Batman - The Dark Knight Rises

[CloneF13Y35]

I agree with you 100% Nick. Just like when Iron Man and The Dark Kinght were compared the summer they came out, I think these two films will be. I think they will both be great, but both very different from one another.

I agree with ya. I remember thinking how much I enjoyed both Iron Man and The Dark Knight; Both were very well done movies, good story, characters etc. I remember thinking IronMan was a more 'fun' movie since it wasn't as dark but that TDK was the better of the two. But I'll eventually burn a hole in both dvd's  as well as stop what I'm doing/watching when I see either one on tv.

LOL thanks for that

Just got out of Batman, better than I thought it would be. I thought it was somewhat predictable though. So overall, enjoyable but no where as good as the first 2.

Old school comic guy here with no knowledge whatsoever of who the new bad guy is:

Why does he look NOTHING like the character on the cover of the graphic novel? That thing on the cover is so ripped it would have to be CGI in a movie.

Is there some backstory there or could they just not find anyone that huge who could actually act?

12 dead 50 injured.....no one hear about this?

[BillCable]

I'm sure everyone has.  They just chose not to discuss it here.

I'm going to see it this afternoon but definitely saddened by that news, we have enough real world problems so when people do something for fun some other distraught/deranged idiot has to ruin it for everyone else.

Wow - I hadn't heard about this.  Here's the E! article.  Mike, I get your earlier post now.

I don't understand why you would go to all the trouble of rigging your apartment with sophisticated explosive devices, and then TELL the cops about it after you get arrested. What was the point in the first place? He only wanted it to explode for robbers?

Sick, sad world.

Maybe he had enough kills for one day.  Telling the cops or not telling them doesn't make him sound any more sane.

RE the movie, I loved it. Just as good as TDK, although I recommend brushing up on your Batman Begins knowledge before seeing it, as there are tons of flashbacks.

People keep wanting to compare it to Avengers and while I personally preferred TDKR more, it's really had to compare the two since they're both completely different movies.

I thought TDKR was a hot mess. I felt like I came in the middle and missed a bunch of stuff, wondering who all these new characters were that were suddenly key to the story.  Too little Batman in the movie as well.  It sort of felt like Spider-Man three at times, too many villains so other than Bane, some seemed to get the short stick.  Too much time on JGL's character....but I won't discuss my problem with this because it's spoilery.

There were flashes of brilliance but so few and far between I left the movie still wondering if I actually liked it or not.  I'm still not sure.  And, yes, there were a lot of flashbacks, all of which I  understood because I watched the previous two movies within the last 3 weeks or so.

I didn't compare it to The Avengers, I compared it to the first two movies and I don't think it stands up.

   E...

Glad to hear that having my wife sit down with me and watch Batman Begins and The Dark Knight with me is going to pay off. While I remember those movies, I'm sure she wouldn't have so I would have been had to play 20 questions with her throughout TDKR.
