The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion Thread - Part 127 (NO SPOILERS)

[Paradoxium]

My biggest disappointment is no Armond White review on RT. Imagine him as the first negative review. The perfect storm t:

If we're ranking, I'm going

MEMENTO
BATMAN BEGINS
TDK
FOLLOWING
INSOMNIA
INCEPTION

I haven't seen The Prestige, unfortunately.

Leave now. If you don't have blu ray go buy a blu ray player. If you don't have an HD TV go buy the biggest one you can. Especially go buy the Prestige on blu ray and witness its beauty. Don't post again until this is done.

But seriously, see this awesome movie!

I couldn't give a **** about rotten tomatoes, or metacritic. Don't. Give. A. Flying. ****.

People are entitled to their opinions. I always described TDK as one of my personal favourites rather than the "best film evar!!" because it hit the criteria of what I wanted, and I understand that not everyone will share that criteria.

I have a criteria for TDKR and from what I have heard, it's hitting all the right spots for what I want. That is all that matters to me.

 

[lets go wings]

Ebert is annoying I don't know why people get so caught up with his reviews.

Just watch the damn movie this Friday!!!!

Roger Moore (The Republic) is giving it a 3.5/4.

Good show, sir.

A critic defending another critic.

That doesn't hint on wether Ebert enjoyed the movie or not.

Ebert is a Nolan fan. So if its anything like the average Nolan film it will be a highly praised film from him.

No need for fear.

That comes later.....when more fanboys read your post

Read my last post. Insert Inception. That is all.

Right. Ebert defended Armond White a couple years ago when he got trashed to hell for disliking Toy Story 3 (or maybe another film, not sure).

I've seen him make posts like that about movies that he really liked but still thought that the reaction (such as in this case) was reprehensible and wanted to call attention to the fact that it's okay to have differing opinions. But, yeah, I have a feeling he won't like it. As others have said, he seemed pretty annoyed about the embargo on Sunday/screening on Tuesday thing, and he tweeted that. He loved the other two, but right now it wouldn't surprise me to see a negative/barely positive review from him.

 

[The Joker]

Some of these reviewers are darn confusing. They say stuff like this about the movie:

But that makes for a bulky, bloated movie. For the third film in a trilogy, there are all these clumsy moments where characters blurt out long speeches of exposition. What really needs explaining, after all this?

Hardy is so big you’d swear he ate Kevin Smith to bulk up. But the posh voice he chose to send through that breathing mask sounds like Sean Connery imitating Darth Vader. Not that he’s coherent, much of the time — lines muffled by the mask and sound mix.

And for a movie that aims for a certain tidiness, this one has a lot of random moments, unexplained and inexplicable actions by heroes and villains alike. I don’t know about you, but I kind of like my screen heavies to have motivation or their villainy, and maybe an exit strategy.

But give it a great 3.5/4 rating. Is this confusing anyone else or is it just me?

Armond White trollin' the perfect score of Toy Story. My god, that was epic

that really has nothing to do with his review.

You're in for a treat then. I wish I was in your shoes, my body wasn't ready when I first experienced that masterpiece.

 

[Joker594]

Ebert giving this movie a negative would be an extremely strange thing for him to do.

He's never given any of Nolan's films less than 3 Stars.

Even the last two are just behind. I can't choose between them ask me on different days you'll get a different favourite film from him.

The weird thing is it wasn't till I saw TDK that I realised all my favourite films were from the same director.

Hardy is so big you’d swear he ate Kevin Smith to bulk up.

 

[jabolino]

The Dark Knight Rises ultimately justifies its length (in fact, a good argument could be made for a longer cut) and the last 45 minutes is nothing short of spectacular.

This makes me happy
