“With Batman&Robin, the fourth entry in the recent Batman movie series, the profitable franchise appears poised to take a nosedive. This film, which places yet another actor in the batsuit, has all the necessary hallmarks of a sorry sequel - pointless, plodding plotting; asinine action; clueless, comatose characterization; and dumb dialogue. Batman&Robin moves at a dizzying pace, yet goes absolutely nowhere.” ActionFilmMovingActorsSeriesSorryDialogueDumbPaceFourthProfitablePointlessEntrySequelsRobinsHallmarkCluelessCharacterizationBatman MovieComatose Author:James Berardinelli
“Die Hard represents the class of modern action pictures and the standard by which they must be judged. Few films falling into the "mindless entertainment" genre have as much going for them as this movie. Not only is it a thrill-a-minute ride, but it has one of the best film villains in recent memory, a hero everyone can relate to, dialogue that crackles with wit, and a lot of very impressive pyrotechnics.” HardActionFilmDiesFallMemoriesClassModernMinutesHeroStandardsEntertainmentWitDialogueRelateGenreJudgedVillainThrillImpressiveMindlessBest FilmVery ImpressivePyrotechnics Author:James Berardinelli
“Since I started making films, I've been a nut for dialogue. When I first saw Star Wars when I was 12 years old, I came home and recited all of the lines from it. Before I talked about Death Stars exploding and Tie Fighters I was talking about how funny Princess Leia was and how sarcastic Han Solo was. So to me that's always the most important thing, and I love hearing great actors say great lines.” YearsFirstsImportantWarHomeFilmActorsStarsLinesTalkingSawsImportant ThingsHearingDialogueFighterTiesSarcasticNutsPrincessSoloGreat ActorsExplodingLeiaDeath Star Author:Bryan Singer

“My understanding of films was just as much as any young girl who watches Bollywood films.

“I enjoyed Jonathan Franzen's 'Freedom.' Would I make that into a film? I think it's better suited to television. That would very much be a dialogue and performance piece, and it would take some very skilful direction - but not my kind of directing. But I thought it was a real literary work.” ThinkingKindRealFilmPiecesTelevisionPerformancesDialogueEnjoyedLiterary Works Author:Peter Weir
