I hope I'll never have to be in the same group as people like this, but I fear it'll happen someday. Especially if there's ever going to be made a MLP:FiM movie. Certain people (you know the type) will probably hail it as the BEST MOVIE EVAR, when it's actually just mediocre.

I read her review and frankly her points are stupid
bane isnt sexy or charismatic enough villain???
everything is gloomy and not hearty? duh
she says new characters dont get enough time as the main ones...duh
she points out that people will complain that it doesnt live up to the dark knight and then says it doesnt live up to the dark knight instead of judging it on its own.


This on top of her decision to rate it rotten? rotten? rotten?....
this woman rated battleship, snow white, lucky one fresh....
shes askin for it or at the least attention and she got it.
She doesn't say Bane isn't sexy, she says Tom Hardy can be sexy but can just as easily turn malevolent. And that Bane comes off as just a hulking goon despite of Tom Hardy's acting talent.

This review addresses the main problem I have with Nolan's Batman and with Nolan's movies in general. It's all steeped in cerebral dialoge and constant exposition, but there's no heart to any of it so I end up not giving a crap about the characters. In a nutshell this review states that Heath Ledger was the glue that held the second movie together, and that without a similar outstanding performance the third movie stumbles.

Looked at the rotten tomatoes rating though and it's at 89% so I'm sure the gripes with the film aren't that major.
Yes, but one single person doesn't like it. How can we live with ourselves if even one person doesn't like our favourite movie?

It's not even out yet for fuck sake. The only people who've seen it are Executives and select Critics, complaining over someones review for a film you haven't seen yet is just bollocks. It's certainly disheartening to hear about a negative review for DKR, but I haven't seen it yet, so I can't argue against her points. w

Now Im not saying I think she should fall down a well and die Im just saying I wouldnt help her.

But if your putting your review on rotten your asking for it.

And come on, the dark knight rises cant possibly be bad enough to give a highly negative review. If she thinks that she needs to watch more shitty movies.....*cough* green lantern *cough*
No one "asks" to be receive death threats. If a review has merit, and plenty of solid points, than The Dark Knight Rises should not be above criticism. No movie is above judgment, and if some people cannot handle this, then they should step in the fire.

She is not talking about Bane, she is talking about the actor Tom Hardy. That´s something that nobody in her review is understanding.
And I like the only reply to her review in Facebook, and generally agree with her response to the issue. Not with the review, but after watching the Dark Knight and finding it very long, boring and with some awful editing (the rescue of the hostages) maybe she is right.

But that is, like, my opinion, man.

I know and Tom Hardy is bane but I doubt her credentials on whether hardy is portraying the bane character right.

Anyone who thinks that you DESERVE death threats or any other form of internet-based abused because they have stated that they don't like something that someone else does (well they think they do despite not even seeing the movie yet) is a fucking idiot. Yes, if you put your opinion out on the internet (especially professional opinions) you should expect criticism in return. This is not criticism. This is pathetic.

Reminds me of youtube.

That seems just like run of the mill flaming. Yeah it's an overreaction but I thought death threats were supposed to be more threatening. Not just bland one-liners from someone

And some people complain that the MLP:FiM fanbase were bad!

So some people are acting like arses and ignorant especially when the film is not release yet unless they went to the future to watch it!

It would be funny and ironic that the film itself turn out to be a major letdown to prove who were wrong.

Am I going to be associated with these cunts for really enjoying the Batman games?
Bleh. Whatever. People will be dicks, not much we can do to stop that. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go catch the Riddler some more.

[sub][sub]Also everyone in a superhero/villain costume in this movie looks fucking dumb.[/sub][/sub]

I like Christy Lemire and I respect her opinions. She was a great critic on Ebert's show and made Vishnevetsky look pretentious and naive from time to time. Her review is even handed. Considering the last movie, she felt this one didn't reach expectations. And you can't judge it strictly on its own because it's the third in a series. You just can't. Most of all, she was bored by it, which is a problem for a 2 hour and 45 minute film. Try writing movie reviews on a regular basis for every movie you watch and try to adequately express your opinion on a movie that's just "okay." (And she gave it a two star rating - generally reserved for mediocre "okay" movies.)

Yeah.... and there's that. Nolan's Batman looks like he's wearing some kind of sex toy on his head.

What happened to the days when death threats used to be something along the lines of I'm going to come to your house while you sleep and slit your fucking throat?

Saying I hope you die is a death threat now?

Really?
You're right, but that doesn't make it much better.

I have not read the review but if she makes idiotic/inaccurate/childish criticism's then sure, call her out on it, tell her she is talking crap.

But to say "I hope you die" is absolutely fucking pathetic. It's a movie for fuck sake. It's not like she said "I'd rather go to a concentration camp than watch this film" or something that could actually warrant hatred.
Still theres a very clear legal line here.... it rather scares me that saying one "hopes you die" and/or telling one to "go die" constitutes a death threat.

Also it once again is people taking comments on the internet WWWAAAYYYYY to seriously.

Bwahaha, I never thought of it like that.
The main stupid looking people are Bane and Catwoman though. Just... why?

Catwoman just looks so bland and her head gear is way too goofy looking. Catwoman really should be one of the easiest to do right honestly.

As for Bane... he just looks like a not-quite-so-hardcore member of a 90's obscure metal band.
