After the first one all I can expect is some form of mindless entertainment but unfortunately this one was the worst out of all the. I was hoping the asian influence might have been cool but it was pretty dull. The scenery was cool and the yetis were amazing. That was about it.
amanta:
Terrible. Bad special effects and horrible dialogue. Save your money.
dreampipe:
It did run a little too much longer than it needed to and they probably made it a little heavier than I think it had to be but all in all and amazing flick.
The effects were so gritty and realistic - made me think all the gadgets, vehicles and movement were real. Nolan knows his stuff.
There are parts of the story line they should have flushed out more and other parts they should have left alone. Still it is Batman and it was amazing to see him back in action.
The joker was stunning. Heath Ledger's final work is out of this world. Bummer this will be the last of it.
Might need to see it in IMAX.
Young Penfold:
From viewing the trailer I thought this was gonna be the absolute bomb.
How wrong I was. Hated it.
Went on WAY to long, and I had trouble keeping up with the story line. Also there were massive holes in the plotline, and the amount of times the film skipped from day to night, made the film seem like it was over a month long.
The only reason I didnt give the film 1star is because The Joker in this film is the coolest and darkest badguys I've ever seen in a film. Really slick. Shame the rest of the film sucked ass
Chopsticks:
One of my preferred locations to enjoy a flick.
I appreciate the cafe lounge area opposite the ticket counters. A great place to meet and have a cuppa before the movie. Also, because of the fact that Emporium is dwarfed, literally, by Paragon and Central, it is sometimes easier to get a decent last minute seat here. And the comfort factor here is on par with the rest of the best. Plus, the toilets aren't a half marathon away, just in case you enjoyed too much coffee prior.
Chopsticks:
Not as comfy as the more posh cinemas in Paragon, Central, etc.
Great mix of movie-goers here though. And ticket prices are noticeably cheaper than at the more up-market cinemas.
Chopsticks:
Top notch cinema in terms of comfort and picture/sound quality.
I watched Beowulf in 3-D here, the only place in town with the capability to screen digital 3-D. I'll reserve my comments about the movie itself but the special effects rocked!
Can be a bit taxing to get to the actual theater itself if you're in a hurry just due to the labyrinthine nature of Central World itself
Chopsticks:
The quality of the services and amenities offered here are great. Extremely comfortable seating with great sound system quality.
What I do notice about this location more than any other is that it seems the majority of the movie-goers (read hi-so) seem not to have a problem with taking mobile phone calls, even multiple phone calls, during the midst of the movie. At least for me this is the height of rude and disrespectful behaviour.
Also, especially in the early screening days of any film, the best seats sell out quick!
Chopsticks:
Good because this is one of the few cinemas in town that screens the lesser known films that garner great acclaim but still remain on the sideline in the shadows of Hollywood films.
Not good because this is the one theater so far in BKK where I have had complaints about the comfort of the seating and the spacing of the rows. If you're even just average height (for Westerners) you might find yourself squirming and fidgeting to try and get comfortable.
Chopsticks:
While I do enjoy a few hours strolling the corridors of MBK people watching and soaking in the barely contained chaos of the place, I can't say that I enjoy the movie viewing experience nearly as much.
I remember that the theaters themselves had an almost cramped feeling due to the smaller size plus that fact that there weren't all that many empty seats. Throw in the fact that as with many Thai venues, the audio levels bordered on deafening, and the sound system is nowhere near as nice as those in the newer cinemas.
