Everyone has their own reasons why it is difficult to create innovative films.

I believe that many screenwriters and directors have a script or project that they have held in their hands for a long time but have never had the opportunity to shoot, but market factors determine the conservatism of film companies.

In fact, Gilbert Jr. himself is a conservative type. He never invests in movies that he has never heard of or seen, so as to avoid failure.

To put it more deeply, this is the human nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

Charlie's article makes a lot of sense and many people agree with it, but no film company will make changes because they don't want to take the risk.

Back to "The Dark Knight Rises", perhaps it was because of God's blessing, or perhaps it was because the James Brown incident frightened those outlaws.

All in all, "The Dark Knight Rises" safely spent a very perfect weekend, and no terrible disaster occurred like in its previous life.

Although competitors are using the James Brown incident to brainwash the audience, going to the cinema to watch "The Dark Knight Rises" may be unsafe.

But after all, no real shooting happened. After the initial concerns, movie fans couldn't hold back and bravely walked out of their homes and into the cinema.

If another shooting occurs at this time, it will definitely cause public opinion to explode, and "The Dark Knight Rises" will also face severe tests.

But because such an incident happened before the premiere, the theater company also paid attention to safety issues, and the outlaws had calmed down, so no unfortunate incident occurred.

Under such circumstances, "The Dark Knight Rises" opened in 1924 theaters across the United States on Friday after earning $4505 million in the midnight screening.

The film took in 86.5% of the market and grossed $9860 million on Friday. Although it failed to break the $2388 million mark on the first day, the IMAX theater broke the single-day box office record of IMAX theaters with a total box office of $ million.

Although "The Dark Knight Rises" is a 2D movie, many movie fans still choose IMAX theaters as their first choice. With the increase in IMAX theaters nowadays, it is normal to break the record.

Although this record is insignificant, it is still very useful for the expansion of IMAX theaters.

In fact, in the past two years, due to a large number of shoddy 3D and IMAX movies, many viewers felt cheated and lost some confidence in this format.

Hollywood practitioners soon realized that IMAX and 3D were not a panacea, and the 3D wave took a short break after "Avatar".

However, the IMAX format still survives tenaciously in theaters thanks to the persistence of a few directors such as Gilbert Jr.

Many people think that IMAX is linked to 3D, but in fact, 3D is a three-dimensional viewing mode. IMAX is a viewing format, with a larger picture and more powerful sound to enhance the viewing experience.

But a movie cannot be made up entirely of IMAX shots, one reason being that it is not necessary, and the other is that it is too expensive.

The IMAX footage in "The Dark Knight Rises" accounts for 80 minutes, which is an exaggerated proportion for a movie with a running time of 164 minutes.

It is also because IMAX shots account for a large proportion that Warner Bros. Pictures focused on IMAX during its publicity and promotion.

Audiences who have watched "The Dark Knight Rises" in IMAX theaters also praised the performance of "The Dark Knight Rises" in the IMAX format.

Fox News interviewed several audience members who had just left the IMAX theater, and they generally gave positive reviews.

“Very, very shocking, an unparalleled viewing experience.”

"I recommend everyone to watch The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX format. The combination of the picture and the soundtrack gives you a grand and epic feeling, which is amazing." "The best effect of IMAX is the sound effect, especially the fight between Bane and Batman in the sewer. There is no soundtrack at all, only the sound of muscles colliding and water flowing, but it is very exciting."

There are also many discussions online about the IMAX viewing experience, but many viewers complain that they cannot get box office tickets and can only go to ordinary theaters to watch movies.

In fact, various new projection technologies have been continuously developing in recent years. For example, the Dolby Cinema, which focuses on sound experience, has better sound effects than the IMAX Cinema.

But after all, the IMAX theater provides an all-round experience, rather than focusing on just one aspect, and the experience effect is multiplied.

Of course, the Internet is not a harmonious place, and many fans of old Batman movies and comics have criticized Gilbert Jr.'s changes.

The reason for their criticism is that the changes in the film made Batman completely unlike Batman, which made many Batman fans very dissatisfied.

In fact, this kind of criticism has existed since the first "Batman Begins", and it has continued throughout the trilogy series.

Some fans have analyzed that Gilbert Jr.'s intentions can be seen from the title of the film.

From the first "Batman Begins" to "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises", there has been a change in the titles of the films, that is, the prefix "Batman" is gone.

When the media and audiences discuss the film, they usually add the word Batman, but the word Batman is not included in the released version of the film.

This is enough to show that young Gilbert tried his best to break away from the influence of comics.

Some fans also dug up an interview with Gilbert Jr. when the project of "Batman Begins" was first launched. He said that he wanted to create a different Batman movie than previous ones.

Judging from the trilogy, Gilbert Jr. did it.

The necessary price is that Batman may be different from the setting in the comics, but this does not affect the success of the film.

Some fans also defended Gilbert Jr. online: "Although Gilbert Jr.'s Batman trilogy made a lot of changes to the original plot, it did not shake the spiritual core of Batman at all, and it can be said that the presentation was very exciting.

Simply reproducing and copying the plots of old comics, cartoons, and old movies is not advisable and lacks innovation.

The trilogy can be said to be a brand new Batman series that combines settings from multiple comic books and character settings from multiple versions.

If fans have read the previous plots, they can still regard it as a Batman story in a parallel universe. There are many versions of Batman in the comics, which are much more outrageous than those in the trilogy.

Those who deny this work because of the major changes are just saying that they can only accept the Batman in their own hearts. There is nothing wrong with that. After all, each of us has our own Batman in our hearts.

From a film perspective, the trilogy created new images of Joker and Catwoman for us, and it is very successful in both the history of comic book movies and the history of superhero movies.”

Some fans also defended Gilbert's innovative ideas: "Many people may not understand why there is such a big controversy, and why the trilogy has polarized the Batman fan community.

In fact, it is mainly a problem of the way the content is presented. The old comic magazine model requires that the IP can be serialized for a long time. Among multiple superheroes, the more popular ones will be retained, and the less popular ones will be cut off, so the setting of heroes and villains is limited.

There is also a compromise between the serial artist's team and the fans. For them, the problem of wanting to innovate in popular characters but being afraid that fans will be dissatisfied has been going on for many years.

When innovating the way of presentation, both cartoons and movies encountered this problem, and whether they could be serialized was their consideration.
Gilbert Jr. is shooting a final chapter of a series, which does not need to be serialized. He only needs to create a new Batman story according to his own ideas, so this is also a kind of innovation. "(End of this chapter)
