    Fair enough

    Hopefully the higher budget doesn't screw things up. I like Jodie Foster, unfortunately she is usually the best thing about the movies she's in. Sounds from the plot summary it's Apartheid In Space.
    It'll probably have a very similar theme to District 9, which I don't mind as long as it's good!

    Sharlto Copley is starring in this film too "Fucking Prawns!"

    Very much so!

    That's fucking hilarious!

    It's really my own fault that I got annoyed after paying money to see that crap, when a directors name is something like McG that's never a good sign

    oh, let's face it, nolan didn't do a terrific job on dark knight rises. i watched them film shitloads of that movie around my place here and combined with very much enjoying the 1st 2, could not wait for 3. was not blown away.
    Too many characters and plots to cram into 2.5 hours, audiences don't have the attention span for anything longer these days. IMO he would have needed 3.5 hours to let the story really flow but I do agree it's not the best of the trilogy. Batman Begins was the best of the three.

    I still feel he did a good job at maintaining a very high standard throughout the trilogy which I respect because there are very few trilogies where all the films are really good.

        Katie Holmes being played by Maggie Gyllenhaal annoyed me, really fucked with the continuity of the film replacing one of the main actors

            The only reason I accepted that was because Katie drives me nuts, LOL. Otherwise I would agree 100%. Do not like how Ironman removed Terrence Howard!

                I think this is the reason I disliked it. It seems too self-consciously acted and directed. You're never allowed to forget it's a film, because the performances are too weird and stilted. The pauses in/after/before dialogue in particular are just ludicrous!
                Very well put! That's what I hated about Drive too!

                I also disliked the music, if that's what you're saying, even though I know most people cite it as something they like, even people I know who hated the movie. IIRC it was just 80s retro. If I wanna hear 80s (and I do like a ton of 80s stuff) there's an entire decade of the real thing on Youtube.
                The music sucked big time! I was born in the 80s and there is a lot of great music they could have added from the 80s to give the film an authentic 80s feel.

                He's one of the most overrated actors in Hollywood, the only film where I've enjoyed his performance was in Fracture (2007)

                    Oh I hate her too I just felt that entire story line in the second film was pointless because for half the film you're trying to figure out who this uglier Katie Holmes character is, so by the time the film reaches it's conclusion it could never have had the same impact it would have had if Katie Holmes was playing her role in the film.

                    Personally I just would have cut that entire story line out of the film to avoid that nonsense!

                    Of coarse that could never have worked because I'm sure the Nolan brothers would have spent years writing the film and then after they found out Katie Holmes couldn't reprise her role as Rachel Dawes

                        You just brought up an excellent point. We should have seen Katie Holmes on fire!

                                I love reading people picking apart movies for technical inaccuracies. I'm not a car nerd but I did think in a movie called Drive, about a stunt Driver who moonlights as a getaway Driver, there wasn't as much Driving as I expected.

                                I can't pretend I like seeing Ryan Gosling's name on a movie, but I agree about Gangster Squad. I mentioned that I often enjoy 6-7 (IMDB) rated movies, and that's one of them.
                                Yeah, I wouldn't watch a movie just for the music (obviously).

                                I think the technical stuff is what made it worse, I think if a movie is interesting, you don't really notice that sort of thing. But, because it was already grating on me, when those things started creeping in, it just made it look like a joke in my eyes.

                                I even find a few movies on IMDB that are rated as low as 4/10 that I like, after Drive, I no longer trust the ratings on there as much anyway .
