Dark Knight Rises kinda sucks.(SPOILERS)

@Brain_Duster: He-Who-Stands-There Morrowind reference FTW!

I agree the movie was rushed. I think after the success of Batman Dark Knight it was gonna be hard to top it. I liked Bane even though his voice made me think of Sean Connory at times. I like Catwoman, this version was better than the one in Batman Returns. I would easily say it's the worse of the trilogy of films. Even the ending hints at a sequel that will probably never get made. I think only the best parts where when Batman fights Bane in the prison and the football scene.

I HATE PEOPLE LIKE YOU WITH NO BRAINS!!!!!! USE SOME LOGIC!!!!!!

Batman had 3 weeks to get back to Gotham before the bomb blows.

He left the pit, went to a freaking airport, flew to the city across the bridge from gotham, got a cab to get a batsuit from his many hiding spots. Then went across the bridge with his gadgets.

How hard is that to get from the pit to gotham in 3 weeks? How is that not believable. HE IS BRUCE WAYNE. FORMER BILLIONAIRE who just lost all his money. SOMEONE would recognize him. PLUS he could ask for a freaking quarter, use a payphone and ask one of his many friends to BUY him a plane ticket! USE YOUR BRAIN!!!!!!

It was really bad. People don't realize the hyped materials suck until it's too late. Look at the gaming industry for instance.

The Dark Knight was clearly the best of the trilogy, both in plot and characters. The Dark Knight Rises' plot was disappointing given it's huge potential, Bane was imposing and fearless but far from "Joker Greatness" and his confrontations with Batman were boring, but Catwoman was an amazing new character, well developed and very well played, that put to shame any of her previous movie versions and was able to save the movie from mediocrity, IMHO. Also, completely discard the movie because you didn't like the finale is unfair in any movie, IMHO, because as I see it, the most important part of a story is not the end but everything that happens before that. What matters the most in movies and in life is not the end of it, but everything that you experience before getting there.

@stuff238: Wow really? Did Nolan explain to you this? LOL

I love how you made up your own story in order to forgive this hole in the movie.

I thought the film was terrible, mainly for the reasons that have already been stated. Also (*flame shield on*) I don't even think The Dark Knight is as good as people make it out to be. Aside from Heath Ledger's Joker, it was a pretty mediocre film. I mean, I can't even figure out what the plot was. Christopher Nolan can't really capture the essence of Batman. His Batman films feel more like crime films that happen to have Batman characters in it rather than being actual Batman films. I actually felt that Tim Burton captured the essence of Batman better than Christopher Nolan did.

Don't forget the first thing Batman does when he arrives at Gotham is paint the Batman symbol on one of the bridges when there's a bomb in the city.

I loved Batman Begins & TDK, but I didn't enjoy TDKR. The first half or so was poorly paced, poorly written and had too much subplots going on. It was pretty boring until the Bane/Batman fight began. And to add to the list:

- Commissioner Gordon gets captured in the sewers but escapes by jumping into the flowing water. JGL knows where to find Gordon despite him not knowing Gordon even jumped into the water.
- Batman has knee problems and breaks his back after a one-sided match; however he defeats Bane with no problems in the rematch.
- Sending the majority of the cops underground; after being trapped for months, they still appear healthy and in fighting condition.
- Commissioner Gordon is the last person to find out Batman is Bruce Wayne. What was suppose to be a heartwarming revelation turns out to be a facepalm moment for Gordon since everyone knew who Batman was: Bane, Catwoman, rookie cop JGL, etc.

The movie was about The Joker forcing Batman to break his no kill rule, then showing the people of Gotham that The Batman was nothing special or extraordinary. There.

TDKR has many flaws but this actually isn't one of them. If you see the fight Bane is clearly kicking Batman's butt once again and it is only because of a fortuitous strike which pierces Bane's mask that he starts to beat him and even then Bane continuous to put up a good fight for a while. I remember this clearly from when I was at the theater and thinking just before the 2nd fight: "Oh man, if they just show Batman beating Bane this time because "he was trying harder" after Bane fvcking mopped the floor with him in the 1st fight I'm gonna get mad".

Yeah I agree it wasn't good at all. The story was too boring and plus so many characters I felt were just plain awful.

Well it had an awesome soundtrack ! Lol ... Well yes, it wasn't the best Batman, thats for sure. I think the best one is with Heath Ledger as Joker. I actually own the Dark NIght Rises, and most of them. I will have to do a rewatch just cause i haven't seen it in a while.
