Hysterical? Please...

The whole facebook swipe was pretty over the top

He probably thought the plot wasn't great. And I'd agree. Very lazy in comparison to the first two films

3 out of 10, thought it was truly awful, gets the crap kicked out of him by bane who then puts him in a cell with a physio and a doctor and all he had to do is climb out a hole, dirt.

A prison that Bane could never escape from and gave him the most painful injury of his life? He put Bruce there with a broken vertebrae. Also you are basing your 3/10 rating on just this?

What about the characterisation? Overall plot? Performances? Score? nope, you just go for 3/10 and about 10 minutes of the movie that you are completely wrong about...

The film was rubbish, its not worth my time breaking it down especially cause I'm using my phone. I loved the last one, it was excellent. That does not give this the right to be good, i think some have bought into the hype.

The nemesis was good, really unsettling but all in all, it was terrible. Not enough of batman at all, especially the stealthy stuff., that's ok if the story was good but it was unintelligible, disjointed, unbelievable.

Cat woman delivers him into the hands of bane, then does a complete about turn. Then there was the whole bomb about to go off cliche cliche cliche. This film has very few redeeming features, the greatest being Anne Hathaway in leather.

I also wonder about yer man being called Fox, subliminal stuff maybe. Do they have any part of WB.

So you were on the edge of your seat wondering if Batman would get out were you? Hardly gripping stuff

So you won't be buying the triple-play blu-ray boxset with bonus bobble-head Bane when it comes out then? Shame:D

The character has been around for about 30 years.

The whole hole segment was pretty tiresome and could have been wrapped up a lot quicker I felt. Although it did coincide with one of the best parts of the film (Bane taking control of the city)

Can someone explain how Batman goes from getting hammered by Bane, then doing some press ups and sit ups and then can beat Bane easily enough then?

Yep. easy. He's Batman see. He also had 5 months but really needed a montage to show how he did it.

Punched him a few times.Kicked him through a window then clattered his head off a table.

Then he shouted at him a bit and made him cry.

I think the sit ups and stuff was just to get his figure back after lying on his arse for so long.

Just after watching TDK again, TDKR is better IMO. BB the best.

wayne had a stylish enough beard after 5 months too

As Handsome Bob suggested earlier, I think the sheer fact that Bruce escaped from the prison shattered Bane's confidence. Bane wasn't able escape himself and didn't believe that a man like Bruce could either. In addition, after seeing what Bane had done to his city, Bruce was more motivated than ever to defeat him. Where as previously he probably wasn't taking Bane seriously enough.

How did Bane get out? Was he pulled out?

Coz he's fúcking Batman ! Thats why!

In fairness, it took the Nuclear bomb 5 months to explode and Bruce arrives to Gotham with only hours left on the timer so he he spent 5 months training in that prision with nothing driving him but anger and revenge.

Plus as mentioned before, Bane was beaten when Batman lit up the bridge. From being broken to RISING from the pit, Batman had achieved what Bane never did. Bats had the mental upperhand before a punch was thrown in the second fight.

My favorite scene in the film was the batman bane fight were Bane was clearly ****ed and kept lashing out

Above average movie, could never have lived up to the hype, First hour is boring, the movie was to predictable, liked bane's character

not the cops though, for some reason along with keeping them alive by supplying them food and water before planning to kill them in a nuclear blast, Bane also gave them a decent supply of razors

Sad Professor

They didn't have beards, true, but the cops were clearly unshaven. I think perhaps Nolan decided that the sight of a bunch of bearded guys with long hair in police uniforms charging at Bane's men at the end might have been a bit comical.

In the first encounter, Bane was waiting for Batman. It was fought under Bane's terms against a barely fit Wayne who had never even seen Bane, never mind knowing how to fight him.

The second encounter was under Batman's terms. As has been said, Wayne spent five months training intently, perfecting fitness, sharpness and being hyper motivated by the sight of Gotham being thrashed. Going over and over Bane's fighting style. Learning about Bane's weakness - the gas mask. How it shielded him from the pain of his injuries and without it he would be overwhelmed by pain. Hence Batman targeted that and Bane became distracted and manic when the gas supply was interfered with allowing Batman to get the upper hand.

Maybe Gillette were the official shaving partners of the League of Shadows Gotham Games 2012?

Comical? At least they would have matched the plot

Was there some sort of adjustable bullet on the bat bike? the guns are fired three times and they have a different effect each time.

I assumed the clean shaven cops were just very ugly women.
