

caffeinated: for reals.  Batman ruled.  I wasn’t sure it was going to live up to the hype - at first, I was mostly indiffierent about this one, but by the week before it opened I was pretty stoked - but it managed to meet my high expectations.  And Omar is totally right about it being good even when it felt long and drawn out: there was at least one stretch where I thought, “oh, it’s probably over soon,” and when I realized I was wrong I was actually excited.  It was a treat that it kept going.

Ranking the movies I’ve seen recently, from best to worst:

  1. The Dark Knight
  2. Hancock
  3. Most of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*
  4. 28 Weeks Later*
  5. The Break Up*
  6. Ironman#

* Watched on TV
