Iron Maiden Virtual XI

I have to be honest: every time I see a review of the Maiden (especially those double, triple, or quadruple ones), I go crazy with joy because I can already taste the comments that will arise...

@supersoul
I completely agree: if what you say is true, he is clearly a misfit; it's hard for me to see anything exemplary in a story like this.
@Surferkangaroo
Can you explain to me a bit better this idea that, in the end, we would all be misfits? Because honestly, I really don't get it...

I haven't seen the movie, but it seems that rhetoric and clichés are running wild. I'm always skeptical of stories like this, especially when they claim to teach you great truths about life: I'm fully convinced that a perfectly ordinary person who has never stepped outside their home and has led a perfectly normal life as a bank employee can teach me just as much as someone who makes choices similar to those of the protagonist of the film. One does not depend on what they do or the places they visit, but on who they are. After all, Horace said it quite a while ago that caelum mutant non animum qui trans mare currunt. One last thing for supersoul: what do you mean by "si sappia saputo contenere"? Is it a new form of neologism? :D

But was it really necessary to review this shit? It's by far the worst Maiden album: damn, even Steve Harris noticed it. Oh well, let's console ourselves with Live After Death coming out these days (from England, I've heard that pre-order shipments start today... heh heh heh).

But what do you know about what people expect before entering a theater? Now it seems to me that we are exaggerating a bit... I'm not saying that part of the audience thought the way you say (it seems obvious to me), but to assert with such certainty that EVERYONE felt that way seems really exaggerated to me.

"Batman is a comic book read mostly by children or teenagers." This sentence might have made sense in the 60s, but not in 1988 when Burton's Batman was released. Warner didn't even consider making a film for children or teenagers but rather a film that was "also" for teenagers; otherwise, they wouldn't have hired Tim Burton. Your statement seems like a stereotype, nothing more. Finally, the film based on a "more successful" comic, according to your initial idea, should be Sin City (practically identical to the comic) and certainly not Dick Tracy (which felt like a poor imitation of the comic).

Wait a moment, I never said that Schumacher's is a good movie; it seems obvious to me that it's just a classic mega-budget film aimed solely at making money, with a big goodbye to everything else. As for Nolan, I stand by my opinion: his Batman is even worse than Schumacher's because it has the added aggravation of "blowing each other," as the good old Mr. Wolf would say.

@bjirky
But Schumacher's was meant to be a loud spectacle: they did it on purpose that way. I don't understand this underlying attitude of accusing everything that "isn't" something. It would be like saying that a microwave oven's instruction manual is unpleasant to read because it's poorly written...
