Amusing that half the complainers are talking about how it was a generic action flick, while the others wanted a huge choreographed fight scene.

It's just that the movie fails both at storytelling and at filming action, mainly for the same reason : Nolan isn't really good at directing.

He had a dislocated vertebrae, and had 5 months to recover from it.

And stab wounds aren't instantly fatal, especially since she wasn't trying to stab him to death. More importantly, he wasn't doing any fancy acrobatics after getting stabbed, he was sitting in a cockpit. So, while it would be eventually fatal, and extremely painful, it's not like you can't move.


What you should be asking about is how his leg didn't have any problems in the pit (and afterwards).

Dark Knight never had a real choreographed fight scene yet it didn't feel like a generic action flick either. There was all of this build up that made a big fight scene feel somewhat expected yet it never really happened while in Dark Knight the movie felt a lot more like a crime suspense thriller than an action movie.

On the contrary, I feel that Nolan is well above average at filming and directing action.

In an industry that's swamped with cheap tactics to hide poor choreography and bad physical acting (shaky cameras, obvious wire work, slow-motion, jerky scene cutting, etc.), Nolan is one of the few that will consistently show fluid action sequences.

Given that most of the fights are unreadable because of bad framing and the fact that 99% of Nolan's directing is shot/countershot ie completely uninspired, I'n not sure what film you were watching. If you feel that the fight between Batman and Bane is any close to, for instance, what Raimi did in the Spiderman serie (to give a comparable example), you probably need to rewatch the fight on the train between Spiderman and Doctor Octopus.

Rewatching it now. It's so unrealistic! I mean, Dr. Octopus throws Spiderman behind him, then somehow Spiderman appears behind Octopus! They break through glass too easily just by jmping throw them. Spiderman gets tossed off the train onto the street and his suit doesnt even rip! It only rips when his muscles are straining? And besides how unrealistic it is, all the movements were so obviously CG it looked corny as hell. Octopus used civilian hostages only once, if he was a real villain why didn't he just hold the entire train hostage and force Spiderman to submit? It wasn't believable in the least and the CGI was just so blatant that I couldn't enjoy any of the action. They ruined what could have been a great battle between Spiderman and one of his greatest nemeses.


See? Anything can be made to look or sound like shit. Yet all these TDKR haters seem to think that all their gripes are specific to TDKR. If you go into it expecting it to be lackluster, hell even if you go into the movie hoping it rocks, you will inevitably be picking out even the tiniest things that make it "bad", even if theyre things you would normally just gloss over in a less hyped movie. It's completely ridiculous that people don't recognize this.

Edit: Honest opinion, the Spiderman vs Octopus fight was good, but Batman getting his ass royally handed to him by Bane had much more tension and emotional impact.
