I love the shot of Bane punching Batman several times before punching a concrete pillar. Fuck, he's pissed.

The entire sewer fight is amazing. As is the fight on the steps of the City Hall.

Yeah, I love it.
 
What is the reason he is throwing a second punch into the pillar when Batman is not even in the way? Damn you Nolan and your shit fight choreography. Make it at least Batman was still in front of Bane dodging the punches

This is going overboard now. Yeah, it could be flubbed choreography, or it could just be tha Bane is angry and the choreography reflects that.

Batman made him rage out when he knocked some of the tubes out of place on his mask. It was either due to that or due to the first whiffed punch missing Batman's face. Either way, I'd pin it on raging out and turning in to a violent animal. I think it works IMO.
 
It's just the timing and reaction of the first punch leading to the second punch to the pillar is just slow imo. I understood that Bane was raging but it's the damn fight choreography after repeatedly watching it, is nitpicking me at the moment.
 
Man the score just isn't the same at home, no matter how good the system is.
Batman's first appearance specifically, just didn't have the WOW it did in theaters.
 
I fell asleep twice trying to watch this.

So did I, and when I woke up, Catwoman was chasing a nuclear bomb around Gotham and Batman was avoiding heat-seeking missiles.

What happened to the sort-of-realistic world Nolan built up in the first two movies?

For fucks sake

Bane is just pissed that Batz fucked his mask up and gets into rage mode. Do you guys have to over-analyze every single scene?

Some of you need to get into a emotional street brawl

What? Those things exist?

Reminds of Heath spilling his champagne.

Fucking Nolan and his glass choreography.
 
Yeah, TV viewing ftl. I need to get rich and make my own hench cinema. Then I can enjoy films again.

tell me about it, one of my local indie cinemas has actually changed its name to "nolan house" and it has always at least one screen dedicated to showing nolan films at all times. last night they showed insomnia and it was fully sold out, when the film ended i could hear people talking about how well thought out the plot twists were and how well acted it was with robin williams.
 
Shane Black gonna give us the real character pathos.

Man fuck this PG13 bullshit. Tony needs to start smoking in IM3. It's just not a Shane Black film otherwise.
 
Which movie contains the better Jeremy Theobald performance? Following or Batman Begins? Speeding, are you ready for this Tuesday?!

Batman Begins had a lot of nuance, but that is crucial in such a small role. Following though, he carries the weight of that thing, you know? He's the lead, the whole thing is anchored by his grand orchestral performance.

I dunno man. I just don't fucking know.
 
Ra's and Joker are on par on the greatness scale and then Harvey and Gordon.

Banee.. not so much. Lotsa swag but I felt more character out of Barsad, who really was the star of TDKR IMO.

this is now a Barsad appreciation page.

I like his first scene in the beginning. His demeanor is so calm. :)

Remember when Sculli hyping the return of Peter Jackson?

Fat...skinny...he will always suck now.
 
PJ bloat in Lotr extended editions was just fine with me. King Kong bloat is not fine, though. :(

PJ in Lucas mode doesn't excite me either. Movie looks really CG heavy and not terribly interesting.
 
I fell asleep twice trying to watch this.

Same. Watched it for the 1st time last night. I was a bit tired, but still, it didn't grip me much at all. Everything felt kind of contrived compared to the 1st two, Anne Hathaway, while hot, doesn't seem to be a very good Catwoman, and I wasn't feeling Bane much, either.

Definitely lacks the spark of Begins and TDK, but I'm going to watch it again today while I can, just to give it a 2nd chance.
