The Dark Knight Rises - 9/10. :disbelief:

I absolutely adore Nolan's trilogy, but anyone who says that Rises is one star from being a perfect movie is just plain wrong. This is coming from one of Nolan's greatest defenders too.

I give Rises 2 out of 5 stars. Prove to me I'm wrong if it's so factual that it's a perfect movie.

You do realise that I'm saying that Rises is far from being a perfect movie, yes?

No one's stating it as fact. It's an opinion, just like your rating is your opinion.

Somehow the scene in TDKR where Dr. Crane sentences Gordon and others reminded me of the scene in the Harry Potter movie where Dolores Umbridge sentences other Muggle-borns.

As if there's some exact science to rating to rating movies...or such a thing as an objectively perfect movie.

Some people start at 10 and start taking off points for things that bothered them.

I like to start with nothing and add points for all the elements I loved.

Nobody's rating is wrong.

It's a special effects team that is responsible for working on the scenes involving computer screens.

Why Do We Fail...

Why Do We Fail...

You're right, didn't notice that until you pointed it out.

EPIC FAIL t:

 

[VM1138]

"Even when Gotham was being blown up we never saw ONE ordinary citizen reaction shot. Even the shelters were with characters we sort of knew. One was full of St Swithens orphans and the other was Wayne Enterprises workers there still weren't ordinary citizens in there.

I can't help but feel that a two parter would have explored these things more."

This was a quote by someone from the previous thread and I just wanted to respond to it. I don't really think reaction shots of citizens was necessary. The whole point was that things had gotten so bad people wouldn't leave their houses. We saw this in it's most extreme form when they talked about cops being hunted down and the discussion about hiding indoors.

We saw people being hauled before a kangaroo court and being exiled to death. We saw a bunch of orphans trying to escape and survive.

I'm not sure what seeing "regular" citizens would have added. I imagine they would have undergone the exact same experiences as we saw others go through. Bane was pretty to the point what would happen if they tried to escape, and when the government gave up on them there was nothing for them to do but hide and survive.

I felt that the total ghost town vibe from Gotham is what gave the film this great atmosphere of danger.

no problem.

Exactly! Newspapers make mistakes all the time!
