Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Too much narrative pulled from Knightfall, which made the entire movie uber-predictable when you consider its context. Anne Hathaway and JGL were fantastic though.

I literally was one of the few people that

knew that the cop was robin

by like the second scene. Everyone else in the theater, even in my group of 8 friends that went with me had no clue until the end when they spoonfed it to everyone, and everyone herped and derped audibly.

If anyone knows anything at all about the original Batman story, it would have been a giveaway after one of the first few lines he said. Infuriating that that many people couldn't predict something THAT obvious, IMO.

Although I wish Nolan'd worked the ending scene at the cafe in Paris the same way he did in Inception's ending., i.e. not shown Wayne at the cafe at all. That would've been A+, though this is just a personal bugbear

I said the exact same thing coming out of the theater, and regarding what I said above, the fact that character exists in this movie implies already that

Bruce Wayne didn't die

, meaning they should have done what you said.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Yep, agreed.

Too lazy to use spoiler tags so watch out, guys.



It annoyed me at how obvious Nolan has gotten with his foreshadowing. It's like with Inception... did ANYONE act surprised at all when Cobb "revealed" that he performed inception on his late wife? It was so overly obvious that by the time the reveal came, everyone was like, "Wait, I thought we already knew that?"

Same applies here to TDKR. The convo Alfred has with Bruce near the start about his "dream" of seeing Bruce in a cafe with a loved one? That just totally gives away the ending as an obviously blatant foreshadowing and it really bugged me. It tells you pretty much right there that Bruce won't die in the end, and it also confirms that Blake = Robin.

Aaghhhh.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Hollywood storytelling is aimed at the herp-derpedest of the human species. (lately, so are AAA video game stories, lmfao at how bad Diablo 3 was for example)
Honestly you expect a subtle, nuanced plot reveal in a blockbuster movie? lol go read a book

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

The only part that I disliked is how Bane died in the movie. A simple gunshot... really? I think it was a little rushed at the end but the movie was already long enough. It was good overall.

I also hate what the "bat-airplane" looked like. It's like a flying piece of rubbish. They could have designed it better.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie. It was well done overall. (:

Using the bat in the city would have been tricky if it wasn't anything but a tactical VTOL. A regular fighter jet would be almost impossible to maneuver in the constraints of the city. I personally loved the design.

How Bane died was... funny rofl.

The instant I saw that cop, I leaned over to my brother and said "hey look, Robin" as a bit of a joke. Turns out I was right hehe.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I am surprised more people don't figure out that Batman is Bruce Wayne

I mean, who else is going to be able to afford crazy-ass technology like the Bat? That alone narrows the search down pretty considerably.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I enjoyed the last 20 minutes a lot. Not even close to as good as The Dark Knight. It was entertaining don't get me wrong but it was just another one of those mediocre superhero movies to me, oh well! Can't wait for Man of Steel now, woo!

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I thought the movie was pretty good. The theater was packed and everyone was hyped about it, so that might have had an impact on my perception of how epic it was. I am pretty sure there were only a couple people in the audience that knew who the cop was.
