Raimi's Darkman > Burton's BatmanQuoting transmogrifier (view post)
Although both carry a rich fusion of Gothic sensibility, opera, and po-mo superheroism, Raimi's film is more in tune to its protagonist, and it has the good sense to step back and laugh at itself every now and again.
repped. i've long been a holder of this opinion.
Epic Movie > Disaster Movie
I mean seriously, I -- OW! Who's throwing bottles? That could hurt somebody! Just let me -- HEY! I will not be silenced, here, people, stop throwing -- OWW! That one hit me in the EAR! You've got to learn to grow up, people, seriously, this is -- okay, hey, that one had the neck broken off, not cool, that could've punctured something.
Man, I didn't realize you folks like Disaster Movie so much. OOOW!! I said knock it off! Look, I ... stop shoving! Let go of me -- PUT ME DOWN! THIS AIN'T FUNNY ANY MORE PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO ... PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN! AUUUUGGHHHH!!

i like darkman too, but i don't see how burton's film does not "step back and laugh at itself every now and again." nicholson's joker is the villain in that film after all. not to mention how burton never seems to take the title character seriously or as seriously as many fans do.

Citizen Kane is better than Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
There are some moments in Darkman that seem to slap the audience and remind them that this is, at its core, a ridiculous movie. The Joker's jokes don't step outside the film.
And as for Burton taking Batman seriously...that's a whole other can of worms.
I really want to watch Darkman again now. :sad:

It's very very horrible, sir. It's one of those things we wish we could disinvent.

The truth comes at no cost, my friend.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Hey, even I don't agree with that. Aliens is the best of the series.
Alien 3 is great though. The mood and depth of feeling is awesome.

Try this one on for size:
The Magnificent Seven > The Seven Samurai
This is a disgusting statement. Pineapple Express' biggest problem is that every character who isn't Seth Rogen, James Franco, or the other guy is not just horribly boring but feels like a Lebowski reject. Express is about 1/3 good because that's how much screen time its funny actors have; Lebowski is concocted brilliantly from beginning to end.
