I've given you enough chances.
Well, I was going to write my big-ass post but then my housemate, who's a massive comic buff and erstwhile film student, just came in and said, "Had any more thoughts about TDKR?" and I can't be bothered saying it all again.
So, in short: it wasn't that good. The plot is extremely overcooked and relies on so many contrivances and conveniences that I just can't take the symbolic and allegorical struggles of each character seriously. I can't stand a film that tries to present itself as smart, and ladens down every character and fist fight with multi-layered allegory, and yet simultaneously treats the viewer like an idiot because it expects us to turn our brains off and accept so much stupidity and coincidence. This is basically a problem I have with comics and comic book movies in general. I thought The Dark Knight was a good film because it managed to stay just on the edge of plausibility. TDKR, in trying to top it, falls off the tightrope.
they should of made DKR like the first version, except in this one, he has sort of fallen in a different way. Everything goes to shit. His property and assets seized, he is being hunted, and then he has to start again. And then when the bad guys think they have it all, boom, i'm back. Except this time he is really fucking pissed. Super pissed. And he manages to find some money guy and he just goes overboard on the tech. And he is really fucking mean. And there is no bruce wayne. Just batman. There are no sort of plot hurdles , it is just a revenge movie pretty much. And he fucking dies at the end. And that is him rising. The end.
honestly, i don't understand why they have such a hard time making movies.
that chick did the worst job of dying ever!
and the first thing batman does after escaping a jail in jersualem is cover a bridge in gasoline so it looks like a bat when lit???? WHAT ABT THE BOMB BATMAN!!! WHAT ABOUT THE BOMB!!! how the hell did he find an hour to do such great craftsmanship when the bomb was going to blow in 5 hrs!!!!
and who else thought Batman was bringing the bomb across the bridge to New Jersey??!?
That really would have made him a superhero.

I swear 80% of Michael Caine's lines were in tears.
Everyone's talking about how it's much better the second time around and it makes me want to see it again. It's so common with Nolan's films.
That's definitely true in my experience. I appreciated Dark Knight the most the third time around.
they better not make another batman with robin. and i agree it would have been awesome if batman just died.
also I agree the stupid lil boy twist was fuckin retarded i was waiting for someone else be like "NO! I was the lil boy!" thats not a plot twist that was just fuckin gay. The movie could have kept going without that stupid woman.
I will just say this, cool movie by the last 45 mins killed it for me.
We def didnt need a robin. I hope if they do make a new Batman they cast Drake as robin
That's almost as ridiculous as Halle Berry starring in her own Catwo-
Oh.

I'm just happy they actually did Bane justice and made him into the terrifying intellectual and physical force he is meant to be rather than some moronic beefcake.

thats what I mean. I would love to see Batman dead.
Personally I think hes the worst superhero. his superpower is money. Take away his fortune and hes just some dude that knows karate. Jackie Chan could woop his ass
The Hulk's superpower is muscle. Take that away and he's a nerdy scientist. Take away anyone's single superpower and they're nothing. Why's money any different? Works for Iron Man pretty well.
This cracked me up. "The evolution of Batman".

Throwback to The Dark Knight, but holy crap, Heath was just playing a Tom Waits villain!
