The video seems to be broken. :-/
I'm watching it now, but I stopper right when the review started. Still waiting to hear if it's spoilery at all.

Yeah, they both seemed pleased with it. The review was basically all positive, with some notes about the movie's potential issues. Jay liked it way more than he thought he would.Can't watch it until I get home later this week. It sounds like they enjoyed it?
Ha, they shit on TAS some more in this one? Now I really can't wait to watch it, that movie deserves beatings for years and years to come.Yeah, they both seemed pleased with it.

I love how they used this review to shit on The Amazing Spider Man some more.
They are way to lenient on the movie and excuse away it's flaws with the few things it does right, and some of the stuff they praise it for is ridiculous. Catwoman is brilliant ala Ledger's Joker? the character who is never explored.

They never said that.
Do not agree about the ending, I thought that was huge pile of horseshit given the Batman mythos.
Well if you want to compare it to the Batman built by comic books and stuff, whatever. The ending worked perfectly within Nolan's universe. I thought it was really, really great.
I do and indeed I think it a betrayal of the character.
I will say that the best review of The Dark Knight Rises I have personally seen is the one done by The Cinema Snob and his wife. (Spoilers)

This isn't the comics, this is Bruce Wayne as written by Christopher Nolan. For the arc established in Batman Begins it's perfect.
How?
I thought the movie covered this with his. Then the point of the entire second half of the movie is him finally overcoming and rising out of the dark abyss he'd been in for so long. I kind of wonder if you missed that part of the story, or if you simply can't get it out of your head that Bruce Wayne will forever be Batman.8 years of being a recluse, unable to move on not because he was heartbroken over Rachael's death, but because he was unable to break his bonds with the Bat
I have trouble watching a review recorded in the car with the wife at 3:00 AM right after a midnight showing and thinking "yeah, he has thought this through". This is a grumpy first impressions from a tired person, not a pensive, fair review of a film.

The deaths Bruce needs to get over are his parents, they just kind of forgot that point. Yea, so, I am not going to see that ending as anything other then badly-handled horseshit
He was able to get over his guilt from his parents death in the first film...
Also, as somebody else has pointed out, it is not just Rachael's death he needed to get over. The deaths Bruce needs to get over are his parents, they just kind of forgot that point. Yea, so, I am not going to see that ending as anything other then badly-handled horseshit.
I like that hilarious reviews are an exception with them, though. This is a format that works great for them, I think: they have a chance to write funny skits, and they can be serious about what works/doesn't work in these movies because they know their shit. I wasn't really captivated with tdkr like I was the last movie, but all their points were so spot-on.I really enjoyed the review. It's not as hilarious as a Jack and Jill review, but it's even headed, talks about what works and what doesn't, and points out plot holes but is mature enough to identify that they don't matter as much, if at all.
I need it explained to me that the ending was bad? The ending was excellent. Why would I want to listen to some chumps essay on why he thinks its bad?Right, a rather good review, I do agree with a lot of points, the emotional core being more important then technical flaws and plotholes, even the greatest movies have these. Do not agree about the ending, I thought that was huge pile of horseshit given the Batman mythos. Also, Anne was okay acting wise but her character was so fucking pointless.

Also, in order to really understand why the TDKR has a not so good ending I recommend this video.
