I'm telling you as a movie-only guy that the film had that emotional weight, in spades. You felt it was missing because you're comparing to the book.

I did note the question. It says "worst changes." Your argument is a lack of more detail from the novel equals worst change. I am disagreeing with you and saying movies need to cut that stuff out to be good movies, which is the important thing.

The Dark Knight Trilogy is a series of movies based on Batman, not really comic book adaptations. For the movies Nolan was making his choices and decisions in Rises made perfect sense. He won, for all intents and purposes, and decided to retire on that basis (however he never really moves on, as Alfred says).

It wasn't a novel, it was a film. Novel readers always demand a more faithful movie version but that's not always the best way to make a good movie, which is the goal. PoA is probably the best Harry Potter movie, it works brilliantly as a film.

Yeah, they even basically said they were always casually hooking up. Oh well.

Mulder and Scully!

Can't agree.

There's also the simple fact Doctor Who is more popular worldwide than ever before, so most Moffat complainers either a) watch the show anyway, or b) are a vocal minority.

Please don't pay to "purchase" a movie on streaming. I would hate to see film ownership head that way for good. At least buy a disc.

There's room for both, man. Batman works best in grim and gritty mode, for example. And Alien is certainly a better sci-fi film than damn near any other. However with Man of Steel it doesn't work.

You are not my friend.

I have never seen The Apartment, I'll have to look into that. I own The Magnificent Seven but haven't tried to get her to watch it yet. Man, Man World is on my wish list somewhere!

Yeah, someday that will be no big deal, but at the time it was so exciting. I still get a little tingle when I see it.

This movie always makes me uncomfortable because of how much of a point Oldman's character makes, and how dumbly patriotic it is, but it's still a kick-ass movie I love.

I would never have thought to post it, but hell yeah man. When he says that and it cuts to the ship with the music I always get a tingle. Great stuff.

My wife hates older movies, but sometimes I force her to watch the real classics. She was mostly bored all through Jaws, checking her phone and sighing. At the end though, in this moment, she said "hell yeah!" and it was a big smile moment for me.

His roar is so iconic. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending, honestly, but that roar... just wow.

Seriously the best moment. Surprised no one else posted it.

We old Trek fans are a dying breed it seems. Most of the younger people I know who have seen Trek 1-6 see them almost as comedies. They just can't take Shatner seriously anymore after all his chuckle stuff the past couple decades.

Fair enough point, I just think it was kind of not needed, and not needed sequels tend to take away from the original series unless they're amazing movies.
