God! Nolan's Dark Knight Rises is such a terrible movie!

Man, how great would it have been if Nolan could've brought Ledger's Joker back as the judge sentencing Gordon and crew out on the ice?
You clearly haven't seen Thor (both of them), Avengers (both of them) or Iron Man 2, have you.
The Joker was meant to have a major role in the film but obviously that all got scrapped when Ledger passed away.

It's such a dreadful film.
I was so excited when I saw it in theaters and I felt like the movie was a total slog.
Decided to give it a second chance on DVD and I got about halfway through it before walking away in boredom.
That said, The movie is still better than Iron Man 2 (and 3, sorry) and Ant Man and the Thors so whatever.

Well, 99% of the movie would have still been terrible, I guess

I'm convinced that the people on this site have seen exactly 3 films, if this one registers as "terrible"
It does definitely feel GAF centric. But this is a place where most people describe even the mildest bit of disappointing entertainment as "trash" so it can probably be expected.
Watched it the other day. It's OK.
I do wonder if there aren't any movies where instead of letting Bane on the plane Carcetti/littlefinger just shot them all in the head right there.
Dark knight is easily the best movie of the three.

The first half of begins is great thr thir act is stupid as fuck.

do we know what movie he wanted to make if Ledger were alive?
Because it is aggressively stupid while also being direly serious and morose. Those two aspects of it are incompatible and it makes it a difficult watch IMO.

Good:
- Bane
- Bane's origin Story
- Catwoman
- Catwoman's batmobile pose
- The amazing Soundtrack
- Rise scene
- Ending Montage
- Batman's first appearence
- The Bat chase scene at the end
- First Batman v Bane fight sequence
Bad
- Second Batman v Bane Fight sequence
- Everything with Joseph Gordon Levitt save for the final shot
- Poor sound mix during Bane's prison speech
- Alfred's 180 for plot purposes
- Batman Speaking in his batman voice in front of people who know his real identity
- Lack of Batman in a three hour batman movie
- Using Manhattan as a backdrop for Gotham after using Chicago the first two movies
Ugly
- Batman speaking in his batman voice when no one is around
- Nolan equating looters to Occupy Wallstreet protestors. This is in a batman movie, why?
- Retroactively Ruins the ending of TDK which turned Batman into an outlaw. Now he's just a retired ex-outlaw?
- This Dialogue: You have finally come to die with your city? No, i have come to stop you.
- Talia's death scene. Nolan shoots stuff quick and dirty but ffs pay attention from time to time.

This huge turn against this movie confuses me. Personally I enjoyed it much more than Begins.
It's my favorite and most rewatched of the trilogy.

Can we start suggesting titles for the next TDKR thread now?
Because I thought of a good one.
Thread: TDKR isn't a Marvel movie God!

I don't like Rises much but i think SMH is one of the best superhero movies ever, certainly the best since TDK. You left before things even got going.

It's the worst, the only reason Batman won the final fight with Bane was because they ran out of filming time so Bane had to throw it.

interstellar is nolan's best movie
Not even in his top 3.
Something I'm going to add as lazy too... the title.
It's the third entry in a trilogy. I was expecting some play on batman terminology. But no. It's the second movie title repeated with another word.
I would accept it if they were all dark knight something but no. It doesn't feel like a trilogy based on the titles.

Lot of attention seekers on here.
This is the only movie of his I've seen that I don't like. It's just damn sloppy.
I've seen them all and they are significantly better than dark knight rises. Dark Knight rises is easily Nolan's worst movie.

It's the worst Nolan Batman movie. I'd probably call it the worst Chris Nolan movie, but it is better than any DC movie since and better than any Marvel movie, period. It's only "bad" in comparison to TDK and BB, but it's still good.
My general thought about TDKR is that it has a lot of great individual scenes and sequences but but the connective tissue and story are too weak and feel slapdash, resulting in a sloppy overall film.
I love the next level chaos that infects Gotham and the long period of time that the film covers. It gives the sense that a really epic story is happening, but the general writing and resolution left me feeling really underwhelmed. It was definitely at least in part because of the expectations coming after TDK and Inception, two of his strongest blockbusters imo. I like the ambition and scale of the film, but the substance that was supposed to give it meaning fell short.
I'd take TDKR over a few MCU films (Ironman 2, Thor 2, Captain America, Incredible Hulk off the top of my head) and pretty much all DCEU films with the sole exception of Wonder Woman.
