I seriously dont get the hype behind this movie. People keep telling me it has some "star studded" cast. I dont see a single great actor in this movie. Will Smith is a decent actor but hes overrated just like Johnny Depp and hasnt been in a single great film. What star studded cast? Jai Courtney? Are you kidding me? Hes an embarrassment. "The Departed" has a star studded cast. "Saving Private Ryan" has a star studded cast. This has a rubbish cast.
The new joker seems average. This guy doesnt seem good enough to clean Heath Ledger's boots. People are already making excuses and saying hes a different kind of joker. I dont buy it. Though Leto is an excellent actor (Requiem For a Dream), even in the trailer when he says "Im going to hurt you really bad" it seems like a much inferior version of what Jack says to his wife near the end of The Shining. In fact it is an exact copy but worse.
This is just going to be one of those Marvel type popcorn flicks that you're not going to remember a week after. Didnt think anything in the trailers was great and usually these kind of movies have some of their best scenes in the trailers.
People are hyping this up as if this will be some Godfather or Dark Knight level movie. It wont even be 1/10th of them. Hopefully this movie will teach people not to hype up anything with superheroes and some cliched punch lines and action sequences.
The standards people have of what a good movie is are going down rapidly and this is very worrying. I appreciate that everyone has different tastes but people claiming that this will be "the best movie of the 21st century" (I saw a comment which got about a thousand likes on Facebook saying this) when it really wont even be in the top 100 is just wrong.
Im not going to go into this movie with many expectations and Im going to watch it with an open mind and if it really is a good movie then I will gladly bump this thread myself. Dont start bashing this post one day after the movie comes out when crazy fans on IMDB will all start giving this a 10. Lets wait for a month and see what legacy this movie leaves behind and if it can even be mentioned in the same sentence as The Dark Knight.
