We all know the movie made a killing.

DrowningLessons: The worst part of this whole tragedy is that The Dark Knight Rises was just not a very good film.

I know I'd feel better being murdered during a screening of Rashomon.

Bane sounds like Connery from The Untouchables.

You can even imagine Bane saying, "You want to know how to get the Batman? He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Gotham way."

"When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die"

/That's all I could think about the whole movie...Sheogorath or Connery.

WTF? Not reporting financial news because of a tragedy. Strange days.

skinink: NeoCortex42: Darth_Lukecash: As for ejection: once the auto pilot was revealed, Batman obviously escaped cause head the Goddamn Batman.

The only problem I have with this, is that the film seemed to keep cutting back to him in the cockpit right up until the explosion. I don't know if a second viewing will make it clear that the cockpit was already ejected or something.

I'd laugh if, at the end when Alfred looked over there at the table, he then looked down at his own table and saw Cobb's spinning totem. Then as the totem starts to look like it's wobbling to fall, the screen cuts to black.

What's funny is that since this movie was making 300-400 million no matter what, Nolan could have gotten away with it and still gotten carte blanche on his next film.

MurphyMurphy: BalugaJoe: Batman hid the refrigerator when the nuke went off.

Where did he hide it?

In his utility belt, where else?

MattyFridays: Here's a part that bothers me:

When Bruce is explaining to Blake about why the mask - he said the idea was "anyone could be Batman".

Yet in TDK, he's pissed that people are putting on masks and being Batman.

Just because he thinks someone else could be Batman doesn't mean he encourages your cousin with Down's syndrome to put on a costume and try to fight crime.

Kyro: Some of you people are holding a Batman movie to far too high of a standard.

You do know he's a fictional superhero that fights crime with throwing stars right?

basically this

Aside from the people that ask questions because they just didn't watch the movie close enough to know the answer (which is cool), the rest are just being edgy and cool by not either not liking or poking holes in what really was a great way to cap off the trilogy.

All movies have these flaws. So why do people even watch them to begin with if little idiosyncrasies bother them so damn much? Because their attitudes are the same across a variety of topics, it's how they live. Everything falls short of their expectations and they are so edgy for pointing it out and pissing on other ppls parade.

Besides, you don't understand. These people liked movies back before they were cool, and they know lots of perfect movies with no flaws or idiosyncrasies (you just never heard of them).

best part of the movie for me? Not yelling out "Teal'c! Buddy!" the moment i saw him on the screen.

Cillian Murphy should be Nolan's Bruce Campbell. Have him show up in every single movie in some form or other. I'm convinced he shot some scenes for Prestige, but they got cut out, like Bruce and Quick and the Dead.

No, the worst part is that 12 people DIED and 50+ were wounded, asshole.

NeoCortex42: skinink: I was surprised there was no security/bag check at the entrance.

I've been seeing news reports of some theaters increasing security and doing bag checks. What the hell is the point? It's not like this guy bought a ticket and sneaked in with weapons. He came in through the fire door to the outside.

Here's all the extra security you need: don't leave the fire doors unlocked from the outside. All they need is panic bars on the inside.

Finally an excuse to confiscate all our drinks and snacks without an revolution against the Concession Cartel.

Let's face it, you'd stop going to the movies if you couldn't sneak in some candy or a bottle of water, and they were jackboot thug about it.

I Have a feeling the eyewitness reports later when they're trying to find the culprit would sadly be more contradictory.

strutin: spammuncher:
It's a really good movie, the best in the trilogy.

i'll give you a 4/10... that's definately a good flick of the wrist cast, (it caught me..)

but I hated it for all the reasons Harry writes about here..

tl:dr?

"At least if you know the kind of stories and action that are inherent to this property. I found the film to be, essentially a mess. I expected a lot more out of this. A lot more. I found it to feel exactly like what happens when someone that thinks they're better than the source material gets a hold of something and just is in the process of washing their hands with it. "

If you're going to quote Harry Knowles then you just proved your opinion is valueless...

How is Bruce able to scale the walls of the prison pit, when earlier in the film, he could barely walk without the aid of a cane or his super knee brace?}

DubyaHater: During the witness interviews, anybody ask for a candid review of the movie? I'd like to know if TDKR is worth seeing.

I'll give it a shot. I hear it is to die for.

Rapmaster2000: It was also probably really stupid. It is a superhero movie.

A Midsummer Night's Dream was a stupid play. It's about fairies.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a stupid book, it's just about a submarine and a giant squid.

Beowulf is a stupid myth, it's about an iron age superhero.

Or maybe you're irrationally full of it and want to pretend that lacking imagination is the same thing as "maturity".

DamnYankees: Pardon my french, but this is dumb as hell. What the hell is the connection between these two things?

Well, obviously, the nutjob shot up the theater because he was afraid that Dark Knight was going to gross higher than Avengers, or something.

I love how the author just couldn't resist slipping a prediction of DKR's weekend gross into the last sentence.
