i looked away for a minute and bruce wayne lost all his money and was making out with the heiress in front of a fireplace. only barely engaged enough to leave it on in the background. just hard to care about any of this shit. Is she thalia i guess?

even the choreography is uninspired. amazing how they found a way to make batman boring, that's something i guess

i totally refuse to read the shitton of earlier posts that I'm sure echo this sentiment but i have the creeping suspicion a lot of people want to believe the stupidity in this thing is "just like the comic" right? as if filming a comic book represents some sort of more sensible and meaningful project than making a comic book directly from a film.

the way every dialogue scene is clipped so it's just the actors reciting the bare minimum of information is so off-putting and overbearing. Even The Phantom Menace let its actors stretch out more.

watch very carefully for the moment after Batman escapes for one of the dumbest moments in movie history.

everything about that prison still cracks me up.
special agent dude from rescue me getting five minutes of terrible dialogue followed by a quick killing and a public hanging seems entirely in keeping with the spirit of this dumbass exercise.

one thing keaton had going for him that bale doesn't is inherent likability. bale is less charismatic than bane is.

this movie is such a nothing. kind of amazing how bad Nolan blew it. I think it was a combo of terrible villain and feeling the need to stick batman in a hole, not to mention deciding that making it more epic meant that he'd have more time to devote to matthew modine's pathetic character arc and JGL in a useless supporting role.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Monday, 1 July 2013 06:30 (ten years ago) link
this is basically a four issue miniseries, chopped into storyboards and setpieces which explains why it's simultaneously rushed, immensely slow and tin-eared. this is dancing about architecture in grand scale.how in the hell was this a blockbuster? who has the patience for this?

I recognize that folks might hate BB and TDK but those movies are imo pretty rewatchable and massively fun, w the villains played by actors who seem to take joy in the roles. not sure why it even matters who played bane, can't believe it was a fun role for tom hardy.
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Monday, 1 July 2013 06:37 (ten years ago) link
All the fucking "occupied gotham" shit is so horrible. It's like the pianist without the action scenes.

i'd agree with that. i watched the first two not with any overwhelming joy but they were fine. this is DOA.

I seriously do impressions of the Bane voice to myself, like, once a week.
It works incredibly well with nursery rhymes.

LOL yes!
The plot of these movies is utterly ridiculous though, even given the comic book world they live in. The OWS stuff they shoehorned in was weak and pretty dumb. The shackles of rule by the rich and powerful are thrown off for the populist....um ... guy that blew up a football stadium. And then this same guy who has killed many innocent people reads from a confession about the truth about Harvey Dent and all of Gotham believes him and turns on the police? At a certain point it becomes more than plot holes, it's a general lack of focus, unclear motivations all around, etc.
Felt like there were too many things they wanted to include in this movie and all of them got written in but the impact was severely diminished for pretty much all of them.
