I honestly have to agree.

It seems like the movie tried too hard to present a story that begged a very simple question which was then extrapolated needlessly as the sole substance of the plot. Like Metal Gear Solid 2, it took a fairly simple underlying commentary and made it a confusing mess, spinning its wheels in its redundant progression while trying to explain the same message over and over. Let us also not forget the frequent trailing off of the movie to follow tangents of the story and characters who were only ever meant to be supplementary to the larger story. Like Metal Gear Solid 2, the story didn't really know where it wanted to go or how to get there and rellied on the ambiguity of the story telling and presentation to create the illusion of something that is greater than what it truly was.

After having watched this overrated but mediocre movie it's hard not to be beaten over the head with all the apparent coincidential similarities to MGS.

Batmans raspy voice, which came out quite forced seemed like a nod to David Hayters Solid Snake as the two characters sounded essentially alike (besides the fact that SS sounds much more natural having done this voice for over a decade)

The thematics and pseudo philosophies of TDK also quite overtly borrowed from MGS. The themes of chaos, control, manipulation, heroes, anarchy, etc were simply too numerous to be considered merely nods to MGS. Much like The Matrix practically ripped off Ghost in the Shell (and did a poor job at that) TDK quite shamefully borrowed almost complete lines from Kojima's games. Some of the lines of being a hero (or not being one), of chaos and control were so similar to dialogue used in MGS that it felt almost distracting while watching the movie.

That TDK made such shallow use of Kojima's deep thematics was ever so aggrivating, not to mention the fact that I had not see the director or writer admit to MGS serving as an obvious influence is what makes this all the more shameful. 

Hahaha DTG strikes again.  Another post of 100% pure gold.

You have to understand, in DTG's world Mario games probably steal from Kojima because they have great gameplay.

Btw, someone mentioned The Watchmen.  I am fully prepared for that movie to blow.  There is too much there for just one movie with complex themes and I am not convinced those working on it have the talent to make it good.  I think there are few people that do.

I give this thread a 9.9.

Wow, wow, wow.

For DTG's (and humanity's) sake, I hope he was just trolling.
