The movie tries so much to tie elements from the first and second movies with the events of this one just for the sake of having a big conclusion, but it was not necessary at all, making it too long and slow paced. Batman is supposed to be an a$$ kicker so you would expect that the movie has lots of fights, but nope; it has only 4-5; and the fighting performance of Christian Bale sucks, he is way to slow. The first Batman vs Bane fight was like..."ook, mmm....thats all?" Batman may not be as strong, but he has way more experience so I expected a better fight. Bane in the comics defeated Batman because Bane was HUGE!! but now that he is a common mortal, the fight should have lasted more, and should have portrayed the difference of the abilities between the 2 characters. And the last "plot twist" was really stupid. It was not necessary at all, because the story by that point did not needed that to make it more interesting; in fact I think that it even makes the whole story even worst. It seems that the director wanted to have a plot twist somewhere so he just put whatever came to his mind. It was very dissapointing. Too long, too slow paced, story was not good enough, characters are represented in a weird way, fights sucked. The only way this movie could be a 10/10 for some is if they have been HYPER HYPED for the movie, so they are "OMG, OMG, OMG", and everything shown has the effect of LSD on them. As an action movie per-se, it was not bad, but not great. The good elements were the big explotions, some moments that pretend to be epic, a good soundtrack that repeats itself over and over again, cool gadgets, beautiful actresses, and the moment when Batman has the will to step up to the challenge. For me it is a 6/10 |
The film didn't have to try at all to tie elements from preceding entries. The storyline was very well thought out and had 3 or 4 flashbacks of Bruce Wayne in his childhood. The thing I'm most surprised about is how well done Bane's back story was, but then...it wasn't Bane and it didn't matter because it still set the tone while still playing with your mind. It's a Christopher Nolan movie.
I can see why you'd think it was slow paced but it's OK for a movie to take the pace a bit slower, just so long as its not dull which this movie never in a heartbeat was.
Batman is not supposed to be an @$$kicker. He's an idea meant to enforce law for the good of the people. He doesn't just go around kicking random people's butt for the sake of it. Instead he gets broken, picks himself back up, escapes an impossible situation, risks his life in so many moments; all in the name of what the bat-suit stands for. That's Batman.
About Batman being slow. Bane doesn't feel any pain. The more times you hit him the faster you wear yourself out. The more shots you take the more chances you miss and the more punches you miss the more energy you use up considering it takes up twice the amount of energy to miss a punch than to hit your target. Your logic about hitting Bane faster doesn't add up since the punches wouldn't affect him and we all know Batman's rule about guns.
Nobody cares for a comparison between a comic book and a movie. Everyone knows most things won't match and that's ok because Bane in TDKR was AMAZING!!!
The plot twist at the end made complete sense to me. If you backtrack everything Talia did in her storyline everything adds up. You have to have that conclusion to a character or why have that character at all??? It was very well executed.
The only reason why someone would give this movie a 10/10 is if they thought it was a 10/10, no reason to look beyond it. Its actually quite easy to accept an opinion if you try just as I have accepted yours.
