I didnt put that in. it literally uses LOTR as an example

reply

It certainly is. The Dark Knight Trilogy is muddled by comparison, especially this nutty finale.

reply

movitchatuser told me batman didnt realize Banes obvious fragile mask was his weak in their first fight because he hadn't done any "special investigation" into it yet..... the excuses he will come up with for that shit is hilarious

reply

Did you miss the part during the first fight when Bruce attempted to hit Bane, Bane merely grabbed his fist and made him hit himself and then in the second fight when Bane attempts to do the same thing again he isn’t able to stop Bruce from hitting him?

you must have missed the two hits batman got in before that. then after that the headbutt and 5 more hits.

reply

I never really cared for the LoTR movies. I read each book right before each film and the movies seemed more juvenile in comparison. One example is I thought The Voice of Saruman was the best chapter in The Two Towers and they had the prominent Christopher Lee playing the part yet they seemed to take all his clever dialogue out where he is convincingly talking his way out of his situation and instead just shows him basically exasperated and resigning himself to his predicament.

reply

true I think that was a time thing. the extended editions were long AF and still couldn't fit everything in

reply

That's why the EE is the only way to watch LOTR.

reply

Lord of the rings isn’t a trilogy. It’s just one movie and it’s mediocre at best

reply

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is a legendary masterpiece and the 7th Art at its top.

The Batman Nolan Trilogy is superb with the first 2 movies, but with this third and last movie they really dropped the ball.

reply

The third movie was great, unfortunately a very small yet vocal minority of haters were too bitter to accept that the movie was great and didn’t need the Joker.

LOTR is mediocre at best and it’s not a trilogy, even Tolkien didn’t think it was one and I trust him more than a couple of pathetic, anonymous man baby haters.

reply

Only pathetic haters think The LOTR Trilogy is mediocre. The LOTR movies are legendary masterpieces and the top.

The Dark Knight Rises is by far the worst Batman Nolan movie, and only an extremely small but vocal minority claims it's an awesome movie and anything even remotely as good as the first 2 juggernauts.

I trust them more than a couple of pathetic, anonymous and irrelevant man baby haters.

reply

LOTR isn't a trilogy and it's very mediocre. It doesn't respect the novel and there are way too many things that just don't make any sense. Peter Jackson also starts subplots that were fully developed in the novel yet he half asses them so at the end of the day we are left with a million plot holes.

The Dark Knight Rises on the other hand is one of the greatest conclusions to any story. If you think The Dark Knight is better I'm not going to tell you you're wrong but they are on very even levels. It was by far the most emotional conclusion I have ever seen.

You need to calm down, your hatred towards a superhero movie is beyond obsessive and quite frankly not healthy.

reply

You are the one who needs to calm down because you are the one who started with the hatred.

And no, the TLOTR Trilogy is a legendary masterpiece of 3 movies and this is agreed by virtually everyone in the entire world.

Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are 100000 times better than The Dark Knight Rises. The third movie absolutely sucks in comparison.

reply

No hatred at all from me, just posting my opinion.

You on the other hand have a very unnatural obsession with making sure everyone shares your hatred of TDKR. You need serious help and you need to chill out.

You appealed to popularity in your second paragraph which is a logical fallacy.

You then completely contradict yourself in the 3rd paragraph when you conveniently ignore popularity and pretend that the vast majority doesn’t prefer TDKR to Batman Begins. By all objective measurements TDKR is better than Batman Begins. There is no standard that says it “sucks”.

You are just a sad and bitter man baby who can’t get over the fact that TDKR was very successful yet didn’t rely once on the Joker. You just wanted TDK all over again and it drives you crazy that Nolan did something very different and did it well. I’m guessing the Tale of Two Cities allusions went over your head as well? Of course they did I doubt you could actually finish reading a novel.

reply

You are the one who needs to calm down because you are the one who started with the hatred.

You are dumb as a brick and your lack of intelligence is already legendary. You probably can't read at all a empty paper, let alone a book.

And no, the TLOTR Trilogy is a legendary masterpiece of 3 movies and this is agreed by virtually everyone in the entire world.

You are just a desperate and sad little man. Keep crying kiddo.

reply

No hatred from me, all I did was post my opinion and you started shitting your pants and flying off the handle.

Oh believe me, kiddo there are a lot of bricks not to mention pieces of shit that are more intelligent than you are.

HAHAHAHAHA “legendary masterpiece”, that’s a good one. But again you’re appealing to popularity which is a logical fallacy

So which is it, numb nuts? Does popular opinion dictate the quality of a film or doesn’t it? You’re trying to have it both ways, dingleberry.

Get over it you snowflake, man baby. TDKR was universally loved, you’re in the minority so suck on it.

Moviechatuser497 is a well known idiot on these boards. The reason he wants to omit LOTR as a trilogy is because it beats TDK trilogy by massive majority. If he can omit that it will prop up TDK trilogy. Funny thing is you can't argue with the dictionary definition. Anyone who dislikes TDKR he will claim does not understand it. Which implies you can't understand the film and still think the movie is not that good. You have to get through him first in order to have an opinion on the film.

reply

It seems so. The guy is a complete idiot.

I got it right from the beginning the guy has been fighting a lot with many other people regarding TDKR to quickly jump into conclusions about everyone who dislikes TDKR.

TDKR absolutely sucks compared to the previous movies and don't get me start with the superior TLOR trilogy movies.

His comments are insane.

reply

I do not even have an issue with him liking the movie. Everyone is entitled to their view. What is dumb though is if you dislike it he will insult you and claim you do not get it. I personally can criticize movies that I even love. You do not have to be blind to something's faults simply because you enjoy it. I enjoy lots of elements of TDKR. I do think there are superior Batman movies though. I found TDK as well as the Batman to be better films.

LOTR is a arguably the best trilogy. I think the advantage it had was the story was all laid out before making it. When you look at other trilogies they make up the story after each installment to try and tie it together. Can it be done? Yes it is just hard to do it so consistently. That is why they could shoot LOTR back to back like that.

reply

Yeah. I like TDKR but it's very weak compared to the previous movies.

And I find hilarious he always claims people who don't ike the movie just "don't get it"...

He says this like if TDKR was some kind of extremely intelligent and profound movie.

reply

I think TDK is the definitive best among the Nolan Batman movies. There are a few things I do think TDKR did better than Batman Begins. For one I think Anne Hathaway's Selina Kyle is a much better character than Rachael Dawes. I do not hate Rachael Dawes I just always found that character a little lacking. Bane is the more recognizable villain and theatrical than Ras Al Ghul. Even though Ras Al Ghul was terrific. However the pacing of TDKR is too long where as BB feels tight.

Fight scenes were better shot in TDKR also. Unfortunately the choreography of the fight scenes in the Nolan films is the achilles heel of the series. His choreography always leaved a bit to be desired. In BB it is really choppily edited. TDKR feels like two movies smashed into one to me. A little too much exposition as well. Overall I thought it was good but flawed for sure.

Yeah I am like dude come on. Like the movie but quit being an idiot. Someone can understand a film and still not enjoy it. You can turn that right around on him. Okay the only reason you dislike LOTR is because you don't understand it.

reply

Don't you mean fight scenes are better shot in TDK?

reply

I was comparing tdkr to Batman begins. However yes fights in tdk were the best in the trilogy.

reply

I agree.

reply

LOL, too stupid to do anything other than repeat yourself. You're a broken record, numb nuts.

TDKR was universally loved

LOTR is mediocre at best, doesn't respect the novel and isn't a trilogy

Those are the facts so suck on them.

Also I think it's cute that you think you made a new friend with moviefanatic505 but keep in mind he is only hating on TDKR because I like it, he also called Candace Owens an "Uncle Tom" so he clearly has some race issues to work out. Just letting you know who you're palling up with.

reply

LOL!

YOU are too stupid to do anything other than repeat yourself. You're a broken record, numb nuts.

TDKR was universally hated.

LOTR is a legendary masterpiece at its worst, and it's a trilogy

Those are the facts, so suck on them.

Classic example of comical irony. You're making this way too easy, shit for brains.

reply

HAHAHA, it has over an 8.0 on IMDB, it is the 69th greatest film of all time, it has over an 85 on RT and MC and it made over a billion dollars.

LOTR is just one film chopped up into 3 pieces, I could get my movie maker out and do that to any film I wanted to. The 3 pieces of worthless without the other two and don't tell a complete story. That's not the case with TDK trilogy.

Look, son I am not just a LOTR hater, in fact you might call me a LOTR fanatic, the novel is one of my favorite novels of all time, but even you have to admit that the film has a TON of problems that the novel didn't.

I bet you're going to copy and paste my entire response again and just swap out TDKR for LOTR, in the words of Adam Sandler "go suck a cock you piece of fucking repeating shit"

reply

HAHAHAHAHA! It's awful!

Moviechatuser gets owned by everyone on these boards. It's so fucking hilarious 😂 😃 😄

reply

Not at all, I mean hell HarrySkywalker resorted to just repeating everything I said like a fucking child. I have facts and logic on my side and that's all I need.

I'm sure whoever you disagreed with you would say is "getting owned", the truth is TDKR was universally praised and is one of the greatest conclusions to any story. People who hate it are just whiny manbabies who wanted the Joker all over again.

reply

No, you got owned. The repeating is just the cherry on top.

As somebody else said, your idiocy on here is legendary.

It's entertainment for the rest of us😂

reply

LOL, it's comically ironic to be accused of "idiocy" by a bunch of blind haters whose complaints are rooted in an inability to understand the film they are bitching about. And when you just keep repeating what the previous person said that's essentially a concession, it means "I have no intelligent response". But of course a simple minded person such as yourself wouldn't understand.

reply

Legendary.

🤣🤣

reply

Manbaby

derp derp

reply

Oh, and remember you using your idiotic brain to ask me to "prove" that you use the IMDB as a credible argument point? I didn't have to look far in fact, I didnt have to look at all. Here you are, doing it again. 🤣🤣🤣 fucking moron.

reply

You said it was a credible source so all I did was take you at your word, shit for brains. So which is it, is IMDB credible or not?

Also I was responding to the claim that "everyone hates" TDKR, IMDB shows that clearly most people love it. Nice try you fucking idiot.

reply

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fucking LEGENDARY!

reply

I own your ass.

reply

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No. You get owned by everyone. I don't even need to do anything.

Legendary.

reply

Fuckin pussy, you are my bitch. Now get off the internet, fuckboy, you're getting a little too worked up.

reply

Look who's getting worked up 🤣🤣🤣

Legendary idiot!🤣

reply

Go see a therapist you pathetic loser.

reply

Why?
Watching you get punched in the dick by everyone is therapeutic itself!🤣

reply

Again, it’s quite odd that I always seem to pop up in your sexual fantasies, it’s really getting pretty weird.

reply

Yeah.

Indeed, it's very weird since you don't even have a dick at all.

reply

Your imaginary wife begs to differ

reply

Wait....
Let's break down how much of a fail that was. So my imaginary wife begs to differ that you don't have a dick??

What??? 🤦‍♂️

So someone that you said is in my imagination doesn't agree about your nonexistent dick? My god, you're a fucking idiot!


LEGENDARY! 🤣

reply

You claim she does exist so I’m just taking you at your word. You really are retarded aren’t you? Your imaginary wife said I gave her the best sex she’s had in years.

reply

Show me where I claimed anything about having a wife or not having a wife.

So you're saying you having sex with imaginary people?🤦‍♂️🤣

HAHAHAHAHA

FUCKING FAIL

reply

Damn you really are retarded. You shouldn’t be having sex with anyone, real or not.

reply

What? Everything you say makes less and less sense 🤣

But this is what I mean by entertainment. Watching you fail at everything is fucking hilarious 😂

reply

You enjoy getting owned and humiliated online? Whatever you’re into, kiddo. I own your ass, you are my bitch. Now do you have anything on topic to say or are you going to call it quits for the night and attempt to make love to your imaginary wife?

reply

🤣🤣
Legendary!

You never disappoint!

reply

Honestly I’m barely trying anymore, I don’t need to with your dumb ass.

reply

You get owned every time 🤣

reply

Only in your deluded mind, shit for brains.

reply

No. It's pretty universally agreed on here.

You can call me delusional if it makes you feel better, but we all know the truth 😉

reply

Again appealing to popularity is a logical fallacy, numb nut. But if that makes you feel better about yourself then you do you.

reply

MovieChat, wrong ou idiot and moron.

YOU got destroyed and humiliated.

LMAO!

reply

I agree it's technically better and I prefer it, but I understand preference is important and lots of people don't like films like LotR, so I'm sure that's where you'll find most of the disagreement comes from. It's not for everyone, so there's no real point in debating it, and they're two vastly different trilogies, genre aside. Both are good though, so it's nice that both exist.

reply

Absolutely. Except for Ledger, TDK trilogy sucks. Boring as hell.
