The Dark Knight Rises thread...

Just saw it. Good movie. No more, no less. It was just as I expected : a nice conlusion to this Batman series and also the least good of the three (still very good, mind you). Most of the movie was rather predictable in my opinion, but I thought it had the best scene of the entire series. So, I wasn't disappointed.

I enjoyed it, it was quite good, even though there were a few very silly scenes and plot holes. The whole 3000 cops going in the sewers, the same cops charging thugs armed with batmobiles and assault rifles, the retards who don't even try to crawl on the ice... But as a whole, enjoyable.

The film had its flaws (surprisingly noticeable ones at that) but overall it was a satisfying conclusion to an interesting interpretation of the Batman mythology.

Generally, my biggest problem with the film was (huge spoilers) Spoiler:

Talia Al Ghul - She felt pointless and her relationship with Bruce seems wholly unbelievable (then again, it doesn't make sense in the comics or Arkham City). It didn't help that Cotillard and Bale had zero chemistry or that she completely undermines Bane at the end. Honestly, the LoS plotline itself seems tacked on - it might have been better if Bane was actually doing what he claimed to be doing - giving Gotham back to the poor, the desperate, the persecuted. Just my thoughts, though.

Catwoman was an absolute highlight, perhaps even the best part of the film, which surprises me because I didn't think Hathaway could pull it off.

I thought this film was brilliant, not quite as good as the second film but still way above the first film. Bane was brilliant if you ask me, Hardy did a great job in this film, well he does a great job in all his recent films really. The only problems i had were at the end. Spoiler:

I wasnt too keen Talia Al Ghul at all, it was a good twist (one that you can see coming but not bad) and I really didnt like Banes death it was too sudden and i really think it should have been batman who defeated him for good, instead hes just suddenly shot my cat woman and thats that. I also wasnt overly happy how Talia kind of nudges him aside as the main antagonist of the film. I did find their relationship slightly touching though.

Apart from that it was superb, also i know im at odds with most but i liked banes voice, have to admit there was a couple of lines i didnt quite catch.

I actually liked his death. Quite realistic if you ask me.

Nope.

Guess we have to agree to disagree then.
