The Dark Knight Rises *SPOILERS*

[tomandshell]

Alfred looking into the camera was cheesy and it felt like it was two seconds away from becoming an outtake or a breath mint commercial.

 

[Irvy]

Her death was like something from an 80's movie! Even more so, she croaked it after the crash but good ol' Gordon is rolling around in the back of the truck with a friggin giant metal bomb and survives

 

[Goonsack Steve]

Am i the Only one who almost cried at the Burial scene because of Alfred? I reckon if that scene went on for about 10 more seconds, i would of lol......

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yep, didn't like Talia's death either. Overall I liked the film a lot. Not as much as TDK yet but we'll see.

Definitely not enough Batman plus I didn't like the fact he was M.I.A. for eight years. Him being in play for at least a few years after the events in TDK would have been more of a foundation for his injuries in this movie.

I thought his goodbye scene when he left earlier in the film was emotional. But the funeral scene outburst was a little over the top and melodramatic. Felt like Nolan was sitting next to me chopping onions trying to make me cry. But it was overplayed and therefore less effective. If it had been more subtle it probably would have gotten to me.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It was the worst acted/directed "croak" scene since Anakin's mom died.

Oh no....


So people seem to really like Catwoman. Does this undermine the theory that Nolan can't direct woman or is the success of Catwoman purely Hathaway?

 

[Gully Foyle]

Talia's moment of death got just about the only laugh in the movie.

I and a few others laughed when Bruce finally climbs out of the prison, and merely throws a huge thick rope down to the hundreds of tortured souls below.

"See ya, punks! I gotta get back to Gotham!"
(Where the hell was that prison supposed to be, anyway? Turkey?)

In fact, the more plausible your tone, the harder it is to pull off the blatant comic book moments.

And the "faked death" cliche for the umpteenth time was tired. Exactly why did Alfred bawl over his tombstone? Just to fake out Gordon and Lucius (and us)?

 

[tomandshell]

She did better than I expected, actually. I thought it was bad casting, but I was wrong.

 

[Bullseye]

It's a pity the real villain wasn't revealed alittle earlier. She would have made for a more interesting villain than Bane did.

 

[tomandshell]

I forgot--Gordon opening the back door after the crash also got a laugh.

 

[Bullseye]

Hathaway was good as Catwoman but she ultimately did not have enough to do. Marion was totally underused for a leading lady Oscar winner.

 

[Irvy]

Another thing, how did bane stop batman's smoke bomb thing from working in their first fight? It just sort of explodes around him.

 

[The Batman Professor]

Being virtually impervious to pain, it just didn't work on Bane.

Best movie of the year, BTW.

Sure he said it had something to do with the training he had received under The League Of Shadows, like he was conditioned or something

At that time, he thought he was dead.

 

[intothevoid]

Biggest laugh for me was 'so that's what it feels like'

And there were plenty others, I thought the comic relief was spot on.

 

[Gully Foyle]

It's been a constant in this trilogy that Batman's enemies are hyper-competent uber-villians and Bats just struggles to keep up.

 

[Goonsack Steve]

I had a good laugh at the Football stadium scene when that kid was singing and Bane said "What a lovely voice"

 

[Gully Foyle]

At that time, he thought he was dead.

So when he sees him over a glass of port in Florence he's just "Oh, cool . . . there's Master Wayne"?
