The Dark Knight Rises

The only batman movie I liked was the one with Danny Devito. Batman Returns, I think? Penguin was my favorite. Such an evil little man.

Have you seen it in the last 10 years or so? I would've agreed with you because I remember it being awesome from my childhood, but I grabbed a copy from my local library and gave it a whirl a few months ago and it didn't age well.

Yes, it's his worst. And it's not even close, other than The Prestige which I think is slightly better and his no name flicks he did before Memento. So how is this ridiculous? Which movie is his worst if not this? This movie was rife with flaws. I listed 12 already and have a few more off the top of my head including perhaps the most important which spycam1 already detailed--Bane's backstory and MO, and if I didn't really detail it before, the overall direction of the movie. Nolan's films for me have always been very deliberately paced and have a sort of suave, sophisticated feel to them imo. This one was clunky and all over the place.

And while I am going to see it again today, seeing it a second time won't erase these flaws for me. They're not, oh I didn't like this or like that. These were just obvious gaping holes (for me I guess) in the script and direction of the movie. And Dutch, you're a pretty fair guy actually. But just so you know, I honestly have no problem with complicated or twists. I loved Inception and Vanilla Sky is one of my favorite movies. This movie was not complicated at all--there were simply some reveals late in the game. And for me, it was just all over the place. I have no idea what agreements were hashed out or contractually agreed to, but it felt so sloppy at points that I couldn't help but wonder whether they had to have this done for this summer, rather than next, because The Man of Steel is slated for 2013.

I like how you're acting like some movie snob in your review. Maybe it was the worst in the trilogy but Dark Knight Rises is still millions of miles above any other Super Hero movie, and that's being nice.

Where was your review of that pile of crap called Avengers or Spiderman?

Christopher Nolan's poo log is better than most films. Just be grateful and don't act like a snob because you think there are a few errors in the film.

Just saw Dark Knight Rises.
MAJOR MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!! (HIGHLIGHT TO SEE):


My two complaints:
1- Should've been an hour longer.
Character development was a little poor IMO except for Officer Blake...he was probably my favorite character. Relationships felt unreal. Am I supposed to believe that a super hot chick will make out with Bruce if he saves her from the rain, Bruce should've seen it coming. She was a business client, there didn't seem to be any romantic fire before whatsoever.
Also, the movie needed more time to show how Gotham was during the reign of Bane. Along with that, Bruce's recovery was awfully fast for how brutal that fight ended. And why was Bruce going out with Selina Kyle at the end if he is supposedly dead??

2- Bane- Is he a brute following orders, or a mastermind? Wish I knew his real story. They could've taken time to tell that because Bane clearly has issues.


Other than that, I thought the movie was real good. Epic. I don't want to rank the 3 movies but they're all a complete notch above most movies I've seen.
I need to see it a second time around because I don't think I fully understood it. Fun movie and it's hard to keep up with the crazy expectations this movie had.

No, I have not. And I probably won't now.

Opinion, man. I did not like any of the movies in this trilogy. I continued to see them in hopes that they would impress. Saw TDKR Friday morning, got my money back at the end of the movie.

To each their own.

I wasn't interested but my wife was. I'll watch a movie with an open mind regardless of what it is and judge from there.

No, I haven't seen the new Spiderman yet. I'll probably go see it today. I'm sure it will at least be better than the Toby McGuire and Keirstin Dunst garbage.
