Agreed.  I have never found her particularly attractive - until this movie.

As to my excellent pacing comment, I thought the movie just kept up the pace well.  I agree that the 5 months of Bruce in the pit prison was treated like it was 3 days but the whole Gotham occupation got that treatment for obvious running time reasons.

I am because the combination of the three means we'll have fewer like her.

Not that I don't understand that rarity makes a thing special, but increasing forms of her caliber by a bit can only improve our lives a bit.  (Wow, creepy AND sexist. Awesome!)

I'm just proud to say my generation's Batman trilogy and cartoons (the Fox ones from the early 90s) are the best.  While the third installment wasn't necessarily Nolan's finest, it's still damn good.

The complaining about anything accept the central villain plot I don't really get.

I enjoyed this as much as Dark Knight while in theatre, though the problems with the central plot crept in as soon as it ended.

Much better than the Avengers (which I liked)

Problems....

Awesome shit...

Bane really did work for me.  His brutal manner contrasted nicely with his posh accent.  Was really surprised how good a villain he was.  Bravo.

Just got back from seeing this.  Loved every minute, and I enjoyed the story coming all back together and ending on a high note.  Also, all of the TV actor cameos were pretty nice.  Like, every five minutes, I was like "Oh, there's Christopher Judge!"  "Hey, it's Josh Stewart!" and "How the fuck did Reggie Lee get another cop role?!"

Because he's the goddamned Batman.


Fixed.   Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

What an excellent skewering of the movies.  Underscored a lot of things that niggled but were excused because "it's a movie!"

I hadn't even considered they should have called Levitt's character Terry McGinnis.. and now I'm pissed they didn't.  awesome, for real

Finally saw it tonight, gonna say that it was bad. Not "oh god, trilogy ruined" bad, but really not good. Worst of the 3.

I kinda had a laundry list of bitches but it's still spoiler-tag worthy here I guess so I'll just hold off.

This movie was a fucking nonsensical mess.

I think it had its good parts but it was not up to the level of the first two. I'd say out of recent Super Hero part 3's it is easily the best but when your competition is stuff like X-Men: The Last Stand and Spider-man 3  that is pretty shallow praise.

Given the movie, there's only 1 thing in there that might be considered a spoiler, since it's so fucking telegraphed what happens.

Go for it.

Alrighty then:


The things I liked:
-Wow, the first Catwoman portrayal that had an ounce of dignity. The body suit isn't skin-tight with the cleavage cut out, and she isn't an overly flirty sexpot and the whole goggles-into-catears thing was clever as hell.
-Gary Oldman is awesome as usual.
-The guy who played the young go-getter cop is good too.
-Non-sensical plot aside Bane was pretty cool when he was being Bane.

Worst of a series widely considered to be one of the best crime noir-style superhero movies ever? That's actually pretty good.

I think most of you have been overly critical of it, but most of your critiques have merit. It could have been a lot more coherent on reflection, but it succeeded in not taking me out of the movie for the entire almost 3 hours. So still a success.

I mean... we could have had bat nipple, emo dancing and Brett Ratner.

That was the part that was a bit unbelievable for me as well.  They could have at least done it some vaguely plausible way.
