THE DARK KNIGHT RISES REVIEW THREAD [SPOILERS]

[Breh Obama]

Saw it again this afternoon.

Still a mess. Definitely not as great on multiple watches and not as epic as The Dark Knight.

One thing I didn't catch last time...at what point did Selina know Bruce = Bats? It's never explicitly clear when they are in scenes together, but when Blake asks her if they killed Bruce Wayne, she says "she doesn't know"....obviously meaning she left him with them.

But when they're on the bridge later they still act like his identity is a secret.

....and the entire plan of threatening to detonate a nuclear bomb that is going to detonate itself in 12-hours ANYWAY is just a disaster. The whole "take back your city/find the triggerman/" arc was a mess too.

...and the cops marching to certain death was still fukking ridiculous.


Oh, and I wish they'd have made Blake's discovery of Wayne/Bats more than "I saw it in your eyes when I was 10" I mean, let that be a spark, but then let him actually dig something up or connect other dots. As it plays, it's just a writing cop-out imo.



None of the big problems I had with the film were resolved on a second watch.

Thats cuz u didnt pay attention. Twice.
Selina learned Bruce was Batman when she brought Bats to meet Bane and Bane was like " Mistuh Wayneuhhhh" and Selina was all

hmmm in the shooting script it says miranda tate is in her 30's, so does that mean BANE is in his 50's???

I really have no idea why people go to watch films and spend their time picking up on little plot inaccuracies that have pretty much nothing to do with whether or not the film is any good.

Just seen this movie yesterday afternoon..

Some thoughts..

- Should have been two movies. But impressive that Nolan was able to jam it all together. And make it coherent and easy to fallow..

- Lot's of plot holes, but still nothing big when compared to other comic movies.

- I was worried about Anne Hathaway being cast as Cat Women. But god damn, she killed it. Phenomenal job by Hathaway, her on the Bat Bike..

- Tom Hardy knocked it out the park as Bane. Top notch villain. Nolan can create a villain. And not only can create a villain, he can create a villain where you are like, "this dude is cool, I would ride with him. But he has some issues"..

- Hans Zimmer. Mother fukking Hans Zimmer. If I was given a genie, after wishes that dealt with money and p*ssy. The next wish would be Hans Zimmer scoring my life. He really carried this movie man. Outstanding music throughout the movie. Hans was just having fun out there..

I am sure there is more to add. But I am still digesting and forgetting. Great movie that really completes the trilogy. Good stuff.




O/T

This is the first movie I have gone to the theatre to see since, I think American Gangster. And it re affirms my position that I hate going to the movie theatre. I wanted to put a hacking old man out of his misery. And destroy two hillbilly d-bags who where running commentary. Just saying..

You fight like a younger man.
Nothing held back. No reserves.
Admirable. But mistaken.

You think darkness is your ally.
But you merely adopted the dark. I
was born in it. Formed by it...

I didn’t see the light until I was
already a man. And by then it was nothing to me but blinding...

The shadows betray you, because
they belong to me...

I will show you where I’ve made my
home while preparing to bring
justice. Then...I will break you.

Selina learned Bruce was Batman when she brought Bats to meet Bane and Bane was like " Mistuh Wayneuhhhh" and Selina was all

1, that was a very minor issue I had, and I guess I did miss that. Don't know why Wayne referred again to his "powerful friend" when he came back to Gotham then

But that had no impact on whether it was a good movie or not....to me.

The actual plot/story, disregarding any minor holes, was the bigger problem....a lot of half baked ideas that weren't delivered on.

COME AT ME BRAH!!!!!!!

I was thinking the other day had Heath not died if Joker and Bane were in this movie how sick it would've been. I don't know if the world was ready to witness that amount of swag on screen all at once.

Could you imagine if the Joker was the judge?
