Just got back from watching it a 2nd time. I loved it even more this time around. I love this movie, the ending knowing Robin is taking over is really satisfying.
Anybody like this line?......
Batman turns and the cliche happened that I HATE, which is the other person vanishes before they turn back around. I HATE that. When he turned I told my brother that Catwoman was going to be gone and I rolled my eyes...
Then Batman says, "So that's what that feels like"
That made it all better
I loved the movie. I went to the midnight premiere but I think I gotta watch it at least once more in theatres to really take every detail in while im fully awake. But overall I think this was a better movie than TDK, not taking anything away from that film. I just feel that this was a more complete film than that one. I think the Joker just carried that film while this one was carried by the entire cast...from Batman to Bane to Catwoman/Selina Kyle to Alfred. Michael Caine did a damn good job as Alfred, and actually made me feel sad about what was going on between him and Bruce, that was awesome. I love the way Nolan handled Bane, the guy was just a straight up beast and an asskicker.

Did anyone think that when they showed Alfred at the end and he was looking at something that it was going to fade to black and the credits and leaving it like Inception where you didn't know what to think? I thought that it was going to make you think that he was looking at Bruce Wayne but wasn't going to show it. I was wrong and I'm glad. It would have sucked if you didn't see Bruce Wayne at that table.
Best line of the movie..."I'M SUCKING YOUR TOES."
I was just thinking that this thread could use some unfunny, try-hard posts by cantthinkofanything. Thanks for that.
Oh...good...another redzero sucker cameo
I saw it again.
Coming away from it a second time, I think it is the best in the trilogy. Though I think there are some things I would have liked to see in it (more of an effort on the part of the military to save Gotham) and some things taken out (Batman utilizing the dark and stealth more instead of just going Chuck Norris on bad guys while they point their guns to the ground, as well as the overdone thing where Batman is a parapalegic and seconds later he's climbing on roof tops after putting on a brace that I could probably buy at Walmart), I think on first viewing I didn't give credit where credit is due, and that's pretty much everything else about the movie.
They way I rank the series:
1. TDKR
2. BB
3. TDK
TDK definitely last place for me too.
I really wanted a freeze frame to end it when Bruce and Selena were at the cafe enjoying themselves.
Now that I think about it, the freeze frame thing might have been too corny.
Only thing I didn't like was how Bane was this ultra intimidating supervillain for 2 and a half hours then suddenly he's just Talia's stooge and gets taken out in an instant. One of the best villains I've ever seen in a movie deserved a better ending than that.
8.5/10
Just got back from the 2nd viewing. Liked it better this time around. Definitely don't get anything of what Mono is talking about. For one, she tells Bane not to kill Batman. What does he do the moment she leaves? Tries to kill Batman.
The pacing of the film is outstanding which is one reason its so good for a nearly 3 hour long film. Score is great as well (again).
more thoughts..Talia Al Ghul was completely pointless and her role in the end only annoyed me, and I felt, took away from Bane. Her presence only served to prop up a half baked love triangle between Bruce, her, and Catwoman that didn't really need to be there and when they explained her backstory, I got pissed. yes, I know Talia is Ra's Al Ghul's daughter in all other batman media. That is all well and good, but when you build up Bane as a guy that A) Was born and raised in & fought his way out of The Pit and B) The Son of Ra's Al Ghul & was so twisted that not even his anarchistic father wanted anything to do with him, and then to reveal at the very end that he's pretty much just a lackey was VERY annoying. they took someone who was an uninteresting character all the way through the movie, and made her the main bad guy right at the tail end in a twist that was so obvious I was praying for it not to happen, and it was done at the expense of the main villain. And then right after that happens, Bane gets killed like a punk and then Talia dies like 3 minutes later. So what was the point of her? What was the point of that lame twist? Why couldn't Bane just be Ra's demented fallen son? I would have gone with it! Its not like the comics, but I would have gone with that over the Talia angle they shoehorned in at the end.
I like what you've said in your last 2 posts except for Bane's death. It was fine to me. He has Batman where he wants him and makes it known he's about to kill him and then boom! Batman's future wife/gf/significant-other saves him in her first noble outing
I saw it for the 1st time last night and I have to say I was pretty impressed. Going into the theaters, I didn't think it would top TDK, but once I left I'd easily put it first with BB at third. Just like Avengers though, I'm not going to watch it a second time. Instead I'll just wait for the blu-ray and get my money's worth from that.
My only true con from the movie was the contrast between that and the comics (mainly pointing at John Blake/Robin character), but Nolan did a great job overturning that and making the movie compelling.

Nice spoiler alert you chode
How does Tate being evil prop up a love triangle? One would think that it would do the exact opposite.
Redzero has been pretty spot on with how I feel about the film. I want to see it again before I start to analyze it too much though, because I feel like I usually miss so many little details the first time around.
The point of making this thread was to avoid having to use that gay spoiler alert . I figured people would pick up on that. Sorry, dude.Nice spoiler alert you chode
Was that before or after Bane cried as she was telling Batman about his love for her?
Bane was just ing awesome & his cunning was on par with the Joker's from the previous film but he had the strength to match his smarts, which made him the perfect villain.
I agree tho Bane shoulda had a better death/ending then that.
Liked it better than the dark knight. Bane was awesome, but it was stupid not having him as the master mind.
Also unnecessary inclusion of Robin was dumb.
Didn't like the way Bane died either.
Bane's voice reminded me if a more sinister version of Seth Mcfarlane in boy 2.
Overall great movie,
I high fived a lot of people after it was over
