Bane Could have had improvements, but spoilers

Posted by: medv4380 on Jul 29, 20:52 in response to second gary's post I have not read "A Tale of Two Cities." I read...

Bane wasn't the lead villan.  There where subtle things point to it all the way.  When Bane tells Dagget "Everythings gone according to plan" and then the guy goes into a rant about how he's not in control of Wayne Enterprises. That was the first major clue to something not being right.  Batman fans who didn't stay away from actor listing that put Talia in the cast should have connected the dots by that point. Bane was basically saying that the plan was to put the lady in charge of Wayne Enterprises from the start.  For those who caught on to that you know who ratted out the Spechial Forces and why she says the things she does, but does so in a way you'd never really suspect. They played that perfectly with Talia. My brother midway though the movie was convinced that they wrote Talia out of the story so when they did the big reveal it caught him off gaurd, and that's a good thing.  Which is also why they kept her out of every trailer so the reviel could catch some off gaurd. 

Banes death could have been more dramatic, but at that point you know he's not the main villan.  So they opt for ending it in a way that actually mocks Batman.  As Joker said Batman WONT kill no matter what cost, and he WONT use guns.  So how do you deal with the sistuation? Nolan opted to mock Batman and have Selina Kill Bane with "basically" a gun (yea it's really a mini rocket launcher on the Bat Bike but it's a gun).

Talia's even playing a role from A Tail of Two Cities.  In it their is a lady who has a "revenge" list, and uses the revolution as cover to exact her revenge.  Which is exactly what Talia is doing to Bruce and Gotham.

The Trials could have been better, but adding more to them other than "senencing hearing" would add other another half hour to the film, and I personally believe Joker would have been the best "Judge" if they had that optoin.

Rank this summer's superhero films Mr. Smitherz Jul 29, 11:59

They are all very close to each other... LanceStorm22 Jul 29, 12:12

Didn't see Spider-Man so I'd say TDKR > Avengers. darknightz Jul 29, 12:12

I'm with you on The Avengers-related films. Found the lead-up films better than the culmination. {nm} Mr. Smitherz Jul 29, 12:14

I'll rank Avengers and Dark Knight Rises equally in spite of being different from each other. Spider-Man was uninvolving IMO. Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 12:27

Jeff Wells noticed and mentioned the TV movie quality of The Avengers multiple times. Mr. Smitherz Jul 29, 13:44

The only reason Mr. Smitherz Jul 29, 13:53

The Avengers is a great popcorn movie. Put mind in neutral and enjoy. TDKR is a wonderful motion picture full of drama and character study. Tanker Jul 29, 14:06

And the third is just an old meal from whereever reheated in a microwave. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 30, 09:55

If you wanna talk about TV movie quality, one could easily say TASM was Spider-Man for the Lifetime channel. {nm} Jay_Beezy Jul 29, 15:53

I haven't seen "The Avengers." SPID4 is well-enough done, but unambitious; BATM3 seemed to me a mixed blessing... second gary Jul 29, 12:52

Avengers, Spider-Man, TDKR Power87 Jul 29, 14:41

Avengers, Spider-Man, The Dark Knight Returns Budd Jul 29, 15:13

Dark Knight Rises {nm} b4bad Jul 29, 16:22

TDKR,Avengers, did not like the TASM (Spidey has always been my all time fav comic character), Ghostrider sucked less than the last one, b4bad Jul 29, 16:26

The Amazing Spider-man is a counter example to both The Dark Knight Rises and to The Avengers. medv4380 Jul 29, 17:26

I'm not as down on TASM as you are, but you pretty much nailed it on Avengers and TDK/TDKR. {nm} Tanker Jul 29, 17:38

As I said, I have mixed feelings about BATM3; but there is real and credible hostility for the movie which I don't... second gary Jul 29, 18:15

I'd say most of the hostility is miss guided. Governed, in part, by a "occupy" bias, and a lack of knowledge about A Tale of Two Cities medv4380 Jul 29, 19:13

I have not read "A Tale of Two Cities." I read recently a great French Revolution novel, "A Place of Greater Safety" by Hilary Mantel... second gary Jul 29, 19:28
