The Dark Knight Rises Is a Great Movie; You Just Put Impossible Expectations on It

When the first batch of reviews came in for The Dark Knight Rises, the Internet did what it does best: flamed the bad reviews. But then some more negative reviews came in. Then the movie launched and some people were going “wait, it isn’t that good after all.” (Cinema, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises)

There was some scenes that could've been improved, things that could've been done to make the movie better, like maybe show Batman a bit more? I swear I heard somebody cheer when Batman finally showed up, maybe there was just too much going on. Either way, I loved the movie, just like the other two.

I agree I though this was the best ending of a saga I have ever seen. I also liked how it was not all about Batman.

My only grumble of it is I think it should of been longer as some of the story jumped abit in the time lines but I did not once think in the 2 hour and 40 mins this is crap.

I still think TDK was a better film but only because Heath Ledger played his heart out as the Joker and stole the show. But by no means did anyone in TDKR play a bad part everyone was amazing again.

I agree it was better than DK. I only say this because Bane stood toe to toe with Batman from the beginning to end. Nolan and Hardings version of Bane makes him the best villain of the series.

Not only that it had a excellent ending

People are nit-picking the movie too much. I don't expect Heath Ledger, and I don't find his performance to be the greatest of all time, but I think his performance was above great. He got into that character like no other could.

For the Dark Knight Rises, (seeing it tonight at 11pm)
I expect to see BANE and Batman and CATwoman. That's it.
What they do in the movie is what is going to set my judgement straight, not The Dark Knight.

The fans are crazy about it right now, so I'm holding myself back from saying too much. Its a fantastic movie, but it COULD be better. Its one of the very FEW times I wish there was two parts, simply because it pulled a Spider-Man 3. So much going on, so little time, which made some of the development on several things jump a little, even with its long length time.

"felt like spiderman 3" ouch that's got to be on the list of worst insults to give a film? ;) No I know what you meant it's odd isn't it that usually people complain films are too long but it actual could have done with being longer; I do think though that had it had to parts people would've complained about that :/ maybe not either way we shall never know now :p however it was a brilliant film :)

Think moviegoers who have seen the previous one ( The Dark Knight ) and have bought a DVD and/or Blu-Ray copy of that film are going o expect "..Rises" to have everything of that and more..

..it's like if you're a gamer, these comments are the same ones we see posted about Uncharted 3 not being as good as Uncharted 2.

Expectations always increase as a series goes on and its hard to actually deliver on those expectations. That said I think Rises did a damn good job of closing out a great trilogy.

And Uncharted 3 is not as good as 2. :)

Personally I think its better than the dark knight there are minor things in it that piss me off but not enough to make me think less of the movie.

I loved it, though I loved dark knight a little better because it flowed a little better. But this was a fantastic conclusion to the trilogy.
That last fight between bane and bruce could have definitely been improved.

The dark knight is a good movie, but it also has tons of flaws. I actually think Rises is much more cohesive. I'm not sure why people have problems with it.

please dont compare this to spidey 3, that movie sucked big time.
dkr is a incredible film and i went in expecting to dissapointed and not really caring and i was blown away, somethings could have been done better but overall it was amazing, a great ending and a great movie and the fight scenes seemed slower and much more realistic then ever before.

the movie was great overall but they should have split the movie into two like harry potter and twilight..because this is a well scripted movie and i know a lot of you will agree that this is more deserving to have a 2 part series compared to twilight and harry potter....if they split the movie into two parts..there will be more character developments, a lot of cameos can be added a lot of loose strings can be attached. if splitting the movie is a bad idea then at least make the movie 3 hrs and 30 minutes
