The who wishes, fervently wishes

The fact that there wasn't a main giant antagonist was what was awesome about it. The double-take when you realized that Bane was just a pawn was pretty impressive.

Right from the get-go I noticed some rather silly elements in this film. First, notice Bain's voice.

I was going to read your review until you came out with this. I'm shocked at how wrong a man could be. How could you not love the voice, the quotes!

you killed poonflip!

the flippiest poon i ever knew!

I read the whole thing.

I must say that i was surprised to find myself agreeing with many of your points. While i still enjoy the film, it certainly could have been better.

lol, stopped reading when OP spelled Bane 'Bain'.

And I could perfectly understand Bain and loved the voice. Quite menacing.
Please tell me that your typo is intentional.

Get the hell off my planet!

I would have to watch another time or two to let it sink in. To me, all three Nolan films are a bit dragged out, and edited in a sub-par way in a lot of scenes, such as when Batman is on the motorcycle chasing Joker through Gotham in TDK, or the first hour of Batman Begins.

I thought it was great, but there are still a few things that bug me, one which you didn't explicitly mention in your OP:

How the hell did Bruce get back to Gotham?!

Your opinion is irrelevant, the Movie was amazing.

The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates
The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead's the rising of the horns, ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days I will have to run, away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste of the blood on my lips, again

No way in hell I'm reading all that.

Anyway, yea. I didn't like it very much.

  • 11.26.2012 7:42 PM PDT

People give TDK trilogy too much credit than what its asking for. Its just -blam!- Batman, not some Oscar-worthy movie that was aimed to get critical acclaim.


This is why I liked The Avengers better.

You just saw it for the first time last night?

...on DVD?

  • 11.26.2012 7:50 PM PDT

I used to be indecisive, but now i'm not sure.

Captain, you just put my thoughts into words and done so extremely well.
The Dark Knight Rises focuses way too much on the spectacle that in the process the plot is lost and strung together rather poorly.
So many useless subplots eg the leg brace

In the very end, I also do not like the right-wing political bias in the Dark Knight Rises. You would have to be stupid not to notice it. Bane is the personification of Marxism and the working-class/proletariats, whereas Batman is the embodiment of Capitalism--the savior of Capitalism. The violence erupting in Gotham is obviously supposed to represent a Marxist revolution. Hence the mock-trials where the rich bourgeoisie are being tried and killed. Or when Bane says that it is "necessary evil" or something along those lines. In the very end, Marxism is demonized as the source of evil in the film, and the Capitalists are portrayed as the innocent, and Capitalism (Batman) ultimately prevails over Marxism (Bane).

Just saw it. Loved most of it except Bane. Too hard to understand and his death was too abstract. Also, anne hathaway just doesn't look like the right choice for the role.

Otherwise, good movie despite its political undertones, but it's obvious The Joker was the superior villain. The film was missing his electrifying performance.

Loved the double plot twist. 8/10 would rewatch again.

EDIT: I also liked the fight in front of the bank/jail, other than the cringe worthy dialogue between bane and batman and the poor camera angle before their fight. The pros with Bane over The Joker was that they could fist fight.

Well, I liked it.

  • 11.27.2012 2:10 AM PDT

yeah everyone asked the question "where is batman?"

I was wondering why there was so little of him as well.

ME2 was known for stupidity and being retarded

I can agree that it was nowhere near as great as The Dark Knight, and a little worse than Begins.

I stopped following him because I got tired of the political bull -blam!- he posted every day.

Watch this

Oh hey another one of the few intelligent people who saw the movie for the flaws it had instead of blinding themselves with the "NOLAN CAN DO NO WRONG YAYBATMAN THIS IS A PERFECT ENDING TO THE TRILOGY" mentality.

Good for you OP, I whole heartidly agree.
