I really liked how the two storylines worked, too. Before I saw the movie, I was worried that having two villains might have been a bit too much, with one overshadowing the other, but they were balanced perfectly, and both were equally awesome.
:lmao: Not bitter at all, huh? You, my friend, rock :lol:
I'm actually really surprised by RDJ's comments, and I know he has a reputation for being...a bit arsey, but I still would've thought he'd be professional regarding his feelings for TDK, no matter how bitter he is that it beat Iron Man. It's just really uncool to come out and say something like that.
One of the things he said that really bugs me (aside from the obvious), is that Iron Man was an origin story, right? Then the article follows on saying "which wasn't the case with The Dark Knight", and he rants about how much was going on in TDK and how complicated it was...well, duh. Batman Begins was the origin story, did you miss that? Of COURSE The Dark Knight had so much more going on, it wasn't going to tell the same story again, was it?! :irked: Gah.
And his whole sarcastic comment about needing a college degree to actually understand the film? Bullfrit. Maybe I'm biased, but TDK wasn't pretentious at ALL, and it was easy-enough to understand. If my 15-year-old sister and cousin, and hell, my 11-year-old sister and cousin can understand it, then maybe there's nothing wrong with the film, but that says something about you, Robert :irked:
Ok, maybe I'm more annoyed by this than I originally thought.
