@PRPclYSXoIpoTW Lol! You're kidding!?! She gave Battleship (based from a board game) thumbs up! Why does she insist on being inconsistent with her reviews? Someone needs to explain to her that this Dark Knight Series wasn't meant to be a feel good story about Bruce Wayne/Batman; reason being he spends his time fighting bad guys. I think she should retort to watching Tim Burton @ Joel Schumacher's campy child-like versions of the caped crusader; I liked Tim Burton's BATMAN, the rest however, were just flat-out Horrible!!!

@mbrandon11 Okay? So because I post a review by Christie Lamire you want to sit in front of your cp and talk sh*t; and it always the ones who don't have the balls to say to someones face. And uh, where in that post did I claim to have seen the movie and hate the movie? Tell me! Point it out! I simply posted her review to get you're guy's opinion on here. My advice to you, you had better slow your roll before I do it for you!!!

@mbrandon11 You sound like you might have seen it, unlike the ther person who sounded like they just straight out didnt like anything about it. And you gave enough to make me excited while not writing as much as the other

@addictionnonfatel you cant say that the Joker is crucial to make every Batman film great, sure Heaths Joker was amazing and the Joker is the best Batman villian but every Batman villian has their own great story and Bane is the best choice to follow up on in terms of meeting Batmans intellectually and physicaly

@addictionnonfatel What's the story?
When dangerous masked rebel Bane (Hardy) puts Gotham under threat, the reclusive Batman/Bruce Wayne (Bale) comes out of hiding. Meanwhile a mysterious cat burglar (Hathaway) and a beautiful business associate (Cotillard) come into his life.
What did we think?
Epic from the get-go, the final part of Nolan's Batman trilogy may just be his best, combining spectacular action set pieces with thrilling plot developments and thorough characterisation - something blockbusters so often lack.
The story's more complex than it may sound, going back into the pasts of various key characters and examining Batman's own personal demons as only Nolan can.
Aside from a few choice one-liners, Nolan definitely has his trademark long face on. While The Dark Knight Rises is very entertaining, this is no escapist comic book romp, taking a fairly serious look at life choices and mortality through its tragic hero who's driven on by anger and heartbreak.
Bale remains the perfect choice for this tortured soul, looking more world-weary than ever out of his empowering costume and only smiling in a approximately one scene (well, Cotillard would do that to anyone).
Lightening the tone a touch is Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, not once referred to as Catwoman but clearly a feline figure complete with skin-tight catsuit and makeshift ears (sometimes goggles, other times a decorative hair piece).
Suitably slinky, she drops her voice an octave when the bad kitty kicks in and the film's all the more fun for it - you miss her when she's not onscreen.
Still, there are many interesting characters who deserve space, not least policeman Blake (Gordon-Levitt), who finds common ground with Bruce Wayne and becomes increasingly key to the plot. Gordon-Levitt is perfectly understated as the principled everyman who rises to the occasion without fuss or showmanship. If Nolan's Inception pushed Gordon-Levitt towards the leading-man A-list, this could be the final nudge he needs.
Cotillard, meanwhile, is a charismatic presence, if also a little sidelined by the male characters. Tom Hardy looks suitably buff and menacing in his creepy mask, even if his voice sounds like Brian Blessed wearing Darth Vader's headpiece. Meanwhile the seasoned supporting cast are solid as ever - Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine among them.
The movie also looks and sounds terrific, with a dramatic score from Hans Zimmer and spectacular effects (the Batmobile gets ever-interesting). There are other, ballsy elements of The Dark Knight Rises that are even more worthy of a mention - but you're just going to have to discover those for yourself.

Her punishment must be more severe, same goes for Marshall Fine, and Christopher Tookey, or let's just call him Turkey. I'm not going to get turned off by this movie by a few weasels.

@superman81 Googled her name, redirected to RT. Her review has some comments. Personally, I would be shocked if Rises doesn't get a single rotten. Not every comic book movie is flat out perfect. it's always good to read why they disliked it. In her case, it read more like she was building up expectations that were never met. Rises can drop two 75% for all I care and it won't stop me
