Subject: So I finally saw The Dark Knight Rises.

no its legit, i used coordinates, set weapon timers the works.

I thought it was pretty good, but not great. To me there just wasn't very much Batman like moments.

I personally think the Dark Knight was a lot better.

Agreed. The Dark Knight had continuous scenes of action and events that kept me hooked. TDR was forgettable and honestly Bane is the dumbest villain. The Joker was way better developed.

  • 12.14.2012 8:18 PM PDT

Yeah, I did find the Dark Knight to be a little better, but towards the end of DKR it was actually pretty good, Christy Nolan got me with that last scene with Batman. I actually believed it.

What I meant by Batman moments was, in the Dark Knight and Batman Begins, he was doing a lot of flying and fighting. Not so much this time around. All he did pretty much the entire movie was fly around in the new Bat Wing.

Well I was agreeing with the DK being better, and then stated why :P

One thing that stood out to me was just how pedestrian he was in TDKR. Sure, I understand he has an aircraft now, and that he wasn't in great shape physically, but using his grappling gun to whip around the rooftops like, well, like a bat.... that's quintessential Batman for me.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

I thought it was almost on par with TDK.

And lol, people who don't understand the story call everything a plot-hole.

Huh?

I understood the story and I didn't see any plot-holes.

Disagree. Thought it was the best one in the trilogy.

It's still a really good film, it's just that the costume loses a bit of impact when it isn't flapping around like a demon.

  • 12.14.2012 8:26 PM PDT

The Dark Knight was better.

I agree.

The film was good, just not great in my opinion. What made the Dark Knight so great was how all the characters evolved throughout the film which made the film all together more intense.

I agree. It was back to the sub-greatness of Batman Begins. I think one reason is Christopher Nolan cannot direct a good classic style fight scene, and The Dark Knight had almost no fight scenes--it was much more about chasing the bad guy. There was one fight scene so bad in The Dark Knight Rises that I was actually struggling to hold in my laughter, but most of Nolan's fight scenes are just boring and stale.

Laugh?.I laugh at your ridículos opinión and how you think you are right.

Nolan doesn't create the fighting they hire profesional stuntmen.

Dark Knight > Dark Knight Rises > Batman Begins. All great movies though.

Will someone pick up and make another movie with Robin? Otherwise I dont get the point of leaving the ending open like that. Though, I had a feeling the entire time Blake was Robin.

It could be called "The Dark Knight Returns"

  • 12.14.2012 8:42 PM PDT

Break down, every single one of you.

I have to agree. The Dark Knight was the crown jewel of the trilogy, but The Dark Knight Rises was still fantastic.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I watched it yesterday and liked it, but not nearly as much as The Dark Knight.

Signatures are for little kids.

Everyone I know that saw it said it was bad and long so I'm not going to bother.

Didn't like the other Nolan Batman movies very much, and from what I read of the plot of TDKR it sounds more like a comedy.

Nolan doesn't create the fighting they hire profesional stuntmen.

Whatever Nolan's involvement with the action sequences, it is his job as director to call anything on the set or in the production (if that is his directing style, which it is) as good or bad--as meeting his standards or not. What I saw either passed his judgment or someone else's judgement with or without his approval.

Your notion that a person's opinion is "ridiculous" for being (deeply) at odds with your own is either foolish or overstated. And by nature of thinking anything, I must think that I'm right. That's sort of the nature of thinking anything, even uncertainty, and much more a subjective subject like this.

What is not subjective is I was deafinately laughing during the fight scene where Batman, in an effort to save Cat Woman, swoops down to fight "karate style" with over a dosen armed men with clear, open lines of sight. I definately reacted that way to that scene (as well as my sister who I was with). The popostrousness of that scene was a bit more than I could bear. Superhero movies already have a lot going against them in that department. That scene offered no service.

I really think after TDK, people overhyped themselves for DKR. I went in with the approach that TDK was a once a great while movie and this won't top it. It wasn't a bad movie, but I'm glad I went in with that mindset.

"Right now it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus is, hilariously, orbiting the sun sideways while Venus spins backwards. We sit here on a planet marked with collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet doomed to be fried in radiation as its magnetic fields collapse, until the sun grows and leaves nothing of the earth but dust. Here we sit, glasses on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, and we say "Behold the perfect ORDER of it all!""

While that me be true, but you have to admit, that first scene with Batman in the tunnel after he EMPs all the lights and. then throws that guy of his bike.

That was -blam!- awesome. Hell that entire chase scene was brilliant.
