my brother dared to say that this is the worst nolan movie he had ever watched. i thought of it as a big clumsy machine trying to wade through too many characters and subplots. the script is problematic, which is a surprise because it was written by the nolan brothers. by the time the movie ends, and i ran a lot of nolan movies in my head, i thought, man you can't out do yourself. but then again, i can't think of a third installment that could top the second - think of the lord of the rings and the godfather trilogies.
the biggest problem with the movie is the mix of realism and comic book short cuts that nolan doesn't usually use in his previous films. this guy made inception (2010), i can't see why the dark knight rises has to be that clunky. the action sequences are not memorable, i don't care about the characters, bane is an uninteresting villain which means tom hardy was severely underused. his back story and cotillard's talia are unsubstantial (he was her protector? thats all?!), anne hathaway being anne hathaway and has no chemistry with bale's bruce wayne.
i could go all day. if only nolan is micheal bay, but he is not, so i still think he could come up with something better.
yea, i am giving up super hero movies. there just too much hype on this movie. Is joseph gordon-levitt casted in this movie cos he is too much look alike Heath ledger???
ReplyDeletehey th! if gordon-levitt was casted for that purpose, he is not filling ledger's big shoes. his character was rather out of place in a nolan movie - a "good (uninteresting) person" with no agenda.
