What do we think of the Dark Knight Rises now?

[Here Comes the Pain]

I thought the movie was good, but not a classic like it's predecessor tdk.

 

[(ALi)]

Nolan... I recall an interview of him stating back in 2004 when he was accepted by WB to helm the new Batman movie which was titled Batman intimidation? Something like that... He stated how his direction will be different to Burton and the previous Batman movies, where he thought Batman was a background character to the villains.

Look and feel would be completely different also this was said before shooting.

Puts Bale in the same rubber suit and makes Batman a background character.

He had the right idea with Begins but it took a huge fall in the last act.

Scarecrow dude who played him was severely underused.

I don't know who is to blame for this but Bale was a terrible Batman. Nolan doesn't get the character and this movie was the worst movie I've seen in the theatre.

Just downright awful.

 

[Soundbwoy]

rewatching right now and bane swagg was too off the chart for him to go down like that bootleg robin batman going on sick leave

 

[NZA]

a weak movie and solidified my opinion that nolan is a tad overrated

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Nah. Your opinion is your opinion but I find it difficult to believe most people would consider TDKR to be on the same level as Iron Man 2, 3, Avengers 2, etc.

Bane alone > those movies

This may sound like hyperbole but TDKR was Green Lantern levels of bad imo. shyt was pure garbage.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Also guys off topic, but I really didn't want to make another thread for this. I saw Interstellar for 10 bucks and grabbed it. It's the only Nolan movie in recent time I've yet to see, and I love all the other ones I've watched. Coming from someone who loved Prestige, Inception, and TDKT, do you think I'll like this movie?

I am in the minority who thought Prestige and Inception were overrated. Not bad movies, just not OMG AMAZING! I really liked Interstellar, though, but then I'm a science geek so that's probably why.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

That one is enough to sink the movie. A decent chunk of events are hinged on Bruce being broke.

Let's not even get into what constitutes a plot hole. A bunch of stuff in the movie flat out makes no sense.

The character does what he does because he saw his parents gunned down. Dude giving up because a girl he had a crush on died is against everything the character stands for. You ain't even gotta be a comic book fan to know that.

Hell, while I'm on the subject of Batman, him admitting his secret identity to Blake, a complete stranger, was a top 5 WOAT comic book movie scene.
Bruce, a world famous billionaire faking his death then showing up in broad day light in public like was awful too.

Another obvious one is the bat symbol on the bridge when he came back to Gotham. No, "he did it before just in case" doesn't make any sense, he took 8 years off.

The entire police force gets trapped underground. That's some 80's cartoon shyt.

Bane's death.

The broken back/rope thing. I'll even completely ignore that one.

I don't expect to make any headway with this discussion because people are just going to hand wave away any criticism with "prep time!", when they actually showed Batman preparing in the first two movies.

So yeah....it's an aggressively bad movie. The fact that it's directed by Nolan, and follows "The Dark Knight" is one of the most things in movie history.

Fred.

I love shytting on this film .

My favorite gotta be the leg brace. So you mean to tell me dude spent 8 years gimping around, when he could have LITERALLY fixed that shyt in a matter of seconds? What's even the point of giving him a bum leg in the first place if that was gonna be the fix?

 

[FlyRy]

I'm not a fan of this movie but let me go through this thread one more time look at this nolan slander

 

[Shadow]

The way Talia died was the worst death acting scene ever.

 

[BlackAchilles]

Also Nolan better watch it with the repeated Tom Hardy/Marion Cotillard casting, lest he venture into Tim Burton territory

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Damn this flick getting shyt on

 

[Makavalli]

Bane thru that nikka in a whole after giving him that prime tyson ass whoopin then this nikka bruce somehow gets the nutrition rehab and supplements coupled with a push up routine to climb out the hole.
Sneaks back into the city after figuring out where in the world he was in the 1st place and rescues a police force to be his army that should be flabby n sick from not eating for how many days but its based on realism. He should've introduce Supes in this shyt to be more plausible

All kinds of unrealistic shyt happens in superhero movies though. The only reason people are more critical of it with TDKR is because BB and TDK took the "realistic" route. But if we're being real, BB and TDK's realism were both vastly overstated.

This may sound like hyperbole but TDKR was Green Lantern levels of bad imo. shyt was pure garbage.

Yeah you bugging lol

Looks like when my niece was sick and didn't want to take her medicine

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Batman using his bat-skills to snatch a dude in another country
vs.
Terrorists ruining Bruce Wayne's company by attacking the stock exchange in person and trading in Bruce's name

Let me repeat: Terrorists stormed the stock exchange, trading was never postponed, and a clearly fraudulent transaction was allowed to take place in an attempt to bankrupt the most powerful company in the city

In broad daylight, on camera, with hundreds of witnesses, no less.
