Come anticipate "The Dark Knight Rises" with *BATSPOILERS*

i just plan to do that w climate change

Watching bane slur his way through lawless last night was a laugh

I'm glad he went Modern Comic Book wrt to the plot. It was a great ending too!

finally got around to watching this. it's fucking terrible.

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.

it really is amazing to watch this fucking thing. It's just completely tone-deaf, stupid and horribly misguided.

the whole bane at the stadium thing, i mean jesus christ
and doritos paid to sponsor that!

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.

yeah, it feels like there's at least two lousy movies in this.
all this immensely dumb shit compressed into the most ludicrous package

and yet so much time spent on dumb sadism and grandiose nihilism

if it were really going for nihilism it probably would've been a lot more entertaining!

i am enjoying watching this old guy punch christian bale's vertebra back in. that's kinda been the high point.
also the dumb bane voice.

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

wait, which moment

The rope sitting idly by the edge of the pit, where a goddamn goat or something could walk by and knock it over.

lol

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.

for all the garbage in this movie, i'll always love that stupid Bane voice

they'll be expecting two bodies in the wreckage BROTHERRRRR

you gotta figure all these guys in the prison must be getting tired of watching this schmuck keep rock climbing and yet they keep showing up for the chanting

omg hahahaha the rope
that IS funny

there's still.. so much movie left

for all the garbage in this movie, i'll always love that stupid Bane voice

they'll be expecting two bodies in the wreckage BROTHERRRRR

what is the deal with this commissioner gordon b plot? who thought what a superhero movie needed was more talky talky

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

Token moral complexity trappings

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.

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.

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.

ugh fight choreography is SO BAD why is this so poorly thought out
WHERE IS THE TRIGGER WHERE IS THE TRIGGER WHERE IS IT ARAARAAAARGH

i see i called the thalia thing. i am not proud in any way.

batman's gonna fly the atom bomb away in his batplane
why is this film still going
why am i still watching it

wait til superman shows up and breaks the bomb's neck

ha, ditto. kinda wish they'd stuck with the original dub or w/e

stupid voices secretly best thing about nolan batman movies

otm

I seriously do impressions of the Bane voice to myself, like, once a week.

It works incredibly well with nursery rhymes.

twinkle twinkle little... star?

bane voice has some great questioning uptalk

yeah, GRRRWHYDOYOUWANNAKILLME/WHERESHARVEYDENT scene from TDK still brings the lols

i like that batman and bane not only sound like children pretending to be monsters, but that their fight scenes come off like two dolls being bashed against each other

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.

script predated OWS, sheesh
