- www.redlettermedia.com - We've had many fans ask us to upload our Half in the Bag episodes to CZcams, so we're gonna start doing just that! In case you follow this channel, but never go to our website for some reason, we've got plenty more episodes there.
Mike and Jay see some little independent film nobody's heard of called The Dark Knight Rises, directed by Christopher Nolan. - Zábava
Nine years later, can we take a moment to appreciate that Chris Nolan’s final
Batman action set piece is “some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb”?
Watched this movie countless times, never realized this.
Thank you, this is brilliant.
“Nine years later”
Excuse me, what?
You take a moment to appreciate it, I have to go pick up my dog from the groomers.
Oh my God! I don't know how I missed that but bravo 👏
Jay really went through phases of facial hair. Here we see his amish look.
I thought he was doing a semi wolverine
Sometimes you gotta run the gamut before you find the right one
I miss Amish Jay.
My favorite look
He looks so handsome now
Going back to these old episodes is like visiting a different planet, both in terms of Mike and Jay and the movie landscape as a whole
I miss the time when they did actual sketches amd storylines
@@horusreloaded6387 satire reflects reality lol
10 Years later we finally have a Batman Film where Batman takes out a crime syndicate, just like Mike wanted, and they haven’t watched it 😂
Riddler took out the syndicate… batman failed repeatedly
@giu3175 What lol? I think you need to rewatch that movie 🎬.
@devilsurvivor69 i think you may need too lol
He didnt stop any crime syndicates, riddler did. He didnt stop riddler, GCPD did. Batman and jim gordon needed Oz to clue them in on a part of the riddle… that batman never solved, hence the flood.
The only thing batman did successfully was rescue people from the water.
Batman failed repeatedly. If not, help understand how im wrong…
@@giu3175Completely agree, none of it was Batmans plan, just following events set in place by Riddler. He was Robin to Riddlers Batman. Wouldn't mind but the cast was actually really good but the writing and story was weak. I still agree with Mike, we need a film about Batman going after a regular crime group, no need for mega villains.
@@TehCheese
1960s Batman is as good as it gets. In all seriousness, the reason you have your Batman fans is due to it being a little more grounded and dark than other superhero crap. I don't think there was anything wrong with The Batman. My only complaint is that it was too long, in my opinion. As much as I liked the execution, I did find myself dozing off toward the last act.
Wow Jay says "..me, personally" in this.
That makes this video so meta and pretty much borderline experimental.
Me, personally, I loved his performance in this episode.
Very cool
GIVE IT UP FOR THE MAN IN THE MANDALORIAN ARMOR

a simple joke, but one I got a good kick out of nonetheless
i like how mike’s idea of a prank call is a ransom call lmaooo
bane voice "lets the ransom begiiiiin!"
Wow going through the playlist for Half in the Bag and am pretty surprised at what movies the guys like, but nothing so far has been as big a swerve that Jay's not a fan of Christopher Nolan but loved Dark Knight Rises of all movies
I agree, Shawn.
it's a fantastic movie.
Also, not being a fan of Chris Nolan? Memento, The Prestige, Origin, Batman Begins and TDK
How the Hell are you "not a fan"? Lol. (I know, individual taste. I know)
Jay's stupid little leap made me smile. Such great physical comedy, the little wiggle of the arms the slow judging the distance the just wholly awful jump. What a great little moment. I might just remember that jump for the rest of my life. Rewatched it like 15 times
"I would like to see a Batman takes out this crime syndicate story,"
Wasn't that the entire 1st half of The Dark Knight?
Superultramegaa LastName And like the second act of Begins?
Might be the new batman movie. We'll see
@@ihatecorpsehusband7147 i can see why you would say that but the long halloween is way better for a beginning and end to falcones mob story, the falcones are tertiary antagonists at best in batman begins and dark knight

@@detraillowe3657 I read this at 0:49
Mike can remember the title every Star Trek episode from TOS to Voyager but not the name of the movie he’s currently reviewing 😂
Just started watching these this year and noticed that Mike doesn't look any different 10 years ago than he does today. Wild.
And now all of a sudden his beard is completely grey.
Time makes hack frauds of us all.
He looks noticeably older nowadays, while Jay looks so much better
Jay looks less special and more postpubescent, while Mike looks consequently less gay for him and equally terrifying.
I honestly thought they wouldn't like this movie , I'm surprised
Indeed, it's friggin' terrible.
@@DoubleMonoLR it’s just not though, is it?
My biggest problem with it was that it built Bane and his back story up for an entire movie, then simply took it and gave it to a different character. I don't get why no one else find this as ludicrous as it is.
Bcause it isn't.
Does anyone know if the amish jay action figure is still in production?
This was a great review, but my favorite part was Jay's curb jump in the first ten seconds.
I never understood their first fight. Just because Bane doesn't feel pain wouldn't stop Bats being able to break the guys bones, say, snap his shins in half.
And many batarang wounds
Maybe he has muscles in places where there isn't supposed to be muscles and he can deflect any blows? XD
Mike has a REALLY weird idea of prank phone calls. "Meet me at the corner if you want to see your daughter alive."
Twenty years later and he still gets me with that one every time.
And to think people accuse RLM of being Marvel fanboys in their negative Man of Steel and BvS reviews.
Anyone who is gonna stand on BvS and MoS being anywhere close to Marvel , is out of their fucken minds !!
They were also pretty unenthusiastic about Civil War.
Is because they're not comic book fans, they see the movies as what they are, movies.
The Nolan Batman films exist outside of the Marvel vs DC nonsense. Nolan's Batman is in his own "universe"; The Flash or Wonder Woman could/would/should NOT exist in his world.
They stand alone.
Christopher Nunn So you're saying you actually think they ARE Marvel fanboys?
"For me, personally, thats the kind of thing that is just very cool" ~8:30
Ha ha, we finally get to see Mike do the Plinkett voice! My life is complete.
Personally I love the Bane voice. I agree with Mike about how it's creepy because it's not the evil monster voice you would expect. I also agree that it was intentional how it didn't mix in with the rest of the sound track. It was supposed to feel like it stood out from everything else and surrounded you. Bane is the voice and the voice is Bane. He's pretty much Darth Vader, breathing apparatus and all.
obviously the reason this movie sucked is because they didn't put the Inception BWWOONNNNGGGGG in the trailer
too true
"I'd like to see a smaller superhero story... a 'Batman takes out this crime syndicate' kind of story"
You mean like 'The Batman'? 😎
GET THEM ON BOARD I'LL CALL IT IN.
Bane?
HE DIDN'T FLY SO GOOD
listenerofrealrap No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.
you're a big guy!
yyzable 4U.
1:36 Jay looks at the camera....bad actor? Nah...bad director.
Love you guys!
This is weird to watch in 2019. I feel like they'd hate this movie now.
Well, they also weren't drowning in focus grouped, pandering, formulaic Marvel drek when TDRK came out.

@@seank9823 Have you ever seen a fat skeleton 🤣
Is this the best HITB opening skit? Have I at last found it? Multiple shooting locations… funny physical/shot-placement comedy… an on-screen(!) OG Mr. Plinkett voice… AND they’re still in their mid Teens (in CZcamsr years)…
Haven’t even gotten to the review itself yet, but I think I’ve finally found the perfect HITB episode.
I saw this in theaters back when I still smoked weed, but I had started not enjoying being high and was getting too paranoid and uncomfortable when high. The airplane scene and the theaters sound system blasting the music was so intense and crazy. Loved it
Best description of the Bane voice I have heard "he sounds like if Sean Connery took helium and did a Donald Duck impression"
imdb = 8.5
rotten tomatoes = 88% / audience score = 90%
metacritic = 78 / user score = 8.4
85+88+90+78+84 = 425
425/5 = 85
average = 85 / 100
so apparently 85% of people like TDKR, so are you telling me that this entire comment section is filled with the 15% of people who don't like it?
Yes it's really weird, it might have to do with some of the youtube algorithms.
Because 85% of the population doesn't give a crap about movies, if theres explosions or whatever to distract them they don't think about the movie enough to notice all the retarded plot holes and weak characterizations etc. Only people who actually put thought into the movies they're seeing would bother to watch a review on youtube or watch half in the bag in general.
TDKR is one of those movies where when you leave the theatre you're like HMM it was fun but something seemed off, then when you think about it you realize it makes no fucking sense and batman never really "rose" he didn't figure out how to get out of the prison, he was TOLD how to get out of it. He was TOLD bane's weakness. The only time he ever rose was physically in his plane.
TDKR is shit. Period.
Bruce didn't change at all. He retired, and then upon meeting catwoman and hearing about Bane decided to put on the cape again. Considering he is fucking Batman putting on a suit again and going at it isn't that much of an accomplishment considering what he has done already. I enjoyed the "old man batman" phase anyway though, it was light hearted and fun.
Then he gets beat up by Bane, great scene.
Then the second half of the movie starts and the movie goes to shit. How did Bruce change at all from himself before entering that jail and after? Or put a better way, if he NEVER went to that jail could he have beaten Bane?
Answer is if someone just told him Bane's weakness being his mask YES, he could have skipped the entire jail scene and just beat up Bane. Batman literally got cheat codes the entire movie he didn't do anything heroic. Oh they took Batman's tanks? Well he has a weird helicopter thing now thats way better than his old tanks. Oh he broke his back? Doesn't matter theirs a super-medicine man in the cave. Oh he can't figure out how to get out of the cave? Don't worry the medicine man gives you the tip you need to get out. Oh you can't figure out how to beat Bane? Medicine man tells how his silly as fuck weakness. Oh the criminals have guns and shit now and the police are out of resources? Doesn't matter because for some reason the criminals never fire shit (and neither do the few cops with guns). Oh Bane is better than you in every way? Nope he was lying and is just Talia's bitch. Oh Talia totally tricked you? Doesn't matter cause her master plan is to drive around a truck while the remnants of the cops, catwoman, and a helicopter chases her.
Like do you not see how lame the second half of the movie is? What the fuck was the point of the jail scene. You can say "Oh batman got the will to live a little more?" but that is bad writing. You would only know that because they explicitly say it, Batman doesn't do a single thing after he gets out of the jail that he wouldn't have done before the jail. In fact if he really cared about his life and gotham more than his nonsense he would have just shot Bane instead of betting the fate of a city on a kick boxing match.
I've honestly written essays about this before so I'll stop now but if you can't see that the 2nd half of the movie was complete nonsense and horrific writing you are an idiot.
Yep plinketts reviews are amazing and really funny.
@@sharp7j I mean, I care about movies and I enjoyed it given the few things I didnt like
Some of the spectacle pulled me right out of the movie. Like when the people of Gotham armed mostly with chains, clubs, and police revolvers rose up and charged down the middle of the street towards Bane's army of thugs, almost all of whom seemed to have automatic weapons, and somehow it seemed to be an even fight.
You explained that vastly out of context and with inaccurate info... Jesus your the worst type of movie goer
@@kylekondit9709 Sorry, movie got lazy though.
@@kylekondit9709 Was the context that the massive mob of gangsters with assault rifles forgot to remove the blanks that day?
@@robertgaudet7407 the context was that it was the police force, not the people of Gotham, they heavily outnumbered the thugs, and were given an opening to charge when Batman shot the tank
@@redstoneman6756 Shit now I might have to rewatch it. This is like the Director of 'Cuties' trying to trick me into watching that just once though...
Also I'm clearly offended by the wrong thing here. I didn't think batman ever shot anything other than a grapple gun...
Glad to know someone else shares the same feeling about Nolan's films. He's hated or loved, but I'm somewhere in the middle. He makes entertaining movies, but they're not genius.
+MacGuffin Holy shit, a reasoned, level-headed response to disliking something? Who the fuck are you and why the fuck are you here? Get the fuck out. Fuck.
+dr.krieger I'm just a guy.
You know, I'd compare him to someone like James Cameron, but maybe not quite as good.
MacGuffin I haven't really enjoyed a James Cameron movie since the ridiculousness that was True Lies. Overall I think I prefer Nolan's work.
+dr.krieger I was mostly referring to everything up until the early 90's... along with Titanic. Titanic is another one with which I seem to agree with the people on this channel.
I prefer Cameron. There is more of a sense of humor in his work. Though, I guess you can say The Dark Knight had its funny moments.
+MacGuffin Wished he isn't so hesitant on doing the entertainment part.
It's absurd the cops vs thugs brawl in the end, but I always found it to be easily funnest sequence in the film.
And the whole failed lock/docking scene in Interstellar, easily one of the most intense/thrilling moments in the theater.
It can be entertaining if he just embraces that more and trims the fat everywhere else.
"That's the worst Plinkett impersonation I've ever heard!" Hah!!
So many people hating on Nolan and this movie. I wonder what they all ended up saying about MoS, BvS or SS. I mean, if TDKR is considered bad, I can't imagine what those others are.
2:40 Mike: (in Plinkett voice): _"Yeah, this is Harry S Plinkett. Who is this?"_
Jay: _"That's the _*_worst_*_ Plinkett impression I've ever heard!"_
lol
I believe at the test screenings people complained that you couldn’t understand bane and they went back an re-recorded all his lines or cleaned it up and I agree with jay his voice is like right in you ear
8:33 "For me, personally...."
he was doing it before it was "cool"...
They knew all along...
Lol does the actual plinkett voice "omg that's the worst plinkett impression ever" 🤣
2019, I still love The Dark Knight Rises and Escape From New York
Am I the only one that looks at old comments and wonder how that person is doing? xD
Jay lookin bit like that dude in the burbs in this episode
oh god yeah good spot
I remember being slightly disappointed with the movie when it first came out, but in no way, shape, or form did I hate it. I think people here basically feel the same way, but have lost the ability to express opinions that aren't absolute extremes, so everything just comes out worse than they actually feel.
Take a look at film history, especially superhero film history, and something you'll notice is that the third film in a series almost aways marks the point when the franchise goes downhill: Superman III, Batman Forever, Ninja Turtles III, Spider-Man III, X-Men: The Last Stand, Blade III, etc. Honestly, The Dark Knight Rises is a cinematic masterpiece compared to what we could've gotten.
You said it. People are hating too hard.
***** It was fine.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATED IT
I still think this movie is worse then batman begins
This argument is sorta what aboutism,
the movie should be based on its on merits not on the fact that other third movies in superhero franchises are worse
Favorite line: "Do you feel in charge?"
Interesting revisiting this review. But yet again, I feel like I'm one of few people who had no problem understanding Bane's voice. :/
That little jump Jay makes cracks me up every time.
MR PLINKETT'S HOOOOUUUUUUSE! I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW IT!!!!!
They added new furniture
IT BROKE NEW GROUND!!!!!!!!!!!
Why can Anne Hathaway not sit on my face...
Cause she’s on mine 😏🤨
You know why
"That Christopher Nolan is an overrated hack." LMAO! Jay's delivery of that line was brilliant!
7:28 Mike got his wish 10 years later
My cousin is a stuntman and former special forces, he was one of the stuntmen in the opening sequence with the planes. They won an award for the sequence.
I enjoyed this review as much as i enjoyed seeing your socks and sneakers
Surprised they liked it. Cos they are so good at finding logic holes
Why is there so much hate in the comments????!!!!
+GameStation3 Palpatine's behind it all.
+GameStation3 because the cartoon rabbit steps in the poopy
Honest Trailer fanboys
Because the fact that it's a bad movie triggers the Nolanite mouthbreathers.
SV67943 This has not aged well
I have a feeling Mike and Jay just go through this sorta thing every day in real life.
13:24 Funny thing is that actor also played a doctor in Memento (2000) and Nolan likes to think they are the same character
Loved this movie. Loved all 3 of them.
2:40 had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video.
It's 2020 and I'm still laughing over the "That's my Bane" bit.
0:19 the way Mike says that like it’s common knowledge is hilarious
2019. I love this episode!
I actually don't hate the people who liked The Dark Knight Rises, I kind of feel jealous because they loved a movie that I really wanted to love, but just couldn't
This. And I think there are things that could have made it worthy, but the ideas they went forward with just didn’t work (Batman returning twice, no emotional connection to Talia.)
In any case, TDKR will always have the specter of “What could have been” with Heath Ledger’s death and how TDK & TDKR could really have been 2 parts of the same movie with the Joker as the showcase villain.
Are you Batman
I really liked this movie except for Anne Hathway's ridiculous leg kicks and punching power.
@@yachtrockman no. Even if heath ledger had lived (which I really wish had happened), I don't think he should've been in dark knight rises. He is the greatest villain of all time and not mentioning him at all in the third makes his performance that much more exclusive and rare. Less is always more. He's never mentioned once in the dark knight rises but you feel his influence everywhere. He's the reason everything is the way it is in that movie. If they showed him or said his name, it would make his performance not as exclusive and it would just make him another character in a franchise. Having him in 1 movie makes whatever he did that much bigger and more important. Less is more.
Because it was the most disappointing thing since MY SON!
Watched it again yesterday. Liked it. Thought bane was pretty good.
Thank you Ben Hramiak
Thank you Ben Hramiak
I gotta say I really enjoy this movie, I understand some of the criticism especially after the amazing second movie. That intro was hilarious :)
My thoughts exactly, what I said to my friend as we walked out of the movie was "that felt like a 3 hour trailer". You take the words right out of my mouth.
people were way too hard on this movie. People always point out the obvious plot holes, but if you think hard enough about it "The Dark Knight" had just as many plot holes as the third one did. Basically the jokers whole plan and how it unfolds is illogical and impractical if you really stop and think about it...and that's not me taking a shot at the dark knight, I loved it. As I love this one. All I'm saying is people who complain about the third one for having a plot with too many holes in it are hypocrites
I would watch "That's my Bane." Seeing Tom Hardy snap Adam sander's back would really funny.
Watching this whole hung over and every time they drink the beer I wanna upchuck
I like how Bane is like an old-school bad guy. You know, the big buff guy who can punch hard. Like a Chong Li from Bloodsport lol
The Dark Knight is probably my favorite movie, and Memento and The Prestige would both also be in my top 20. All this and I hate the Dark Knight Rises. It's dumb, nonsensical schlock that's all over the place.
Glad someone said positive reviews on this.
Unlike 90 percent of people who liked it but decided hating it was the hip thing to do.
Don't forget Brad Fiedel's music, look at the soundtrack of T2, it was brilliant and captured the tone perfectly.
Oh no! It's Neck-Beard Jay!
Anyone else come back to watch this after seeing The Batman? Just thought I'd look for a retrospective comparison point
Some of the points brought up here were in The Batman
I only just thought about this, but how did RLM get permission to film the house used in the establishing shots for Mr. Plinkett's? Do they own it? Can we visit it? Will it someday become the famous Plinkett museum?
I assume its their or one of their associates houses
JohnnyMarsBar I assumed he was joking, but the "house" they film in is just a set in a warehouse they own
I'd have to rewatch the video, but it popped into my head because they like, walked up to it in this episode if i recall..? Maybe? Idek, made me think it wasn't just some random house though.
It also just occurred to me that the one they walked up to was a completely different house that happened to look similar
It's the cocoon that Rich Evans was hatched from.
Watching this ages like fine wine
I LOVED the TV gig!
I’m in Brisbane, and the main problem with this city is the multiple different people called Bruce with surnames that end in -ane. It’s really confusing.
"STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE"
- everyone in the comments section
or "The movie has a LOT of flaws"
or "you think the movie has a Lot of flaws"
As someone who lives in a world of facts, I think this movie has a lot of flaws because it does.
The villan was a lot weaker in my opinion and there was some silly moments and plot holes but I think it makes up with it with a stellar soundtrack and great special effects.
Same thing happened in reverse for their Rogue One review. I think a certain percentage of RLM fans just have atrocious taste in films lol. As if anyone gives a shit what their opinion is and if they disagree with Mike and Jay. Noone cares.
Bane sounds like Sean Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy.
I’m pretty sure Tom Hardy got started in Band if Brothers.!or at least that’s the earliest thing I’ve seen him in.
Mike literally wants a Batman movie where it focuses more on him, but won't watch and review the new one.
He's only not watching it because it makes you cry.
"Oh, I ate it."
They have mellowed out over the years but it';s funny to see their weird contempt with each other that seems to come up when they try to one up each other on their jokes
Mike looks great
Bane sounds a lot like the Swedish chef.
9 years later Jay and Mike have personality swapped
The Dark Knight has the advantage of being the second film in a really solid trilogy. I feel like most people would agree that like the Dark Knight, films like the Empire Strikes Back (SW) and the Two Towers (LOTR) are the strongest films in their respective series. Seems like not having to get things kicked off as you must in the first movie of a trilogy or wrapping it up in the third makes the writing and production process a lot more fluid for the screenwriters and studio.
mad relevant in 2020 , ahaha
"isn't it about time they end this show?"
7 years later...
It’s a shame I see these guys making points that could be comparable to The Batman all over the place and yet they don’t review it out of a shitty spite joke
I really think they would like the interpretation of Bruce Wayne in the new batman, it's shame that their first impression of the movie was the joker interrogation, instead of watching scenes of the movie :/
@@gottemmen2849 too true my friend
