And yes, it IS one of the greatest movies ever made. It is full of characters and conversations that make you think, top notch acting, amazing action sequences, an incredible score that gets your blood pumping, makes you think about society, all while finally doing Batman and Joker correctly on the big screen. It goes up there with movies like Lord of the Rings, Clockwork Orange, Shawshank Redemption, Inception, and The Maltese Falcon.

I am glad you enjoy the film. I do not share your opnion regarding it. I find it to be overblown and self-important, with atrocious dialogue, several "leaps of logic" style holes, and a lot of recycled elements from other, better stories. But this is not a thread about Batman, it's a thread about Gokaiger.

And regarding Gokaiger, yes, it's an anniversary series. But there are ways to do an anniversary series which are not so over the top and beating you over the head with the fanboy stuff that you lose the story and forward momentum. The meka in general are sacrificed at the altar of selling as many add on toys as possible, and even in the early parts of the series the meka aspect suffers because of it. Gokaioh is a cool meka, but we rarely get to see him, and his component elements are (save the Gokai Galleon) a waste. I would have rather seen Gokai Galleon itself turn into Gokaioh ala Megaranger rather than have 4 extra random vehicles.

Again. Gokaiger is still a good series. So far I have mostly enjoyed it. Hell, I even like Wals Gil! (He cracks me up, what can I say?) But it stops dead in its tracks too often. And for an action show, that's a big hurdle in my opinion.
