THE DARK KNIGHT RISES REVIEW THREAD [SPOILERS]

[Based Lord Zedd]

Movie would've been more powerful if batman died and they didn't pull the rug out from under Bane at the end.

Felt like the need for twists and that happy ending caused too many holes to pop up.

 

[Megatron Island]

Throughly impressed. Just got back frm watching it at the theater. Easily my favorite in the trilogy, and one of my favorites movies of all-time period.

Anne Hathaway was nearly flawless in her Catwoman role, which was my biggest worry for this movie coming in because I knew everyone else was gonna handle their business. I just became a big fan of hers.

Ras Al Ghul was Wayne's subconscious figuring things out, like the human brain has a tendency to do, even with no hallucinations. Think of "ah-ha!" moments.

Don't trust a big butt and a smile

Even Batman can't resist a fine woman

Seriously the Talia story line was weak and it was not developed enough for me

Also, It would've been good to have a short scene, could've been twenty seconds, to show where Alfred was during the 5 month "no man's land" period in Gotham. If he left Gotham after leaving Wayne's employment, they could've easily had a shot of him watching events unfold on television from somewhere, just to give the audience on update on where he was. Seemed a bit weird to have him play a big part early on in the film and then just disappear until the end.

T line where he was like, "You simply adopted the dark. I was born in it." was colllllld

 

[AkaDemiK]

"what a lovely voice"

 

[Roid Jones]

I loved how they handled Bane v Batman duel 1, the brutality shown was right on point.

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

And wow at the people even contemplating that Batman surviving was just some inception dream. That doesn't even make sense. He lived for a few reasons:

-fans want the happy ending and to see the good guy live
-keeps more options open for future movies which means more $$

looked like they wanted to have him die but were too shook to pull the trigger so they threw in the autopilot explanation to save him. Even though batman is not getting the bomb out of the city AND ejecting/escaping a 6 mi blast radius. Was insulting to the audience to show him in the plane right before the explosion then have him magically live.

The suits would never let Batman die

 

[Megatron Island]

Man, I had the face when Bane threw Batman to the ground after he grabbed him out the dark, then cracked his mask with those jackhammer-like punches in their first fight.

First fight just felt hopeless.

 

[PortCityProphet]

Good movie. Real good. That last fight scene was great. Wish it was longer. I couldn't help but crack up when the police man were charging at the criminals gettin shot up shyt had me laughing hard
And there was 1 thing that bothered me. I think a scene was out of order.

Spoiler

The policemen go to "court" and after sentencing Bane was like bring her to me. Then a scene later when they capture Wayne and throw him with fox Shes's with Fox with the rest of the captives then later she's captured with Bane solo. Idk just seemed odd to me.
And also how Wayne get back in the city? I wish they woulda showed how

 

[malbaker86]

I loved it and I think it's best people try and not compare it to TDK; different movies

Dweebs on the net are saying Superman brought him back................folk really want this Justice League film really bad

 

[Roid Jones]

Foley was getting it in until the Urban Assault Tank came through

 

[thaKEAF]

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Was hyped to see it but not as much as a lot of other people. Think it might have beat out the second movie but probably need to rewatch to confirm that opinion. Great movie easily one of the best of the year and best super hero flick this year.

 

[Human Torch]

Nah, no one cheered. It was like watching someone we cared about get destroyed right in front of us.

This is what happened during that scene in my theater.

*fight starts*



*everyone realizes Bruce is outmatched within 30 seconds*



After Bane threw Bruce over the catwalk you couldnt hear a thing in my theater. When he cracked his mask with those punches it was a bunch of "oh my god, no" in the room. You don't see superhero's get this abused in movies.

When he picked him up in the air...everyone knew what was coming and it was a collective "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" that lead to

Nolan not using any music during that scene made it even more chilling. All you heard were Bane's punches/kicks and Batman screams/howls

I said the same this. This was probably my favorite scene of the trilogy
