Aspenshadow: The Dark Knight Rises Was Not A Very Good Movie

ibleedcyanide 07.22.12	It was not a masterpiece, but it was pretty damn good. It had a few too many flaws, but is a hell of a lot better than the Marvel super hero movies. The Dark Knight Trilogy has more of a mature feel than the Marvel movies, which I think makes it more enjoyable. The Dark Knight is and will always be the best super hero movie of all time, right above Watchmen.
Hyperion1001 07.22.12	yeah it was average at best
Satellite 07.22.12	Aspenshadow Is Not A Very Smart User
Acanthus 07.22.12	Haven't seen it yet, not expecting it to top the first two films.
ibleedcyanide 07.22.12	Aspenshadow Is Not A Very Smart User (2)
TBliss2 07.22.12	Not nearly enough of Batman in it in my opinion.
Hyperion1001 07.22.12	the plot was a mess, the characters were underdeveloped, and it was anticlimactic in just about every point it could be this was actually one of the worst batman films in general
TenSecondsToThink 07.22.12	Stupid people hyping that movie, they pushed it at #2 on IMDB with over 80000 votes.
Trebor. 07.22.12	They should have called it Gotham
saucy 07.22.12	The movie would have had to been longer to fit the story arc. It's just too massive in itself. That said, it was really fucking good. Surpassed my expectations.
Evreaia 07.22.12	haven't seen it yet, but I guess I'll enjoy it as much as the other two. @ibleedcyanide: watchmen was better then TDK!
Trebor. 07.22.12	biggest no ever
Ire 07.22.12	yeah movie was great agreed
Ovrot 07.22.12	Meh It wasn't to die for or anything.
Trebor. 07.22.12	tell em potsy
ibleedcyanide 07.22.12	@ibleedcyanide: watchmen was better then TDK! They are close
Fort23 07.22.12	To the first nigga, the watchmen movie was not that good to me, possibly because the book was too good.
ibleedcyanide 07.22.12	I thought it lived up to the graphic novel pretty well.
Hyperion1001 07.22.12	ilu potsy
Hyperion1001 07.22.12	"the watchmen movie was not that good to me, possibly because the book was too good." the intro scene to that movie is one of the best ever, shame the rest didnt keep that power
ibleedcyanide 07.22.12	Everything is better than Avatar.
MO 07.22.12	yea the graphic novel of watchmen is amazing
TheHamburgerman 07.22.12	why so serious?
dathvada321 07.22.12	I thought it was a great movie although tdk is better
dathvada321 07.22.12	Yeah andcas that's the only thing I didn't like about this movie really
blastOFFitsPARTYtime 07.22.12	Not quite a masterpiece as a film in itself, but as the end of the trilogy fuck yes it was. Worst part of the movie was the pandering to the 'merican audience at the end.
ConcubinaryCode 07.22.12	Haven't seen it yet but from what I've read by the users on here I'll probably wait to rent it.
East Hastings 07.23.12	i think the only flaws i could really find were some awkward plot pacing and underdeveloped characters and relationships, other than that i liked it a lot
erandolph90 07.23.12	The Dark Knight was a "masterpiece." The Dark Knight Rises was just a well made conclusion to a masterful take on Batman. I would rate it 8/10 for the previously mentioned plot stumbling. You would do yourself a disservice to rent it and miss it in the theater.
Tikicobra 07.23.12	I actually liked it better than The Dark Knight.
GhettoHmbrglr 07.23.12	i like that they didn't waste time with developing characters. if you don't know the character backstories it's your fault read the comics. the movie was really aimed towards real batman fans.. which i really appreciate. the only thing that really bothered me was that one clip with ra's al ghul they should have either expanded on that or cut it.. but thats just my stupid opinion.
macadoolahicky 07.23.12	YOUR PROFILE PICTURE IS FUNNY BRO
BallsToTheWall 07.23.12	Movie was decent.
syco722 07.23.12	Movie was awesome.
BassDemon333 07.23.12	Fight scene between Batman and Bane in the sewers was awesome
Calculate 07.23.12	lol no it wasn't
jungletiger 07.23.12	what are you comparing it to, a fucking kubrick movie? It was a damn entertaining and well done blockbuster movie. It was just a good time and I think it was the best one out of the 3.
Hyperion1001 07.23.12	"if you don't know the character backstories it's your fault read the comics." part of my brain died. dont ever post again please i still have 3 years of university to complete
Trebor. 07.23.12	I don't read the comics but I did my fuckin research on the wikipedia plus I watch the show and such and yeah
MeatSalad 07.23.12	Dark Knight>Rises=Begins
ZombicidalMan 07.23.12	I think it's getting more hate than it deserves. With a few different choices it could easily have surpassed TDK, it just stumbled too much. Too much was crammed in while other bits were focused on too little. Solid movie, with the exception of probably the most anti climactic death (Bane's duh) scene in a movie
Satellite 07.23.12	only fat manchildren dislike this film js
Ire 07.23.12	no satty i like this film a lot
Satellite 07.23.12	yeah because that's ever mattered
Satellite 07.23.12	lol ire
Winsomniac 07.23.12	Whoa I really like 1.... Thanks, random guy.
benkim 07.23.12	Premiering in my country this Friday. Going to catch it on Saturday though because I will be working on Friday. The last one is my favorite movie of all time so yeah, am pretty stoked about this.
Aspenshadow 07.23.12	You're welcome, Winsomniac.
DocSportello 07.23.12	Death!...by exile!
nash1311 07.23.12	Fuck the hate. This movie ruled and the plots of all 3 movies are basically made up just with different things drawn from the comics so comparing them to the comics is pointless. My only qualm was Bane and Alfred not getting enough screen time. But it was an amazing movie and a perfect ending to the trilogy. Bane was the perfect flip to the joker because he was methodical and genius and a bruiser and the joker was not but was the embodiment of anarchy. Haters can go sit on their bedposts and do a few spins. potsy and satty ftw If you took Heath out of TDK and replaced him with any other actor it wouldn't even be a competition which movie was better. The last 30 minutes of TDK suck balls.
Steoandnoodles 07.23.12	This is what people do. A film gets a massive amount of hype and some people who don't share said interest find themselves being overly cynical about the movie whether it was good or bad. =P
Gyromania 07.23.12	So you liked the movie but you're on the hate train to counterbalance the hype? That's pretty stupid...
omnipanzer 07.23.12	Based on three story arcs Knightfall The Dark Knight Returns No Man's Land any of which would have made great movies (if not a series of movies) on their own. Not sure why someone would bleed their idea pool so badly.
Inveigh 07.23.12	"This is what people do. A film gets a massive amount of hype and some people who don't share said interest find themselves being overly cynical about the movie whether it was good or bad." so true. movie ruled, of course it was not flawless but c'mon people. whatever happened to just sitting back and letting yourselves be entertained? this isn't Schindler's List.
nash1311 07.23.12	Also the plot twists were stupid and obvious and the gas mask was dumb. If he abides by the plot you say the twist was dumb and expected. If he doesn't you say the comics are so much better and I can't believe he altered the plot (i.e. - in harry potter the movie he breaks the elder wand. like what. the. fuck.). And the mask was sheerly to keep him from being in pain all the time. It wasn't like he physically couldn't take it off and eat or he would die. use your noggin
Gyromania 07.23.12	Well enjoying something is a sign of liking it, so...
Aspenshadow 07.23.12	I'm a huge fan of TDK, but I still didn't like it that much. It was an enjoyable movie overall, but I thought Bane was an incredibly uninteresting villain and that the entire idea of the film was kind of stupid. Catwoman was one of the only few characters that I found interesting and developed. I don't know how you came to that conclusion, Steo, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
Inveigh 07.23.12	I haven't heard one single person "legitimately hailing this as the best movie ever" but then again I don't really take faceless comments on the internet legitimately.
Gyromania 07.23.12	Bane was a kind of weak character due to anonymity, plus that mask strapped on to his face makes it a little difficult for him to show personality.
evilford 07.23.12	I've had to dial my criticism back. TDKR was a great movie, although I liked the first two better. Instead of focusing on what was wrong with it I tried to remember what I enjoyed and all in all it was a good movie and very enjoyable.
Gyromania 07.23.12	Inveigh: I'm pretty sure it isn't being THAT well received by movie critics, and I haven't heard much talk of it being the best film ever. Still, whenever there's a huge mainstream release you can bet your ass that it'll be met with hyperbole from some.
Inveigh 07.23.12	"I thought Bane was an incredibly uninteresting villain and that the entire idea of the film was kind of stupid. Catwoman was one of the only few characters that I found interesting and developed" man I would say the exact opposite, if anything. clearly we just watched this movie from different perspectives. Also, you must have had absolutely no knowledge of Bain from the comics and/or 90s cartoon going in... which is cool and all, but that would be like watching the Lord of the Rings movies and saying something like "ugh, the main characters are little people?! stupid."
nash1311 07.23.12	I'm not talking about comparing Batman to Batman. I'm talking about comparing the plot of his movies to the comics. Obviously the comics will be better. They are original and books > movies always. He made up his own take on Batman. You may not think it lives up to the hype but to say it was shit is ridiculous.
cliiint 07.23.12	"It wasn't to die for or anything." really?
Aspenshadow 07.23.12	@Inveigh: But the difference is that despite me not reading The Lord of the Rings before seeing the movie, I still found every character fleshed out and developed. The fact that TDKR doesn't let people who haven't read the comics get to know and understand Bane better throughout the movie is a huge downside.
nash1311 07.23.12	Dude you're all over the place. Oh well here he didn't follow the comics. But here he did. HE MADE UP THE STORY. He can pick shit from where ever he wants. If he wants to team up with Peter Pan and fuck Tinkerbell, he can. So apart from busting one tube open, if your face was mutilated and a strong guy was punching the shit out of your face you aren't allowed to be weak? LOL and way to go being so tedious. Its a MOVIE. if you're gonna shoot holes in anything the most blatantly stupid thing was they shoot fucking grenades and bullets at a nuclear fucking weapon that apparently is so volatile its gonna blow in 5 minutes. And then it is in the back of an 18 wheeler and falls and slams into the ground but doesnt explode. Its a movie and now you're just being too serious. So you figured out the twist. Want a cookie? I've figured out plenty of twists before they happened. I knew harry potter was a horcrux long before the book. does that make it a shitty series? i'd think not
evilford 07.23.12	I think if anyone was expecting Bane to steal the movie like the Joker did, they were bound to be disappointed. as a character alone, Ledger's Joker might be one of the most interesting ever, in any movie. That dynamic probably would never have been matched again soon, if ever. But from the perspective of what pushes Batman/BW to his limits and challenges him more than ever before, Bane was who needed to come along at last to test that. From a perspective of a personal battle, Batman vs Joker was infinitely enthralling imo. But from the perspective of Batman's final test and what he was able to fight and overcome as an individual, Bane pushed that further than the Joker could have I think. that's just the way I look at it, there are probably countless different views on this.
Inveigh 07.23.12	those are good points, realism is one of my biggest concerns when watching a Batman movie as well
nash1311 07.23.12	Exactly but it is a movie. Very few movies are completely realistic. The shooting at the bomb easily pissed me off the most. And no but seriously people > fish bro. All I'm saying is, its much better than shit.
chips85 07.23.12	american movies are garbage nowadays anyway
nash1311 07.23.12	because making sense = realistic. and good you need sleep.
Aspenshadow 07.23.12	Clearly you have not seen Moonrise Kingdom yet, chips. And Chris Nolan is English.
nash1311 07.23.12	Aspen, sorry for shitting on your thread. if you didn't like it thats cool, i just think the movie is more deserving of the anti-hype people are shelling out on sputnik. It's no masterpiece but its a fuckin sweet trilogy.
Aspenshadow 07.23.12	It's all good. The whole reason I made this was to hear people's opinions so in a was you added to it.
Aspenshadow 07.23.12	*in a way
evilford 07.23.12	"those are good points, realism is one of my biggest concerns when watching a Batman movie as well" lol
AW11 07.23.12	It was okay. Personally the ending pissed me off. I wish they didn't show that it was Batman and Catwomen at that table. I knew the cop was going to be Robin. And Bane was a beta stuck in friendzone. 7/10. Might watch again.
evilford 07.23.12	that would have made for a much less interesting movie
evilford 07.23.12	maybe that was a little gay but it humanized him too which adds depth to the character so yes
evilford 07.23.12	fragile lapdog is a pretty strong term
klap 07.23.12	so, like every super hero villain ever @ andcas
nash1311 07.23.12	The joker was the anarchist. Bane was more faux-anarchy like Ras. He wanted to promote Gotham into destroying themselves and suffering but in the end he was gonna blow them all away anyway. Also, you have to wonder, once reduced to a lapdog, whether he had the brains behind any of it or if it was just Talia all along. He could have just been the brawn and Talia told him what to do.
evilford 07.23.12	well it def seemed at the end like it was mostly Talia's agenda. Bane was somehow otherwise involved with the LoS anyways...
klap 07.23.12	sorry i can't remember a super hero movie where the villain wasn't at least a little incompetent
klap 07.23.12	what fucking movie is that from
Trebor. 07.23.12	I'm watching the animated series on the hub and they re-did the trailer with the animated series rises and it was pretty funny
BallsToTheWall 07.23.12	maybe that was a little gay but it humanized him too which adds depth to the character so yes This, I kind of enjoyed that part.
klap 07.23.12	yeah i was referring to a super hero film, any film. onslaught is a fairly unfilmable character
BallsToTheWall 07.23.12	Im sorry can we all talk about how hot Marion Cotillard is? Holy balls.
Trebor. 07.23.12	yeah between Marion and Ratchel Mcadams ass I had a boner the whole time I was watching Midnight In Paris
someguest 07.23.12	she's 1920s hot
klap 07.23.12	^lol
BallsToTheWall 07.23.12	Me too..I need to own that movie btw. She could make me splooge with her voice.
someguest 07.23.12	also Midnight In Paris was goddamn boring
evilford 07.23.12	She was even hotter in inception We could also talk about Anne Hathaway although she doesnt appear to be too popular
Trebor. 07.23.12	midnight in paris was the second best movie of last year ya dingus
Trebor. 07.24.12	I'm gonna make a biopic about someguest's life and call it The Diltch Knight Rises
Hyperion1001 07.24.12	The White Knight Rises***
PayneTiger777 07.24.12	I thought that Christian Bale did his best acting in this one as opposed to the first two and I liked the soundtrack the best in this one. That being said, I think it is the weakest in the trilogy and they could have taken out a few unnecessary characters, such as Matthew Modine's character and Dagget.
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	The Mayor dun got fucked up.......
Winsomniac 07.24.12	Anne Hathaway is a fucking babe, screw you all. Especially you, Wylie. Fucking Wylie.
someguest 07.24.12	"I'm gonna make a biopic about someguest's life and call it The Diltch Knight Rises" dude Midnight In Paris was a snore the concept was cool and Wilson's great at quirky roles but it just fell flat on its face
Deviant. 07.24.12	"Anne Hathaway is a fucking babe, screw you all." I've never made secret my love affair for her, but she just wasn't that great as Catwoman. And I'll reiterate that she looks like a boy at the moment
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	Anne Hathway looked real good in that movie. Who was that creepy thin guy working for Dagget?
evilford 07.24.12	Idk but yeah Anne Hathaway is a fox
someguest 07.24.12	I watched Love and Other Drugs just to see her naked like 20 times. It was a good day.
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	"It was shit. Can't be bothered explaining why for the hundredth time, but it was very poorly executed and obviously intended for people who knew little about Batman before the Dark Knight trilogy." you look like a bitch
Deviant. 07.24.12	She's got some weird tits though
Deviant. 07.24.12	Never said she wasn't (except for at the moment) I wouldn't have a pic of her on my Last.FM otherwise
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	I love pale women with dark hair. That is all.
Deviant. 07.24.12	"I love pale women with dark hair. That is all." Backed hard
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	brunette/dark hair in general wins most of the time for me
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	heather vandeven with brunette hair > heather vandeven with blonde hair heather vandeven
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	Beth Ditto mmmmmmmh
Trebor. 07.24.12	cigarettes are like boner repellant for me
someguest 07.24.12	I can respect a woman that smokes.
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	Ever since seeing Dark Shadows ive been entranced by Bella Heathcote.
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	"cigarettes are like boner repellant for me" agreed
Storm In A Teacup 07.24.12	sir, would you like some nicotine and tar on your dick?
Deviant. 07.24.12	"Ever since seeing Dark Shadows ive been entranced by Bella Heathcote." Never thought Eva would have pulled off being a blonde, but holy shit
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	Same.
Neurisis of Luna 07.24.12	"heather vandeven" yesss
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	I mean ill always prefer the real Eva Green but yeah she was a foxxxy blonde. It made me depressed when Johnny Depp denied her and she died.
Deviant. 07.24.12	Tried to steal the cardboard cutout of her in THAT red dress when we caught it at the movies. Didn't impress my girlfriend
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	seriously how the fuck did heather vandeven go into porn... not an ounce complaining but it baffles the mind
evilford 07.24.12	Cigs? Whatever I smoke too AH is still fucking hot.
Neurisis of Luna 07.24.12	vandeven just has that great body man i would too if I had that face
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	I'm impressed.
evilford 07.24.12	"Tried to steal the cardboard cutout of her in THAT red dress when we caught it at the movies. Didn't impress my girlfriend" Lol
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	"vandeven just has that great body man i would too if I had that face" that's what one of my friends said when i showed him a video of her
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	vandeven in a three some with you and your wife i think you'd die
Neurisis of Luna 07.24.12	omg the torture of just thinking about it
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	i think both would be down for it as well, seeing the way heather is...
Deviant. 07.24.12	"vandeven in a three some with you and YOUR wife" Sweet, thanks for the permission
Neurisis of Luna 07.24.12	i want her to sit on my face
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	vandeven is 31? are you fuckin serious... hmmm...12 year difference...but who gives a flying shit
evilford 07.24.12	I'll take AH one on one that's fine w/ me
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	4 some with holly peers, rosie jones, and heather ...
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	5 some with me.
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	3 girls 2 guys works
Deviant. 07.24.12	You leave Rosie out of your fantasies. She is mines I tells ya, mines!
Neurisis of Luna 07.24.12	"4 some with holly peers, rosie jones, and heather" I could die again
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	original
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	Good odds for any Greek.
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	"You leave Rosie out of your fantasies. She is mines I tells ya, mines!" you have eva green at least give us something
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	keeley hazell.......http://rockettothesun.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/dave-hester-storage-wars.jpg
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	add india reynolds in there as well
evilford 07.24.12	Hayden Panettiere
Neurisis of Luna 07.24.12	i'm wolfing hard now
evilford 07.24.12	Nice yuuup
wabbit 07.24.12	awful movie. Bane's voice was the only good part.
Deviant. 07.24.12	"add india reynolds in there as well" She has a chav-y face (for, you know, if you ever look up)
acorncheese 07.24.12	movie was fucking fantastic. "I knew the cop was going to be Robin." wow, that must've taken away so much from the movie. a fucking two year old could probably tell the cop was going to be Robin.
BallsToTheWall 07.24.12	Keira Knightley
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	peta todd, sara carbonero, krystal forscutt
AW11 07.24.12	"wow, that must've taken away so much from the movie. a fucking two year old could probably tell the cop was going to be Robin." Took a lot away from it. Robin is a shitty superhero.
Deviant. 07.24.12	Good thing you don't see him do anything then
Trebor. 07.24.12	He's not fucking robin that's just his name Nolan you asshole you're confusing people
DocSportello 07.24.12	but if his name is robin does that not mean he is robin
Trebor. 07.24.12	Batman is retired how the fuck can you be a sidekick to a retired person Robin's name is dick greyson goddamnit
Deviant. 07.24.12	Snoxall you need to get laid
Trebor. 07.24.12	Yeah it was pretty retarded to make his first name robin, like jesus christ how dumb do you think the audience is Is somebody gonna see him going into the batcave and not fucking get that he's taking over for bruce
evilford 07.24.12	I think anyone actually watching the movie saw that JGL was discovering the batcave and would take over as batman and the fact that his legal name was Robin was just a nod to the history of the franchise characters. Nolan has said many times he was never going to include Robin, the sidekick. Also, Hayden Panettiere
evilford 07.24.12	I hope so!
climactic 07.24.12	it was sooo good. bane was fucking badass and his crazy voice made it so much more awesome
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	"Got laid twice this morning whilst raging over this film." bullshit
ShadowRemains 07.24.12	revive the foxy girl talk
Strider 07.28.12	Bane's death didn't need to be climatic, in the end he's just a pawn. the movie was amazing, it could've been better than TDK if it had better vilains, but the "Bane's" plan was way better than anything ever seen in a Batman movie.
omgraptors 07.28.12	Only a child or an adult idiot would enjoy this mess of a movie.
Sirob 07.28.12	tdk was better than this because of the joker basically. film is still amazing though
Calc 07.28.12	bunch of professional critics in here...
