Nolan? Every time, especially DKR. His work, somehow to me, is highly subjective amongst those who love to pick on people with great talent. Include yourself in this group.<br /><br />Character Development? Bane? League of Shadows origin? Tying the entire trilogy together? Thats bad? You're a moron?<br /><br />Wasn't slow, it moved incredibly fast to those who are able to grasp fast story telling. Stock market raid, to football field terror, to marshall law, to bruce rising from imprisonment, then conclusion. At no point did that sequence get held up on anything arbitrary.thisguysuckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456048977830620425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860428.post-3489436914611301782012-07-24T20:04:03.260-07:002012-07-24T20:04:03.260-07:00@Lauren

This review is coherent, and he tells you exactly why he didn't like the movie (including complaints about things aside from Bane's spluttering.) As long as it has that, it suffices in quality for something that hasn't had people talking for four years, staying up late, and paying money to experience.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458896224780286161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860428.post-3034099804531991702012-07-20T13:57:24.661-07:002012-07-20T13:57:24.661-07:00Nerd Rage!

You may wish to better qualify your statements. I am perfectly willing to open my eyes to criticism about a movie I enjoy, when the resistance to the film comes with some substantial insight, not when it appears to have been written with a crayon on a napkin in between nap breaks.

Absolutely true, I understood about 30% of what he said throughout the entire movie. Not to mention every time a new character came on screen there was a five minute monologue to explain their backstory. I agree with you on this one, expected a lot more and it was very meandering all throughout. And walking out afterwards all I could think was Matrix Revolutions..kudos on that one too.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151964608021383689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860428.post-10783091877178125722012-07-20T11:37:06.653-07:002012-07-20T11:37:06.653-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959550914689874035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860428.post-88360358689525575862012-07-20T11:16:05.824-07:002012-07-20T11:16:05.824-07:00I wasn't all that wild about the Dark Knight (...I wasn't all that wild about the Dark Knight (liked it, didn't love it), and NOT from contrarianism...I love it when myself, fans, and critics agree. It was still good enough to have me planning to see TDKR, but now I don't think I will.<br /><br />I usually ignore the 15% of negative reviews when a movie scores a 85% on RT, but what's remarkable about all the negative reviews for TDKR is how similar they are to each other. All the negative reviews have the same complaints, which means they're not trolling.

I could hear him just fine, and I've been blaring Pearl Jam into my ears for about 20 years now. To those of you who are criticizing this film, I'm sure there will be a crappy art film for you to laud about soon enough. Then you can sit at Starbucks with your laptop, rave about the movie and show everyone how deep you are.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959550914689874035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860428.post-50657286496748597762012-07-20T10:39:19.162-07:002012-07-20T10:39:19.162-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959550914689874035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34860428.post-8809678911039955602012-07-20T10:19:22.225-07:002012-07-20T10:19:22.225-07:00I watched this at 5am on release date so I could f...I watched this at 5am on release date so I could fit it in... I went without any "high expectations" and was simply expecting to be enthralled and wooed with another great Batman movie. <br />It's a great movie, and a great stand alone movie too... but for me it wasn't up to the standards of the multi-twisted previous installments.<br /><br />There were about 30 of us (in total) watching it, at 5am I'd say that was a hardcore fan base... and when it ended, ONE guy clapped and the rest of the audience just looked at him as to say "Dude, were you watching the same movie we were watching?"...
