holy shit. so amazing.
that ending made me happy. this series was so dark that it needed it.
Completely agree. Masterpiece, imo. The ending gave me chills. Also, Tom Hardy as Bane - terrifyingly awesome.
Just saw a Batman trilogy marathon, 9 hours long and stayed right till the end of the credits. Pretty epic but was in the office before for 14 hours so its been 23 hours of sitting on my ass.
Also, to all the haters saying Anne Hathaway isn't hot enough to play Catwoman, screw you, she was great in the role.
All in all, a fantastic installment and some great clues (I'm hoping) at the end...
Who says she isn't?!?! Shes stunning and seems to have some class unlike other Hollywood bimbos.
Hathaway killed that role. I thought she would do an awesome job and she did not disappoint.
Regards
Going to be watching this tmr... Did anyone read this? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/reviews/article-2176260/The-Dark-K… Is it true that its hard to hear Bane?
just read the wiki. i find it fucking hilarious they made the plot such that the villain Bane (sounds like BAIN) was attemping a hostile takeover of Wayne Enterprises except they are much more eh.. "hostile" hahahahaha
Should I watch Batman Begins/The Dark Knight before watching the Dark Knight rises? I don't remember much about either move tbh lol. Are there links or is the 3rd movie clear enough?
You don't need to remember much from the first two. They do reference things from them, but they incorporate flashbacks, so if you've already seen them, it will probably jog your memory.
Regards
Won't be going to see a movie for a while now -- crazy ass motherfuckers.
Just kidding but sad.
I was more pumped for The Avengers (or any marvel movie for that matter) but I will wind up seeing this. I have to go see Ted first though
Leave work right now and go see it. Unbelievable movie. Whatever you do, DO NOT READ ANY SPOILERS. The movie is AMAZING.
Agreed. Film was freakin' awesome. Catwoman was splendid, and Bane was terrifying.
What the fuck is up with this shooting?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2176450/I-thought-movie-Shocked…
Holy shit.
And people look at me like I'm a psycho when I say I would like to be able to carry a gun...
The world's a fucked up place, don't forget it...
I saw it last night and thought it was good. I don't know if I liked it better than the 2nd installment, but I've been anticipating the release of this movie and it's been so hyped in the media that it was practically unfair to compare the two. The second movie got a lot of press because of Heath Ledger's death. The only thing hyped about that movie was his performance and that exceeded any expectations I had.
The more I think about it, the more I liked the third one the most. I think everyone played their roles really well and there was a balance between all of the characters, as opposed to the second one when the Joker was the movie.
The plot was really good and Nolan didn't disappoint with his vision of Gotham. I do think there were a few plot holes, a few continuity errors and few scenes that left me scratching my head.
If you haven't seen it and plan to, then don't read any reviews or spoilers because there are some plot twists that could be ruined if you do any research.
Interestingly enough, I read an article a few months back about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character. The point made in the analysis was really spot on but it was interesting to think back and recall all of the comments talking about how the author's assertions were too far fetched and just not going to happen. I don't remember where I saw that article but the guy was spot on with his assessment and it amazes me that he figured it out just by watching all of the trailers.
Anyways, I had to see it at some random theater that a bunch of friends had plans to go to so I will actually go see it again in IMAX when I get the chance.
Regards
I thought HL's Joker portrayal was flawless but this movie has a better overall story with its elements of failure and triumph.
Preferred the predecessor.
Perhaps it was too hyped, which caused it to not meet my expectations. The twist felt shoehorned.
Anne Hathaway is the reason why the Twitter hedge funds took such a beating last month
SPOILERS BELOW
Just saw the movie.... last 30-45 mins was stunning. Action was amazing, saw it in IMAX so was fantastic, acting etc was awesome also!
First 30 mins was confusing though... can someone help me with the below?
Why did they need Bruce's fingerprints when the nuclear machine thing could be opened by 3 other board members?
What did that traitor guy from Wayne's board want to with his fingerprints even though he was successful in making him broke anyway from the Wall Street crashing? I didn't get his 'long term plan' with Bane.
How come a kid managed to jump across the well (from the first platform to the next) yet a fully grown man couldn't (and 'no one else could'). Thought this was a bit cheesy (but finn because it means he got beaten by a girl lol)
I kinda figured out the woman in the board was evil even without reading the spoilers etc - it was obvious esp after i saw the scar and she went into her 'weepy' mode - but i didn't get the significance of the scar shape/type. If i remember correctly, it was a 'cut' type scar... symbolising what? (i have forgotten Batman Begins so apologies for my ignorance). I know Nolan never 'wastes' a scene so Im just trying to make sense of it.
You know when they didn't show the fathers face in India I honestly thought it was Wayne's dad (in his early days - before he met Wayne's mum?)... they kept showing Wayne's family photo so I thought they would bring them in... I think it would have been a cool twist to make them brothers! haha Don't you think?
Didn't really get these bits. Any answers would be great! :)
The fingerprints were used to place the options order.
SPOILERS THROUGHOUT! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE!!!!!
Answered in the same order as you posted them: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE
--Fingerprints were to place the options orders to bankrupt Bruce and give control of the company away -- Dagget (the guy who first hired Bane) thought he was going to get control. In reality, it was a long con on the part of Cotillard's character to get control (keep in mind that she was also deep into supporting Bruce's work on energy products and was entrusted with the nuclear fusion device)
--He wanted to control of Wayne Enterprises. Nothing overly complex about it. However, he was getting played by Bane and Marion Cotillard's character as part of a long con. The fingerprints, again, were a way to make the options trades look legit on Wayne's part.
--The kid making the jump wasn't cheesy, it was essential to the story AND essential to the absolutely fucking awesome plot twist. ps - it's a comic book movie.
--Not sure if the scar was a specific shape. But, if you really managed to know the twist without any spoilers, then I'm pretty blown away. The movie definitely hints at it throughout the entire thing, but it sure as shit wasn't clear to 100% of the audience I was in that it was coming. One other big hint is that Bruce / Batman keeps talking about "wearing masks to protect the ones you care about." That shit applied to both Batman AND Bane.
--The last thing, they didn't show the dude's face because it was all basically stories and myths about Bane that were tossed around until the truth was revealed. In Nolan's Batman canon, Bruce's dad was never ever some sort of hero type. I don't think that was the case for him ever in any Batman shit. But, who knows.
Anyway. The movie was fucking awesome. The biggest criticism really just stems from the fact that there is a TON of content to cover. It's really epic in scale and a LOT of pieces have to fall in place in the first hour to set up the rest of the movie. I think it worked, but again, there's definitely a lot of stuff that happens so you've gotta pay attention.
All in all, I plan on seeing it again now that I know all the things I know.
END OF SPOILERS.
ALSO HAS SPOILERS, SO DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE...
It amazes me that I read speculation about this particular part of the movie months and months and months ago.. I don't know the comic book story well enough to have figured any of this out on my own but there was a ton of speculation about whether or not Cotillard's character would actually be Ra's al Ghul's daughter.
At any rate, I do agree there was a ton of ground to cover and, in some ways, the movie felt rushed...but overall, still great.
Regards
SPOILER... DO NOT READ BELOW
I thought it was badass that they Gordon Levitt is Robin, my gf called it as soon as batman said "You wear masks to protect the ones you love"
Such a fucking clutch ass movie
Yeah, they needed the prints to place the bad options order so the guy could (nearly) bankrupt Wayne Enterprises and he could buy it cheap after the stock price plummeted.
I don't think the traitor guy had a long term plan with Bane so much as Bane was using him as a pawn in his game.
The part about the little girl being able to make the jump was a bit silly.
Regards
You need thumb prints to place the order? Cool - never knew that! Thanks for letting me know.
I have one other question...
You know in the aeroplane scene... why did they need the doc's blood and try to revive that guy? Didn't make sense. Can you explain this please?
I also want to know what was up with this.
They see the blood/DNA on a corpse, the US gov't or whoever will think the Doctor was dead.
Not as out of control awesome as #2 but still a phenomenal movie. Anne Hathaway killed it as Catwoman.
Yea thats what I thought but it looked as though they were trying to revive the guy in the bag? And don't forensics check the blood inside the body rather then the blood on a corpse anyway? There were several men who died so wouldn't they have figured it out that a bit of blood was just placed onto the corpse?
Its still a fantastic movie... just trying to make sense of this scene.
They put some of dr orlov's blood in the corpse and then gave him chest compressions so as to get some of the blood to flow in the body to make it more likely that the US govt would think it was the Russian doctor who was dead. It was just an extra detail for realism (as far as a comic book movie goes).
Definitely a solid movie. Beginning was a bit cluttered, and I was never a fan of Nolan long as expositions, but it did what it needed to.
Climax was great, I think it was the right ending. Most epics with happy endings are a let down, but all the pointing to Batman dying and then creating a very nice ending where he can live, kudos to Nolan. He's always a pro at setting up pieces and delivering.
The Dark Knight Rises was great, I agree. I don't with your statement in there being no stand-out character. I thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt did a very good job playing his character.
While most movies get progressively worse as time goes on, this one does the opposite. The last ~25 minutes are some of the best filmography I've seen, as of late.
Watch this movie -- 100%.
Saw it, but I wasn't blow away. I didn't come out with the same "wow" feeling I did after the second one. Maybe the hype of the movie had me expecting more. It was good but I was really expecting more.
-----SPOILER----
I did like the ending however. It was a nice cap to the trilogy and doesn't really leave any loose ends
Spoiler Alert: Bruce Wayne is Batman!
With being busy at work, I just managed to catch the movie today. I really liked it but it's nowhere near the Dark Knight.
Couple of points:
The movie seems to be more light-hearted then the TDK (sounds silly considering Bane) but I feel this took away from the movie a little. Examples being a few more lines for comedic effect I didnt think were necessary - such as when the Congressman yells to Catwoman to call him. Being picky but it took away from the dark nature of the story but by the tiniest margin. This definitely suited the the PG-13 rating then the TDK.
Bane's voice was hokey. It took away from his character.
I thought it was silly that Miranda Tate is supposed to be some 20 years younger then Bane. No way that appears the case and I'm surprised such a major element of the story can be questioned.
Catwoman was terrific. Anne Hathaway is pretty damn hot.
At times I thought Bane was perhaps given too many lines, especially when it came out that he was hired muscle. He had one too many tangents and I felt his character would have been more menacing then he was by limiting his dialogue to absolutely necessary but its a fine line. Could just as easily say the same if he had less dialogue.
Best performance of the 3 movies by Bale. He was very good.
The class warfare aspect was perhaps, depending on your perspective, terrific film-making because it captures the world today (that a lot of movies leave out) or it shows Nolan's politics. I'm more inclined to say the former.
The final fight scene between Bane and Batman could have been longer.
Ending was very well done. I love what Alfred brings to the movies, and he was great again.
This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm stunned that so many people thought this was an awesome movie. I literally fell asleep during part of it.
Character development was terrible; way too much focus on CGI; Bane had no actual motive for wanting to kill 12 million people; the fight scenes sucked; and Batman was not even in most of the movie. I genuinely can't believe the positive response.
Heath Ledger was BY FAR the best villain of any yet portrayed. He was AMAZING and blew away Bane.
