Nolan had months of prep time. He failed.

Thats a great avatar. You need to send me your collection one day, hopefully its fistful-esque!

Not nothing. Yet.

Now, let's not count our ducks before they hatch.

Hindsight Marvel love fucks me right off. Iron Man is good, Avengers is good. Everything else is bad.

 

[Mariolee]

You're in for a bore tonight.

The Nolan Bat films are more than bricks, mortar and prep time, ducky.

 

[duckroll]

Now, let's not count our ducks before they hatch.

The only thing I'm counting is the number of days the Nolan faithful have to live in delusion, before his Gotham turns to ashes.

Come the 23th lets see who will be laughing last.

So you're not counting RT score and box office?

Okay, cool. VICTORY TO THE BAT

 

[Daft_Cat]

Why would anyone bet on something that's inevitable?

Aw, Duckroll =(. Why must it be a competition?

Spoiler

It's winning on Metacritic and has a higher average score on RT!

Batman Begins came out before Iron Man 1.

But 4 movies to build up to TA, so it's not the same

 

[duckroll]

The Joker will be laughing. He always laughs last.

 

[Dany]

All equally uninspired as the avengers.

This is a car.

When The Avenger's box office record is ashes, you have my permission to cry.

Nah, IM1 and Avengers had good things going for it. The others...

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

THIS.

I still wish Nolan had gone with Two- Face as the villain in this one.

Two-Face as a villain in this movie wouldn't have made sense. Doesn't fit his character arc. It's better this way. Plus, it's a much more intriguing three act structure with Batman having to come back after his fall and after a long time and we can wrap up the story.

Nice little thing about a critic that gave the movie a negative review:

http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/marshall-fine-dark-knight-rises-review-interview#.UAXnD59Yum0

"It's not like I dismissed the thing. Certainly I've been tougher on other movies. Go back and read my reviews of the 'Transformers' movies, or 'G.I. Joe,' or a couple of other movies that I really, really hated. This was, I thought, a reasoned disappointed reaction to a movie."

That's how film critic Marshall Fine saw his negative review of "The Dark Knight Rises." The legions of comic book fans on Rotten Tomatoes saw it differently, unleashing their rage in a spew of hateful and even threatening comments and flooding Fine's site, Hollywood and Fine, with so much traffic that they repeatedly crashed its servers. Fine told me he followed the reaction for an hour or so, until he thought "Well what's the next guy going to say that's different than what the last guy said?" and then went on to other things. He only heard about the extreme degree of outrage when a friend passed along my report on the incident. A short while later, we had the following phone conversation about the infamous review and the even-more-infamous response.

Fine's site is back up now ("Rumors of the death of my website have been greatly exaggerated," he chuckled), but the reaction to his and other negative reviews had serious and potentially permanent implications for Rotten Tomatoes; in response to the intensity (and, frankly, insanity) of some of the Bat-fans' comments, the site has temporarily suspended all commenting on "Dark Knight Rises" reviews.

batman returns is on telly now. its the part where she goes crazy and turns into catwoman.

 

[golem]

edit: oh, and James Berardinelli, who loved the first two films and is one of my fave critics, posted his review.

He lost his credibility with me when he gave Savages 3 stars. That movie was fucking terrible.

 

[duckroll]

Nah, IM1 and Avengers had good things going for it. The others...

But Thor has hotter chicks than TDK!

 

[Mariolee]

I will bury you, I haven't buried enough members of the Wayne family.

Shit, Alfred is Bane? Spoiler that please!

You should have it on DVD/bluray!

 

[MrPink93485]

I do not dispute this.

It's also really really funny to me, though I'm not sure if intentional or not. It's just a goofy movie in general.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

You didn't even say what channel. I wanted to see her being LICKED BACK TO LIFE BY RANDOM ARMY OF CATS.

I felt bad for the guy yesterday, but giving interviews is probably a step too far. While I'm sure he didn't like the movie, it sounds like he was probably just being inflammatory for the hits.

After all, he did say this: "None of which will mean anything to the target audience of Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, an audience too young to have been born, let alone old enough to read (or willing to read, for that matter)"

Dick. I mean he's right, but he's still a dick for saying it. Haha.

My Wife?!

Btw, how many people are on semi-blackout? The last trailer I saw for this was probably the second one a few months back. I haven't seen anything else since then.

 

[Expendable.]

From /Filmcast host @davechensky:

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES: Astonishing visuals & set pieces, unbelievable emotional heights. And an absolute disaster in terms of storytelling.

the burmese bandit was bane.

That's all I've seen outside of the hundreds of gifs from different TV spots everybody keeps posting all over the place.

I've seen all the trailers, and thats really it. No behind the scenes/production shit, no TV spots, no prologue.
