Moviedweeb Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 TDKR is leagues above POTC:OST, Episode One, and Alice in Wonderland. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) If Nolan didn't make Inception we probably wouldn't even be debating the idea if the ending's a dream. It's congruous with nothing in the film or entire trilogy. If Bruce was dead then who left Gordon the shiny new bat signal? Why did we need that scene? Or why were we constantly reminded about the autopilot function in the Bat and then told at the last minute that Bruce fixed it? The ending of Inception is me using my imagination and putting the pieces together and figuring out how both theoretical endings to the story (dream vs. reality) could exist. And Nolan's master stroke in that film is that they both work beautifully and the question makes sense thematically as well (real or not, Cobb is finally home). You can like or dislike TDKR all you want but it's not open-ended whatsoever. Edited August 11, 2013 by Gopher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vc2002 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 To even question whether the ending of Inception is real or dream, is a perfect example of over-examination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Easily superior to any big budget blockbuster put out since TDK.Lol you and the 4 people that liked this comment are seriously delusional if you think that's the case. TDKR isn't even Nolans best film since TDK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squaremaster316 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 TDKR is leagues above POTC:OST, Episode One, and Alice in Wonderland. Agreed, the only films in that ten-figure club that are on par or better are TDK, Skyfall, ROTK and... nope, that's it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Toy Story 3 is ten leagues above TDKR as the best caper of a trilogy. In fact, Toy Story is the perfect trilogy ever if Sergio Leone would have never existed. Edited August 11, 2013 by dashrendar44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squaremaster316 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Toy Story 3 is ten leagues above TDKR. Rehash of Toy Story 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 TDKR is a rehash of Batman Begins and a poor man's TDK. So what's your point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squaremaster316 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Seeing as how TDK hits a higher mark than Toy Story 2, being a "poor man's" comparison is no big deal. TDK > TS2 TDKR > TS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) TS3 does not have stupid plot holes and stupid plot contrivances which plagued TDKR's writing. TS3 ending and incinerator scene are more emotionally resonant than Nolan's whole filmography which is not hard because Nolan handles emotional connection like an iceberg drifting all alone in Antarctica. Bruce and Rachel "love story" is so devoid of any genuine convincing and believable chemistry, it's painful to watch.

Squaremaster316 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 This over any scene in the Toy Story series as far as raw emotion goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) It's Razzie territory. That old man's accent is hilarious beating your head with Batman Begins mantra all over again with a sledgehammer "The feeeeeaarrr Of Deeeth". And those prisoners cheerleading Bruce. I couldn't stop laughing. Oh yeah, that so called "Hell hole on Earth" was Holiday Inn with electricity, HD TV, magical physiotherapist that heals broken spine with a simple rope for grown men with climbing activity as part of the package deal so you can escape any time you want through the unguarded and free exit. (Writing this, I still can't fathom how laughable it is). Edited August 11, 2013 by dashrendar44 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 This over any scene in the Toy Story series as far as raw emotion goes. Out of all the scenes in TDKR and this is what you found the most emotional? The Alfred scenes were far more emotional than watching someone climb out of a pit. Beside that scene was just ridiculously stupid and goes against the laws of physics. On his first 2 attempts he takes a run up and still can't reach the rock to climb out, but they take away his rope and he manages to jump further without a run-up at all? That is just physically impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'ma let you finish Squaremaster but Before Midnight and Toy Story 3 are the best trilogy cappers of all time. ALL TIME. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
