Just saw the movie this morning. Bane is a total badass. His voice is perfect. I don't like how Batman was eventually able to beat him in essentially a plain physical fight at the end though. I think they should have stuck with the precedent that Bane is invincible in 1 on 1 combat but Batman could have beaten him with a clever hole in his plan. Would have been hard to implement though since Bane has genius-level intelligence and impeccable strategy. Overall, I think TDK was a little better but TDKR is a great movie.

Totally disagree. You didn't get goosebumps when Batman started beating his ass? Some of the most satisfying punches in film history. I almost did a fist-pump in the theater.
 
Deadbolt or any other guys who read the comics, has Batman defeated Bane in any other way than to disconnect the venom, then beat his ass?

In B:TAS, that's the only way it happened, usually with the help of electrocuting through the connection to the back of his head. The most satisfying "Batman" versus Bane fight was one in which Bruce Wayne was under Brainiac's control and Superman filled in for Batman and just beat Bane senseless.

Bane kicks his addiction to venom after Knightfall (and relapses and kicks it, wash rinse repeat) and then alters between villain and anti-hero for the past couple of decades (he even fights along side Batman for a while, thinking that Thomas Wayne was his father as well). In his original defeat, the Azrael version of Batman cuts the venom supply to his brain and then beats him pretty badly as he suffers withdrawal.

yeah, when you realized he was just going for the mask, it was AWESOME. like when rocky was fighting clubber lang and dodged all the big blows and got the jabs to the FACE in.
 
Just saw the film last night. Any quibbles I have are just that: quibbles. For me, the film was the best paced of the trilogy.

That dumb bomb was my biggest quibble though. Seriously? A timebomb? This all comes down to a timebomb?
 
I don't know what all of you who were disappointed were expecting, but I can't think of a more perfect way to have wrapped up a Bruce Wayne story than this. There's an insane amount of nitpicking in this thread (Bane's voice! Not enough Talia!) which seems to prove that the film was so well done, people are looking for little bits to criticize.

Yeah. A nuclear time bomb is pretty cheesy even if it's an unstable weaponized clean energy source.
 
If the goal was to wipe Gotham clean and they knew the bomb would go off anyway, why not just blow it and not risk failure?

Talia stayed undercover for months, just in case Batman showed up?

Yes. Part of her goal was to kill the man responsible for her father's death.

I get what you guys are saying, but the thematic value of something created for good being ultimately corruptible, unstable, and dangerous fit really nicely with the story arc of the trilogy.
 
anyone trying to criticize logical fallacies in a film based on a comic book is missing the point.

there were some in the Dark Knight too(What did the Joker and his Henchmen do in Bruce's penthouse after Batman jumped out of the building to save Rachel? Did they just leave and not wreck anything?), but I don't see anyone complaining about those.

I assumed the cops showed up, and they ran to escape. Or bats grappled up, and ran them off.
 
All these complaints (people just show up, passage of time is not well represented, etc.) are always criticisms levied against Nolan films. He has such a different way of editing his films that it can be hard to pin down. His films are very naturalistic in this way. His scenes never start at the very beginning, most of the time they pick up right in the middle of a scene, creating a movie that, though very long, seems to fly by because we are always thrust right into the middle of stuff going on.
 
Change of topic briefly - I'm really looking forward to Man of Steel. I love the cast (Crowe, Costner, Adams, Shannon, Fishburne, Meloni). I'm trying not to get TOO hyped because of the previous turd that I still can't watch all the way through, but damn this movie should be awesome. SHOULD be.
