The dark knght rises

[Sev]

saw it yesterday, thought it was awesome and concluded things nicely. was one long ass movie but i didnt mind as i was engaged the whole time

a 9/10 for me

 

what about u guys, did you enjoy it?

[hap me plz halp me]

IT IS AN AWESOME MOVIE INDEED. 10/10.

[Reptar]

I thought it was all right. The plot was pretty cool, but I felt no investment in the movie as it was going on, which a good movie would generally give me. I'd want one thing or another to happen, but I didn't care. I actually wanted Batman to die. I really hate how they did Batman in these movies (And this applies to all of the movies). His voice is silly, he sounds like a Tuvan throat singer all the time, even when everyone knows he's Bruce Wayne, he maintains the act. And I get that they touched on how he viewed Batman and Bruce Wayne as two different entities, but couldn't they choose a different voice? He sounds ridiculous. I couldn't understand most of what Bane was saying because of his accent and the distortion put upon it. That and other little things I'm not going to get into.

Other than that, it was pretty good, I guess. 6/10. I wouldn't see it twice.

The movie needed more Alfred. -1/10

HOW CAN YOU EXPECT BATMAN TO DIE, WHEN THE MOVIES ARE RELATED TO THE COMICS? CHRISTOPHER NOLAN HAVE TAKEN THE KEY PARTS FROM THE BATMAN/BANE STORY ARC AND USED IN THE MOVIE, LIKE HE DID WITH THE SCARECROW AND JOKER. BANE IS THE FIRST TO EVER "BREAK" BATMAN, AND HE SURE DID IN THE MOVIE. BATMAN NEVER DIES THOUGH, SO THIS IS UNREALISTIC TO EXPECT.

 

OF COURSE BATMAN USES ANOTHER VOICE, AS HE NEED TO COVER HIS IDENTITY. WHAT OTHER VOICE WOULD YOU WANT, A SQUEAKY MOUSE VOICE? THE ONLY LOGICAL OPTION IS A DEEP VOICE, WHICH BALE DOES THE BEST HE CAN. DONT MATTER IF THEY KNOW WHO HE IS OR NOT, THE VOICE IS AS MUCH A PART OF BATMAN AS HIS COSTUME.

 

FOR ANYONE INTERESTED, BATMAN WAS OFFICIALLY KILLED IN THE COMIC "FINAL CRISIS" BY AN OMEGA BEAM FROM DARKSEID. HOWEVER THE BEAM LATER TURNED OUT NOT TO KILL BATMAN, BUT INSTEAD SEND HIM INTO PURGATORY AND BACK IN TIME. SO FOR NOW, BATMAN HAS STILL NOT BEEN FINALLY KILLED IN THE COMICS.

IF YOU ARE SERIOUS, THEN YOU ARE REALLY BAD AT SPOTTING EXCELLENT CINEMATOGRAPHY. THE FEW MOMENTS THAT INVOLVED ALFRED WAS SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL IN THE MOVIE. HE HAD THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF SCREEN TIME AND THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN HIM AND BRUCE WAS SPOT ON.

Christopher Nolan is a genius. I loved the movie and it's twists. I'd watch it again.

I didn't expect him to die. I just hate the character so much, that I wanted him to die. I knew he wasn't going to die. Now, as far as the voice, I believe I did mention that Batman and he are two separate identities so a different voice would be called for, sure. But it's not a deep voice, it just sounds like he's growling. A character of his stature should be intimidating to people, not nearly comical because of his voice. If some guy in a bat suit came up to me, and started talking in that voice, I'd just laugh. Of course, if he came at me, screaming in that voice, I wouldn't laugh, I'd cry and hide, but not because of the voice. I had to restrain myself from laughing in all of his intense scenes in theaters. The voice is fucking hilarious.

I didn't find it hard to understand bane at all, but I do find it annoying how they change batman voice in every movie. Also Alfred gave away the end of the movie.

[Solitaire]

I guess the realism of changing your voice to protect your identity is lost to people.

 

Great movie and solid end to the trilogy.

No, that part's all fine and good. But, there shouldn't be a section of the audience laughing at the voice.

[newbie]

I thought the film was a wonderful masterpiece end to the whole Nolan series. I would rate it a bit below that of The Dark Knight, but on par with Batman Begins. There were couple of few things that bothered me, but they did not distract the audience from an overall positive experience. Taking Ivaj's suggestion, I have placed my simplified review of the film in a spoiler tag. Yeah I know, it's a bit long, but giving one sentence opinion of the film would not do the film justice. >.>

 

 

 

The timing of the plot was a bit less satisfying for the audience. The beginning character development seems a bit slow compared to the rest of the film. While the introduction of the movie serves to show Bruce Wayne's misplaced direction is understood, this character growth tails off to almost non-existence after the character's very brief climax. Another problem with the film is the introduction of other characters in the film. While Bane's plane-hijacking scene was executed beautifully to emphasize the Bane army's intimacy and loyalty, Miranda Tate and John Blake are ushered in without proper background telling and the masterful introduction that Nolan has created for all major characters so far.

 

John Blake's "detective" deduction of Batman's identity is probably the downfall of the film. The whole scene screams absurdity, only to be somewhat saved by Blake's little monologue towards the end. Oh, am I supposed to believe an orphan somehow looked at another orphan right into the eyes and go, "Ah-ha! You will be Batman one day because of the vengeance burning in your heart!"?

 

Also, Bane's overly-complicated plan to takeover or destroy Gotham seems a little forced into the plot. Scenes after scenes, the viewers learn more about Bane's plane that do not explain how the previous scenes fit in Bane's overall plan. Batman's second fight with Bane is a little lacking; in addition, Bane's death is anticlimactic, but it is assumed that was needed to show Batman's weakness in not using guns and Batman's moral victory over Bane. This is not even counting the plot-twist of Miranda Tate that, although her secret identity was an orgasm for all those nerds out there, it really served no purpose to the whole integral plot. But of course, the film would not be the same franchise popularized by the superhero industry without Batman's over-dramatic voice, the typical villain's explaining the whole plot to the hero while Batman lies there doing nothing, and of course Batman's super-healing factor that helps Batman recover from a spine injury and lack of cartilages in unnatural time.

 

Onward to the good parts of the film, the character of Bane was nicely scripted by Nolan, and superbly acted by Tom Hardy. Nolan managed to wow the viewers with both Bane's inhumanism of intense ruthlessness and Bane's humanism of intense love for Talia. His voice is a bit distracting at first, but the unique distortion grows on you and weirdly matches the mysterious nature of Bane. Finally, the addition of Bane as finally someone more than a physical match to Batman completes Batman's standard villain powerset. Most of the previous villains have been mental-, fear-, chaos-based, but now Batman has to relearn everything he was taught to overcome his bruite opponent.

 

Catwoman and Alfred are well played of course. Anne Hathaway definitely outperformed the community's expectation of her role as the graceful but also cunning Catwoman. Nolan and Hathaway's take on Catwoman manages to maintain Michelle Pfeiffer's frustration and cleverness, but still creates an original antiheroine who seemingly organically blurs the line between villainy and heroism. The person who truly stole the show for me is without a doubt Alfred. Even with probably the shortest screen time, Michael Craine flawlessly displays Alfred''s affection through sacrifice and his remorse from his betrayal of Bruce Wayne, and audience were drawn into his convincing performance through his small but powerful scenes . Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman did wonderfully as well, and acted the same character standard they achieved in the previous two films. Scarecrow as the judge of the riches and Ra's' cameo are a nice touch, and the revelation of the Lazarus Pit and Batman's rising out of it rejuvenated are also great character development to Batman.

 

Finally, though many of us thought Bruce Wayne should have physically died, there is no need to physically kill him especially after Batman's death and Bruce Wayne's death already having served as the symbols that Gotham needs and deserves. In the film, Bruce Wayne "dies" in the midst of the savagery of Gotham. The persona of a "billonaire, playboy, philanthropist," to borrow the line from Whedon, "dies" to show the now unnecessary need and the end of the Bruce Wayne identity. Nolan took us through a journey with the birth of the hero, the struggle of the hero, and the redemption of the hero. Batman is the symbol that was needed to get the corrupted cops and individuals out of the system and to inspire the cops and the citizens of Gotham and individuals like John Blake to stop turning against each other and stand up together against fear. Batman "dies" in the explosion after successfully giving all he could to the city, by finishing the donning of the cape that the city finally deserves and needs to inspire the rest of Gotham. The moral of the symbol to the city, especially to John Blake, is that anyone could rise up from the fear that clouded Gotham. John Blake's now new lack of fear walking across the bridge with threats of being shot and the cops' courageously charging the released criminals differentiate from the horrible grip of cowardice and fear on Gotham shown in the first two films before Batman's final symbolic death. However, Nolan's intent on keeping Bruce Wayne's physically alive is obvious as keeping Bruce Wayne alive is consistent with the logic and reasoning of the film in portraying that Batman owes the city no more after giving all he could with the death of his Bruce Wayne and Batman personas that together is not the life of his own, as advocated by Alfred and hoped by Wayne's parents. Thus, he completes the story of the struggle of Bruce Wayne and the heroism of Batman by living the life that he needs and that everyone else so has wanted for him.

I saw it on opening day! 11/10 I was in this kick ass movie theater in Aurora Colorado, I think they were testing 5D or something because thing got very real! They even had live actors!

Why the hell did everyone know who Batman was right from the start of the film?

Couldn't tell what Bane was saying half the time, and the dub over didnt match the expressions of the character a few times and as Rep said, I didn't find myself really into the story all that much...stuff just happened.

 

It was still a pretty good film, though I'd rate it the worst of the trilogy.

Well, only five characters essential to the film know his identity in the beginning. John Blake's knowledge was the only one that was forced.

I thought the Villain was the Joker and they revealed his real name: James Holmes.

i loved every minute of it 10/10

[Space_Dementia]

This is the best movie I've ever seen

This is one of the multitude movies. Movies with the same pattern:

First the main hero is beaten by evil one. Then the main character grows spiritually and physically and eventually won/ So classic.

 

I don't like the shuffling of the main villains. The whole movie was about one villain. In the end it turned out into snotty passive girl.

 

btw Batman 1960s is a brief retelling of batman 2012 xd
