Hey everybody, this is a reaction channel my buddy Zay and I started up so that we can share our first experiences of certain content with you all and also have the memories for ourselves. We hope you like our reactions and subscribe to stay tuned for more!
I always took this as the pre-comic code Batman who didn't have a problem killing if he had to. Not like Punisher, more like a cop. One panel in the comics Batman shoots a truck driver from the sky and says "as much as I hate taking human life, I'm afraid this time it's necessary".
The most epic Batman movie… Batman Returns. It delves even deeper into the darker stories. Catwoman, Penguin, Christopher Walken, murder, betrayal, psychotic breaks… What else do you need? Also, Keaton and Pfeiffer have the greatest chemistry out of *all* comic book couples. Y’all have to watch it.
Genius work on the Cujo costume! Everything eles is and looks so old in the movie! Including: the cars, the houses, the roads, the people and children in the movie... their outdated hairstyles, clothes, even the Phone is outdated. It's been around 40 years ago. The CUJO costume looks so real to this day! If you put Cujo in a movie in 2024. Wearing that costume and the special affects 40 years ago, Cujo would still be horrific and scary looking! It just looks so REAL!!! Amazing!!!
I was 11 years old when this movie came out, Keaton is still my favorite Batman and Nicholson is still my favorite live action Joker. This movie was great, I had it on VHS when it was released after theatres and watched it wearing it out and had a lot of the items from it. There has never been a good live action Batman since. I actually prefer Batman killing if he has to, not because he wants to. The sequel was just as good being more adult than the first. They don't make good movies like this anymore. The other films after are good but they will never be as good as this one even if a bit dated. The movie is not perfect, but it is still closest to comics than other films.
I didn't kill the black guy who was kicking my butt, TACO BELL did or Doc Brown did from the first BACK TO THE FUTURE movie from the clock Tower or gravity did 😊😅😆😂🤣
26:28/ Great bit of reverse psychology demonstrated by Bruce in this scene. It may seem like he was goading Joker into killing him. But look carefully. As Bruce yells at him, he points toward his head. He understood that even The Joker has that old male ego. DON'T TELL ME WHERE TO SHOOT YOU! I'LL SHOOT YOU WHERE I WANT TO! Knowing a shot to the heart would be the next lethal spot, he made sure that area was protected. ❤
There weren’t 4 horsemen here guys. You’ve watched too much Supernatural (or whatever!) to stay on track with the movie! He’s the single horseman in this story. Insinuating he’s death. The other 3 aren’t a part of this story!
40:00 Cam: "Oh... my... gosh... Zay. Look how many horses there are..." Me: (Confused) "Excuse me? Am I missing something here?" Cam: "How did they get that many horses on the set?" ME: "Er... What horses?" Zay: "That's what I'm impressed about. Is that they really did take a realism approach to this film and were able to utilize resources to get this many horses." ME: *"WHAT?!* *WHAT HORSES ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!"* Cam: "It's crazy!" Zay: "I don't even think Lord of the Rings had this many horses! ME: *"There ARE NO HORSES!!!!"* Zay: "Gosh... Having that many horses on the terrain has to mess up the foliage and everything..." ME: *"WTF??? WHAT THE HELL HORSES ARE YOU TALKING AB...* Oh... *you TROLLING BASTARDS!!!!"* 😅😅🤣🤣
All I know with 23 years in the military is that if you 2 had been drafted you probably would have come home in body bags. I'm not saying that's right. Not everyone is made to serve in the military. I don't believe in a draft. It should be for volunteers only. I can't imagine forcing 75 draftees through boot camp today. 90 percent of today's young people are too soft, uneducated and too attached to their cell phones. If you think this is bad check the history of the My Lai incident in Vietnam. Thank God we still have men and women who volunteer to serve.
The tone is fun and might appear silly but it's set up with the intro where the black and white Action comics is opened up and The Daily Planet becomes real. It's a live action comic book where the robbers head off in a boat and the bad guy is licking and counting his big wad of money. The henchman is goofy like out of the comic, so reflects his theme music. When Superman appears in his outfit, the comic book reaction is the dude just noticing him and saying "that's a bad outfit," and then suddenly that tailored, fashion dressed-like a 70's glam rock-outfit flies up in the air, and all my dude can say is "whooo!" The part where Super flew off in silence came off funny to you guys but it's meant to be the grounding moment where the cops look up and their whole mind is just focused, looking up at the flying "big blue bird" the "drunk" cop was trying to convince his chief of. You just hear his cape flapping sorta like wings in the wind. The little girl getting smacked is another grounding moment for the audience, sorta like what you guys expected to see with fainting or whatever when folks saw Superman. Back in those days, children would get smacked in the face for talking back or lying to their parents. So when that little girl runs to her mom and says a flying man saved her cat from a tree, the audience for that time is going, "Yep, that's what would have happened if I had said that shit to my mom, too." The silent "Lois" is something that's been in tons of movies; a character so in shock that they just say to themself "no" or whatever. The ending is a major...what. I've understood it that he goes back further enough in time to give himself more time to rescue Jimmy and the others and do the fixing and rescues we saw earlier. But yea, that probably doesn't work either. Great commentary though. 🤘
My favorite movie of the year when it came out. Watched it a dozen times. But this is the first time in decades I really paid attention to how it held up. Michael Keaton? Phenomenal. Jack Nicholson? Same. Score? Fantastic. Humour? Well done. Overall look? Quite good. Story? Um. Hmm. Yeah, I do remember now on rewatches in the theatre I was bored waiting for Jack to become Joker, and couldn’t care less about the stupid makeup plot line. You guys are spot on, they could have knocked off 15-20 minutes to make the whole thing tighter. 8 is totally fair.
At the climax of the Superman movie, when Lois Lane dies and disaster strikes, Superman is pushed to his absolute limit. Refusing to accept this fate, he decides to turn back time itself! He doesn't literally spin the Earth backward-that's just a visual representation. What he really does is fly so incredibly fast that he surpasses the speed of light, which causes time to reverse. Even though he's forbidden from changing the past-a rule that cost his father dearly-his love for Lois drives him to break this ultimate law. By bending the very fabric of reality, Superman shows just how epic as hell he truly is. Real superman is a to powerful. He also does a similar thing in the new movies. he fight all the hero at once, he moves as fast as the flash. However superman is doing it differnetly. flash uses a distrotion which slow time down for him. he moving normally with the distrotion. Superman does it with pure power. I was 4 years old when i seen superman the movie. it was the first movie i remember.
There were two things about this movie that spoke my heart. 1) Jack Nicholson's portrayal of The Joker. The way he channeled the 1940's Joker and added his special twist was perfect. 2) Danny Elman's serious soundtrack backed by the music styling of Prince made this movie. Even when the Joker seemed to remove his make-up(Nicholson was wiping on the white make-up for Joker), it made you think he was crazy. I believe Tim Burton watched the old movie serials and read the original comics(Batman originally carried a gun).
