You guys are so jaded. It's certainly not the best movie OAT, nobody is claiming that, and not the best movie of the trilogy. But it was good. Saying it's a 6.5/10 is trolling. If Dark Knight was 9.5/10 or something, then TDKR was 8/10 easily. Maybe you're just holding it up to The Dark Knight's standard? idk. Sorry for the OOT derail, carry on.

Kind of yeah, but since this movie was made with most of the same cast (Ledger obv did an incredible job) and the same writer and director, I don't think that's an altogether unreasonable expectation.

If it's a Christopher Nolan movie and it's an 8/10 it's a failure

Note I haven't seen it yet.

I wasn't expecting Hardy to be Ledger-esque but part of the problem is that he had one of the better jobs of anyone in the movie. It wasn't his fault it was a less-than-stellar effort, it was mostly the poor writing.

Why are fanbois so butthurt that someone doesn't absolutely love the film and feel the need to defend it ad nauseum? It was a 6/10 for me, better than average but so full of unintentional lulz that it's not worthy of a hiring rating (to me). If you want to love it, go ahead. I don't care.

I didn't love it, it had plenty of flaws. But 6/10 is not accurate, sorry

i figure the guy who made a bat**** insane bet on tdkr beating avatar in box office and then went to see the midnight showing on thursday probably has a rational, objective view of the film.

The main plot device is a ****ing ticking time bomb that Batman saves with mere seconds remaining. Just think about how cliched that is, and then tell me that a 6/10 is unreasonable

what's the square root of the WAR of the film? is that how you calculate xfip?

although i have elected to blame my impending loss of the bet on james holmes and not my blind ignorance

i cannot dispute this

edit: fwiw my contention isn't that stuff like what RT or sethy are saying are stupid, just this notion that it's a bad movie because it wasn't dark knight, which was only amazing by comparison because of heath ledger

pretty sure I already covered why he keeps going back, she has the daughter. and if she moves, he knows even as a well employed man he stands nochance on getting custody.

can we get pics on this chick to determine really, really hot, or just meh hot?

that said, there were inf inconsistencies that tilted the **** out of me.

Wow, I drove right by that place without realizing it was more than a strip club. Gonna need to check that out.

The place I went to tonight was on the same street about 20 blocks down. Tons of clueless players with really great staff that knows when to be quiet and when to be a little sardonic. Flat rake ("club fee") of $10 per day, which seems to be standard here, and also ****ing awesome.

Yeah no rake allowed. Club fees are ridiculous.

I thought the movie was entertaining and enjoyable to watch, but it was 7/10 on the etats scale. I don't mind the plot holes since I'm goatish at suspending my belief.

My 3 biggest problems:
