The Dark Knight Rises

The thing I hate about truck sequence you can see the smoke from the explosion.

Same here. I mean, if you're going to digitally remove the damn telephone pole you had to shoot out the bottom of the truck to flip it... why not remove the gases from the explosion?

At work so can't click on too many links, but is this the "Fatman on Batman" podcast or the second part of it that is actually the new episode of "SmodCast"? I've listened to the F.O.B episode this morning while working....Damn, don't ever hire me. I'm such a bad employee. I'm on the clock right now!!!

Too long to summarize, but he's just talking about the movie (with a lot of spoilers), actually he talks about all the Batman movies.Here's part 2:http://smodcast.com/episodes/the-dark-knight-redux/

I see. I guess I was just wondering what he thought about the film, overall

He said there was some minor details which he did not like, but overall he loved it and thought it was great (and he even cried a bit).

For me:

The truck sequence in TDK was better than the aerial stuff in TDKR.

The Bane fist fights in TDKR were better than any of the fights in the previous two films.

I enjoyed seeing Batman brawl with someone and not win. The camera lingered to highlight the strain and hopelessness he endured, and his screams of frustration were the icing on the cake. This wasn't a Matrix-esque ballet, this was brutal and unpretty.

Even though we saw it in the trailer, I fucking LOVE that shot of Bane ripping off the mask and walking away with it. Pure decimation.

Cool, thanks.

The choreography in TDKR's hand to hand fighting is so much better than TDK. This is clear when you consider in TDK, there are several scenes when people are waiting to be hit, especially in Hong Kong. It's clear Hardy and Bale put a lot of work in trying to make the fights look as convincing as possible on screen. And of course, Catwoman moved as well as could have been expected in the suit during her brief two fight sequences.

I thought Catwoman's fight scenes were choreographed very nicely. She used finesse and speed and a dirty fighting style rather than some unrealistic brawling.

I don't think decimation is the word you're looking for.

What word am I looking for then?

So Bruce sets up everyone for life except super magic chiropractor from the pit. Nothing, nada for that dude? Way to go Bruce.

I'll probably go two more times in real IMAX, thus TDKR would break my record (3) for most theater viewings (I'm not usually a repeat offender)

Well he did presumably gain his freedom.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Yeah, he threw down the rope didn't he?I still have to LOL at fishnets' description as Hell on Earth as a dream prison. It's so true. Things really must have changed a lot after Talia escaped.
