The Dark Knight Rises - Page 3

Yep, they did indeed. Nolan especially. It reminds me of how Ridley Scott kept insisting Prometheus had nothing to do with Alien, and then everybody goes and sees it and it's like almost a direct prequel to Alien.

Of course, half of the problem was that little kid who played young Talia running her face. But their response should have just been to not say anything.

Less charitable people would say its major problems are its terrible pacing, atrocious script that just meanders all around the place over and over again picking up threads- dropping them-repeatng them, some uneven performances and a strange wavering of tone constantly leaving a movie with a great climax but a terrible first 2 hours but good thing they are not here.

Well I for one am glad that our membership does not include such uncharitable souls.

It was pretty shitty, except for a decent end. Kind of the opposite of what you expect out of the third movie in a trilogy! Way to mix it up, Nolan.

I totally called that Blake shit like a year ago.

Yeah if the internet had avoided all the fake spoilers I would have taken it more seriously when it apparently came up with some of the real plot twists.

Pretty much everyone alive called every plot twist until they started just being flatout "no that doesn't happen in the movie, you're stupid"

Welp, that was the angriest a movie's made me in a long time.

On the bright side, I can rest assured that there can't possibly be anything redeemable about Man of Steel if this is the direction DC's happy with letting Nolan take their characters.

Now can jerks stop telling me I have to watch movies before deciding I don't want to watch them because they are shitty now that Nolan has made a Batman movie that is really, really shitty?

Just because it's bad capitalist propaganda doesn't mean it isn't capitalist propaganda.

Hathaway and Hardy were good. The action sequences were more effective. Absolutely every other aspect of the film was the trilogy at its worst.
