What makes you think on that? The cinematography is far better because it's darker and more tonally consistent. The ending is debatable but I prefer how it set up the 2nd film and shows how start.
Btw, you should rewatch MCU films some time. I think rewatchability has nothing to do with quality. I can see Shazam or an Avenger movie way more than Goodfellas or Se7en because I want to see them one time so they don’t get ruined by too much watches.
Well, cinematography and soundtrack are pretty subjective. But I'll say I think the IMAX photography goes so perfectly with the huge scale of the film which takes it to another level as far as a visual experience. I feel like it takes the best of both worlds from BB and TDK's visual approach.
As far as score, I think the war-driven nature of the TDKR score with heavy percussion, chanting, etc. really emphasizes Zimmer's strengths as a composer. His collaboration with JNH on Begins is fantastic, but just in terms of preference I lean towards Rises because Zimmer was able to fully unleash the epic. And his Catwoman theme is fantastic too.
One day I'll rewatch the MCU films. Speaking of cinematography and soundtracks though, I think those are two areas where those movies are lacking overall. I'd agree that quality doesn't necessarily equate to rewatchability, but at the same time for me memorability-- whether a movie stays with me or not-- usually factors into how I rate it.
