The Dark Knight Rises Fear or anticipation?

[Rockadood]

Given the recent news, are you excited or fearful about the last film in the trilogy?

In Nolan we trust?

And here.....we......gooo

Anticipation. None of the recent news warrants fear for this film.

 

[Cordoba]

How can you fear for a film when Nolan is at the helm?

[Commodore Schmidlapp]

Because all of his other movies have been soooo terrible. C'mon man. I'm pumped, no wait, super pumped.

 

[RustyCage]

This is a joke thread, right?

'There's nothing to fear but fear itself.'

And here.....we......gooo

 

[Rockadood]

A lot of people seem to be dispairing of the title and the fact that The Riddler won't be appearing.

Some seem to have lost faith in Nolan as a film maker and accuse him of laziness based on the title alone.

Do we have faith that Christopher Nolan will make the best Batman film to his ability? Remember he has no obligation to make this film and has said himself that he would only make a third Batman film if he felt it was needed.

Nolan is making another Batman film Goddammitt!!

Well, those people have about as many brain cells as a shelf.

Mostly anticipation with a touch of fear.

And not because of the title by the way, but because its the third film in the trilogy.

See, that's a more logical reason to be fearful. I am in full anticipation mode. Chris Nolan has yet to let me down.

 

[The Joker]

Anticipation all the way

 

[C. Lee]

You're kidding right?

It's.....a......title.

You don't know the plot. You don't know the villian. What is there to fear?

 

[Cordoba]

I don't understand this alleged fear.

Two reasons:

- It's pretty much impossible for Nolan to make a bad film - he's too experienced and talented.
- Even in the minute chance that it did fail, we'd all still have two perfect Batman films to fall back on.

Because as Nuffsaid stated, it's the third film in the trilogy. No superhero series in history has had an acclaimed third film.

BUT.....it being a third film in the trilogy is not recent news....and he asked if you were fearfull or anticipitory based upon the recent news.

 

[Rockadood]

Do we trust Christopher Nolan or not?

He has made two fantastic Batman films so far. Why are so many doubting him now?

Is it the title? Casting? the fact that he has ruled out popular villains?

Why are people so afraid? Has Nolan ever let them down?

Nolan himself has expressed concern at the "trilogy" curse. He wouldn't even be at this stage of development if he didn't believe in the story he wants to tell.

Let's just trust in him and enjoy the ride to the next film.

 

[Gianakin_]

The only announcement that actually bears some importance on the film is the casting of Tom Hardy, and I don't think that's a very bad addition to the film.

 

[Solidus]

The third installment "curse" has been because of a few factors.

1. Too many hands in the cookie jar. Ala Spider-Man 3, and Alien 3. Where producers take more control and tell everyone what they want with no single voice, and everything becomes a cluster of ideas strung together in a mess.

2. The studios get impatient and want another one made without the help of the original/ Good director. They grab the nearest guy that has availability and create meh films that really are almost an homage to the originals, like Terminator 3.

Nolan from what we've seen is in complete control, I mean saying "No" to the biggest money grab in the movie world right now? And WB saying: "Ok no 3D do what you want." Is quite a feat in itself. I don't see these two things plaguing TDKR at all. Nolan is the single voice in making this film, and it seems the studios and producers are not forcing him to use "bigger villains" such as Freeze or Riddler, he seems to be getting to do what he wants.

So after that statement I will say pure anticipation.

 

[ALP]

BUT.....it being a third film in the trilogy is not recent news....and he asked if you were fearfull or anticipitory based upon the recent news.

Ah yes, my mistake. Didn't realize his 'recent news' remark. In that case, I mostly agree. Unless there are just a couple of people fearful b/c Riddler won't be in the film.

 

[Bat-Mite]

I think we need to form a prayer circle because the title of the movie proves that the buttons on Nolan's vest are getting too tight and cutting off some of the circulation to his brain. It can only get worse from here. Expect Louie the Lilac to be the main villain of the film!

Spoiler

 

[Smit84]

If I have any trepidation about the next film it would be Nolan's past comments that alluded to the difficulty in getting a good third story. Besides our buddy Jett had to start the rumor that Nolan and WB had a "hand shake agreement" that if they let him do Inception, he would do another Batman for them. My only worry is this could be Nolan's first paycheck movie.

Having said that, I am incredibly excited about whatever Nolan comes up with, and unlike some fans, if the movie doesn't live up to The Dark Knight I won't turn against Nolan.

 

[NoName86]

I love that there could be "fear" given that the only real news we got was that Tom Hardy will be in it and the new title. If you can base whether a movie is gonna be good or bad from the title, then I salute you.
