		<description><![CDATA[Ok now let&#039;s talk about the things that DID bother us about The Dark Knight Rises - the worst movie of the trilogy.


Please double check the blast radius of a 4 megaton bomb. Just for comparison, a 15 kiloton bomb has a 2 mile blast radius. I also believe that such blast would AT LEAST cause some disturbance in the water, a few hundred meters below.


Should I go on?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although the batman story is not from Nolan (obviously) He DID succeed making Batman films, that previously were filmed quite laughable, and not really memorable, into films that are to be taken seriously. 


The previous directors of Batman films kept the films somewhat childish, not really enjoyable for adults. 


Nolan did the opposite, Nolan made the films very adult, and they are likely too complicated for most children to really understand the films.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very true, i also think the resentment of the orthodox film-fans is due to Nolan&#039;s theatrical blitzkrieg. 


The sad part is that most of those Nolan haters, DO actually praise some of the most overrated, and shitty directors, such as Steven Spielberg (no offense to Spielberg fans but .... we can&#039;t say that Jurassic Park, or E.T. or War Horse, or any of those other abhorrent films of Spielberg was anything even close to The Dark Knight trilogy)


And praise, for example Pulp Fiction, which is somewhat of a nice movie to watch, but completely lacks depth, any form of depth.


The Orthodox film fans simply cannot stand it that a Batman film series has overthrown The Godfather, and The Shawshank Redemption on the list of best films ever. 


The Dark Knight IS the best film, it&#039;s just that it&#039;s not yet accepted as the best film, because people have a hard time accepting a Batman film as the number 1, in consequence of the previous more laughable Batman films, who could not ever be taken so seriously or be regarded as &#039;top-films&#039; 


As time passes more people will have the courage to say their best regarded film is in fact a Batman film, The Dark Knight will steadily climb to the top of the charts as time progresses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;mythology of The Matrix&quot; 


I assume you must mean Philosophy, rather than mythology, and it&#039;s based on the Philosophy of being imprisoned and enslaved without knowing it. 


it&#039;s based on the philosophical hypothesis of men that would be born and grown shackled to a wall, with a fire behind them, that would see nothing other than the shadows of themselves on the wall in front of them, and would not realize their own imprisonment. 


It&#039;s not that people are &quot;looking for things that aren&#039;t there&quot; it&#039;s just that YOU are not knowledgeable to recognize WHAT philosophy underlies The Matrix. 


Your stupor, is not the stupor of others, In the optics of the idiot, the genius is unsocial, while in reality it&#039;s the idiot, and not the genius who is unsocial. 


Same counts for you, because YOU&#039;RE too dumb to understand the philosophy behind The Matrix, DOESN&#039;T MEAN that other are stupid, because YOU PERCEIVE them to &quot;see things that aren&#039;t there&quot; 


The point is that those things are in fact there, but you lack the receptivity to perceive them, and thus you conclude that they must perceive things that aren&#039;t there, only because YOU CAN&#039;T perceive what other in fact can.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Actually, i noticed Batman escaped the first time i viewed the movie, the last time you see a close-up of Batman&#039;s face before the bomb blast, you can clearly see shadows or objects outside moving across his face, however, in the shot of The Bat flying over seas, there are clearly no objects around that could cast those shadows, initially upon my first watch, i passed it off as a filming mistake, only to find out moments later (in the scene when Fox discovers the autopilot was fixed by bruce wayne) that it was intentional.


So, only to the very perceptive viewer, it is clear that by the time The Bat fly&#039;s over sea, Batman himself is no longer inside, rather, he escapes with an ejection function that we presume The Bat must have had (like the BatPod ejecting out of The Tumbler in The Dark Knight) at the time of the explosion of the building (when Blake shouts &quot;head&#039;s own, this is it&quot;). 


That explosion was likely merely a distraction to prevent him being seen ejecting out of The Bat
since The Bat was not chased by anyone at this point, there should not have been a need to fire missiles, so the explosion was made purposely by Batman, as a distraction, to escape The Bat in the thick black smoke of the explosion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just did a Control F for &quot;recognize&quot; and nothing came up so forgive me if this has been addressed.  But here&#039;s my biggest problem with this movie: Bruce Wayne is famous, world famous, and supposedly dead at the end of the film.  There&#039;s a tombstone for him, his will is executed, there was probably a TV montage on the nightly news about it... and he&#039;s just sitting out in the open in a cafe in Europe without so much as a hoodie to obscure his identity?  Nobody is going to snap a picture of him?  Yes, he was legally declared dead before while running about undisguised, but that was before he returned to Gotham and became an active and oft-photographed socialite. He also was running around with criminals and various other underground sorts, as well as the most secretive society on earth: not sitting in the middle of a major city dressed well with his face shaved.

If you were at Starbucks and Richard Branson was at the table next to you, you&#039;d probably notice.  The only way this works is if the ending is entirely metaphorical and Bruce/Batman really did die in the nuclear blast.]]></description>

The true test of the legitimacy of my OPINION vs this &quot;filmic defense&quot; of yours will of course be time, &amp; ONLY time.

		<description><![CDATA[I am so happy to see someone else that actually understands this. Fabulous. When Bruce climbs out of the prison that is the first time we ACTUALLY see Batman. Conviction, belief, commitment and determination are what make Batman a superhero and in his fight with Bane he didn&#039;t have any. That is why he got his ass kicked easily but after his back broken he still manages to beat Bane because he became Batman again when he climbed out. Seriously great article]]></description>
