DaOmega_1 reviews "The Dark Knight Rises"

Not that it was slow... That it was inconsistent. Too little time was spent on things that could be seen as important. Like Bane's [rip] or Talia's endgame plan to flood the chamber and her subsequent [rip].

That's what I'm talking about. BALANCE. TDK had balance, to me. This isn't imbalanced enough to make me not like the movie (because I f*cking love this movie), but it's imbalanced enough to make me notice that at times, it is inconsistent.

I think he was asking you to elaborate on what was bad about Batman Begins pacing.


Also I dont understand how in the review your main problem of the pacing is mostly in what you call "the first act". Your main issue seems to be the lack of Batman in the first 45 min, it's what you emphasize most when you refer to "pacing".

Though in this last statement when asked to elaborate on the "pacing" again, you seem to emphasize multiple issues in the ending/climax which you really didn't mention much of before besides Marion's performance, you described the ending being pretty PHENOMENAL and utter BLISS, but now all your pacing issues are[..]igned to the ending.

So I'm just confused because originally you said the first 45 min was the worst and the last 45 min was the best.

Now you dont mention anything about bad pacing in the first 45 min but blame it all on the last 45 min.

Marion Cotillard ruined a good chunk of the movie with her annoying accent and her phoned-in performance. She pissed me off soooo bad.

I never said the pacing was "bad" in the first 45 minutes, I felt that the movie was trying so hard to cover all these bases, and introduce all these characters in those scenes, it felt like there wasn't enough time given to that, yet strangely it felt a little slow. There are things that can be done to rectify this. It's not that it's "bad"... It's that it's too little given to too much.

The last 45 minutes ARE utter bliss... when I was watching it. Walking away from the movie, I thought about things like Bane's [rip] that kinda bothered me, but not enough to make me dislike where the movie the climax (which is still sensational).

As for Batman Begins, I thought the pacing was rather erratic in a way that didn't feel organic.

" The problem has nothing to do with the film's darkness, yet has more to do with the film's pacing. There is a lag in the first act, and while there are interesting things happening and the performances are wall-to-wall excellent, it still feels like the film is missing something for the first act "

No way does this movie seriously deserve a 9 out of 10 the way you put it, though. I mean, pacing issues aside and everything else, how do you explain the gaping plot holes?


How did Bruce make it all the way back to Gotham with no money?

How did he get out of the cave with no knee brace?

Nolan still can't really do fight scenes involving more than 2 people. The big climactic showdown between the cops and the mercenaries was UNDERWHELMING because all the extras sucked. You could see that when they're supposed to collide... everyone is just standing around like "uh, do I grab you or you? okay, be careful, i hurt my toe."


I personally would give it a 9 out of 10 and that's just off the strength of Tom Hardy. IMO this was definitely HIS movie.

I never said you said it was "bad"


but in the review you said it was the problem




then you tell TH35 the movie has pacing issues once again, he asks you where ??

then you answer with a bunch of stuff in the ending such as Bane's [rip], Talia's [rip], Talia's plan and mention nothing about the original "first act" which you initially placed all the blame on.


It's just confusing that what where you pinpointed the pacing problem at first was not mentioned the second time around at all, and what you mentioned as the film's AMAZING shining moment is where you said all the flaws were the second time around.

she's a good actress don't blame her for that... blame the direction

How was Bane getting k!lled off by catwoman sloppy? He was getting his[..] handed to him the previous 5minutes by Batman. Talia blindsided Batman so Bane got blindsided also, I call that justice. Bane had already been defeated when he got shot up.

It was aa reply in general not specific to anyone.

Bane was defeated what would have been been next is Batman continually kicking a broken Banes[..] for another minute then hogtying the mofo if there was no interference, it wouldn't go well with the film. How would u have prefered for it to end? I think it was good how it went. Bane was broken(via the mask and him squirming) by that point. The point isn't [rip] nor its method, it is the defeat.
