Film vs Film

[Bullitt68]

Here's a new one:






Spartacus or Lawrence of Arabia?

A lot of people consider Lawrence of Arabia one of the greatest films ever made, but I personally think Spartacus is much better, and, next to Ben-Hur, is the greatest epic ever filmed.

Other opinions?

Agreed.

Spartucus was much better. Lawrence had too many long drawn out desert scenes. Its sand people! Yep its more sand people! Damn.

Peter O Toole seemed rigid imo. Kirk Douglas' movie was an epic that wasnt even touched till Braveheart. Tough stuff vs a historic scenery piece.

You have to quote me dude or I'd never have figured that out.

Guys, I haven't seen Spartacus except in pieces on the tube and haven't seen any of Lawrence either so I don't have a decision with those two choices.

Why does it have to be old movies?Can there not be new movies as well?

They don't have to be.

How about this one:





Batman Begins or The Dark Knight?

I personally thought Begins was dog shit yet I know a lot of people who not only love it but prefer it to TDK.

What do you guys think?

I read alot of comics, and for someone familiar with Batman the second is better, but mostly because of a fresh storyline i.e. not needing to know Bruces parents were killed for the umpteenth time, and The Joker is more...fun then Ras Al Ghoul. I give them both an A+, but yeah the sequel is just a little better

Yeah that was done right. I'm sure everybody knows how this happened so it didnt' need to be in there. Like the last Hulk film. They didn't go into too much detail with his origin either.

I enjoyed this last one more so than the first. I do think the Bale's first is over rated by I don't hate it by any means. The thing that bothered me about Batman Begins Spoilers-------->> was just the concept of burning everything to the ground as a way of purging the city. I thought it was ridiculous.

This last one was a bit silly at times as well. The part where he could see and hear everything and everyone using that sonar contraption or whatever it was using all of those monitors, was foolish.

The Joker made up for it though.

I thought The Dark Knight was better. Not saying I didn't like Batman Begins though. I loved it.

I can't really remember the first so DK it is.
