The even numbered Star Trek films are good (especially if you count Galaxy Quest) as are the odd numbered Indiana Jones films. I wonder if you could make something by combining just the good movies from each into a single series.
Also, Odradek, you’re forgetting the 1943 Batman serial movie, the 1949 Batman & Robin serial, and the greatest Batman film, nay, the greatest film ever, 1966's Batman: The Movie.
Because, some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.
Oh, there's a definite conservative aspect to them.
But the 'fascist' thing seems to me to be a case of the Hitler-ate-sugars; the argument (which is, as i understand it, popular on twitter, at least in the circle of people Odradek follows?) basically goes that he's a rich white dude who defeats mostly working-class criminals with brute physical force and there's this underlying implication that Batman is the best because he's the smartest and strongest and most good, even when his actions are morally questionable
but i feel it falls apart because he doesn't want to take power for himself and when he does something morally questionable as an audience we're clearly supposed to regard it as a moral dilemma; furthermore the criminals he fights are both clearly evil and very dangerous; it's not like he's just punching the poor or whatever

>Batman & Robin
>good
but I do honestly feel more interested in watching Batman & Robin than any of the Nolan films
I guess that's weird
>The Empire Strikes Back
>bad

Star Wars episodes > III are good... don't imagine this is remotely a controversial opinion.
Nowadays I prefer the original, but I still don't buy that TESB is a worse movie than Attack of the Clones.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
they're just technobabble
Like Indiana Jones in the fridge.
Midichlorians!
i don't buy the Nolan Batman being fascist thing, that seems like a real stretch

i can understand disliking the ideology of the movies, i just don't like when people throw the word 'fascist' around
