Saw this like a month ago, but Wall-E.
Was amazing. And If you don't think so it's because you haven't even seen it and you blindly hate any movie that is for "kids" so you can feel like a macho faggot.

Yep. Wall-E was tear-jerkingly good. Pixar's best work to date, I reckon.
Dark Knight was also good, but not, in my opinion, epic and revolutionary as many critics believe. I expect their lofty opinion of the film has something to do with Ledger's death - he really has been showered with undue praise.
Also, it was so consistently depressing. Nothing good ever happened. It was just bad after bad after bad. Joker blows something up, Batman shouts a little, Joker blows something else up, etc etc.
Also what is it with superhero films and doing what I like to call "a Spiderman"? By that I mean, they're no longer what they should be - force of unquestionable good (Batman) faces off against force of unquestionable evil and chaos (Joker). Now it's all "Oh, Batman and the Joker aren't that different really" and "Batman's kind of a villain, if you look at it this way..."
No he fucking isn't. Sorry, but that plot has been beaten to death by the three Spiderman films already. Also, God it went on for about half an hour longer than it needed to. And another thing, how did the Joker sneak all that explosive into a working hospital? I know security in those places is light, but geez, you'd think they'd notice some guy dressed in makeup and a purple suit sneaking oil drums and plastic explosives into a hospital. And talk about short notice - he must have done that in a few hours.
I know I'm being picky but eh... It was good, it just doesn't deserve all this universal praise it's getting.

Agree with you on Wall-e 100%. And batman about it not being as amazing as people make it out to be.
But I have to say I like the dark gritty feel of the new batman filmss much more than the old ones. But I'm not a fan of comic books, so that may be why.
I also agree about making him the villain. Didn't like the road they took it.
And yeah, lol. Each time something happened I was just like, "Ok let me guess, Joker gets away, kills someone."
I got a little bored of sitting there towards the end. And I saw There Will Be Blood in theaters which is 2:45. With hardly any action, but loved every second of it. And didn't even feel like 3 hours. The new batman just got repetitive.
