The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[DiFabio]

And all that would be left is that stupid ass mask and a smoldering vest.




Man, I want that Lawgiver. Imagine if that actually existed.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

He didn't devolve at all. He completed his arc

First time in comic book movie history, I might add, that the main character arc has been truly addressed start to finish.

nolan batman is a *****

**** ya

the damn thing can shoot different rounds of ammo by switching a button

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah.

Spoiler

Also, as soon as I started thinking, "shouldn't he start running out of ammunition now" is EXACTLY when he started running out of ammo.

 

[Sachiel]

People still about TDKR in here?

Oh dear...

 

[intothevoid]

No amount of *****ing will make me love it any less.

I sense a 000000000.00001% decrease in your love.

Oh dear...

SW Prequels 13 years old and *****ing still happening, get used to TDKR *****ing, it's only been 2 months.

 

[DiFabio]

I remember I was upset back in 2005 when they didn't show Qui-Gon Jinn as a Force ghost and Yoda explained it with exposition instead. Despite my hate for the Prequels, I always thought Qui-Gon Jinn was THAT DUDE.

Then 7 years later my wish was fulfilled when Qui-Gon appeared to Bruce as a force ghost.

ROTS = TDKR

EPIC CRAP. GRAND SCALE NONSENSE. MONTAGE ENDING. NOT ENOUGH DARTH VADER AND BATMAN. PLOT HOLES. CHANTING CHOIR.


At least General Grievous had a better death than Bane. Oh, and he sounded cooler.

Difference being the prequels are ****.

Well, at least it's more self contained to this thread now instead of randomly showing up in others even when the conversations have nothing to do with TDKR.

So, I'll leave you guys to it.

 

[CelticPredator]

Yeah, I can't get behind the notion of comparing even a poop Nolan took to the incredibly retarded Star Wars Prequels.

[ZaCHw117]

Comparing Nobats to the SW prequels? Yeah, this thread has become ***** central.

Better comparison would be the LOTR trilogy.

Waits for difabio to ***** about TDKR being compared to LOTR then leave the board for two weeks only to come back and ***** more about TDKR.

Khev, I'm telling DiFab you hacked his account.

 

[DiFabio]

The only similarity between LOTR (specifically ROTK) and that movie that came out 2 months ago was the way it was advertised and their attempt at making a large scale final battle. That whole "epic", bigger is better, mentality that Nolan got himself sucked into.

TDKR fails in that regard. Lord of the Rings has much more heart, better written characters, better arcs. In fact, even comparing them is a disservice to LOTR. It's disgraceful to even compare Bruce, Alfred, Fox and Gordon to the likes of Frodo, Aragorn, Gandalf, Sam, etc. etc.

The only similarity is the title cards used in the trailers. "Epic Conclusion", "Legend ends", "Journey Ends". It was all marketing. Spider-Man 3 did the same thing, "THIS COULD BE THE END OF SPIDER-MAN". This shouldn't be surprising considering Warner Bros. is producing the Hobbit films . . .


Hardcore fans bought right into it, just like they always do. I lost some respect for Nolan with that whole, "WE BASED OUR MOVIES OFF OF PETER JACKSON'S LOTR FILMS FOR THIS EPIC ENDING TO THE EPIC DARK KNIGHT LEGEND".

Oh really, you did? All marketing. He even contradicts himself in saying, "Peter Jackson made the films at the same time where I just made them up as I went along". Just like he contradicted himself saying that "story comes first". Uhhh, seemed like IMAX and technical filming came first there bro.

Fans also use Lord of the Rings as a bar in hopes that TDKR will have some sort of Oscar sweep (despite Fellowship and Two Towers already winning a **** ton at the 2001 and 2002 Oscars).


They're nothing alike except in threequel advertising and ambitious scope. ROTK succeeded and exceeded with it's New Zeland country filming, epic Pelennor Fields/Minas Tirith/Black Gate/Mordor battles and emotional characters while TDKR failed with, what, THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS, omg epic Pittsburgh, Wall Street, LA, and Marion Cottilard and Tom Hardy?


Was it the extras? That whole, "BIGGEST FILM SINCE SILENT ERA" crap? I'd fully admit that those CGI orc armies that had computer memories of their own did a better job than I did fighting badly.

 

[CelticPredator]

Yes it was the extras. It had the most extras in a long time.

CGI can blow. Real people is more impressive.

No, that was bull****. Nolan's statement was a lie.

Damn right. Nothing touches the epic Lotr battles.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Point proven.

 

[CelticPredator]

The very worst scene in TDKR is better then the entire trilogy.

Talia's death is better then everything that has fantasy.

**** everyone. I hate movies. EVERYONE DIE IN A FIRE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE WORST MOVIES EVER MADE




Enough hyperbole's?
