[quote=ravenus;746197]I don't know about definitive but I thought Nolan's Batman film was definitely boring and overwrought taking ages to tell a story that does nothing to bring me closer to the character or see him as particularly complex (not to mention astoundingly pap dialog like "it's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you" repeated twice by a scripter who no doubt considers it one of the cleverest lines ever).quote]

I'm in the army and that line resonated a helluva lot with me. I see a lot of people who spend a lot fo time talking about how they wanna make the world a better place and so on and quite frankly I don't see any action. Well here I am in Iraq, and who people remember me as will be defined by what I did not some sentiment I uttered about "oh it's terrible that there are people killing each other over there." I question whether or not you're qualified to coment on the developed depth of a character with whom you obviously do not identify, I'm also curious about what you thought of V for Vendetta, which also stirred me deeply, as did Equilibrium and Dark City.
