Why so serious you ask? Well, at the time of it’s cinema release The Dark Knight was the new IMDB #1 highest rated movie beating everything under the sun including The Godfather Parts 1, 2 and unsurprisingly 3.
Now that people in more counties have seen the movie it’s come down in it’s IMDB rating significantly so it’s now #3 overall. Considering the rave reviews it might be that Dark Knight is better suited to an American audience as to have almost a full point taken out by international cinema goers from it’s overall out of 10 score must indicate something.
Right now the current status on the sequel isn’t up to Warner Bros as in a current interview they stated that conversations regarding a third movie have not even taken place yet. Yet with the huge dollar signs floating above the Batman name right now a third movie appears to anything but impossible.
With the events of San Diego Comic-Con fully upon us a few assets from upcoming movies and series premieres have started to appear online. For those of use who didn”t get to go to Comic-Con we can start appreciating all the highlights of the show bar the presentations. First to come to our attention is the poster above for Terminator Salvation (4).
It’s nice to see they are keeping to the old school way of making the terminator itself the prime focus of attention it would be nice to see a bit more about the film itself. The recently released teaser trailer was extremely light on useful footage, so it’s hard to make a judgement on the movie at this point. Unless there is more revealed with nighttime action sequences, as the future was shown in the first two movies then we might be stuck with Resident Evil 3 - The Terminator version. Nothing but sand and dust with occasional CGI action sequences.
Still, right now we have hope, and isn’t hope the whole point this early in the production process. We wish those working on the production the best of luck and hope McG provides a worthy addition to the franchise and a good film able to stand on it’s own.
