Effective, yeah. Both positively, negatively, and ultimately, unfairly.

So....neener neener.

It's one of three comparisons and the Comparisons work.

What I was speaking of was relevant, if you . . . Didn't notice. Unless of course Box Office ratings are irrelevant to movies? Or me talking about the comparison I created for this thread are irrelevant? Please. Save me the Pseudo-babble.

Pseudo-babble make absolutely no sense. Yes, box office EARNINGS are irrelevant when deciding the QUALITY of a movie. The way by which you pit these two movies are irrelevant as well, in matching BO grosses.

Dunno why you're bringing this back up NOW, because I'm so far over it.

Batman Begins hands down.

I think both Bale and Cruise are good actors, Cruise gets a lot of flak but that has a lot to do with how whacked his private life is.

Bale is more behind the scenes, not open for public mockery, which is really good for his career in my opinion.

As for the movies... Batman Begins is definately the winner, great acting, awesome story. It was exactly what the Batman franchise needed, hands down the best portrayal of the Dark Knight thus far.

Box Office numbers have nothing to do with how good a movie is, but reflect how effective the marketing was and how much pulling power the names have.

I dont know. Theres been some bad marketing campaigns and the movies ended up being successes.

I'm going for Batman Begins. I did like War of the Worlds, don't get me wrong, and I thought Cruise was great in it. But overall, Batman Begins kicked it's ass, and it stuck with me more. So I'll share my answers, although I guess I arleady answered it, heh (sorry)

1.) War of the Worlds did great in the box office.
2.) Batman Begins
3.) Batman Begins

Batman begins is better war of the worlds is a remake so I go the Bat movie because it was more orginal even though it was based of a comic

Tom Cruise is just a Biatch.

😆

f*ckin Newsies.

That was great.

I haven't thought about that movie in years.

("How bout a crooked politican? Hey stupid that aint news noooo moooree"😉

Yeah, WOTW was great popcorn stuff, real good fun to watch, but Batman shits all over it.

...and the fifth Batman movie.
And War of the worlds was a good remake to me, it was more like in the book (tripods par exemple).

Batman Begins was indeed the fifth Batman film to be made, but keep in mind it is completely separate from the rest of the Batman movies. It's a restart of the franchise, not a continuation.

War of the worlds was great, but batman begins was even better.

yeah some people have the mistaken impression that its a continution and sequel of the other batman movies when it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with those movies because like you said,its a restart of the franchise with no afflition from the other films whatsoever.

Can't believe WOTW didn't win the Oscar for Best effects out of those 3 movies...How cool did that tripod first look when it came out of the ground?

That alone was better than anything in the other films. Not as many effects as Kong though I guess...

Batman Begins hands down.
