Quote from: Prez on Apr 11, 2019, 12:20:56 AMFinished watching the 2nd half of The Dark Knight with my wife. First time I've properly watched it in years.
Coincidentally I rewatched
The Dark Knight Rises for the first time in a long time last night.
I remember when I saw
The Dark Knight in the cinema on opening night, it was absolutely incredible. The way it just built and built and built as it went along, I was breathless by the end of it.
Now though I don't think it's quite the masterpiece it's often made out to be. Don't get me wrong, it's a very, very good movie, but it does have its flaws and honestly I don't think it holds up to repeat viewings the way the Burton films or even Nolan's first one do.
Conversely I enjoyed
The Dark Knight Rises more than I remembered. Tom Hardy was superb as Bane, and Hathaway made a great Catwoman.
But yeah, Bale's Bat-Voice is basically what kills his chances of being my favourite Batman. I know it gets harped on a lot, but in this case there's a reason for that.
Another thing that bugs me about Nolan's films is how Gotham completely changes in appearance with each movie.

Absolutely. In fact, in the lead up to release I remember it being reported that the film would set Two-Face up as the villain for the sequel, and I actually went into the movie still thinking that was the case, so I was kinda surprised when it killed him off.
