I pretty much agree with Jim Kalah. Too inconsistent. But hey, those are your opinions…I guess.

It is hard to take this review seriously when you liked the Webb Spiderman, X-Men Origins, and kind of liked Transformers 2. I understand you guys are geeks, but really? This was a bit on the ridiculous side. The Dark Knight Rises was loud, clunky, but it worked. And really? That is what I was looking for. Obviously it wasn’t going to beat the Dark Knight, but it still did a damn good job. Sorry you weren’t impressed, but you guys REALLY need a standardized way of reviewing movies, because there are MAJOR inconsistencies here.

If a movie doesn’t have every single geeky aspect in it from the sourcematerial, you hate it with fanboy/girl rage. Even if it is a well put together movie with great performances. I am sorry, but I simply do not understand or agree with you guys anymore.

well if this movie review doesn’t prove that Matt has no idea what he is talking about then nothing will. Batman had plenty of screen time in the movie stop bitching that the movie want a shot for shot remake of some comic book. well that it for me I cant take seriously people who dont know good film when it slaps them in the face.

Multiple times in the movie they tell you that during the 8 years Batman cleaned up the streets. With Gotham not needing Batman anymore I think that is when he sank into depression. I do think they could have gotten rid of the stuff in the pit or make it shorter. I’m a huge Batman fan. Fans of the comics need to understand that this is Nolan’s version of Batman and that its not completely like the comic. I would like to have seen them work the Lazarus pit into the movie somewhere. All in all I thought it was a good end to the saga.

I thought it was an okay movie. Still think Batman Begins is the best of the trilogy. If Matt and Nat haven’t seen it yet, there is a funny “How It Should Have Ended” video at their website for TDKR. http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/

Upcoming movies that look interesting are Dredd 3D, Resident Evil Retribution, Looper, Wreck-it Ralph, and Skyfall. I’m looking forward to Wreck-it Ralph the most.

I’m very split on this movie. I agree all of Matt’s criticisms if this film, especially the point about Bruce Wayne sitting around for 8 years; which seemed too similar to Superman’s 7 year absence in Superman Returns.

I have several other gripes about about this movie, however I can’t help it, but I actually like this movie. I would have liked Nolan to continue the gangland “feel” of The Dark Knight, but the return to Batman Begins was satisfying in a way. I enjoyed the parallels between the stories and I enjoyed the story thread about Wayne learning to Bruce Wayne again and wanting to live. I thought this made the character much more human.

I also liked the fact that Bruce was Batman for only about 14 months. I thought the beginning of The Dark Knight showed what a night for Batman was like, he was getting bitten by dogs, smashed against walls and landing on cars after jumping down 8 stories. No human person can withstand this amount of physical beatings.

I thought the original plan when Nolan was hired was to only do three films, then reboot again for another interpretation of the character. Maybe in 2015 we will see a more acrobatic batman wearing the classic Black, Blue and grey outfit with a brightly colored Robin.

While not perfect, I enjoyed this version of Batman and and interpretation that Nolan gave us.

I think DC characters are a little bit more complex than Marvel heroes therefore I think DC characters are harder to nail on the big screen.

Then again, DC can learn from Marvel and take risks, like they did.
