General TV/Movie/VideoGame Thread-Use Spoiler Tags for Spoilers!

just back after seeing it earlier today. I wasn't overly keen on it really. Like it was still a very good movie, but...I'll have to gather my thoughts on it, but unlike 1 & 2, I wasn't beaming leaving the theatre. I think maybe it lies in Bane overall, and wasn't overly hot on Catwoman either. I guess the story didn't grip me as much. The cameos were awesome. I wonder if Heath Ledger was still around if he'd've had a part. Talking to a mate, saying what if Heath Ledger was still alive, do you think he'd have a camero? He mentioned there'd probably be one shot of him just revelling in the chaos, making snow-angels from the ashes. Thought that would've been amazing! Would've been perfect. I agreed, I think Joker'd love the anarchy but he wouldn't be scheming with Bane, he'd be off on his own merry venture. Like he might've done the part of the judge - there were a lot of happy gasps said judge; and a nice round of applause after the film was done.

There was a lot more jokey lines in this one. I guess it's to counter the serious tone but i'm not huge on parodying lines from the first. I guess the tone was more depressed than dark & brooding, if that makes sense. i really liked how it tied into the first film; i just watched Batman Begins last night. Everything in a neat package, great call backs - great foresight

Catwoman - She was better than in Arkham City and better than I expected but my pants wouldn't be soiled if i heard she was getting a movie. Maybe it's because Bane's a 2nd tier baddie it's hard to take him that serious. Like he was booked strong in the movie but he didn't feel like a massive threat. Maybe it's screen presence or some knobby word for it but Joker's actions and words had so much more gravity to them. His old british accent was a bit hilarious though...and he was jobbed out pretty sharpish during the 2nd encounter. I guess Batman knew how to beat him easier. The first fight was pretty cool.

As a doctor I wasn't overly keen on the medical wizardry of fixing a broken back with a punch...what was Bane's deal for his mask again? That seemed a bit dodgy. Being able to jump farther 'if you really want to'? Even without Hogan as his physio he got back to better than full health in about a month wtf! (No Holds Barred reference) :P

The Lazarus pit was interesting but i'm not huge on stories told in flashback form. I thought it looked better in the trailer but it wasn't very maze-like in the film. I'm nitpicking but surely there's a smarter way to cross that gap in the wall. I also didn't like how people who weren't part of the League of Shadows knew who batman was, that they figured it out. That's a big deal but it was just tossed in there.

Overall I did enjoy the film, it was still really cool, but after seeing Batman Begins yesterday, it's definitely the worst of the three IMO. The story really rounded out Batman Begins so I was quite happy with that, all the pieces slotted together. It's still a......7.5-8/10 film but...I can't help but feel a bit let down by it. (Dark Knight is my 2nd favourite film). It wasn't as beautiful as the 2nd film, which I thought was absolutely gorgeous.

Anyone catch sight of the Pope?
