Ironically, it's posts like that though which actually eggs on "Nolan Haters."

The only thing you liked was one of the most obnoxious scores of recent memory? Good God! You must hate it!

Such craft. Beautifully staged, emotionally acted, top notch CGI.

+1 Holy **** that score was overbearing.

Just read the IMDB fact page.

Good because it's the exact same thing that the haters are doing with their posts

Well, at least TDKR wasn't as repulsive and headache inducing like MoS (PoS).

Yes those but also scenes like when he returns to Gotham. He spends months doing push-ups fixing his broken back. We will leave that one alone. Gets out of the prison and magically transports back to Gotham. Ok he is Bruce Wayne I can buy he could get passage home. He ten shows up right when Gordon and company are being put out on the ice. Ok it's a movie these things have to happen. Then they light the gas to expose the giant ass Bat symbol. So while the city you love more than your own life is in dire need of your help and you went through so much to get back, the first thing you do is spend countless hours wasting precious time drawing a batsymbol in gas? There is a point where the idiocy is just too much.

For an example.

I actually went into The Dark Knight Rises expecting to hate it (I despise The Dark Knight) and came out pleasantly surprised. I still don't think it's a great film, but aside from Bane being unintentionally hilarious and Selina being a bore, not a great deal bothered me. However, I haven't seen it since the day of its cinema release and I do wonder if a re-watch would open my eyes to some of its other flaws. I loved The Dark Knight at one point and it was only with repeat viewings did it start to infuriate me.

You can just feel all the aggression and trauma that the sharknado has caused being taken out on that shark.

Is anything?

I know some people are tired of hearing criticisms of Bane's voice but... it's honestly just as campy as anything in the 60s TV show. And if you think about it, unintentional camp is a lot funnier in a Nolan Bat-Movie than a Schumacher Bat-Movie.

Frustrates me that it can't even be considered for the Oscars..

Good Point.

Here's another UO:

Dawn of the Dead aside, any Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich flick is better than any Zack Snyder film.

But he needed to show the people of Gotham that the Batman has returned, and reaffirms the message that Batman is a symbol.
And he is THE BATMAN, he could have done that in a few minutes

You can call it idocy, and I don't have a problem with that really. I personally loved that scene.

Tara Reid = comeback story of the year.



TDKR + and -'s

+ The opening scene is incredible
+ Tom Hardy
+ I liked Hathaway as Catwoman
+ Batman vs. Bane (despite the absurdity that follows)

- Everything Else
- The use of the word hothead

I disliked everything you put in the + column, lol

Hey guys, are we really debating TDKR? It was discussed to death last year!

If you want to show people of Gotham your back, show up and kick some ass. I'm sorry, no one could have done that in a few minutes. Well, maye Superman or The Flash.

No Batman movie will ever be discussed to death on the Internet. NEVER!

Speaking of which, anybody else hate the whole 'Batman is a symbol' message that the trilogy tried to cram down our throats? I think it makes Bruce Wayne less impressive when we're led to believe just anybody could be Batman. Was I supposed to believe that Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be a suitable replacement? Please. I thought he was miscast the minute I saw on-set photos of him in police uniform and his performance didn't change my mind.

I don't know, Revenge of the Fallen is pretty god awful. I can't decide between ROTF or MOS.
