So you've seen the full movie? You surely wouldn't be judging every line of dialogue off of a small trailer, would you?

Why would I need to when the dialogue is already bad. TDK had some of the worst, most on-the-nose dialogue in a highly praised movie ever. Holy shit was it bad. I was stunned by the very first scene with Dent in court. I asked myself "Are these real human beings?". At least between monologues characters kinda sounded like real people in Begins. Just kinda though.
 
I literally laugh at such criticism, I really do. I can't think of any superhero movies better than Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Criticising the dialogue is just stupid. No they're not real people whoever wondered that. They're fucking characters in a movie about a man who dresses as a bat and makes my homoerotic fantasies come true.

Hell yea. I remember my friend having a VCD bootleg during that time that I watched over and over. Think it was around 8 or 9 times before it came out on DVD. Probably my favorite movie ever at that time.

But I digress. I will be watching MI4 in a true IMAX on Saturday. I hope the lines are ridiculous because of Batman.
 
Personally, I love the direction Nolan has taken Bane in this film. I understod him fine in the leaked prologue and trailer. After reading the supposed spoilers around his character his role as the final villain of the "Dark Knight Legend" is a very good choice. To me he feels like someone who could be the end of Batman in this version of his character. Seeing and hearing him now it's the first time I've truly felt some type of fear towards what an enemy posed for the "good" characters in any of the Batman movies. I truly can't wait for this movie.

I really like how Bane looks in TDKR. He doesn't look cartoonish at all.

It's not too bad. But I still say it looks like his costume from ST:Nemesis morphed into the apparatus on his face:

Like you I was forced to learn there are those without decency who must be fought without hesitation. Without pity.

One of my favorite scenes. The combo of Neeson + the visuals + a perfect JNH cue = greatness.
 
I heard that 'joker noise' building up through parts of the trailer. God I wish he was in it. I guess that whirring sound meant chaos was coming then, as opposed to the joker himself.

Aren't you the guy who thought Speed Racer was going to be significantly better than The Dark Knight?

I don't recall saying that.

But it was, so kudos to me if I called that.

Wait, did Solo seriously just said that Speed Racer is better than TDK?

Solo said:
Yes.

1. S-M2
2. BB

3. to Infinity. I don't give a fuck.

Those are the only two I unconditionally love, warts and all. Hoping TDKR will join that company.

Man, I just learned today that I completely agree with Solo on superhero films. I came into summer 2008 more hyped for TDK than any movie ever, but Speed Racer blew me away. I still enjoyed TDK, but I prefer BB, and Spider-man 2 is still tops.

Also, I asked this before, but didn't get a response. As far as Selina's quote from the trailer goes, does anyone else think she knows Bruce's identity at this point, and is playing with him? When I first read it out of the context of the trailer, I felt like she was talking to Batman, not Bruce.

Meh, people have senselessly trolled Nolan threads in the past, and they've done it better than you. Sorry man.

Someone never saw The Blind Side
 
another *brofist* to you, good sir.

And come on, guys. No need to crucify a guy for criticizing the script. It, along with the action sequences, are the easiest and most valid things to be critical about in TDK. I think even the biggest fans of the movie can surely see that.
 
So I've been listening to Zimmer's Inception score a lot recently. I've really come around on it. Originally, I thought only Time and Mombasa were good and pretty much threw the rest in the gutter. Well, I was wrong there. Its an incredible work, easily one of Zimmer's best. Great from start to finish. I hope he can infuse TDKR with some of its feel.

I think the score deserved a better movie though :P

I just don't understand what people expect. He picks cheesy lines of dialogue that I will admit are cheesy. But then he may love Spider-Man 2; another great film but with lots of cheesy dialogue. Same with X-Men 2, or the original Superman, or even Batman Begins. If you're looking at isolated incidents then I could find anything in anything.

And Speed Racer, I massively enjoyed the actual race scenes but found everything else outside that turgid. However, I understand that it had a target audience and the script didn't need to be as well written as a David fucking Mamet play for people to like it.

I like all of the soundtrack but for me the 3 stand outs are time, mombasa and dream is collapsing. Definitely one of my favourite soundtracks and i listen to it all the time.

Guess i'm gonna have to disagree with you there though :P.

Sure, you can just pick out cheesy dialogue (which as you correctly stated, all the above movies have). But outside of that, TDK's script is incredibly on-the-nose, hammering you over the head time and again with the themes, and it has some very poorly conceived and written scenes like the ferry scene. So its not like its only dialogue that has some issues.
