The film is set in the Animated Series universe. The Dini/Timm episode "Heart of Ice" provides the backstory for Mr Freeze unlike anything else ever delivered. It's a perfect episode, emotionally superstrong and tragic. I guess after that one, no more character development was needed. :)
Fair enough. I hope any future live action Mr. Freeze looks at TAS for PROPER influence.
Michael Ansara sadly passed away. His voice work as Mr Freeze was just excellent. And yes, if Freeze ever makes it into a live-action film again, no walking refrigerators, please. Arnold was fun-uh-for one time only.
There was also the nice Deep Freeze episode, though Heart of Ice is absolutely perfect on its own. From the animated series, Freeze is a close second to Joker of the best villains.
Amen to that, sir! But then, I think TAS got most of the villains right. And not just right but better than any other incarnation in live-action material.
A big +1 from me, sir! I love almost all of them. I'm a huge fan of the Mad Hatter, one of the most underrated baddies, done so brilliantly in TAS. Also Riddler, Penguin, Clayface, Scarface + Ventriloquist, Scarecrow, the BEST Two-Face... it goes on and on.
The one villain I think TAS got wrong was The Penguin. He didn’t have the best solo episodes (minus one). He was just boring and off putting. Then again, I never thought he was a great villain, apart from Burgess Meredith and a few comic book stories. I did watch Mask of the Phantasm, a few weeks ago, it’s still the Heart of Ice or Robin’s Reckoning of Batman movies.
For the most part, yes. But no for its lackluster versions of the Penguin and Catwoman. And while the BTAS version of the Riddler was good, he only starred in three episodes and only one was first rate.
In my opinion, it's still okay, but it's not a patch on its predecessor, or Return of the Joker. Mystery of the Batwoman is also better.
I still like Batman & Robin. Completely different thing, but fun.
I did feel they should have gone for a two-part episode myself. End part one with the motorcycle chase.
Apocalypse Now: Final Cut 4K this film is the pinnacle of cinema, its an incredible experience. This 4K restoration is phenomenal in every way the Dolby Atmos is mind blowing, one of the greatest films ever made, its an astonishing achievement.
Is there? Huh.. in the few times which I have watched Double Team (another non favourite), I have missed that. I will keep my eyes and ears pealled when I come to it in my JCVD season. Talking of which, last film I watched was Van Damme's Six Bullets (now that one, is one of my favourite Van Damme films).
Now, there weren't many people in the theater (parents and children mostly), probably due to that virus. and the theater wasn't really big to start with. Social distancing rules were in place (one seat between each family). Still, a nice way to kill 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Saw it in the cinema in 70mm, and no copy has come close to that experience!
Try any of the other films on 4K yet? I really wanted to pick up Rambo but haven't gotten around to it yet.
First Blood is the only 4K version I own I will likely upgrade the others at some point, I did rent Last Blood on 4K its not much different from the Bluray version I have, though the fifth film is the least cinematic.
I have never seen it at the cinema though I can imagine its up there with the best you could experience.
I saw it in the cinema in the 80s, and particularly the end sequence is amazing.
The Coen Brothers acclaimed thriller based on Cormac McCarthy's novel. Gripping, thrilling, with great dialogue ("its a mess, aint it Sheriff?", "Well if it aint, it'll do til the mess gets here!") and strong characters, Josh Brolin, Tommy Lee Jones, and of course Javier Bardem as the ultimate bad guy, Anton Chigurh!
An ordinary joe, Llewellyn Moss comes across a drug deal gone wrong, and makes off with the money! A deranged killer (Bardem) is in pursuit, with Jones old style Sheriff trying to make sense of it all! My only complaint would be that i didnt really like the ending, clever and unexpected, but i was a bit let down there wasnt some confrontation with the main players, and particularly that Brolins part didnt have a more satisfying conclusion after following him throughout. Still, an exceptionally well made thriller!
Yes, particularly the lady in charge of the trailer park! "Did you not heeeear me!"
Unfortunately I was a bit too young to see it first time round, If it ever played in a cinema where I am I would definitely go and watch it.
Part 5 was not up to the level of Part 4 in fact some way off, though I don't mind it some elements of the film I enjoyed. Admittedly most of the good action is seen in the trailers, hopefully Sly will make another one. Though the way it ended in Part 4 was perfect.
The ndrink was a neat touch. He pours the sollution into his drink, then a few minutes later when his cover has been blowen, that guy comes up behind Van Damme, and he tosses the drink over his shoulder, right into that guys face.
I probably have recommended Assassination Games at some point, afterall it is my second favourite Van Damme films after Hard Target.
Continuing my Jake G season, its hard to escape the legacy of Alien and this movie never really works. Great cast and effects wasted by a plot that relies on the stupidity of the collective crew.
Watched this recently myself @Mathis1 and it really is very rewatchable. Best film of that year IMO.
I know what you mean regarding the ending, but the Coen brothers adapted the book extremely faithfully to the written page. Reading the book was like a tie in novel for the film! They were equally faithful to the True Grit novel. I suppose they're coming from the angle that if the book is that good, why change it?
Fair enough! I just was really looking forward to a confrontation between two of the characters. I was even thinking the scene where Chigurh is waiting for Moss wife after the funeral,...that she was going to be the one to outwit him ( having said that, that scene chills)
When i first saw the film i thought the end just kind of fizzled out, but now i really like it.
Pretty good western with Mickey Rourke as one of the leads. A story about Manly Men (as is often the case with westerns) in New Mexico in 1873. Even Gavan O Herlihy isn t a whimp.
