DO NOT READ THIS THREAD IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM AS IT WILL HAVE SPOILERS. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU. So I'm guessing people have been to see it now. I have seen it twice at IMAX and I wanted to get people's views on the film. What did you like and what didn't you like? Overall I would have to give the film 9.5/10 - The only reason I am giving it a 10/10 is for 2 little reason's, I didn;t like the fact that it didn't give Bane a proper death and I didn't like the fact that Alfred just sort of vanished of the scene before all the ending kicked off. Apart from that the film was a masterpiece, my favourite scene was the fight between Batman and Bane about half way through the film, Bane absolutely kicked the SH IT out of Batman in that scene which was a big shock the 1st time I saw the film. My favourite character was Bane, I have never felt intimidated by someone in a film before but Bane was such a physical and mental presence in the film. The ending wasn't predictable, I didn't expect the film to be about the story in Batman Begins with all the Raz Agul wanting to destroy Gotham. The film had action, emotion and most importantly a fantastic story line which all add's up to a fantastic film overall. Please leave a rating out of /10 and the best and worst thing you thought of the film. be as detailed as you like and I will read with interest. Thanks. -------------

perfect ending to an amazing series, although it could be continued, im sure there is not a man brave enough to even try and continue what Nolan has done The last fist fight with Bane and Batman near the end of the film was insane, once Batman starts to damage Banes mask, Bane knows hes in trouble and throws fu*king Bombs in defense until Batman finally takes the dude down, was pretty awesome to see Fav scene is when Gorden refuses to take the exile by walking on the ice, and scarecrow sentence's to "death....by exile" made me lol ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnAYGqjcGEE&feature=youtu.be Watch in 720P....duh |

I'm giving it a 8 out of 10. But, I like B Begings more than TDK. I will say TDKR was my favorite of the three. Besides huge plot holes, I really enjoyed it. I liked Bane more than Joker too. TDK just had too many subpar actors that gave it a cheap feel. ------------- Pepsi puppies get more puppy pussy. |

I didn't like the Bane/Talia twist. Saying Bane was soo extreme the League of Shadows kicked him out, then when the reveal comes out it cheapens his character. I didn't like that Blake of all people is first to figure out Batmang is Wayne. Didn't like the CIA brought on board a plane 2 or 3 guys with bags over their heads. Didn't like the GCPD sent 99.98% of the police force into the tunnels. Didn't like no explination or closure to Banes death, and Batman didn't kill him. Didn't like howWayne got back from a different (eastern asian) prison with no explination...after 5 months from a back injury, outa a stupidly designed prison. Loved Bane, loved Ras aul Ghul's ghost return, loved Bats, loved Lucious, loved the ending. Good trilogy ender to a good franchise. Also, Nolans recycling of characters kinda cheapens the movie too, I was expecting Leo DiCap to show up...

@Rican That scene, that last fight between Batman and Bane was actually my facourite scene. The intensity was amazing, I loved when Batman ducked, Bain hit the pillar, and then out of aggression he hits hit again. Also when Batman kicks Bane full force through the glass door, damn. It was played perfectly, the suspense and intensity was so damn high there.
@ Phant, hell yeah his voice was amazing. (I took a 50 min drive in order to see the movie in English instead of stupid german sync.) At first it was a surprise, since his voice kinda sounds like an old man there, but I got adapted to it really quick and it was simply perfect. Also one of my favourite scenes is when Bane enters the stadium. Already during the anthem, it was like "Damn, shi.ts about to go DOWN". But the whole scene in the stadium was genious. And Banes speech in front of the prison was also amazing.. I'll give it a 9.4/10 Downsides where mainly what Lunchy said, I agree with the lack of closure to Banes death and the "99.98%" of all police force being sent into the tunnels ;o Apart from that, it was perfect to me. One of the best movies I've seen in a long while. I had really high expectations to it, and I was well satisfied by it.

Biggest LOL was when Bruce magically appeared in Gotham after escaping the prison. Them fight scenes> But like the comics Bane is the only one to ever, "brake the bat" I was also mad the policeman who wimped out and finally grew balls would later die. ------------- |

9/10 for me another LOL moment was when that dude was like "im in charge" to bane and bane gently puts his hand on the dudes shoulder and was like "...do u feel in charge??"

Also, if they cut about 35 minutes of fat of the movie, it would have been better. ORRR, it could have been 2 movies labled The Dark Knight Falls (Ends when Bane puts him in the hole, and The 4th film would have been TDKR, giving Bat time to heal, and for Blake to figure out Bat was Wayne, giving Gotham time to fall into chaos. Hmmm, I might have something there. Of course the two movies would have to be modified, extra actual Batman stuff. ------------- Pepsi puppies get more puppy pussy. |

Yeah, one Year between Wayne in the hole in the movie, and in actual time. So shortly after TDKF comes out on DVD, TDKR comes out in theaters. Actually, I'm kinda bummed this isn't how it happened. ------------- Pepsi puppies get more puppy pussy. |

Ive finally seen the film and id give it 9/10 for sheer entertainment. The action is superb - i really want a bat mobile lol - Bane is a great nemesis but Catwoman steals it for me she has the best lines. Is it better than TDK? For me no, the riddler was always my fave villian and Heath Ledger's performance > all. Anyway its pretty close, you dont get many sequels that deliver the quality of TDKR but its been a few years since i watched BB and I found myself trying to piece things together for a while. I didnt like the jump scene to a prison in Asia and the escape to GC, it didnt make sense how he got there and back and in 23 days or whatever! The police force being trapped was lame but the charge against the anarchists (running with batans drawn against amoured vehicles and automatic weapons) were worse. Also not beating Bane on a 1 to 1 and him dying like that was poor too. Natasha's exit was weak she should have fought catwoman in a catfight perhaps. In all its the best superhero franchise going imo and the themes of heroes vs villians, priviliged v underpriveliged of being fearless < fearful of death is a better motivator for living was nicely played. Well worth seeing! ------------- Cos I'm Wonderman...I'll take that knife and shove it up your a$$! |

Where is the big tsunami that should have hit the city after the nuke exploded? And how in 15 sec did the bat wing fly away from the city? Come on? And I just HATE how they say “Robin” I was like really? They could have said d*** or his other names instead of his hero name. and how and the world did it take 7-8 years until his leg healed up but only took a few days so his back can be recovered ? but other than that it was a 8/10 I loved the movie Bane voice was off da chain. -------------  Me and Penguins about to go HAAAAAM!!

THAT WAS THE THING I FORGOT!!! I really was upset with the whole nuke not destroying the city even tho it could not have gone further then like 2, 3 miles tops, pretty upsetting! Still an amazing film considering, following TDK is no easy task. TDKR>The Avengers>The Amazing Spiderman all really good movies tho ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnAYGqjcGEE&feature=youtu.be Watch in 720P....duh |

When the USA was testing nukes in the ocean, you never heard of tsunamis killing people lol. And lunchy, Are you not entertained? That scene is one of the most epic scenes ever. I love Gladiator. And still Bane's voice> @trin... Technically batman beat Bane 1v1 after raping his mask. He would have finished him or let him go until his part time lover stabbed him. ------------- |

| I don't know if you guys ever read any of the Batman comics or know the history of the Character Robin. But to give you a little history. There have been now 4 characters that have been Batman's sidekick. And I think the movie did a good job of combining the 3 of them to make a their own version. The first being d*** Grayson who most people are familiar with. He was Robin I believe until the early early 80's. And was fired when he was shot by the Joker and soon let go by Bats because he felt he could not put a child's life in danger any longer. Now at this point he had also been a member of the Teen Titans were he then became the leader and eventually became Night Wing. Then he eventually moved to his own City BludHaven and even became a cop...Thats were the movie got the idea to make their version a Police officer. The second was Jason Todd a orphan growing up on the streets of Gotham in the area of crime alley. One of his origin stories even had Batman find him lifting tires off the Batmobile. Bats takes a liking to him after a few run ins as Batman and Bruce Wayne. After learning the boy's parents were murdered similar to his own. Bruce Wayne takes him as his ward and makes him Robin after he discovers he's Batman. Now I'm not sure how long this character was around but I know he was murdered by the Joker in the late 80's because he was reckless. And his death was actually decided by the fans in the series " Death in the family" And I believe the results were lop sided. Now the third Robin is very close to the character in the movie because he too figured out who Batman was. Tm Drake was a young rich kid who was a huge fan of Batman and Robin and actually witnessed the event were d***'s Parents were killed at the circus. So after years and years of doing his own detective work he confronts Bruce Wayne with his discovery and actually saves his life. At first Batman did not want a new sidekick especially after Jayson's death who he eventually adopted before he died. But after Tim's parents are in a plane crash the death of his mother at the hands of some Voodoo villian. Batman decides to send him off to train with a group similar to the League of Shadows. As far as the fourth goes I just know some how he is the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia Algule..Thius must have been after I stopped reading...Sorry for the Fanboy geek session...Just wanted to point out the amalgamation of three of the comic characters made up the movie version Blake. Who I thought made sense because of Nolan's way of making the series believable. |

There are plenty of things wrong with TDK, none of which i would say take away from the fact its a classic and one of the best super hero movies of all time. It set the trend of making comic movies more real, darker and grittier, Examples. X-men 1st Class, Amazing Spider-man and the upcoming Man Of Steel Plenty of Things wrong with the movie, like the bank robbery in the beginning, it looked cool and was a great intro for the joker and the movie itself, but if u think about it, its pretty dumb. Still a 10/10 tho ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnAYGqjcGEE&feature=youtu.be Watch in 720P....duh |

Well, were to start!? The bank scene where Joker is introduced; the 'henchmen' all sound like idiots. They (in broad daylight) pickup Joker without his mask on (no one notices). The banker gets a smoke bomb (un-benounced to him) in his mouth, never thinks to throw it!?!? No one sees the YELLOW school bus hanging out of the bank!?!? The bus then proceeds to exit the bank with a nice conveiniant gap between the other school busses, and the other drivers think of calling it in? We are now roughly 10 minutes into the movie. An almost full cast of sub-par actors; the bank clowns, pretty much all mob guys, Michael Jai White, a new Rachel played by a worse and uglier actress, Harvey's actor was pretty sub-par. The scene where Bruce holds a benefit for Dent, after Joker tosses Rachel out the window....nothing happens to the party goers. ------------- Pepsi puppies get more puppy pussy. |

The flight to get Loas from China, like the Chineses wouldn't see the commercial liner trying to fly under radar, or Norad not seeing it! The transport convoy of Dent (who said he was Batman) see a FIRETRUCK on FIRE and think it's okay to go onto lower fifth where they would be sitting ducks ( according to a lowely cop) and not expect an ambush. After Joker starts attacking the convoy, Nolan makes several mistakes of using incoherent camera angles that are deemed by cinematographers as a sin; (i.e.) showing the convoy going from left to right and right to left, and as such Dents position in the truck keeps switching from his back being behind the drivers, to the passangers side. More issues, the boats and hospitals explosives not being seen by anyone!? Sorry, hospitals are open 24/7, and ferries have preliminary check, above and below everytime they dis-embark. ------------- Pepsi puppies get more puppy pussy. |

And last, but not ALL (been awhile since I seen it) my favorite, where Joker bust outta MCU with a bomb, in a guys stomach, from 35 feet, that kills, or incapacitates, every one on screen, except the Joker. I'll give it another watch and come back with more... ------------- Pepsi puppies get more puppy pussy. |
