Videos Compile Everything Wrong With 'Looper,' 'Prometheus' And 'The Dark Knight Rises'
In 2012, nitpicking movies became the latest online craze. Everyone got wrapped up in it. Some may blame the movies, but I blame fans with video editing skills who make videos like the ones below.
Three of the year's most discussed movies – Rian Johnson's Looper, Ridley Scott's Prometheus and Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises – are the latest to get "Everything Wrong With In 3-4 Minute" videos from CinemaSins. And while the latter two are mostly warranted, the former is such a stretch, even the director spoke out about it. Check it out below.
Here's the latest video from CinemaSins, centering on Looper. Obviously, they didn't watch our video talking to Johnson about many of these things. There's more below.
Johnson responded to the video on Twitter, and he's right, this one is a bit much. It's a time travel movie.
And here are the other two videos which I have less of an issue with. Where do you stand?
