The Dark Knight Rises ***USE SPOILER TAGS***

[wofford29]

BTW, I don't think Todd McCarthy is doing TDKR any favors by saying AVENGERS is "childish" in comparison. That's the kind of stuff that breeds backlash.

Appears we're in for a lot of that.

Time magazine's tag line...

Make way, puny Avengers, for the grand tale of a superhero in emotional crisis, as Gotham City faces economic collapse and a reign of terror. Can Batman even come to his own rescue?

I'm just waiting for the the poll threads


Avengers vs TDKR

And TDK vs TDKR

And BB vs TDKR

And TDKR vs The Hobbit

etc.

The Hobbit?

I don't see him nabbing bad guys in the middle of the night or smacking them around with mystical hammers, lol.

And why the hell would anyone even make a thread like "TDK vs TDKR" or "BB vs TDKR"? They're all in the same trilogy and they're all good films.

People love to argue

And it'll be put up against The Hobbit when it comes to awards season

From Badass Digest

If, as Badass Digest argues, “The Avengers” “defeated irony and cynicism,” then “The Dark Knight Rises” feels like the rock-bottom, lowest-point examination of ourselves which provides the substance to make Joss Whedon’s optimistic vision endure. Because Nolan’s film is a reminder that superheroes aren’t merely a frivolous distraction, or even a wish-fulfillment fantasy, but an embodiment of our best selves – or at least what we want our best selves to be. A cinematic, cultural and personal triumph, “The Dark Knight Rises” is emotionally inspiring, aesthetically significant and critically important for America itself – as a mirror of both sober reflection and resilient hope.

Trust me, plenty of idiotic polls get flung up on here every week

I want to see TDK vs TDKR threads just to see the Nolancampoops™ wipe each other out. It may actually cause a rip in the space-time continuum and a paradox.

With that and their misuse of "novel" to describe graphic novels, and the remark about Avengers, it's a wonder there's even any legitimacy with that rag.

I always thought people just looked at the covers of Time and read something else.

Right you are sir.
Time has become wholly irrelevant

And some tweens shouldn't be allowed to post on message boards.

Are you calling me a tween ? I'm twenty two.

Are you calling me a tween ? I'm tweeny too.

Your point?

Pshh whatever you say old man.

I've been away from forums for a few years. I guess I forgot the stupidity that runs rampant. More to life than silly nonsense.

 

[batfan08]

You crossed a line, Mr. Fine. You tried to get a RISE out of them with your silly review. Shame on you.

Disclaimer: Yes I will see this movie and am a fan of the series thus far.

Terrorism and financial collapse?

It's Batman - I want to see him beat up evil clowns and short guys who look like flightless birds and even that lizard guy from Spider-man, but the DC version.

Holding out hope but the self importantness of this film is killing the very "childish" aspects that make these filme enjoyable to me.

My Meh-Meter is up and down with each review I have read.

I was hoping for more "SWEAR TO MEEEERRRERER!" Batman but the more I read about it it looks like General Batman-vs-Wallstreet-hijacked-by-al-Qaeda.

Take the terrorism aspect and replace Al Qaeda with the 99% fiasco and you've nailed it.

Oh - Never mind... Multi tasking and a Batman thread - not the best combination.
