OKAY


Just got back from watching it in IMAX and right now at this very moment........


To me, IMO, ......


TDKR is overall the better movie as a whole.


TDK had the best performance by far of the trilogy with Joker but the rest of the movie IMO was dull. Which gave it little replay value for me other than the joker scenes which I keep returning to watch. I haven't fully watched TDK since it was released, I watched it twice in theatres and a couple times on DVD and that was it. It blew me away when I first saw it but I realized quickly it was just because of intermittent scenes of Heath's iconic performance.

TDKR as a whole is just a more complete movie to me. Multiple storylines, multiple themes , and multiple intriguing characters all interwoven in a brilliant way. I found almost everyone in the TDKR interesting while TDK it was only the Joker I cared about. The acting and dialogue (outside of the joker) in TDKR also blew away TDK. Bale was better, Oldman was better, Caine was better, Freeman was better, everyone just brought their A-Game and everyone was given more depth. Then on top of that all the new comers did solid jobs a well.

The plot of TDKR is just overall a more beautifully polished piece of work due to it's ability to maintain a decent level of cohesiveness with such intricacy. Nolan also does an amazing job of maintaining a great balance of all the characters in the movie by[..]igning them all integral roles to the overall storyline. Even with so many characters he was able to utilize the limited screen time with each to est@blish their story, their motives, their emotions, and their significant connections to one another. There really were no loose ends here, pretty much almost every character had a very specific and unique way that they each contributed to the overall narrative.

I’ll admit on first viewing TDKR seems a bit scattered and all over the place because the grandness of it’s scope and non-stop action, giving TDK a more “focused” feel due to it’s more linear and concentrated storyline. Though I’m sure after you’ve seen it once, and are able to digest the movie as a whole, it only gets better with each viewing similar to certain albums that get better with time because everything they offer may be overwhelming at first

When you put this in perspective it makes you feel like the TDK is a very narrow and limited storyline where everyone is trying to fit in and shine but are unable to fully because of the limitation of space that the plot restricts. Everyone is trying to fit into one narrow hallway going from Room A straight to Room B and it’s very difficult for everyone to move besides Heath who is at the head of the pack. TDKR is like a two story atrium with multiple staircases and corridors intertwining and connecting to maintain a complex yet smooth flow where everyone is allowed to shine when it’s their turn to step into the center of the room as well as while you’re watching how their corridor connects with the others.

I think the grander, deeper, and more genuine scope of emotion in TDKR will also give it much more replay value to me than TDK. There just wasn’t enough of that in TDK.


I feel people are giving the edge to TDK because of Heath’s performance. If you take away The joker it k!lls over half of what makes the TDK so great IMO. That’s not the case with TDKR, of course anyone you take away is gonna hurt the movie a little since almost everyone’s role is integral to the overall story. Though it is a collective of a bunch of great characters all pulling their equal 10% of the story.


That’s just my 2 cents. Hate if you want.

That review was accurately worth only 2 cents.

even though you're annoying as !! and i don't like you, that was pretty funny.

That review was accurately worth only 2 cents.

I thought it was dope [pic]


I actually liked it so much I read it three times. [pic] [pic]



it's okay tho Stelo , I'm a fan of your unintentional trolling so do what you do playa [pic]

I'm still a fan of your impeccable ways of transferring your raw babble sprees in a flash into texts. [pic]

So we gon act like TDK didn't drag on for an unnecessary 45 minutes after the Joker was gone? [pic]

First off to reply to your comment in a civilized manner, I was not even comparing the two, I said bain was a better villain because he affected more people on a level that joker could not relate to ( nuclear terroisim,2012 threat???). the joker psch profile is indeed horrific, but a man who wields power with a strong backing is enough to frighten anyone when it comes to total annihilation. Also you are wrong for saying "Nolan's Joker", that was the joker many have seen in the comics for a long time in diff adaptations, it was the first time it was seen on the screen like that by mass audiences like yourself, but the people who are knowledge able of the batman lore, knew this is what it would take to portray the character right, and they rejoice that it was done that way.

All I was saying is that a better villain is not only one who can blow up a bunch of ish but also take away things from your life as well, things that you and I depend on (police,escape,electricity,safety form criminals,etc). you are really short sighted if you think my argument was based on violence or some other factor that is over the top

good day sir

damn.seems some people totally missed tha point of tha joker.

Did any of you read Knightfall? IMO it goes TDK>>Batman Begins>>> TDKR.. Im a Batman fan and didn't to much care for TDKR.. I don't get why you guys liked it so much... Thought it was very cheesy at some parts.. no way they even came close to TDK
