Is the Dark Knight Rises good or bad?

[Uzumaki Goku]

This movie....

Without a doubt, it's the least best of Nolan's trilogy, undeniably.

I find the first act to be really slow and then the more I think about Bane's plan, the more it falls apart... (like how does Batman get back into Gotham after its locked down?)

I do like the scene where Bane reveals the truth about Harvey Dent... that was well-paced and executed well.

 

[Ocean Bones]

Its a good movie with bad gifs

 

[LewieP]

Bad movie with some good scenes.

 

[entremet]

It's so so.

 

[Mona]

 

[Slackerchan]

It's a good movie. Just don't stare at it too long looking for flaws because you will find them.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Has moments that make it the best, and moments that make it the worst.

 

[Heynongman!]

It's neither good nor bad. It's pretty mediocre, which is worse imo.

 

[quesalupa]

I quite enjoy it

 

[Parthenios]

It's the only movie that had large enough plot holes/contrivances that I was thinking about them in real time during my first viewing (usually I'll notice one when thinking about a film later or talking about it online).

Outside of that, I don't think it's a bad or poorly made film. I liked Bane.

Broad strokes it's fine I suppose but ultimately all logic, good film making, common sense goes out the window far too often making it a bit shit and for them to be so obvious it just grates immensely.

 

[Era Uma Vez]

It's a weird one, that's for sure.
It's an okay movie, but not the type of "it was meh, it had a passable story, it had passable action, yada yada" but more like, the average of it's parts make it okay...
It had good moments, it had bad moments, it had badass moments, it had "so bad that it's just bad" moments, most scenes had great pacing, but the movie's pacing as a whole was a mess...
So, it's more of a rollercoaster of good and bad, than a flatline of meh.

You're not really supposed to think too hard about the mechanics of the plot. You can if you want to, but it will frustrate and annoy you. Movie is more a conceptual portrait of Batman being burned out and figuring out his place in Gotham.

 

[Speevy]

It is the logical conclusion of what would happen if you made another Dark Knight-style movie without Heath Ledger's performance.

 

[NinjaGarden]

It's pretty good and also kind of a mess.

 

[Rockets]

On its own it's average, if not mediocre. As a follow up to TDK? It's hot garbage

 

[Chopchop]

It's entertaining, but not as good as the first two.

IMO it goes too far in ignoring common sense to force out "big moments" that the movie wants to do. All three Nolan Batman movies do this to an extent, but TDKR does it way more, and is too egregious about it.

Nolan Batman movies try to go for this very dark and serious air, but TDKR crosses its own lines so often that it instead comes across as a popcorn flick.

 

[chuckddd]

Yes.

 

[Weiss]

Pretty bad.

 

[Jencks]

It's messy but still entertaining. Don't think too hard about it and it's enjoyable.

 

[JehutyRunner]

It's a movie I enjoy and think is good, but Marion Coultiard's death scene...

😬😬😬

 

[Wrapped in Black]

Overall it's a good comic book movie. Just kinda bloated and not as memorable as its predecessor.

 

[N64Controller]

Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA

 

[RailWays]

Decent ending to a trilogy that peaks on it's second film.

 

[Nola]

It's alright.

For me, like with a lot of post Prestige Nolan movies, he plays with themes and ideas that are a lot more interesting than he can actually execute. His writing tends to drag down his directing.

And in this case, it feels very much like a film that was more slapped together than most, which probably has to do with the death of Heath Ledger throwing off their original intent for the third movie.

It's very true how similar both films are and one actor draws you in so much you forget it's just as bad at times.

 

[greengr]

Movie collapses even with a tiny bit of thought but its a fun time.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

It's bad and I noticed the bad right there in the theatres, not through repeated viewings of gifs and such.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Its fine, but of significantly lower quality than the other two movies in its trilogy.

Yes

 

[Christmastree55]

Good but not great

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

The only good thing about it is the memes, terrible movie.

 

[darz1]

It's bad

 

[RedVejigante]

Ill be generous and say that taken as part of a larger trilogy, despite all its flaws and plotholes, it's a decent enough conclusion to the story and themes of a larger story. That being said, as a kinda-sorta adaptation of the Knightfall storyline? It fucking sucks. Still waiting for Real Bane to appear onscreen.

 

[BossAttack]

Good. Real good, just short of great. Its ambition exceeds its reach, but it's better than the vast majority of supe films.

 

[Sacrilicious]

It's okay but not great. Doesn't come close to the heights of TDK.

 

[El-Suave]

It's good and if you could tweak a few key scenes a bit it would be undeniably great for me.

 

[Maple]

It's the worst of the trilogy, but superior to many DC movies we've been getting lately.

 

[Kyoufu]

It's great. Hardy's incredible performance as Bane and one of Hans Zimmer's best scores.

 

[Emergency & I]

I remember giving the film a lot of criticism at release at the old place and people were upset by it. It hasn't aged well at all either.

 

[FTF]

Pretty good.

 

[RedVejigante]

Also, it's weird anti occupy-wall street/protest movement, pro cop bent has aged like sour milk.

 

[bombermouse]

It was all downhill from the first movie.

Well.. one of the more subtle things Nolan did throughout his trilogy was make the GCPD less corrupt... I mean in Batman Begins, Batman even says Gordon is "one of the few" good cops.

 

[Waggles]

It's genuinely bad.

very mockable scenes make it fun.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Terrible movie, bad Batman movie.

 

[Khanimus]

It's messy and has aged worse with time.

Frankly the whole trilogy has.

 

[greengr]

This thread reminded its inevitable we are gonna get Joseph Gordon-Levitts Batman in some multiverse bs cameo/supporting role in the next decade.

 

[Lebron]

Trash Batman movie, Trash Nolan Movie

Okay DC movie

 

[BanditoMac]

No poll? I thought it was decent and wouldn't mind if it's playing in the background. A bad movie to me is Suicide Squad and it was so much better than that thing.
