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

[intothevoid]

Just got back. For know, I'll just say that that was one of the most visceral movie going experiences of my life.

I loved it.

The movie was amazing!!! I loved every bit of it.

Spoiler

I loved how they choose to have bane break batmans back!

I didn't the way they killed bane. I wish he had a more epic death.

Im not sure where this will end up versus the other two ultimately for me, but this is the only one where I felt scared for Batman, felt pain for Wayne and felt overwhelming emotion for Alfred's relationship with Bruce

Interesting reading the different reactions. I'd say this was the least engaging of Nolan's Batman films for me.

Yeah, not sure where it ranks yet. But I cried twice. And I agree with everything you said.

Cried twice too, both involving Alfred

Spoiler

The scenes with Alfred and Bruce really chocked me up, especially the end scene when he cries on Bruce's grave.

Begins was for me but the reactions actually haven't been too surprising so far.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Spoiler

The ending didn't need shot of selina and Bruce.

Would have been better just with Alfreds nod.

Spoiler

And that's why Caine deserves an Oscar nomination for this film. He's a man at his wit's end, caring for a surrogate son who is broken and wanting to go out in a blaze of glory and ultimately one of the reason he's broken in the first place (concealing Rachel's choice of Dent over Bruce). Those scenes with Bale's Bruce, culminating in Alfred's revelation that he burned the note are so profound and so powerful, they squeeze your very heart and touch your soul.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Just got back from seeing TDKR and it as excellent.

A fitting end to the trilogy.

 

[lambo944]

Please put spoiler tags on that jrice. There are still lots of people that havn't seen the movie.

Edit: Thanks

Would've driven people

But I agree

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

But I agree

If you couldn't tell from all of the flashbacks, Nolan really likes to spell it out for people.

 

[VS1976]

Spoiler

The scenes with Alfred and Bruce really chocked me up, especially the end scene when he cries on Bruce's grave.

it wasn't needed and it should have been left out. The grave scene with Alfred was a very powerful and memorable. It was one of the best part of the movie.

 

[BadMuthaDude]

Great movie, need to watch it again asap. Like TDK, the first viewing is very intense. I'd like to go back and watch it being a bit more relaxed.

 

[wofford29]

Spoiler

The Inceptionized ending talk is a bit absurd. If the autopilot being fixed by Bruce wasn't enough, they even mention at the estate hearing that the pearls are mysteriously missing and then show Selina sitting across from Bruce wearing them when Alfred sees them.

 

[CelticPredator]

^ Exactly.

 

[JAWS]

Spoiler

He also fixes the Bat signal to let Gordon know he is still out there and alive

 

[JAWS]

I think this was a great trilogy. My only issue is that the time between Begins and TDK was like what?? Six months? A year tops?

Spoiler

And then he goes into hiding and then shows up as Batman again for a few days. I know this is Nolans Batman but I like the idea of Batman fighting crime for more then 1 year and 3 days. Also was not a fan of the Happy Ending for Bruce. he's the GD Batman

Otherwise pretty much series of films.

 

[bg188]

Just got back from the IMAX showing. I thought it was a fantastic conclusion to one of my favorite film series of all time. Definitely want to check this out at least once or twice more in the theater and catch some of the smaller details that I know I probably missed this first time.

 

[gdb]

So the first film was Nolan's tribute to Blade Runner and the second was his tribute to Heat.

Spoiler

Anyone else catch Bain knitting during the trial scene? That was when I first started piecing it together. This is A Tale of Two Cities.
