Also saw The Dark Knight Rises, I was disapointed because it didn't really feel like a Nolan Batman to me. It didn't have those genuinely moving character study moments, never really got me invested until Bane's sad story was explained. But then Anne Hathaway proved as a scapegoat and went for a humorous villain defeat like The Avengers.
TKDR 10/10 for me too!
Just saw it tonight. It's sooooo good. Just proves me right that the critics were full of it.
Roger Ebert also gave The Raid (one of the best films of the year imo that most critics loved), one star. And he gave Speed 2 three stars. The guy seems insane some times, although to be fair he did give the other 2 Nolan Batman films 4/4.
TDKR is now my favourite Batman film.
I just didn't get many laughs out of it. If Ayoade wasn't talking, then it wasn't hilarious to me. He made the funny scenes happen, and I'm upset I haven't seen him in anything else before.
Fine conclusion to the trilogy. For me - not as "epic" as other have reviewed. Too many "say what?!?"- elements and things I found weird/lacking, like the police acting like The Keystone cops
He's done a few UK TV shows but is probably most famous for a show called The IT crowd. I think he's mates with Ben Stiller and that's why he was in this. I hope this launches a good film career for him because he deserves it.
8 / 10
in comparison.. Batman Begins - 8.5 / 10 ... The Dark Knight - 9 / 10
I thought this 3rd Nolan Batman movie was good, but I just don't think it was as good as 'Begins or TDK imo... i thought it's story was a little scattered, and included too many unnecessary characters..
while still a very good movie, i felt like it was Nolan's weakest.
This is oddly exactly the marks and review that I would have given the three Batman films - I enjoyed The Dark Knight Rises - but it was certainly the weakest of the series.
TDKR- 10/10
TDK/BB (tie)- 8.5/10
TDKR was just much more exciting than the other two for me, and it had a bit more humour to it as well as plenty of darkness and seriousness. I also preferred the story to the other two. TDK had the best villian though, and BB had the best action scenes.
@thelivingroyale you are spot on.
It felt more like an action movie than a superhero movie, which was cool. My only complaint was that they had to up the ante from the last movie to make it seem like more of a climax. If Bane's plans had happened, there would definitely have been more damage than the Joker's. I feel like they depended on that too much.
The way they referenced BATMAN BEGINS and the way that Wayne had to do the classic "hero's journey" and find his way back. The twist which showed who was really behind all the shytt and seeing our old pal, Scarecrow was a cute touch.
It is probably the most violent of the Batman Trilogy but still enjoyable. I did enjoy The Dark Knight but just liked the first and third films better.
That all being said, I prefer The Dark Knight (and still think TDK is the best Nolan Batman film). TDKR, for some reason, didn't have that 'magical factor' I felt while watching TDK...I can't really explain it. Still, all of the Nolan Batman films were great.
1. The Dark Knight - 10/10
2. The Dark Knight Rises - 8/10
3. Batman Begins - 8/10
Edit: I also saw The Amazing Spider-Man and was throughly disappointed. The first two Tobey Maguire films weren't perfect either, but far above this most recent effort.
It's been getting some terrible/mediocre reviews, but somehow, I loved it? I don't know if it was a mixture of being slightly tired and having myself a Mojito, but I had a fantastic time with the movie. I plan on impulse purchasing it come blu-ray release, so I hope it really was as good as I recall when I shell out the money for a home video version of it.
But, the reviews seem to be a comparison of this one to the Schwarzenegger original, which I haven't seen in a very, very long time, so that could be why it's not as praised.
8/10
This movie lacked most that made TDK a good movie. And the ending was really a waste of celluloid.
Looking forward to the Bourne legacy
I had no idea how Nolan would top the Batman film this one was following but he did. The first fight between Batman and Bane along with the climax to the bomb exploding were the high points along with Robin being made competent. This one deserves the 10 out of 10 pints of Ruddles I'm giving it.
You may want to put a spoiler tag on that.
Sweet name, by the way. 'Total Recall,' correct? See the new one?
