BigSqwert Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) How Bane died was lame too. All it took was getting shot? In that giant fight, why didn't the cops just shoot him? They fist-fought him, but not shoot him? At least 1 of those cops had a gun. I absolutely love reading s*** like this.

About how absolutely terrible a villain in a superhero movie died? That's an odd thing to love, unless of course, you hate superhero movies and you want them to look as terrible as possible.

Yeah ok, the cops not shooting Bane or the rebels not shooting Batman is forgiveable, because movies need to have dumb people who don't do things the easy way, or can't shoot a gun straight, that's not really a big deal, but the way Bane died!!?!?! Seriously! That was just awful. I actually forgot he even died. Later in the movie I was thinking "I wonder if Bane will be in the next one....wait....did he die? Did Catwoman really kill him that easily?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and quietly dead. They never even walked over to check on him, and I don't even think a word was mentioned that he died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 She shot him with the same guns she used to shoot a hole into a stack of cars and rubble. What the f*** else do you need to believe that is enough to kill him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the f*** else do you need to believe that is enough to kill him? Seriously. I was honestly waiting for someone to point this out, because the complaints about how easy he died are absurd. Of all the villains in all the Nolan movies, he's the only one that ever had any sort of upper hand on Batman in any sort of fight sequence. It's easy to nitpick fantasy fiction movies, guys...any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I think anyone who believes TDKR is the best movie ever made is either overrating it due to a recency bias or has a complete different definition of greatness than me. And I would never rule out a super-hero movie being the best of all-time. There were just too many things that bothered me througout the movie. Bane could have been an all-time great villian, but they didn't give him much of a back-story and basically turned him to another goon by the end of the film. And while I thought Catwoman was interpreted well, her series of interactions with Batman were beyond ridiculous. I wish I would have kept a list of all the other thing that bothered me. IMO, there were way too many obvious flaws for it to gain any consideration for the best movie of all-time. Again, just my opinion.

Maybe I missed something, but the only thing I recall was Bane saving Talia as a child for some reason. If so, that's just an extension of Talia's story.

What the f*** else do you need to believe that is enough to kill him? I guess it had to do with the scene itself. It was a less than dramatic death in my eyes. In all the decades of movie watching I've done, I've never seen a main villain's death just kind of happen and the camera just moves on to other stuff within a second or two. It felt as if one of Bane's unidentifiable henchman just got killed. All in all I loved the film but felt that was a bit odd.

Didn't everything just turn out to be Talia's back-story? Also, I could have sworn the movie basically said Ra's Al Ghul recruited Bane for the League of Shadows simply because he saved his daughter and that Bane was completely motivated throughout the movie by his love for Talia. Am I wrong here? If so, that's not a back-story, that's a cookie-cutter fill-the-blanks explanation. I still don't know why he was in love with her in the first place, which seems kind of important. Again, I could be missing something, but I was very disappointed with how the Bane story worked and they basically turned him into a glorified henchman by the end of the film.

GoodAsGould Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Supposedly their was a big scene dealing with Bane's backstory that was cut from the final movie, they really don't go into detail about him much, it's all about the kid who you assume is Bane until the end. It was a good movie but yeah after the first two left a bit to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand peoples issue with how sudden it happened, but it wasn't like he died from a teensey-tiny little 9mm bullet...he got blasted with dual 50cals or something insane.

I don't think anyone is disputing the strength of the weapon that killed him, it's the seemingly lack of interest the characters had when he died, or the lack of acknowledgment by ANYONE really that he died. No camera close up on his face, no parting words, so sense of relief. It's like Tulisa (or w/e her name was) totally stripped Bane down from a big badass villian to just a regular henchman, and then Catwoman quickly swept him under the rug seconds later. His build up was so great, his tear down was so fast and unimportant seeming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Saw the movie this weekend. f***ing fantastic. That is all I have to say. I've stayed out of this thread for what feels like a month. Glad I did. I was thoroughly entertained (and the air conditioning in the theatre when it was 93 outside, was just an added plus). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
