Especially this one those statements don't really belong together. My point was that I normally don't hop in a thread and declare BEST MOVIE EVER. I am declaring best movie ever.

Ok, wasn't sure.... but in that case I disagree 100% and I think this was the worst movie in the series (still a good movie) and nothing about it deserves any Oscar nominations whatsoever.

Soxbadger Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 10:41 PM) John Blake is not "Robin", at least we arent' told that. I believe that is very tongue-in-cheek for the "next Batman". The entire series has been all about Batman being bigger than any one man. I am so f***ing happy that Bruce Wayne didn't die. Not sure where you are getting your information from. Im not a big batman fanboy, but the guy at work I talked with today said Nolan was not dong a Robin spinoff, nor was he going to do the Batman reboot. He said possibly a Catwoman prequel (take it for what its worth.) That being said, even if you think Robin was supposed to be Red Robin or any other nonsense, its still a lame move. You dont just throw something like that at the end, as it wasnt even a reveal. To me it was just completely unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 QUOTE (SleepyWhiteSox @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 09:34 PM) TDK was MUCH better, IMHO. Although Joker obviously wasn't gonna be topped, I liked Bane. TDKR feels a bit too forced a lot of times, though. And yeah, I wasn't expecting the ending and appreciate a good twist, BUT Alfred basically reciting the ben affleck speech in good will hunting at the end kinda irked me. I mean, really??! As for Bane's voice, I think it's BADASS. I am currently working on it as we speak, and doing a horrible job at it, but it still feels pretty cool to recite some of the badass stuff he says The Batman voice has been ridiculous since day 1... And I will be seeking the medical expertise from prisoners in remote holes in case of a serious spinal injury... I pretty much agree with this assessment. It wasn't the best one, but I really liked it. I also liked Bane's voice. The one quote was pretty good when he first fought Batman. Something like (not sure if I even need spoilers), "Patience has made you weak. Victory has defeated you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 20, 2012 -> 10:35 PM) I am very good at keeping perspective on movies. The Dark Knight Rises very well might be the best movie I have ever seen. It's sheer scale makes TDK look like child's play. I have no idea how anyone could complain about that movie. It was absolute perfection; and that's from a Bat-Fanatic. Dude, you really aren't I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, but you consider every other TV show the "best" at any given moment. This movie, while awesome, isn't on par with the other two. Still awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Its a good movie, I give it a B. But to get an A+ or be the best movie ever, it has to blow my mind. This movie was just the basic comic book formula, and didnt have the intensity of the Joker-Batman rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im actually very easy to please Im sorry that seeing Batman and Catwoman sharing a latte and chuckling over brunch in Venice at the end of the movie really ruined what up until the end was a damn good movie. And Robin? Even if it was a tip of the cap, lame. Or how they reveal Talia Al Goul and then literally 30 seconds later she has died. I also felt the way Bane was taken out of the movie was pretty damn weak. After all of the build up and excitement, the ending just didn't live up to what I had built into my head going in. The entire movie wasn't a let down, the ending was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Terrific movie. Best one in the series definitely. Anyone who says Batman Begins is better is kidding themselves. I loved it at the time, but it has aged horribly in just a few short years. Terribly corny and low budget compared to the other two.

I wouldn't go that far in regards to BB, but certainly each movie has gotten considerably bigger in scale. I think it's an amazing feat that Nolan has been able to meet expectations considering the hype around TDK and TDKR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seeing Batman and Catwoman at the end, man that was garbage. I don't understand how anyone found this ending a fitting conclusion to the trilogy.
