Am I truly insane at this point?
I was watching DKR yesterday and I haven't rewatched it since seeing it in theaters. The film has huge huge issues:
- The action choreography is laughable.
- Some of the dialogue is just ridiculouso
- That death scene so bad
- Cops rushing heavily armed terrorists ummm what are you thinking gents?
But... I am still so completely engrossed in the film and the outcome in a way that I haven't been to any degree with any other superhero movie since. Bale is excellent. Alfred is amazing (I even buy him leaving Bruce/Batman). Bane is perfection. The TWIST is excellent and came out of nowhere. Catwoman is better than I would have ever thought possible. Her first action scene in the bar is great choreography and it makes me wonder why everything else is just so bad. Joseph Gordon is also handled really well and the final payoff with him as Robin again is just a great reveal.
The buildup to Batman fighting Bane is the most important action piece of the film and it thankfully doesn't disappoint. The dialogue in that scene. "Lets not stand on ceremony here...Mr Wayne" and how he systematically dismantles Batman is heartbreaking.
Bruce in the pitt working up the strength to get out while Gotham crumbles. The music - CHANTING RISE - That gives me chills every time.
The end with Alfred thinking he failed to save him only to see he didn't later on just ends the movie on a nice high note. I don't know. Am I crazy guys?
