    Mike and Jay see some little independent film nobody's heard of called The Dark Knight Rises, directed by Christopher Nolan.

Wouldn't mind but the cast was actually really good but the writing and story was weak. I still agree with Mike, we need a film about Batman going after a regular crime group, no need for mega villains.

      1960s Batman is as good as it gets. In all seriousness, the reason you have your Batman fans is due to it being a little more grounded and dark than other superhero crap. I don't think there was anything wrong with The Batman. My only complaint is that it was too long, in my opinion. As much as I liked the execution, I did find myself dozing off toward the last act.

    I remember being slightly disappointed with the movie when it first came out, but in no way, shape, or form did I hate it. I think people here basically feel the same way, but have lost the ability to express opinions that aren't absolute extremes, so everything just comes out worse than they actually feel.
    Take a look at film history, especially superhero film history, and something you'll notice is that the third film in a series almost aways marks the point when the franchise goes downhill: Superman III, Batman Forever, Ninja Turtles III, Spider-Man III, X-Men: The Last Stand, Blade III, etc. Honestly, The Dark Knight Rises is a cinematic masterpiece compared to what we could've gotten.

      TDKR is one of those movies where when you leave the theatre you're like HMM it was fun but something seemed off, then when you think about it you realize it makes no fucking sense and batman never really "rose" he didn't figure out how to get out of the prison, he was TOLD how to get out of it. He was TOLD bane's weakness. The only time he ever rose was physically in his plane.
      TDKR is shit. Period.

    • @sharp7j
      @sharp7j 9 лет назад +14

      Bruce didn't change at all. He retired, and then upon meeting catwoman and hearing about Bane decided to put on the cape again. Considering he is fucking Batman putting on a suit again and going at it isn't that much of an accomplishment considering what he has done already. I enjoyed the "old man batman" phase anyway though, it was light hearted and fun.
      Then he gets beat up by Bane, great scene.
      Then the second half of the movie starts and the movie goes to shit. How did Bruce change at all from himself before entering that jail and after? Or put a better way, if he NEVER went to that jail could he have beaten Bane?
      Answer is if someone just told him Bane's weakness being his mask YES, he could have skipped the entire jail scene and just beat up Bane. Batman literally got cheat codes the entire movie he didn't do anything heroic. Oh they took Batman's tanks? Well he has a weird helicopter thing now thats way better than his old tanks. Oh he broke his back? Doesn't matter theirs a super-medicine man in the cave. Oh he can't figure out how to get out of the cave? Don't worry the medicine man gives you the tip you need to get out. Oh you can't figure out how to beat Bane? Medicine man tells how his silly as fuck weakness. Oh the criminals have guns and shit now and the police are out of resources? Doesn't matter because for some reason the criminals never fire shit (and neither do the few cops with guns). Oh Bane is better than you in every way? Nope he was lying and is just Talia's bitch. Oh Talia totally tricked you? Doesn't matter cause her master plan is to drive around a truck while the remnants of the cops, catwoman, and a helicopter chases her.
      Like do you not see how lame the second half of the movie is? What the fuck was the point of the jail scene. You can say "Oh batman got the will to live a little more?" but that is bad writing. You would only know that because they explicitly say it, Batman doesn't do a single thing after he gets out of the jail that he wouldn't have done before the jail. In fact if he really cared about his life and gotham more than his nonsense he would have just shot Bane instead of betting the fate of a city on a kick boxing match.
      I've honestly written essays about this before so I'll stop now but if you can't see that the 2nd half of the movie was complete nonsense and horrific writing you are an idiot.

      It can be entertaining if he just embraces that more and trims the fat everywhere else.

      This. And I think there are things that could have made it worthy, but the ideas they went forward with just didn’t work (Batman returning twice, no emotional connection to Talia.)
      In any case, TDKR will always have the specter of “What could have been” with Heath Ledger’s death and how TDK & TDKR could really have been 2 parts of the same movie with the Joker as the showcase villain.

      @@yachtrockman no. Even if heath ledger had lived (which I really wish had happened), I don't think he should've been in dark knight rises. He is the greatest villain of all time and not mentioning him at all in the third makes his performance that much more exclusive and rare. Less is always more. He's never mentioned once in the dark knight rises but you feel his influence everywhere. He's the reason everything is the way it is in that movie. If they showed him or said his name, it would make his performance not as exclusive and it would just make him another character in a franchise. Having him in 1 movie makes whatever he did that much bigger and more important. Less is more.

    Personally I love the Bane voice. I agree with Mike about how it's creepy because it's not the evil monster voice you would expect. I also agree that it was intentional how it didn't mix in with the rest of the sound track. It was supposed to feel like it stood out from everything else and surrounded you. Bane is the voice and the voice is Bane. He's pretty much Darth Vader, breathing apparatus and all.

    And then he meets Bane, who breaks his back and he spends ANOTHER huge chunk of the movie being broken and crippled. I suppose that's fascinating if you're a physical therapist but it's not very interesting if you were expecting a superhero film.

    • @cb1671
      @cb1671 9 лет назад +12

      The arc was not physical. That was the onscreen representation of his emotional arc.
      At the beginning, he was physically broken and emotionally broken. He had left behind the batman, and again his life had no point. He believed he was done and it was the city's turn to take care of itself. However, this left batman unable to continue his war against crime.
      Batman can never beat up enough criminals to bring back his parents. Now, he can't even try.
      Moreover, he does not believe in himself. He lost Rachel Dawes and his friend Harvey Dent in the last movie. He couldn't save either of them in the end.
      Then, when Bane breaks his back, he loses the battle because he doesn't believe in his cause anymore (Bane does believe in his cause). Alfred alludes to this earlier when they are viewing security footage of Bane, and Alfred tells Bruce Wayne that the speed and ferocity of Bane's fighting comes from the power of his conviction.
      Now, batman has to train physically to escape the prison. Emotionally, he rem-learns the power of letting his fear in by jumping without the rope. Once batman has proven to himself that he is strong enough to protect his city (and Bane has (unwittingly) proven for him that the city does need his protection), batman returns and saves the city from destruction.

    I actually liked it, and a lot of the plot holes can be explained
    The way they portrayed batmans return to Gotham, since it happened seemingly so quickly, everyone's going nuts and whatnot. But you also need to realize that they never exactly say how long it took for him to get back, they skipped that for the sake of ambiguity (or atleast I always thought), plus batman is a ninja. A NINJA PEOPLE
    When people say "Bane was just talias pawn," why has nobody ever sat there and realized they were working together? Bane did most of the strategizing, and posed as a much greater threat. He could have loved her as a sister, or just a best friend. The comics and movie doesn't portray him as a heartless brute, so why does everybody claim he is a lovesick puppy?
    I walked out of the theater July 20th, satisfied by the ending. I always thought the ending was to show that Alfred was proud of his son figure, because he wasn't really Bruce's biggest fan in this one, so it showed that he has come to terms that Bruce is a hero
    I also always thought the batman gas thing on the bridge wasn't set up by him. I always thought that somebody else had done it, or maybe it had been there for awhile.
    The reason talia didn't immediately pull the trigger was because she wanted Gotham city to suffer in panic and terror
    When people say "how did he recover from his broken back," I always thought that it wasn't exactly 100% broken. The guy even says "a vertebrae is out of line," never fully saying his back is broken
    When the extras didn't use their guns in the climax, people don't realize that they would've known that everybody would have just dropped. It would be over in like 20 seconds
    I liked banes voice, actually. I know it was louder due to post production, but I believe that it tried to achieve a phycological affect, which did in my opinion
    I also think his voice was kind of "prank phone call," because he is always in pain, and he's got needles and morphine and shit all in his mouth.
    His abrupt death was to not draw it over the top in a way. They were in a hurry, and again, as they said, Nolan didn't try to go over the top and whatnot, like a cgi wet dream
    Now I'm not saying this movie is perfect, but it doesn't deserve the criticism it gets, because most of the criticism comes from the plot holes, which most people don't seem to realize that some can be fixed with a little pit of thought. The movie explored themes of pain and despair, which I always found that Nolan delivered it perfectly. Now it's not without its problems (how can people take banes word that the letter was Gordon's, how did jgl figure him out, small things like that), but I think that most people hate this movie because everybody else does. What I mean by that is if you ask somebody why they hate this movie, they will most likely say things about plot holes, disregarding the fact that some aren't even plot holes. People forget that TDK isn't perfect, that has some plot holes in it that nobody forgets because ITS HEATHS MOVIE, like how did joker exactly know batman was interesting him, how long it would take, how long it would take to get to Rachel/Harvey, and time it so perfectly that Harvey would be crippled? It doesn't add up. While I'll admit that TDK is better by just a few points, without Heath ledger in it, people would realize that there are no character arcs, the plot is sometimes confusing, and it is not the platinum masterpiece everybody says it is. It is a golden one, but not the perfect movie.
    Okay I'm done now

    • @evanrailman7898
      @evanrailman7898 5 лет назад +1

      Well said. Though I think JGL finding out his secret identity can be explained to a certain extent. Remember, Bruce Wayne came up with the whole playboy persona to hide the fact that he's a pretty obvious suspect for Batman(super rich, disappeared mysteriously for 7 years, has the motive cause of dead parents, etc). JGL saw through the playboy facade. From there, it's just a matter of connecting the dots. We already saw Reese figure it out in TDK, so it's not like Bruce Wayne's secret identity is full proof.
      I agree. this movie gets a lot of hate on internet forms, but the general critics' consensus and box office suggests that most people in the real world like it.

Basically the jokers whole plan and how it unfolds is illogical and impractical if you really stop and think about it...and that's not me taking a shot at the dark knight, I loved it.
