The "Dark Knight Rises" thread!!!!!

[Times Roman]

Here it is folks! I'm a little reluctant to start this, as I haven't seen it yet. My kid saw it last night when it was rolled out, and he said it was 100% "Bad-Ass!!"

You have the ball, what did you think??

[Shol'va]

Unfortunately there were some who were blown away at the movie....
Which makes me wonder WTF is wrong with our people..
Yeah I know it was Steroid related..

agree. agressive, unbalanced behaivor is ALWAYS steroid related, right?

[GirlyGymRat]

seems this was well planned so I tend to think not roid rage.....luv batman movies! I wanted to see this movie too but not so sure now....

[Rwy]

Saw it opening night last night at 1221 am. Movie was incredible. IMO it would rank 2nd in the trio. Batman begins still reigns supreme as best comic book movie ever

[lstbred]

I hope its as good as the last one! the Joker (Heath Ledger) was great!! he played the characture & the look was great.

[HitIt]

no spoilers now..

When it comes to the news media reporting it, yes it is. And they are always fair and balanced as they said so on Fox News Network...

[Times Roman]

shiit! I started this thread but afraid to read any of the posts since i won't see the movie til tuesday =(

[< <Samson> >]

Seen it last night


Pretty damn good. . .

It's the one thing the liberal nut-jobs to the left on CNN and the right-wing whackos on Fox News can ever agree on.

[S&S_ShovelHead]

A let down for me, not as good as the second one IMO. I think making it PG took away from what it could have been.

[kalspic]

from what i hear you have to see it twice to get the full impact

[< <Samson> >]

I do agree. . . I just don't want to spoil the shit out of it for people that haven't seen it yet

["Maximus"]

One of the best movies released so far this year, aside from the other comics movie released earlier this year.

In my opinion, this is one of the best trilogies to date. Damn worth my time and money.. wife cried like a little girl towards the end but who did not? Hah

[kalspic]

just saw it, i will say i that having bane be an actual person and not cgi made the movie that much better

[Hunter]

I really enjoyed it. Bane was played well even though he did differ from the comic book in some ways.

What I have enjoyed about this trilogy was the villians are deffiantly dark, they are not goofy or silly.

its pg-13....i thought the movie was 5x better than any of the other batman movies. loved it. and anne hathaway is a dimepiece

[JohnnyVegas]

I liked it a lot.

I like Tom Hardy (who played Bane) but was disappointed he was so hidden in the Bane costume. It could have been any big guy in there. Hard to act with a mask covering most of your face, I suppose.

[DCI]

I thought it was cool if a bit easy to read but I did enjoy it a lot and for a long film it didn't feel that long if ya you get me. Tom Hardy had some gyno in the film tho

[< <Samson> >]

I thought I was the only one that noticed. . . . I think the role needed a bigger more insane physique having guy.

I expected Bane looking more like this.

I didn't notice. I just thought his body fat was high. He looked pretty soft. Hard for a terrorist to eat a really clean diet.

[Igifuno]

Thought it was bad ass. A bit long, bot tolerable and loved that the villain was evil as opposed to goofy.

[< <Samson> >]

He looked a bit too marshmellowy fo sho though. . .

[Hunter]

we think alike

[Igifuno]

we think alike

Haha I guess so...

[Hunter]

Bane was physically intimdating but I think what made his character was the fact he was so intelligent. I understand that he was by no means "huge" but he was still not small and in some regards since he was not venom enhanced by giving him a more athletic then pure bulk made sense just my two cents anyways.

[kalspic]

just realised tom hardy was handsome bob from rock and rolla

[Times Roman]

OK. Just back from the movies.

I don't "get" the face mask, and the vials that the lady was messing with on Bane's face after batman whooped his ass. Was the face mask to help him breathe? were the vials to also help him breathe? his strength seemed to wane after BM knocked the vials/facemask loose.

Batman rushing in to fight Bane in the first round seemed like suicide by Bane. His body was not ready, no cartlidge in his knees, scars on his organs, etc. that seemed odd, but i imagine he was sufffering a moderate form of depression. Physically, he seemed to be a wreck.

Liam Nissan coming to him in a vision leading him to believe Bane was the kid that made the successful leap as a kid in the prison was a little confusing. Visions dont' usually get it wrong. I know that the editorial staff wanted to keep us guessing til the end, but i didn't see the "value add" to that little plot twist.

I don't think the Bane character was nearly developed as the joker character. the joker character was really well done. If you recall Joker's disappearing pencil trick, really amazing, and there was no single scene that bane was involved in that could even come close to comparing.

Seeing your hero failing seemed anti climatical, disappointing, if I must say. There was a moment at the end where you could see him flying off carrying the bomb, but as I saw this, i remembered that there were two scenes where the auto pilot was mentioned. So i just figured batman would put it on auto pilot and try to bail. but if you do the math, he had 1 minute left, and six miles to go to get the bomb outside the blast radius and save the city. to go six miles in 1 minute, one would have to travel 360 miles an hour, something that the bat plane/helicopter seemed ill equipped to do.

In the second to last scene, where the chic stuck a blade into his side, it seemed a little off. Batmans' suit is a high polymere carbon fiber able to withstand knife attack and bullets unless it's a straight on shot, as defined in the second movie. so how did this blade pierce his suit so easily?

As far as the trilogy, I'd say this comes in third. It had some shocking moments, to be sure, but the characters lacked imigination, and the script seems lacking as well.

[Rwy]

In the comic book Bane broke batmans back. If he didnt get ****ed up by bane you would have fan boy anarchy. The twist was pointless and the mask was created by Nolan. The reason he was not huge like in comic books is bc Nolan does not believe in over the top cgi which is why dc has differed from marvel so much as far as movies are concerned.

The Joker was an evil genuis and Bane was dc's the hulk in a sense. Bane was over developed smart wise compared to comic

[Rwy]

just so you have an idea of what he was supposed to look like

all good points. cgi, as advanced as it is, still is lacking, and is still obvious, compared to an actual person. no issues with bane being an actual person. but i didn't buy into batman's motivation to commit suicide by Bane. it was too quick, and the rational was under developed. Batman was supposed to be a Ninja with superior intellect, and for him to rush in like a front line grunt didn't seem realistic.

And I still dont' understand the theory behind Bane's mask.

I was a comic book geek long before computers and texting and cell phones. Even an internet. So yes, I know what bane looks like

In the second film, Bruce asks Luscious to make him more maneuverable after being mauled by the dogs, Luscious made the new armour but warned him it would not stop a knife. So it was bound to be played out eventually. And they actually did it in the second film too. Joker had a knife come out the tip of his boot and he kicked Batman in the stomach and it pierced. And then the second time when she stabbed him in the stomach.

As far as everything else, your right on! I liked it but it had some story gaps and dead spots in the film and the end twist with Bane not being Raz'z son, stupid plot twist if you ask me.. No one could ever compare to Heath Ledger as the joker. Bein could have a lot better, the story line for him was weak as well. But in the end this was the last film so they had to fit a lot of stuff in and I'm sure there is tons of footage and deleted scenes that might be on the DVD.

I did like the one aspect of Bane though, his supreme hand to hand combat skills and nearly unphased by any physical attacks..it literally took a tank gun to destroy him.

Bane was very smart in the comics, he figured out batmans identity. He also pushes batman to his limits by freeing the criminals at Arkhams Asylum. He never had a formal education but was written in the comics to be very smart if not genius level.

[< <Samson> >]

No shit, huh. . . . He looked more like this guy

[Times Roman]

and the secret behind the mask?

[< <Samson> >]

and the secret behind the mask?

He hides his face from the shame of having moobs.

[kalspic]

the movie needed to be split into two parts, and the next movie is going to be based on the cartoon batman beyond

[evander87]

Two things. I didn't see the first fight as "suicide by Bane". Bane was kicked out of the League of Shadows. I thought Batman, not listening Alfred, rushed into the fight thinking that "hey I beat Ra's Al Ghul who kicked this guy outta the League I should mop the floor with him". Ooops Got his ass handed to him.

Second the Mask. Bane got pummeled in the prison to the point that he had constant and extreme pain. The Prison Dr made the mask so that it would numb the pain allowing Bane to function. How it does it? I dont know. They glossed over that whole thing maybe a fan of the graphic novels knows better?

see, i didn't think batman was ready physically. walking around with a cane. no cartiledge in his knees, probably hadn't been working out in ages....
