Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

[EVILFACE]

I never understood this logic. What was Batman supposed to do? If your story is that Gotham's vigilante protector went crazy and murdered five people, how is that really going to hold up when he immediately goes back to the status quo? What is he supposed to do? Start killing people for real?

If he goes back to just beating up thugs and leaving them incapacitated for the cops, then, suddenly, the lie that you told Jim Gordon to tell self-destructs, and so, too, do the years of "clean streets" that come with it. The only other thing I can think of is that he buys a cheap Batman costume like all those cops did and pretends to be one of the copycats, instead of the actual Batman.

I expected him to, I don't know, continue fighting crime.

I mean he actually did start killing people for real in rises lol. Did't he shoot talia with that bat plane thing or did she die from the crash?

She died from the crash but he definitely killed the driver.

The driver of the trash truck in TDK was also prolly killed by him.

And I'm sure several of the LOS ninjas were killed by the fire Wayne started when he refused Fake Ra's request.

Have you seen this bad acting? She didn't die, she faked it!

Seems to me rises and the dark knight trilogy is just one of those things that becomes so popular people start to 'hate' it.

It has flaws but it's a damn sight better than any marvel film. They're all terrible other than the winter soldier.

Thor. Young prince causes trouble. Does something bad. Daddy hates him. Gets expelled from country. His brother turns bad. Wants the throne for him self. Young prince comes back to retake what is his.

It's like a child written Thor.

Yea that bane fight was so boring. i remember the nolan boys kept saying it was such a tense fight but i remember being bored out my mind. Not to mention I thought Bane was going to break his back lifting batman over his head.

Watch it again, there is an edit just as he's going to lift him over his head.

Just like the the rest of the movie, it's sloppy.

worst extra made the cut.lolz

Whilst TDK is my favourite/most watched overall from the trilogy Batman Begins is still the best Batman movie of the three. It has such a better Batman vibe about it. Saying that I really should watch it again soon, it's been awhile.

 

[jye4ever]

I love the Batmobile chase, it shakes my room.

 

[fosing]

i just like to put it out there...

that bane is a pedo..

pedobane.

that was his only crime.

 

[a-dev]

worst extra made the cut.lolz

Christ, look at the way he's flailing his arms about like a Power Rangers baddie.

If you turn on Closed Captioning subtitles for that scene it has Batman saying, "Henchman with the wrench, you don't even have a name tag, why don't you just lie down."

 

[jye4ever]

I thought it said:

"You killed my Shaolin teacher...and brother....."

I do think that the whole scene where Blake explains that he figured out his identity was the goofiest in the movie.

"The way you looked at us, I'd seen that look before, I instantly knew who you were." Huh? I almost expected Peter Venkman to show up and say, "You're right Blake, no human being would look at orphans that way."

And then Bruce is all, "Hmm, you guessed my identity. Okay you're Batman now."

Blake: "Wait...wut?"

I know DKR had its goofy WTF moments, but like Ironman3 I don't think it was a bad movie it just went in a direction that no one expected. Even Harry Knowles gave it an unfavorable review and that guy seemed to enjoy the new FF movie. For me it's the weakest of the three. After the setup at the end of TDK I just knew it was going to take a Batman year one turn where he's out there huntin criminals, the cops are hunting him and Gordon is always helping batman on the sly.

Guilty pleasures or not, bad films are still bad.

I think Iron Man 3 is a genuinely good movie that gets flack for not meeting expectations by comic movie geeks. I think Dark Knight Rises is OK, but seriously flawed for reasons that have nothing to do with its connection to the other films or the expectations of comic fans.

I pretend tdkr didn't exist. Terrible movie. As a batman fan I hate it. Hated that stupid interpretation of robin and catwoman and hated everything about "batman" in the movie. O well done and gone.

Yeah, I choose to just ignore TDKR myself. My 2 young sons have seen BB and TDK and are constantly bugging me to see Rises. I refuse to watch it with them. IMO, everything that Nolan got right about Bats was flushed away when I saw Rises. What a bad end to an otherwise impressive run by Nolan.

 

[karamazov80]

Total speculation on my part, but it felt to me like Nolan got roped into a 3-film contract and was creatively done after the second. Some things in the film worked really well, IMO.

 

[**16k**]

It's really weird, because TDKR is the movie that reconciled me with the whole Nolan saga. It's flawed, but if you look at its predecessors, they are equally flawed and full of nonsensical bits here and there. I don't think that people are truly being honest there. It's a superhero movie, not the latest masterpiece from Kurosawa. It's limited by its inherent format where it has to please a diversified audience, entertain and make money, all that at the same time. I think it does just that!

Nolan himself talked about it back there, so you're not wrong.
Also, he's against digital filming which explains the rushed quality.
