The Dark Knight Rises

[Serra]

10/10 Epic loved seeing my favorite arc (Knightfall and the touch of No Man's Land they add) even though it was largely predictable I still loved seeing it play out on screen.

Spoiler: show

I liked that they showed what toll it had taken on Wayne with the knee being blown out and the mental weakness he had gained from winning so many times.
I think Hardy did a great job as Bane disliked that the ending kinda shuffled him out of the forefront.
Talia was predictable from the moment she came on screen.
Catwoman I hated because she never got naked, but I enjoyed the portrayal of the character.
JGL did a great job, kept hoping to see him suit up at the end when he goes to the cave.
Little displeased that they ended it with him going to Italy and he and alfred never talked. Plus who isn't going to recognize him?
Overall was really pleased with it, though I will be left to wonder how much more awesome it could have been with the Joker being in it.

Went at 2pm this afternoon and the theater was packed.

As Falcone said, he had to go over 1000 miles for someone to not know who he is. Also, with the whole fresh start or whatever it was that Catwoman was after, I'm sure it's easy for him to create a new identity and just play it off. Afterall, he pretended to be Bruce Wayne for years, could pretend to be someone else just as easily. "Oh, you think I look like Bruce Wayne? You don't know how many times I've heard that."

Good for a superhero movie, disappointing for a Christopher Nolan movie. Surprise, surprise, the big problem was Bane. He sounded like a villain on the old GI Joe cartoons, the mask makes it impossible for Tom Hardy to wring any character out of him, and his motivations are basically ignored for the entirety of the movie until the ending, which is disappointing in its own right.

In response to FNH:
I genuinely believe Ledger's Joker having a part in the film would have been the only possible way of topping TDK. Who doesn't think that though.

^ This 100 times over. With the mask over his face, the voice that seemed to originate from a speaker in the background, and almost no body movement to accompany his words Bane felt like a cardboard cutout most of the film. Disappointing because he had some amazing lines in the film that fell completely flat because the character wasn't developed or portrayed as properly as it should have.

Scarecrow, what a cameo, and poking fun at killer croc

[Headspace]

I thought Banes voice was fine. Sure it sounded like a separate track over the rest of the audio, because it was, but it didn't bother me like some of you

[Darkdreamer]

Just got back from seeing it and I loved most of it.

Spoiler: show

while I agree Bane's voice just didn't fit, it almost felt like some crappy Japanese movie voice over in parts. The ending was very solid it was Alfred balling like a girl that got to me and my wife, not a dry eye in the place when he was blubbering. And dat ass... omg dat ass.

[Rombot]

Forgive my ignorance on the whole Batman Universe... but what were the references in TDKR about Killer Croc?

[Insanecyclone]

The sewer being full of "giant alligators"

[grantlogan]

Bane sounded ridiculous, worn out Batman was boring, the big reveal at the end was stupid. Flame away, I aint care.

I was the only one that 1) gasped, and 2) laughed at that scene.

Not going to disagree. Only good part of the ending was Nightwing in the hyperbolic time chamber.

Hope I wasn't the only one that got all giddy when Bane said he would break him, then moments later, breaking his back. I've waited years since Bane's announcement for that one scene. Is that bad?

Was the Ra's al Gul cameo actually him or just Wayne dreaming? I assumed it was just a dream but it seemed left open to interpretation.

Best part of the movie. I loved seeing Bane make a little bitch out of him just like he did on paper.

Its a dream/halluc. He was losing his mind.

I and others in the theater went "woah" and laughed a bit.

Huh? Explain

Spoiler: show

In the first movie, Falcone said he was the prince of Gotham and would have to go over 1000 miles (Italy being well over 1000 miles away) for anyone not to recognize him, so that part was mostly a joke..

Catwoman was looking for the "Fresh Start" program or whatever it was which would have allowed her to create a whole new identity, free from the record she had from having had to steal and commit other crimes. Batman said he'd give it to her if she helped him, and since she's there with him at the end, I'm assuming they both used it to create completely believable new identities for themselves. If anyone ever came up to him and said he looked like Bruce Wayne, he'd just play it off, saying he had heard that for years. We know Wayne is great at pretending to be people since he 'pretended' to be Bruce Wayne for all those years -- always putting on the show of the disconnected billionaire while never revealing who he was.

I enjoyed the movie. Some of the plots are questionable but as a TDK triology, it is well done.
