Quote:This is not something that is overdone in his "Star Trek (in name only)" film either. Even J.J. Abrams has admitted to his overuse of lens flares in his films. Oh, and lol.Originally Posted by Ironik
I've heard a couple people say they didn't notice them, which strikes me as odd, because they are EVERYwhere. -
Quote:100% agree. In my experience Regen is still vastly outshined by SR and SD on iTrials and I would go so far as to say normal content as well. It's a great set pre-20. After that, it just outlives its usefulness IMO.Originally Posted by Diesel Punk
If thats all it's not enough to pull the set out of the gutter for end game stuff.
Oh, and

Quote:That would be the intelligent thing to do, and since the writers are not that imaginative, they went with what little "plot" (if you can call it that) they came up with.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
The thing that bugged me about the film was already mentioned by someone else. Why didn't that stupid Romulan take his damn ship to Romulus and
A. Warn them about the supernova. and
B. Give them a huge leap forward in technology.
Even if the darn thing is just a mining ship there's a lot of stuff that's far in advance of what the Romulans currently had. -
Quote:At least God didn't have mindnumbing, blinding lens flares every 3 seconds. Not to mention, ST V answered the burning question of why Captain Kirk was climbing a mountain.Originally Posted by Lord_Nightblade
Really? The whales bother you more than God needing a starship?
How would they see him through all the lens flares?Quote:Originally Posted by Arcanaville
You parade him around in the newest shiny starship on a goodwill tour of the Federation, to encourage people to sign up, and drum up support to rebuild the fleet. -
Quote:And it didn't have any lens flares!Originally Posted by Lothic
His story made for a good movie too.

Quote:Paul Steinhardt, one of the proponents of Brane theory, discusses this question a bit hereOriginally Posted by Socorro
Outside of conjecture, is there any real evidence that any universe outside our own exist? Will I ever be able to peek into these other universes in any way? Will I ever observe their effects?

Quote:Bah... forgot about that Toxic resist in there. My mistake.Originally Posted by Selina_H
IIRC, heal set bonuses don't apply to heal powers that also contain a resistance component. Since Recon grants Toxic resist, the bonus does not apply.

Quote:Most, not all. Spock was a capable commander in his own right with many years more experience. Spinning it doesn't make it any less of a weak plot concept. Promoting Kirk like that cheapens the character IMO.Originally Posted by Tannim222
Don't forget that in said film, most of the fleet had been destroyed,

Quote:Thought they boosted Reconstruction as well? All things considered, I much prefer my SR and SD scrappers over my Regen at 50(+).Originally Posted by Elegost
Also those 4% heal set bonuses don't do anything for you. They make dull pain heal more. That's all.
Regen needs an overhaul IMO. It's great for the early game, but becomes lackluster compared to defense sets later on. Just my 2 inf.
Nice build though.

Quote:No one. It isn't humanly possible. Ricardo Montalban was the only human being capable of being more overdramatic than Shatner.... that's no ordinary feat.Originally Posted by Nericus
As for Khan......ok honestly now, WHO could possibly play Khan with the same charisma, magnetism and power that Ricardo Montalbon conveyed?
J.J. Abrams and crew don't have it in them to write a decent, original story IMO. I'll be skipping this next film. These flicks are just Star Trek in name only to me. -
Quote:Precisely, thank you.Originally Posted by Lothic
I think you're reading a little too much into my take on this. If Hathaway's character decides she's going to wear cat ears just because it'd be a fun way to mock Batman's outfit then I'd be fine with that too. I just don't think she's going to automatically wear them because as Catwoman she's "supposed" to. As we said Ledger's Joker wore the clown paint to "scare" people. I figure if Hathaway wears the ears it'll be for another reason other than "her character requires it".

Quote:Can't help it if you're reading it wrong.Originally Posted by Cowman
Which implies that Catwoman wearing cat ears would be campy and silly looking.
Nice try though.

Quote:Not at all what is being said, but nice try though.Originally Posted by Cowman
And a costume from the comic book, like Catwoman's, AUTOMATICALLY equals silly.

Quote:I'll never forget Gene Shalot reviewing Star Wars when it came out as a "nothing movie that would go nowhere".Originally Posted by Lothic
Rottentomatoes.com currently has Rise of the Planet of the Apes rated at 81% with 129 favorable reviews against 30 unfavorable ones. I basically never rely on any one single review of a movie good or bad.

Quote:Leonard Nimoy was in the last Trek movie? Really? I couldn't see him through all the lens flares and camera shakes.Originally Posted by Lothic
Frankly I still believe the absolute worst thing the Star Trek reboot did was subject us to a bit of universe-shattering time travel nonsense just to be able to have an excuse to have 10 more minutes of screentime with Leonard Nimoy.

Quote:Exactly.Originally Posted by Lothic
That's why a suggested a few days ago that maybe we'll see a scene where she uses some kind of safe-cracking listening device which coincidentally looks sort of like cat ears. Maybe they'd be a direct rip-off of ear-tech she stole from Batman, who knows. They would be functional like that. Otherwise I don't really need her to wear them as part of her "expected uniform" unless there's a vaguely-realistic reason for it.

Quote:That line of dialogue had nothing to do with people running around in campy, silly costumes. You will also recall the henchman at the beginning of TDK saying the Joker wore makeup like "warpaint to scare people". He didn't wear the clown makeup to be silly looking.Originally Posted by Cowman
I mean, I know Nolan kinda set the stage for stuff like that with the Joker's whole "you've changed things speech";

Quote:There are clear visual differences between the body armor worn by Batman in the films vs. the spandex costume in the comics. The suit itself in the Nolan films serves a functional purpose.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
Yeah, it's the trouble with having eyes - one notices visual differences.
They would if they serve no real purpose. Watch Batman Begins again. Both the ears and cape served a functional purpose. The ears hide the microphones/antannae for his listening devices and the cape serves as a gliding device.Quote:Cat ears don't equal camp any more than bat ears. We're probably lucky Nolan didn't get rid of the cape.
Having cat ears for the sake of having cat ears to satiate the comic nerd purist lends nothing to the film and makes the character come off as silly. -

Quote:In your opinion. Personally, I'd rather Nolan and company stick to their "grounded in reality" theme than start going campy just to satiate hardcore comic nerds.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
Without them she doesn't really look like Catwoman.

Quote:And Selina Kyle will most likely look like Catwoman. She will just have a costume design that Nolan and crew found acceptable to their vision of the character.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
However, they didn't use that as an excuse to not make him look like Two-Face.
Personally, I'm quite happy to not see her in cat ears. She doesn't need them IMO. -
Quote:Harvey Dent was essentially always referred to as "Harvey" or "Dent" in TDK. Gordon only referred to him as "Two Face" one time during his brief conversation with Dent in the hospital. It makes sense to me that Selina Kyle will not be referred to as "Catwoman" in this film.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
That's pretty disappointing. The 'she's really only appearing as Selina Kyle' cop-out is just that - a cop-out.

Quote:I remember the TV show Manimal. I also remember Automan. Those two shows, much like the original BSG, are remembered by me personally as being cheesy and campy. I don't remember them for being what I would consider quality television.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Next time try picking a movie or show that people might actually recognize. The original BSG may not have lasted long but people have heard of it.

Quote:This isn't unique to the Hulk though. Superman and other characters of their power levels are the same in many respects.Originally Posted by rian_frostdrake
eh, for some, myself included, he is too gokuized. nothing can beat him, nothing can stop him, he is written by some as a walking i win button, so there is no tension, other than within himself.
