TDKR did not realize its true potential (Possible Spoilers)

I have enjoyed reading the original poster's arguments and actually agree with a great deal of his post. I have also enjoyed reading the counter arguments and actually agree with most of those as well! So, two things I would like to comment on. First: I think Nolan fans are a hopeful lot. I think it...

NF Reviews/Reactions Only

1. John Blake - Great writing by grounding the character of Robin into this movie, having in him qualities of all the Robins just shows how well they know these characters. Now about Blake's reveal of Batman - his dialogue had symbolic meaning that literal meaning that "I saw you and recognized Bat...

Anyone else want an extended cut on Blu Ray?

I bloody hope so. I will be extremely disappointed if we don't get it, similar to when the Blu-ray for MI - Ghost Protocol was released. I know the TDK blu-ray has all the IMAX scenes listed separately, but was there any way to integrate them into the actual playback of the film? I hope they have t...

TDKR Reviews Discussion

I would have liked to have seen a scene that demonstrated Batman's speed and agility against Bane, but at the same time I think the Bane/Batman fight is fine the way it is. I would compare it to the lightsaber duels in the Star Wars films. In the original films they are better because they are about...

Top 10 scenes across the trilogy?

I don't have a whole top ten compiled, but I will say that as far as single scenes go I think it's unquestionably the Batman/Joker interrogation in The Dark Knight. Talk about a scene that shows you something familiar in a way you've never seen before. It's surreal and so well-written and intensely ...

A Suggested Reading of The Dark Knight Rises

Great article. A lot of insight there and it reminded me of just how much weight can be found in each of the film's images. Thanks!

TDKR Box Office

Avatar was predictable and boring True, it puzzles me how it became the highest grossing movie ever, especially over two billion. But at the same time, I feel it's commendable that an original (and by original, I mean not a sequel, adaption or reboot of anything) movie would pay off so well. But wa...

Part of me wonders if Nolan approves the third trailer(s)

Every final trailer spoils the movie. Just look at them. No need to complaine. That's not true in my experience. But my point is that Nolan et al are smarter than this. There was no need to show major events. Just show Batman having fun and kicking ass and hint at a threat rising. That said, they w...

Part of me wonders if Nolan approves the third trailer(s)

The third trailer portrays a completely different film than what it actually was. The third trailer is very serious and heartfelt, but the movie was silly and just your average superhero movie, with quips and plot holes galore. I think the third trailer kind of spoiled me. I thought we would get so...

TDKR General Information

I don't know whether to start a new topic for this or where to put it, so I'll throw it here. Does anyone see any ambiguity in Fox's line to Bruce "Remember where you parked?" I mean, I know there's a 99% chance that it's simply meant to be funny and therefore probably is specifically referencing th...
