The Dark Knight Rises (film)

Seems like more of the same, tho, doesn't it?

Seems like more of the same, tho, doesn't it? That's not necessarily a bad thing is it though considering what we've had before? So, Kelly Brook and you have a marathon down and dirty 'session'. As she leaves, brushing the hair from her flushed face, and still fighting to get her breath back, she say, 'same again next week Ned?' Your reply is, 'Meh?'

I think we can all tell that Neil rather enjoyed it when Kelly Brook started hosting The Big Breakfast back in the day, then...

Seems like more of the same, tho, doesn't it? Yeah, but isn't that what should be expected in the third part of a trilogy being completed by the same crew? If this were different writers/director/etc I would hope for something different, but it's nice to have this continuity and finality in the trilogy, imo. Finally....a coherent series of Batman films.

Seems like more of the same, tho, doesn't it? People say the same about AC/DC and Motorhead, but thats why I love 'em

[AcesandEights]

Finally got around to watching it. Looks pretty good. Didn't realize they added another villain to the film:   Can't shake the feeling that Nolan's Batman films are one big anti-smoking campaign.

People say the same about AC/DC and Motorhead, but thats why I love 'em What was the classic line ZZ Top used about themselves? Same three guys, same three chords.

That's not necessarily a bad thing is it though considering what we've had before? Maybe I should clarify, I wasn't that big of a fan of TDK. It was too long, too dramatic for my tastes. To date, it's my least favorite Nolan film, as I think all his others were really great. I prefer his forays into speculative fiction, rather than his Batman films. TDK was too long, too gray, too dull for my tastes. Hence: "Looks like more of the same.", thus "Meh."

"Chris wants the audience to catch up and participate rather than push everything at them. He doesn't dumb things down." Well, if he respects our intelligence that much, surely he must be aware that we can read subtitles. That way he wont have to alter his artistic vision one bit. It's not like Bane will have that many monologues. As cool as the new imagery is, I still think it's a pity they didn't go for a different 'bad guy'. Batman in full detective mode solving 'riddles' without stuff blowing up every ten minutes or something like that would REALLY have an audience participate more than just watching the lovely fireworks ...

[EvilNed]

I for one think Bane seems to be the coolest thing about this flick. I don't know what people have got against him? Bane seems more like a villain in my style, rather than The Joker, truth be told.

[krisvds]

Got Sherlock for that Hehe. True. Batman = Sherlock + Dracula + Zorro and a pinch of Bond in the Nolanverse.

I for one think Bane seems to be the coolest thing about this flick. I don't know what people have got against him? While Bane does seem cool and definitely rocked the prologue scenes, I'm still more excited to see if Catwoman is finally given the respect she deserves. At this point it seems obvious that Hardy knocked the role of Bane out of the park, so if they can get Catwoman right then this will be one hell of a trilogy. Considering Nolan has correctly portrayed every other character, I have no reason to doubt him at this point. It's going to be interesting to see how he "ends" this trilogy, really. I've seen people speculating between Bruce Wayne dying, "batman" dying and Wayne living on, a new character continuing the legend of batman, etc. There are really a ton of different directions they could take it, but it will definitely be tricky to "end" the series without stepping on toes. Especially when you consider that WB/DC are planning further movies and a JLA with Nolan still on board as producer...
