Ridiculously difficult for me :(Įven though it has been stated numerous times above, I simply cannot write a comment without mentioning that these are two of the greatest sequels ever. Fabulous films both but I guess I'll go with Batman. Batman escaping on the batpod with Gotham cops in pursuit paints a truly sad and epic picture.
In TDK, Bruce takes the blame for Harvey's crimes, who is unable to prevent himself from getting brainwashed by The Joker. Of course, who can forget the tragic endings of these two fine films? Michael is a lonely fella at the top by the end of the movie with no loved ones around him. A disturbing transformation from the ideal Harvey to the menacing Two-Face. Eckhart's underrated performance is a treat to watch as well. Ledger and De Niro absolutely deserved their respective supporting actor oscars. Excellent performances by the supporting cast steal the show, more so in TDK than Part II. It's quite the opposite in the case of The Godfather II with almost the entire plot revolving around Michael who had been more of a supporting character in the original. Begins is all about Bruce where as The Dark Knight sort of sidelines him and focuses instead on Harvey and The Joker. Another difference is the weight the protagonists carry in the story. He was willing to take more risks than Coppola. You gotta give Nolan the credit for this. While The Godfather II continues the grand style and feel of the original, The Dark Knight's look is almost entirely different from that of Begins. Their respective approaches are vastly different though. The two greatest sequels ever made in my eyes (Empire who?).
