The Dark Knight Rises

[ddddeeee]

Actually one of my favorite lines in the movies is from Batman Begins."He's here.""Who?""The Batman!"I don't know why I like it, I just do.

Because Cillian Murphy is amazing.

Who's the hat guy you guys are talking about?Also, I think it was collider or something but I read that the original cut is 4 hours long.

That doesn't really mean much. Most first cuts are very very long; they're intended to show everything that's available, not everything that makes a good movie. So scenes tend to play long, scenes are included even if they're redundant, extra coverage is given to action scenes, etc. It's not what you'd consider close to a finished piece.

Oh I know about, I just want to see the original cut

[Impact]

Most movies have hours of cuts.

[bballman24]

I know that they do, a lot of stuff happens in the editing room. Recently, TASM had their most crucial story cut from the final cut. I just want to see what these movies cut.

Hat Guy see my profile pic. He was in the scene after the Gotham bank heist. Where Batman gets supposedly cornered in an alleyway and poof! The Bat appears! Cue hat rising.

There's a behind the scenes pic of a shirtless Bruce standing in front of the batsuit that I don't think was in the film. If anyone knows of any other cut scenes I'd be interested to hear them.

The football stadium is different in trailer 2. In trailer 2 we follow the player who is running for his life whereas in the film we get more of an aerial view, and we don't see the football player look back in horror and drop the ball.

Never-mind: that moment actually is in the film, just before he meets Selina in the subway after banging Miranda.Anyway, saw the film a second time. My problems didn't disappear - pretty much every aspect to do with the bomb macguffin as well as the too-out-there-for-Nolan's-world Batwing - but the plot is way more digestible on a repeast viewing. TDKR might be the most visceral superhero film ever made, for better and (sometimes) worse.If this thread is anything go by I might be the only person who actually prefers the first half to the second, though.

I think you are the only person. Not that there's anything wrong with it. The first half was very strong IMO. Second half was just so intense.

FILM CRITIC HULK has chimed in on the film. Another excellent article:http://badassdigest.com/2012/07/26/film-crit-hulk-smash-hulk-vs.-the-dark-knight-rises/

At this point I've kind of accepted that I have a natural aversion to BIG ACTION. It's why I enjoyed TA but don't feel compelled to see it again and why I know it's a complete waste of time for me to ever watch a Transformers movie.

Gee, this movie really sucked. Rex Reeds sums it up very well:"The Nolan brothers seem to be making it up as they go along. Not one character is developed beyond a flat, one-dimensional cardboard paper-doll construct without heart and soul, not to mention flesh and blood. Not one of these distractions invades the plot for any purpose except to extend the running time.""Turning a mosh pit of mystical comic book gimmicks into a money pit of metaphysical mumbo jumbo, Christopher Nolan gives new meaning to both DUI and DWI—“Directing Under the Influence” and “Directing While Intoxicated”—while raking in millions."http://observer.com/...istopher-nolan/In my eyes this is the SM3 for the Batman trilogy. At least SM3 war more entertaining.

The review from this Hulk guy nails it quite well, too. TDKR somehow has a lot of potential and interesting ideas but the Nolan brothers obviously didn't care too much and just wanted to finish the damn script ASAP.

Ah yes, Rex Reed. He's a laugh.

I emphatically disagree with this sentiment.
