It certainly has its problems but its infinitely better than the majority of crappy blockbusters that are released every year. Calling it 'not a good film' is incredibly harsh and narrow-minded in my opinion. It definitely has a bunch of problems with it that still bother me but there's still tonnes to enjoy. The other two films have also got weird plot holes and stupid writing too but they never seem to be held up in the same way weirdly. I just think its an easy target for people to get pissed off with.

Just because it's better than Transformers 3 doesn't make it not shit. It has too many problems to be a good film, and the highs aren't nearly high enough. The only reason why we do this "woah woah woah, calm down, it's not BAD" is because it was made by Christopher Nolan.
I think it genuinely is a bad film. Bad writing, bad pacing, awful meaningless characters. Nothing has any real depth, any real meaning. Nothing feels really intense (apart from a few moments with Bane, a character they also completely ruin in the end).
It felt like all Nolan really cared about was the scale of the film, and he didn't give two shits about any of the characters.

I liked the Dark Knight, was probably my favourite before this, but what makes you like it more than this one?

Mainly that The Dark Knight Rises isn't a good film.

Awful pacing, sloppy, confusing (and straight up bad, at times) writing. Plotholes up the wazoo.
Apart from a few scenes, it's just not a very good film.

I don't understand why a guy would go for an older girl.

Just means she's going to get uglier, earlier.

Brilliant.

The Uncharted series is great, apart from all 3 endings, which are trump

Endings or bossfights? I agree with boss fights, but the ending to 2 is just fine imo.

Playing through Uncharted at the mo, it's pretty good but there just seems to be hundreds and hundreds of enemies. You kill a shitload and then more and more just come. I thought it'd be a bit more adventurous.

U1? It has that problem. U2 gets a lot better.

I sort of agree with Fantastic.
It's around 50 minutes of dryness, and 5 minutes of goodness in every episode.

Had a fairly productive day of film viewing today, watched Headhunters, Lawless and The Bourne Legacy so far, might end up watching yet another film before I go to bed.

Not sure if I've actually seen 5 films from 2012 yet.

TDKR and Lawless (which I just finished watching) are the only ones I can remember from the top off my head.

February 1st your ass better be in line to see Joaquin Phoenix jerk off on a beach.

How's Jeff Who Lives At Home? Been meaning to catch up with it but haven't got round to it yet. Completely forgot about The Grey, need to give that a rewatch at some point.

Seeing as it's number 2 on my list?
I think it's absolutely brilliant. The trailers made it look completely shite, but it's a great film. Segel is fantastic.

1) The Master
2) Jeff Who Lives At Home
3) Skyfall
4) Moonrise Kingdom
5) Looper
6) Magic Mike
7) Killer Joe
8) 21 Jump Street
9) Killing Them Softly
10) The Grey
