Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &
Yeah since everyone was saying it was so epic I thought it was just me being in a bad mood the first time I saw it. After watching it so many times I like it now but I'm not sure I will ever understand the 10/10 perfect ratings (or the ratings lower than 6/10 for that matter). I want to like all the three Batman movies equally as much, I want it to be the perfect trilogy for me since BB and TDK are my favorite movies of all time. Oh well, at least it's an epic saga/story if I see all three movies as one complete movie.
I think expectations were very very high...being touted as the superhero movie to end all superhero movies...
I was absorbed into it and thought it was a fitting climax but so many people expected another cunning, crazy all out maniacal super villian to challenge Bats. Nolan knew he could not go the "new Joker" route. He took it a different direction.
That is why some folks trash it...wasn't a direct sequel to TDK to continue it's theme and feeling.
