    Saw it last nite

    It was a good film. Nothing too spectacular as the trailers tried to assume

    I feel the 2nd film is the best out of the trilogy with the best villain as well (sometimes I just wanted Bane to ? in this film).

    3/5

    C/S the bolded a lil too talkative at times and the dialogue in the opening scene didnt seem natural, Example "bane was it your plan to get caught" Im sitting there thinking why is banes captor kissing his ass, The writers should of just let banes actions speak for itself rather than a introduction on top of a introduction, you dont have to build bane up more then he needs to be, dont undermine the audience let us figure it out ourselves or at least let bane reveal his plan after he has broken loose.

    And to be honest that Robin twist was forced and corny I gotta keep it 100....first name Robin really? It seemed they threw that in there just for effect/shock value...Then it kind of confuses matters as of to what future role hes going to take new batman or robin...The whole thing just seemed unneccessary....And throwing in tim drake didnt help either I mean you left robin out for this long they might as well have just kep it that way.

    But like I said alright movie...ill admit my expectations were super high cause of DK...I wanted more action than words from bane....But overall I appreciate what Nolan did with Batman the trilogy and a whole new outlook on superhero movies in general.

    Bane is from the fictional island of Santa Prisca... in the latin carribean close to Cuba and Puerto Rico.. He was born and raised in the prison to serve out his father's sentence.

    Joker was a more entertaining villian, but that's about the only category he wins. Bane made the joker look like a petty criminal.

    You thought he died after the movie was over, or you still think that?
    Every sign basically points toward him being alive.


    Anyway, I actually felt bad when Bane died haha. I was rooting for duke at the end.

    His name was Tim, but his full name wasnt no Tim Drake. That would have made sense.

    ? in here ? ' like a ?

    u ? nitpick that much in real life? thats some female ? .. Ol "yea she fine as hell but i didnt ? her cuz her bra and panties didnt match" ass ?

    Excuses usually used to defend a subpar movie. TDKR was instantly forgettable and by the time the reboot comes out no one will remember this failure.

    Understatement. My team has won more titles in the last decade than they have won playoff games.

    The reason my Knicks got brought into this isn't the issue. The issue is that this isn't a good film. The action wasn't well done and the story was poor. What Nolan has done is basically turned Batman, (who was awesome in Batman Begins, still a good movie). From a ninja who stays in the shadows to who is now a basically a supersoldier. A G.I. Joe. Think about it. This is Batman, do you think he should be dealing with stuff like atomic bombs?

    Let's do an example. If that was really the case, and Gotham was under siege like that for 5 months, then why wouldn't Superman just swoop in there and grab that bomb, take it & and throw it into the Sun? What I'm saying is when it starts to come to Batman having to save cities & fight terrorism, it gets stupid. Batman is a crimefighter. He only operates at night and goes after killers like they Guy in the movie Seven. And IMO Bane wasn't good. He wasn't intimidating his voice was weird. There is no question Heath's death caused a big problem for this franchise.


    And for my last thing I'll say this. Did that film look like it was worth 250 millions the make? Seriously? I seen stuff on youtube that is better than this ? I paid 14 dollars to see in IMAX!

    LOL @allied


    Dudes in here wacking his opinions all over because he feels the film ain't up to standards


    Nolan needs to make a film with a smaller budget IMO to balance out some mis-steps hes taking as a filmmaker of late.


    Films like Memento and Insomnia show his strengths better as a filmmaker
