  • The Dark Knight trilogy comes to a close with easily the most divisive installment and possible Nolan's most divisive film period. The Dark Knight Rises brings in Bane and Catwoman as the legend of Batman comes to an epic close. Is this final chapter a deserving finale or an overambitious misstep?

    Cody: "What happens if I critize The Dark Knight Rises?"
    Bane: "It would be extremely painful."
    Cody: "That doesn't sound so bad."
    Bane: "For your channel."

    This movie's greatest strengths often get omitted for some reason. The dialogue is actually very well-written and Bane's speech in The Pit when talking to Bruce about the definition of hope and despair, is some of the best writing in a comic book movie period. It's also by far Nolan's best looking picture with some incredible cinematography and Zimmer's score utilized to perfection, make every scene vast and powerful. That scene when Batman gets chased along the Gotham streets by the police, to that epic Bat-theme, still gives me chills every time. As does the part when Batman tells Gordon that HE was his childhood hero. Wonderful scenes that almost never get mentioned.

    I agree. That was the part that bugged me the most about the whole movie. I can give them the benefit of the doubt on some things, but you don’t heal a protruding vertebrae with a punch in the back, rest, and push-ups. lol The Lazarus pit would have been a better way to rejuvenate his body. I know it’s not really Christopher Nolans style to do the supernatural “out there” stuff in his movies but it would’ve made more sense for healing Bruce Wayne.

    Is it me, or does it feel like, when it came time to do this movie, Nolan was already done with Batman? He proved with Inception that he now had the clout to make thinking man movies on a massive scale, but was obligated to finish off his take on Batman, so he just wanted to get it done so he could go on to movies like Interstellar and Dunkirk.
    In my opinion, this is one of Nolan's weaker films. Like Cody, I enjoyed it in the theater, but upon rewatching it several times since then, it feels overlong, overstuffed, has more than its fair share of plotholes, and an ending that I find to be really weak.

    • @spencermalley10
      @spencermalley10 Před 3 lety +1

      I like TDKR better than Interstellar and Dunkirk honestly. Of course he'd want to move on to different projects but when people say he only did this movie out of "obligation", There's just so many scenes (Alfred leaving, Bruce making the jump, the sewer fight with Bane, the plane sequence in the beginning) that really prove otherwise at least to me.
      Passionately disagree about the ending being weak, It's one of the best movie endings of all time to me.

    I quite liked it whenever Tom Hardy is on-screen, he has that great menacing voice. The supporting cast is good too and I like the way the movie ended with a very cool montage calling back to the first movie. Although one of the main weaknesses in addition to the contrivances is the really long running time. This is the weakest of the Nolan Batman movies and probably the death of Heath Ledger screwed up Nolan's original concept for the movie.

    @carterslade8771 Před 3 lety +6

    I rewatched this movie recently, and I found, much to my surprise, it centers partially around the power of faith as it pertains to myth, and spirituality.
    People citing the way Bruce's body is healed have a valuable point in a practical sense, but it's largely metaphorical. As Bane says "I was wondering what would break first, your spirit, or your body"! The only thing that breaks is his body. Whereas his spirit, nurtured by the myth of the girl who escaped the pit, lives on. But it isn't physical prowess, or even rage, that gets him out of the hole, but the erasure of his ego. He had been doing everything for him. But in the end, it is his desire to save others, his love of his city, his families dream, that allows him to escape the Lazarus pit (named after Lazarus, the man who in Christian myth Jesus brought back from the dead) and Batman is reborn, finally, not as a man, but as an idea. An object of faith. (Hence the logo on the bridge, and the orphan kid referring to him like a guardian angel).
    Bane being turned into a lapdog of sorts used to frustrate me too. But when we understand that Talia represents a miracle in his eyes, a kind of angel flying free to transform the world, you understand that he did what he did for his own ideology, and at that point in the story, felt that he had played his role in fulfilling Ras's destiny, which would, as one might say is true of the apocalypse, revolves around destroying the world so that it may be reborn, order restored. In a way, that is exactly what happens.

    I think Alfred helping Bruce get back into Gotham would be a great way to get around being stuck in a different country with no resources. Bruce recognizes that he is near Florence where Alfred takes his holidays. Alfred feeling guilty for turning his back on Bruce agrees to help to make up for giving up on him. Alfred uses his connections from his old MI6 career to help Bruce get back into Gotham City undetected. It also would have added more tragedy to Alfred crying at the graves of the Wayne family. Him believing that helping Bruce get back to Gotham led the last Wayne family member to his death.

He felt like he had nothing to lose and he had to be reminded of what he was fighting for and that's when he did it without the rope finding both his will to live and to fight again. But I can't really defend the whole punch him heal his broken back scene. Even if that somehow worked and yes months did go by with him trying to will himself back in shape yeah Nope. Gonna need a year at least. Probably more.

    Good review. I felt the same about Talia character. I felt that character specifically was not necessary. Other elements your right about the lack of realism (disc in back, lighting up the bridge), but those parts brought necessary emotion watching it. Disagree about the levitt character not being needed, it was an elemental character. Probably just needed some more dialogue about how he determined Bruce was Batman. But even the simple explanation I felt brought a unique connection to the characters. I find that a general theme in the film, realism gets pushed to the side for something far more emotional and interesting, like Alfred nodding and leaving when he sees him. It works because of the explanation of his dream in the first act.
    Overall I’m amazed at how much coherence the writers brought to the film, especially since it was so long, and the 3rd film ending a story.

Then going to see the movie with friends the next day on a Friday night and then going to see it again at 3 am because we were so full of energy. But I haven’t really watched it in full for 10 years, and honestly I find myself asking “why?” With majority of the decisions Nolan made. It’s not a great movie but obviously not bad in comparison to what DC has been putting out recently.

      @@barbarianorc8301 As much as needed to tell the right story. But there are plenty of examples of a film being a big hit and a franchise announcing a trilogy instead of simply a quality sequel. Jurassic World is a hit, so it's now a trilogy regardless if they even have enough story to tell.
      Look at the Terminator franchise. The last 4 films have tired to start trilogies. Why can't you just tell a great story? It's because they have an agenda to turn into a franchise and milk as much money as possible from us. Which is certainly their right, but the reason many films have been turned into trilogies has absolutely nothing to do with story. Terminator 1 & T2 are not trilogy bait. But now we can't make a Terminator film without setting things up for future films. It has to be possible to tell a Terminator story in 2 hours and not 3 films lol.
      And for the record I think Nolan's trilogy is an example of it actually working. But Jurassic Park Fallen Kingdom is the perfect example of stretching out to a trilogy when they don't have a quality story to tell. Hollywood has trilogy-itis.

I think my problems with The Dark Knight Rises is that Alfred burly came out in the movie and how did Bruce Wayne came back to Gotham right away if he was broke and was far away. And also Thalia's death was too fake. But the ending was a great ending to the trilogy where John Blake's real name was Robin and inherits the bat cave to become the new Batman.

    Something that really doesn't make any sense to me is when people say Bruce goes through the same arc twice here because he really doesn't. He doesn't build himself up to being Batman the first time, He just straps on a knee brace and pretends he never stopped. His struggles in the pit are where he actually builds himself back up to being Batman. It's not a retread at all. There's also no way in hell that Christopher Nolan would make this movie a two-parter, That's not the kind of director he is. It also really wouldn't serve the story in any real way honestly and it hurts Bruces character journey as well.
    TDKR pretty much holds the record for most nitpicked movie of all time.

      The nitpicking is ridiculous. And it's all you ever hear about because the most online people are the ones most inclined to leave comments or make videos. Because that's most of what you see on youtube and online generally people start to think that's how most people view it. But it's quite the opposite. It got great reviews from critics and audiences. And rightfully so. It's great.

    @Cody thanks for giving your thoughts on this. We felt it was for sure the weakest of Nolan's trilogy, and we did not like how little Gordon, Alfred, and Batman was in it and how they were in it, a few other grumbles aside it was a fun film but it felt it felt FAR SHORT of the original 2 classics. Thanks again for the upload.

    While DKR has some of the highest high's of Nolan's trilogy it also has some of the lowest lows. Despite some incredible moments, that 3rd act is problematic for me.
    Bane was such a great character. I think the final showdown and demise of Bane was disappointing.

    I always thought it'd be interesting if Heath Ledger had lived and his Joker was in this film, he'd be a sort of "ally" (as he's done in the past). He doesn't like being under anyone's control. And sees Gotham as his (and his playground) so if the storyline stays the same, I see Joker fighting Bane in the manner only Joker can. Chaos. Plus I'm sure he'd annoy Bane to no end lol. But he doesn't make it easy for Batman as well. Creating enough mischief that Batman has to operate on two fronts.

    I'm usually on board with your opinions regarding most things, and I'm not even a big defender of this movie, but Nah, that "put a coat on a young boys shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended" (paraphrasing) is SUCH a good line. I still get the same feeling when I think back to it. If he just said "Bruce Wayne" then flew away, that would be insanely bad and a missed opportunity to instead say something much deeper and memorable like what's in the movie. I can't let that one slide without saying anything. Bad take, for sure.

    This movie felt as though its script needed a few more drafts: it has a combination of wrapping up plotlines started in earlier films, as well as starting up new things that obviously won’t be continued (such as the introduction of Robin).
    My complaint about the sudden change of pace & tone at the two-hour mark of The Dark Knight somewhat applies here too, only it’s to virtually the entire film. It felt rather erratic in pace and self-important in its speechmaking (by both heroes and villains), with too many plot twists and reversals, and too many endings in its final twenty minutes or so; when I saw it in the theater (the only time I’ve watched it) I kept wondering if the film was done, only to realize that it wasn’t - this almost became a running joke.
    Having said all that, it has some good sequences of action and suspense, with the cast - as always - making the exposition and speechifying much more palatable than it ought to be. I don’t regret watching the movie but haven’t felt the urge to go back to it either.
    Am a big fan of Michael Caine; he’s made a huge number of movies over the last fifty-some years so there are plenty to choose. Looking back to earlier years, you’d probably like Get Carter (1971) and Mona Lisa (1986), which are pretty good crime movies; Zulu (1964) and The Man Who Would Be King (1975) are good period war pictures (the latter co-stars Sean Connery and Christopher Plummer, is directed by John Huston, and is based on a Kipling story, so it was hard to miss with that one!).

    Bruce getting back into Gotham isn't a plot hole, the script provided hints of how he did. Lucius Fox stated that there was 23 days left on the bomb to the special forces agents, Bruce escaping the next day and is dressed similarly to him traveling the world for 7 years poor in Batman Begins, then when he's brought to Lucius Fox he's told there's 12 hours left. Batman was later shown to be able to cross the frozen lake at night when he saves Gordon and lights up the batsignal, and in Begins it was also established that there are tunnels underneath Wayne Manor which would allow him to cross into the batcave and acquire the flashdrive for Selina Kyle.

      @@CodyLeachYT That's not what I'm getting at. There's the essential information given for character arcs, the world of Gotham/enough to understand what's happening, but there's certain things in all three films in the trilogy left so that people can piece together themselves. Given the hints provided in the film, there's no need for a sequence showing every mode of transportation that Bruce managed. I'm not saying this to be argumentative, wanting to clarify things that could be confusing and why that was done. In Toy Story; they don't explicitly state why Buzz freezes when he doesn't know he's a toy- but given the logic shown in-film, it makes sense why since he considers humans dangerous for their size and to blend in with the other toys. Agree to disagree though.
