Batman begins. One of the best superhero films made.

I found Sideways ok but tedious. Everyone I knew who had seen it, raved about it so I was possibly expecting too much.

Batman was definitely boring. I don't know anyone who liked it.

i didn't like sideways be cause at no point did i ever care about any of the characters. i know the main character wasn't supposed to be an in ur face kinda guy, but i just never cared that his life sucked.

You are the first I know who didn't love it. Probably because you can't relate to batman.

I just saw the movie today. Awesome f'ing movie. Easily the best superhero movie I ever saw. Hard to believe anyone would think it's boring.

False. It had moments, but by far the most over-rated movie of 2004. Go check out Primer.

You are right, every critic (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sideways/) in the country was completely wrong. If you didn't like it, fine. That doesn't make it a bad movie.

Have you seen Sin City yet? It's a must if you haven't.

this is the correct answer.

as long as you're not, like, looking for a movie that will, like, change your life, like garden state did.

are you sure you aren't thinking of a different movie (perhaps "Ray")?

i can understand if you didn't like it, but you'll have a hard time making an arguement that it wasn't well directed, written, and acted. unless, of course, you happen to be the ghost of orson welles.

Batman Begins & Sin City are both excellent. War of the Worlds is pretty good too (don't know if its out yet).
