okay, calm down boys and girls lol.
I understand the gripes about this film, but i will say that this film was creative, imaginative, and well put together. Sure some things could be explained better and the pacing and flow could have been better and less choppy at times, but i'm sure that taking a 4 hour film down to an almost 3 hour film is tough work.
That said, this movie didn't need character development as much as people said, especially with the established characters. They have been established in the first two films. I think everyone had a nice amount of screen time to support their characters and no character felt cheated.
The story worked, the actors spot on, and the movie kept the audience engaged for as long as it was.
"want i want from my films - first and foremost is a good movie - with a intelligent coherant involving and creative story that respectfully adapts the source material.
The intelligent, coherant, and creative parts are missing from tdkr. Replaced with scale laziness and contrivance that defies logic, with no consequence or thought put into the results, motivations or actions of the characters."
1. The movie was undoubtedly good.
2. How was the movie not coherent, involving, and creative?
3. I have learned to give up on films that should "adapt the source material." movies will never be 100% true to the source and still be able to entertain the masses and fans. Movies are made to be the relevant adaptations with the personal touch of the creator. Comic writers do this, so it's no unheard of or wrong for the movie writers to do it too.
4. In what way was the film "scale laziness" and how did it defy logic? Batman defies logic all the time, that's what makes him batman.
Maybe you should pick up a batman comic or check out a batman cartoon.
