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

[Oneironaut]

"It lacks the near-perfection of "The Dark Knight" (2008), it needs more clarity and a better villain, but it's an honorable finale."

I wanted to think that Ebert is ******** because he wasn't invited to see it earlier, but his review is good and seems reasonable.

Batman: The Animated Series Rise: 10 Episode Marathon!

By watching the promo I can tell the marathon will be comprised of Bane and Catwoman episodes.

I checked my guide and the episodes are driven by the villains that were used in the Dark Knight trilogy. So Joker, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Ra's Al Ghul, Bane and Catwoman are all showcased.

 

[gazzilla8000]

I honestly believe Ebert's luke-warm review was influenced by the nasty fan backlash towards some of the critics. Ebert seemed very opinionated about that.

Maybe I'm in denial.

 

[The Joker]

From what I've read,

Spoiler

his character takes center stage during the 2nd Act, and surprise, surprise, that's where most critics say the film gets dragged out. Plus it isn't JGL that I am worried about, it's just that Blake just comes off as a really boring mary sue character.

Seriously? I really don't like the sound of that.

That's cool, too bad I already went through all the animated series episodes a month ago.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

For the people still worrying about Ebert's positive review. . . can't believe I'm saying that

Here are a few movies he's also given 3/4 Stars - Just to put it into perspective

The Avengers
The Prestige
Memento
The Godfather Part II

And he gave Prometheus 4 stars. I'm a fan of his writing and his personality so I love reading his reviews though he can be off a lot of the times. He gave Fight Club 2 1/2 out of 4 also.

 

[ImAlwaysAngry]

I'm not pissing and moaning; but a 3.5 would have been better. Just saying.

This is pretty much the funniest and saddest thing I have read all day.

 

[JackWhite]

Travesty, you were right. BB/TDK had the same amount of screentime! Not that I doubted you, but I didn't remember it like that.

Why would you be in denial... Is Roger Eberts opinion really that important to you?

 

[lordofthenerds]

Wow, some people on here are acting like this movie is at 60% rotten or something. I don't get. I don't know if they're trolling or being serious?

They're just mad because it's getting rated slightly lower than TDK.

 

[batman11]

Someone needs to do a manip of that GIF of Bruce climbing the prison pit and there's a 90% score at the top.

 

[Travesty]

You should splice a few scene of when Bruce is screaming, and it drops to 85%.

 

[Yawsbass]

And he gave Prometheus 4 stars. I'm a fan of his writing and his personality so I love reading his reviews though he can be off a lot of the times. He gave Fight Club 2 1/2 out of 4 also.

He gave it 2 stars. Which I agree with.

 

[joker1524]

Any matthew modine love from critics?

 

[DorneyDave]

I actually really like what I'm hearing about less Batman...because I'm almost positive the Batman time we do get in this one is going to be so damn epic and bad***.

During Begins, I was never "Waiting" for Batman to show up...I was enjoying Bruce's journey to become him. Then when it happened and we got that first scene at the docks...oh man that was awesome.

I'm really looking forward to Bruce's struggles in the beginning and his eventual journey back into Batman. Awesome!

 

[Goku Goes Crazy]

Are there spoilers in Ebert's review? If so, can somoene post it without spoilers?

 

[The Chris]

Wow, some people on here are acting like this movie is at 60% rotten or something. I don't get. I don't know if they're trolling or being serious?

We're just a little spoiled i think. Even I had disappointed feelings at first, but then it hit me how stupid I was being. I mean this is still easily the highest rated third installment in a comic book series so far right?

 

[Art Damage]

So will Ebert's review be considered fresh for RT?

Oh wow. That's really awesome. I'm gonna record it since when it's on, I'll be seeing TDKR.

 

[ImAlwaysAngry]

Am I the only one here who thinks Bane looks better and more interesting than The Joker??????????

No.

 

[Deserana]

Blake is meant to be a very strong point. Blake is prbably the central character in Gotham when Bruce is in prison.

 

[Boom]

You've won the Internet for the week.

 

[Joker594]

He also gave The Amazing Spider-Man a 3.5/4 (Higher than both The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers), which is. . .

Eh, I'm not gonna' comment on what that exactly is

Take it for what you will.

Are you talking about my thread?

In regards to BB/TDK, it's funny how little that really makes it seem. Totally different upon viewing, IMO.

 

[lordofthenerds]

So will Ebert's review be considered fresh for RT?

Yes, 3/4 is always fresh.
