Please do not quote the Dark Knight as a way to promote the new Trek movie. The Producers (and many Reviewers) went way over the line and off the tracks completely.

To me the Dark Knight production stepped way beyound what I consider acceptable for promoting a new movie. IMO that opening scene should have been cut back dramatically, or merged into a REAL intro for the DK movie. Five seconds of blue flames and then that bank roberry intro made me wish for a REAL Intro, ala Marvels’ Spidey II.

I have read so many reviews of DK and most speak of how great the flick is/was. I saw the DK and it was fine if you like leaving the theatre feeling like your jaw was busted. Seriously, that movie was the most depressing thing I,ve seen in many years. Yeah Dark, but no fun at all. PLUS all the many, many plot holes.

Yes I know it was called the Dark Knight, But Batman should be a little fun. Remember Begins? It had fun heroic moments, It had a well envisioned Gotham that balanced fantasy well with reality, it had an epiloge that made you believe (minus the last scene with Gordon and the playing card I would have cut that in loo of the new DK movie - it looks silly now) that the character were really growing after thier experiences.
Not in Dark Knight. The only one who seems to have really achieved anything is the Joker??!!

So please don’t mention DK again as a way to score a big opening. The movie was all hype (period.)

My main desire for TREK XI’s marketing is to see more production design that does not make me think I am living in the 60s again. The teaser posters are OK but way to retro. I am really looking forward to the real trailer.

I am also looking forward to a flawless, adventurous and fun movie. That’s all. And please no downers. Can we please have a hero(s) to watch that we feel good about, knowing that they have actually accomplished something positive??? That’s not to much to ask is it?

What did they do to the Dark Knight??!!
It’s still an OK movie (minus the plot holes), but geees, What happened there?


IDIIOT!!!!!!!!

LOL. I think the stats say it themselves. Dark Knignt cost £90 million. In the first 24hrs of screening in America, it generated £74 million.

it cost 180 million actually

ah, sorry. I think i got my figures mixed up between pounds and dollars. I'd better change that.
