      <![CDATA[(cont.d)<br /><br />And yet 'AI' surpassed all our expections and we personally describe it in one line as: "The Most Realistic Non-Exaggerated Practical Scientific Movie ever made". Even though based on a researched material, 'AI' stands on its own <br /><br />without actually needing a reference to the base-material most of the times.

      <![CDATA[I should point out that Henry is the author of the post, not myself.<br /><br />Batman/Bergman is a bit too much of a high art/low art dichotomy for my tastes, but given the amount of pressure on critics to take this movie Seriously, I think it's probably justifiable to remind people where exactly Batman really stands on the Seriousness Continuum (for those of you who don't have the widget).

      <![CDATA[I think that Bergman reference is understandable...at least, I understand the desire for the B___man connection in the language. (Bat Man, not Berg Man.)  I probably wouldn't have done it myself, but I sympathize.

      <![CDATA[Mark's analysis of the board-troll's reactions is accurate and absolutely hilarious, and the board flow from "we hate your review" to "we hate critics" to "we hate NY" is pretty amazing. Henry's comments that Mark's post is focussed on those trolls (rather than substantive discussion) is also dead on, and the fanboy distinction is important.<br /><br />I have to ask though, you don't find Fear's review even a little pretentious?

      <![CDATA[Why do some automatically denigrate outspoken fans of Batman and other "comic-book movies", which don't really need to be treated differently than any other fictional movies, as "fanboys"? This is clearly derogatory especially as a reference to anyone who is an adult, as many of the fans are and of which there is a growing number.
