The Dark Knight Rises

[quote=Valou FTW]Amazing movie, lots of action, and nice end ;) Imo as well as The Dark Knight, not better because of Marion Cotillard, the joker , and some parts specially for bane's death and others :( But i'll not spoil. Best movie 2012, but i'm still waiting for The Hobbit. What's your opinion ? Who saw it ? Did you like it ? :)[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]I thought it was disappointing. It didn't really feel like a true batman movie. They tried to cram too much in one movie.[/quote]

[quote=Keondre]Never liked batman, although, my fiance wants to see this so I should consider watching it.[/quote]

[quote=A Chubby Baby]i liked bane.[/quote]

[quote=Valou FTW][quote=Toshabi] They tried to cram too much in one movie. [/quote] What do you mean by "They tried to cram too much in one movie" ? Which scene shouldn't be in the movie ?[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]I am guessing Tosh means all the new characters they introduced. My boyfriend pointed out that doing that didn't give us much time to spend with the old characters that we already liked, which I thought was valid. I did think most of the new characters were interesting though so I didn't really mind. I thought the twist at the end was interesting, but to be honest it didn't make much sense. >.> I'm curious Tosh, did you feel like it wasn't very Batman-y because of the lack of action / fight scenes? I mean they had some but compared to other movies this one had a lot less I think. Overall I thought the movie was really good though. At the very least I really enjoyed it and thought it was a good ending to the trio. I will probably buy the box set whenever they come out with it because I enjoyed all of the movies.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka][quote=Mowen] I thought the twist at the end was interesting, but to be honest it didn't make much sense. >.> [/quote] which twist? the talia reveal? because i saw it coming a mile away. you should read the comics sometime. also, i wasnt the only one calling the detective robin, was i? that i could see a mile away too. as for new characters, we have robin, talia, bane, and that rich asshole guy.. i'm not seeing too many new characters? the only thing i didnt like was wayne not being dead. it makes no sense for him to survive a nuclear blast and obviously felt like a changed ending. (which it was).[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]I saw the Talia and Robin reveal coming as well, that doesn't mean that it was a bad reveal. If it was a shock to everybody it probably would've made no sense (well the Talia one still didn't but it had some obvious foreshadowing). Even if you expect that Bruce Willis is dead in The Sixth Sense doesn't mean that the reveal was bad, because it was still interesting and a good plot device. Also, just because you know the characters from the comics doesn't mean they're not new to the audience, and obviously the characters will differ from the comics so you have to get introduced to their "reimaginings." The characters are still new because they're not introduced in the series prior to this movie, and you take the series as a standalone story and not draw in everything from every Batman comic / movie / spinoff etc. I do agree though that Batman not dying in the end of the movie took away from the realism for a happy ending. The ending probably would've been more powerful / heart-wrenching if he had died. I still don't mind it too much though because Alfred is awesome and now he can be happy too! :D Also I wanted to share this with you guys! If you saw the movie or are interested in seeing the movies Half in the Bag did what I felt like was a good review of it, also it's really fun to watch in and of itself: http://redlettermedia.com/half-in-the-bag/[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Just came home from watching it. So here is my thoughts. Spoilers because i suck at avoiding them. [spoiler] It was a good movie, no question about it. But maybe not really what i and many others had in mind. The trailers made this movie out to be a big action flick of Batman kicking banes ass for 2 hours. But instead we got a really not action focoused batman movie. Instead we got a character focused Bruce Wayne movie. The movie kinda centers around not batman kicking ass. But Batman as a symbol to inspire others to kick ass. What i liked: *Some incredible action set pieces *an satisfying end to the character of Bruce Wayne. *Good supporting characters. *Most of the stories got wrapped up. What i didn't like: *The bad guys. I loved Bane the 2 first acts of this movie. But it feels he just got tossed to the side in the climax and didn't give the end result i had expected *Talia al Ghul's as a character felt really rushed. They could have easily done more with her love for bruce clashing with him being batman. *The final act felt kinda rushed. And that ties in to the above, they had to put so much into one climax. *Ok i know you can't recast him, but really, some refrence to the joker? I guess you could make a sequel based of it. But no closure to the Joker just felt really bad. (No i don't know how they could have done it ;s) Minor nitpicks: *How the fuck did Bruce get into Gotham? He was totally broke and had 18 days to get there, what did he do? Walk? dunno. *The Robin guy... I call bullshit on him knowing Batman's identity that easy... *Who the fuck was Catwomens little girl friend? Sister? Neighbor? Girlfriend? berh [/spoiler] Overall a good flick, would reccomend, just don't expect batman kicking tons of ass.[/quote]
