  2. Completely agree. If Ledger hadn't given that incredible performance, Hardy's would easily be my favorite. On top of that, Bane as a villain, definitely outshines all others in the trilogy, save the Joker, which, IMO, is still very nearly matched. He was just as menacing and brutal as the Joker. Hardy certainly deserves much more praise than he's been getting.
  3. Honestly, I think the WOM from the GA is that it's great, just not as excellent as TA and TDK. The bleak nature of the film sure doesn't help it's BO prospects either.

  5. Completely agree. This was his best performance in the trilogy.
  6. Not at all. I loved the score. It really elevated the final hour of the film.
  7. I'm out of likes, so I'll just say that I completely agree with this opinion, including previously being in the BB camp.
  8. That was an incredible finale to the trilogy!Although I had rather high expectations for the film, they were thoroughly beaten. The renewed focus on Bruce was everything I had hoped for, and Bale rose to the challenge, easily giving his best performance.The first fight between Bane and Batman was really brutal and an extremely memorable scene. Despite a slightly uneven first act and a few minor flaws, the quality was quite consistent throughout. The last act is definitely better than both BB and TDK's, and the ending, particularly the last shot, is masterful.Although I'll need to see it a second time before writing a proper review, here are my tentative rankings of the trilogy:1.The Dark Knight Rises - 9.02.Batman Begins - 8.63.The Dark Knight - 8.4This is, without a doubt, the best SH film I've seen.

  13. I disagree completely. IM2 is the definition of forgettable mediocrity; at least TIH was rather enjoyable.

  19. This was a pretty good film. It had a classic adventure feel throughout that was thoroughly enjoyable. It tends to lose some wonder and energy going into the last third of the film due to the rushed nature of it. The acting throughout was decent, but inconsistent, particularly from Kitsch, who was much better in FNL. Of course, a large part of that could have been the lack of substantial character development and the occasionally messy script. The action is often breathtaking though, and the score by Giacchino is phenomenal. It's a shame the marketing was so terrible, because this is the best film of the year so far, and definitely left me with the impression that a sequel with a more focused script and a more confident Stanton could have made for a very improved second entry. Overall, an entertainingly good film that has some nagging problems throughout that restrain it from ever becoming great. 7.4/10

  21. Yes! The Artist was my favorite from last year. I would have also liked to see either Midnight in Paris or Tree of Life win, but that was never going to happen.
