Nah, Nolan likes overly convoluted plots where as Bay doesn't even attempt to have a plot.

[The Nal]

In Nolan's case you're confusing "exposition to tense music" with "plot".

Neither director bothers with plots.

Saw Dark Knight Rises last night at the IMAX.

Thought it was really good. I'm not going to analyse it too much, I'm already weary of the opinions.

I'll go by my gut reaction and the feeling of people in the cinema, which was general enjoyment.

The only thing I'm gutted about now is that all we get now is a reboot.

As long as the reboot has Joseph Gordon Levit as Batman

[jump]

There's no reboot or at least for a while, Warner Bros are now trying to rush a Justice League movie into production because of how well Avengers did and now that Harry Potter has finished they need a new yearly franchise release with the DC back catalogue being it.

Although both Anne Hathaway & Nolan have both been saying that a Catwoman movie (set in The Dark Knight Rises world) should be made.

They gave the impression that Selina found her peace at last by vanishing with Bruce. A Catwoman movie would seem so cynical and forced now. To carry on would be as redundant and as pointless as the Men in Black or Matrix sequels. The story is over.

[The Nal]

Unless it's a prequel, her origin is never really fleshed out in the film.

Zero love for the Dark Knight Rises at the Oscar judges screening. They thought it was pretty poor.

Just realised something about TDKR.....

That pit, prison thingy - that's the Lazarus Pit. People go in broken, come out reborn, changed, stronger. Nicely re-imagined supernatural element there.

The cast of Machete 2 is insane, it has Mel Gibson, Lady Gaga, Charlie Sheen, Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba and Lindsey Lohan. I would love to see how that lot interact with each other during filming.

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Sounds like they've gone for a load of novelty actors, (fuck ups basically) in the hope of attracting celeb worshippers to see the film.

Charlie Sheen in particular. Fucking awful actor.

Great review

Completely agree with all of this.

Great review

[Purple Monkey]

"Big, clunky, loud, awesome thing"

Remove "awesome" and thats my review.

[jump]

Don't get me wrong I really enjoyed the film but it really lacks a few "wtf" moments like the last one, there's nothing to match the truck flip or the magic trick and even things like the Bat & the Bane fight were just ok even though they could/should of been brilliant.
