THE DARK KNIGHT RISES REVIEW THREAD [SPOILERS]
- Thread starter The_King_of_Everything
- Start date
Finally saw it last night.. good movie but definitely on the disappointing side though. Bane was ill until the ending, plus in some parts I couldn't even understand what he was saying. The Talia twist was not needed at all. Plus we never got to see her skills. We definitely needed more Batman and maybe a little less Catwoman. Didn't Batman get stabbed or not? He was so flabby n sick in this one throughout.
-I didn't care about some of the plotholes like how did he get back to Gotham from the prison in the desert. You just have to assume he'll be back in the middle of things with no questions asked. Yeah the pacing was off and some scenes dragged on too long. If Gotham looked different or weird to you then that's because the wide panning shots were NYC and all the close/tight shots were in Downtown LA. I was like, "wait a minute, I thought they were in Manhattan.. but the next shot(during the same action/fight scene) they're in LA.
-Good acting though.. entertaining film.

I wouldn't mind a Selena Kyle prequel tho

1.) your theater (not hating or trolling) got a wack sound system if you could not understand bane at times. from whut i was informed some theaters speaker systems aren't as top notch making certain things not sound crisp. i personally been to two different theaters (already seen the film 3 times) and one theater system was weak whereas the other one was impeccable and u heard and understood everything.
2.) as i stated before, talia was NEEDED due to the fact she was the key for all of that to happen. she had to sway and manipulate bruce into letting her know the location of the reactor and take ownership of the company. they used daggert as a pawn in order to set things forth. plus, she her motives are more understandible than bane's. batman "killed" her father, so not only she wants to fulfill her father's wishes, but she wanted to avenge him as well. plus, the TURN echos that of the turn in BEGINS when the truth ra's al ghul revealed himself.
i WILL, however, agree that afterwards, it was weak on how she was murked off. i really dislike that scene, especially within a short period of time.
3.) i was perfectly fine with the lack of batman (so to speak), i mean, in TDK batman was in there for about 85% of the time and as bruce 15% of the time and yet it FELT like batman was merely a SIDE CHARACTER with two-face and the joker as the main focus. in BATMAN BEGINS, you don't see BATMAN in actual full costume and in action for about a FULL HOUR into the movie! and even with that he was in BATMAN mode sporadically! yet the focus was directly on bruce's story and him becoming the BAT. this film brings it full circle as with begins to where he concludes his mission as the BAT.
4.) the pacing was cool with me. like i said, i've seen it 3 times already and not once did it ever felt like it dragged. that said, this is a close to 3hr film, so for some that would to be expected.
5.) glad you enjoyed it. (find a theater with a dope sound system thou)

"Alfred. Gordon. Lucius. Bruce . . . Wayne. Names that have come to mean so much to me. Today, Im three weeks from saying a final good-bye to these characters and their world. Its my sons ninth birthday. He was born as the Tumbler was being glued together in my garage from random parts of model kits. Much time, many changes. A shift from sets where some gunplay or a helicopter were extraordinary events to working days where crowds of extras, building demolitions, or mayhem thousands of feet in the air have become familiar.
People ask if wed always planned a trilogy. This is like being asked whether you had planned on growing up, getting married, having kids. The answer is complicated. When David and I first started cracking open Bruces story, we flirted with what might come after, then backed away, not wanting to look too deep into the future. I didnt want to know everything that Bruce couldnt; I wanted to live it with him. I told David and Jonah to put everything they knew into each film as we made it. The entire cast and crew put all they had into the first film. Nothing held back. Nothing saved for next time. They built an entire city. Then Christian and Michael and Gary and Morgan and Liam and Cillian started living in it.
Christian bit off a big chunk of Bruce Waynes life and made it utterly compelling. He took us into a pop icons mind and never let us notice for an instant the fanciful nature of Bruces methods. I never thought wed do a secondhow many good sequels are there? Why roll those dice? But once I knew where it would take Bruce, and when I started to see glimpses of the antagonist, it became essential. We re-assembled the team and went back to Gotham. It had changed in three years. Bigger. More real. More modern. And a new force of chaos was coming to the fore. The ultimate scary clown, as brought to terrifying life by Heath. Wed held nothing back, but there were things we hadnt been able to do the first time outa Batsuit with a flexible neck, shooting on Imax. And things wed chickened out ondestroying the Batmobile, burning up the villains blood money to show a complete disregard for conventional motivation. We took the supposed security of a sequel as license to throw caution to the wind and headed for the darkest corners of Gotham.
I never thought wed do a third are there any great second sequels? But I kept wondering about the end of Bruces journey, and once David and I discovered it, I had to see it for myself. We had come back to what we had barely dared whisper about in those first days in my garage. We had been making a trilogy. I called everyone back together for another tour of Gotham. Four years later, it was still there. It even seemed a little cleaner, a little more polished. Wayne Manor had been rebuilt. Familiar faces were backa little older, a little wiser . . . but not all was as it seemed. Gotham was rotting away at its foundations. A new evil bubbling up from beneath. Bruce had thought Batman was not needed anymore, but Bruce was wrong, just as I had been wrong. The Batman had to come back. I suppose he always will.
Michael, Morgan, Gary, Cillian, Liam, Heath, Christian . . . Bale. Names that have come to mean so much to me. My time in Gotham, looking after one of the greatest and most enduring figures in pop culture, has been the most challenging and rewarding experience a filmmaker could hope for. I will miss the Batman. I like to think that hell miss me, but hes never been particularly sentimental."

That's my director
Real
Location: Under Your Skin
If we get a Selina Kyle movie....might be the greatest female action movie ever
This is how Batman escaped The Bat...

You couldnt' pay me to touch the reboot if I was a director. I personally don't think the Nolan Batman world would allow for the other Justice League characters, so they kind of have to reboot Batman to bring him into the fold. I'd just concentrate on making a movie about the other characters (Supes is almost done), and just bring Batman in for the JL movie.

I have no strings on me.

Structure is like shackles. Something like that.
