I feel like when you're the minister at a wedding, you have a certain moral obligation to not just carry on after Spider-Man appears and attacks the Bible, at which point the groom threatens his life while waving robotic arms all over the place. At that point you should just stop for a minute and take stock of the situation.

He clearly is thinking, "A good minister would stop talking right now, but I just thought of a fucking KICK ASS 'web' pun and I am going to use it."

I have prepared myself for this gag ever since the Avengers first came together. I gave up my family and friends to join the church, i slaved hours away studying, married hudnreds of people just for this ONE shot at glory. I am ready....

Spidey 2 was magnificent, mannn. "This is really heavy." Did any of you play the video game tie-in? It (and Ultimate Spider-Man) are probably on par with Arkham Asylum as the best superhero games ever. Swinging around the city just makes you feel like Spidey so much. Plus, you get to hear Bruce Campbell pretend to eat a sandwich.

"I will not...... die....... a monsterrrrrrr.....! You.... listen to ME now...." Seriously SPider-Man 2 is my Citizen Kane.
I did play Spider-Man 2 the game, but I remember I found it insanely hard and couldn't get past the first few levels (Bruce Campbell was telling me how to do the moves at one point and that was amazing). I remember putting down the controller and telling my friend that I had a newfound respect for Spider-Man and his work.
I missed a good game? I did play 'Web of Shadows' though, and thought it was a LOT of fun.
Spidey: Seriously though Luke, do you still have the tiara, put it on for old times' sake, or...? Luke Cage: It was a HEAD-BAND. Spidey: Sure it was.

Also!
Spidey: Hey Logan! What d'you think of the black suit, huh? Wolverine: You look like one of those damn emo kids on the internet, always whining and complaining but never knowing TRUE PAAAIINNNNN... Spidey: You go on the internet?

Having Campbell in the first two movie games, just clowning around, seriously made them much better than they were. I will never forgive 3 for not including him (and for generally being shitty.)
It's actually funny that just like the films, the games based on them go from good, to great in ways you weren't expecting, to terrible and a complete disappointment after the second. Spooky.

I loved Web of Shadows, I also liked how they referenced stuff that happend in the comics like the Sentry Watchtower on Stark Tower and how Spidey is a avenger now. Also Black Cat being voiced by Caprica 6? Hooooooooot....

It was a pretty good film but has a comic book fan it felt off. I don't see why they had to link Talia to Bane the way they did. Then to come out and say oh she could escape that prison and Bane couldn't that’s nonsense. What purpose did any of that serve? She can't fight worth a spit it makes Bane look weak for not being able to escape on his own. Which in the comics he escapes from prison on his own using the Vemon that was put in his blood has an experiment. It just seems weird that he would kill a guy who was paying him because he was to weak to boss him around. Then he just follows Talia’s orders like nothing. Why because of their supposed past, because they share the same dream. He would kill her being less capable then him. Because he would be better suited to carry that dream out. Also Bane Is Spanish and his strength comes from Venom. I don't get the whole air mask thing how is it supposed to make him stronger, what by suppressing pain he can somehow all of a sudden break a Kevlar mask with his bare hands.
Batmans fighting style is still completely wrong. Where's the agility the quickness. He's still using that made up KC style instead of using a mix of existing styles. Ok look at the Batman Arkham Games that’s how he’s supposed to fight. The Nolan films really just didn’t have great fighting scenes. Begins was the worst since the camera would get way to close to the action and stay there. The suit is still trying to recreate the design from the Tim Burton movies. Where's the damn grey and I can't even see the Bat symbol most of the time. It's like the costume designer is embarrassed that he’s working on a Batman film. Then there’s the “ Robin or Nightwing thing” that’s a long issue all by itself.
Don’t get me wrong the Nolan films are much better than the previous Batman live action films. However its still not really the end all be all trilogy for comic book super hero films. I refuse to believe that this is the best Batman film series possible. Well I’m glad their done with the Nolan verse Batman he just wouldn’t fit in a Justice League movie in my opinion. Over all I liked Man Of Steel better since Superman was represented very well and even though the world is a little darker he still seems like the Superman I’ve known but with less experience.

I would help a lot if the costume designers would make a batsuit that was actually possible for the actor to move in. I read somewhere that Bale had a hard time simply moving in that costume.
Candidly, I've seen the first two Nolan Batman movies and was underwhelmed. Then again, maybe Batman is simply not that interesting a guy to begin with. I found the story in Batamn Begins tedious. Dark Knight was salvaged by Heath Leger's portrayal of the Joker who was a perfectly plausible if incredibly dark rendition of the character. I was otherwise profoundly underwhelmed. Bale and Caine really didn't seem to feel their characters too much and as mentioned by Shaider the action scenes...felt off.
At the end of the day i think Nolan's style in some way just gets on my nerves.
But that's enough from me.

I thought the first and the third were good and the middle one was very good indeed. Nolan is definitely over-rated but I think they're by far and away the best Batman movies ever made since Tim Burton is over-rated even more! And all three are up there in the top ten superhero films I think.
Certainly they didn't really feel like Batman, especially The Dark Knight which is flat-out just a crime drama where the protagonist wears a batman suit for some reason (until Two Face's face goes mad). But I don't think that's necessarily a flaw. They changed the source material a great deal but kept all of its major themes and tone, and some would say the trilogy is better than the real Batman's best.
All three movies lose a point for Christian Bale's ridiculous 'Bat voice'. I wonder when the moment was, on set, when they realised that the voice sounded stupid but it was too late to change it? xD
