Drive (2011) - 10/10
I keep going back to this film occasionally. The art direction, cinematography, the 80s style synth music, and the attitude of the entire film just does it for me. Ryan Gosling's portrayal of the Driver is the epitome of cool.
The Dark Knight Rises - 8.5/10
Somebody gave TDKR a 10/10???? Whaaaaat. I thought that movie was mediocre at best especially considering that it followed a 10/10 movie (imo) in TDK.Good on you not rating it higher. Sick of it getting 10/10s when it's just not the truth.

Definitely agree. I think that's why TDKR dissapointed me so much I didn't realize until TDKR that I didn't love TDK for Batman I loved it for Joker. That said TDK has plenty of joker in it so I still love it. Definitely one of my favourite movies.Oh you know what, I actually thought he wrote TDK [emoji38] I don't think it's mediocre, but aside from the Joker, it's meh.
How dare someone rate a movie they like high.

Ledger was great, but if he's not on screen, I'm not interested.
You must hate Batman Begins
I used to feel that way, but a few months ago I saw a video about Batman's role in the film, and it changed how I view his character, so now I really like Batman's role in the story and how it works in relation to the Joker.
That being said, TDKR had to undo everything that made the preceding films great. Brrr...
It's cliche to say, but Ledger's death undid that third one. He was left alive for a reason.
After watching Begins and Rises, I don't think Begins is great, but it's very good, especially considering it was made after Batman and Robin, but I think Rises is overall a superior film with better villains and action sequences, even if it's not as good as TDK.
While it was the most ambitious, there's so many problems with it. Not poorly made, not at all... it's just all over the place.
It always bugged me that the end Police force... of the entire city, gets trapped underground which somehow is an alternate dimension where facial hair doesn't grow.
That's a misconception, it wasn't the entire police, and they even mention it, that "cops were being hunted like dogs", so most were actually hiding.
The facial hair is true Unless, they got razor blades as part of the supplies they were getting from the people above, but that's unlikely
There are a lot of details that some people missed, so they became "issues" that some people like to use against the film. It's like the "how Batman got back in to Gotham? They skipped it so it's a mistake!! It was impossible to get in to Gotham!!" No, it wasn't actually, supplied trucks were getting into the city deliver food among other items. It was the citizens who couldn't leave, but people from the outside still got in, like the CIA guys disguised as food distributors.
Having said that, the film does have some flaws, but so does Begins and TDK. A lot of people like to ignore those flaws though.
