This movie is Nolan's visual best. Wally Pfister did a great job.

Really? I recall being the only freak in this thread to actively discredit the idea of Batman not being able to survive the bomb which was initially one of the biggest discrepancies people had.
Even Void will back me on that one.
That's not a reason for liking the film though.
I'm excited to see what Pfister does now on his own.
Didn't you hear? Putting Nam in his place is how you get to *be* a mod here.
I kid Nam, I kid....

Why would I, of all people, defend a movie I hate?

I think it's also the fact that pretty much 99% of the nitpicks (if not 100%) have been countered with logical explanations found within the 2 hrs 45 mins of the movie itself + the first two films, and supplemented by supporting materials like the official books and interviews.
So they need to keep finding holes which cannot be plugged to somehow account for their disappointment.
The reality though, it seems to me, is that the disappointment is borne out of the fact that this isn't the film some people wanted/expected/hoped to see after the ending of TDK.
Nolan took a somewhat radical direction with this which ultimately makes his trilogy more like an elseworlds tale, whereas there were other directions he could have gone after TDKs ending, which could have built upon the more comic-canon-consistent elements of BB/TDK and resulted in the overall trilogy being less elseworldly.
For most people, a sequel where Batman operated as the outlaw and fought new supervillains/freaks inspired by Joker etc, and started losing 'Bruce Wayne' completely, would have made more logical sense, and this was a direction people expected.
What we got though is completely different - it's focused first and foremost on where does Bruce Wayne's journey end and what has to happen to get there. TDKR explores this, using the events of BB and TDK to get us to this point, while not necessarily taking the end of TDK and exploring ok so what would happen next.
Many people have made that mental leap to embrace TDKR, which explains the predominantly positive ratings it has on any sort of public/critic aggregating site. But those that don't like TDKR, I think it's in large part due to holding on to that expectation of a direct sequel.
Hope that makes some sense
PS: I still think Fabio and Mike for example post some good points and I enjoy reading them, they clearly know their stuff. And it keeps my brain in check for things I might have missed

Because you're defending something that happened in the film as being possible, not the film itself.
Like I said earlier, I have no idea if you liked the film or not. You say you do, I'm just saying that's not how it appears and that's why people keep assuming you all don't.
I've honestly seen nothing in this thread to suggest otherwise. Nothing.

No, because with the marginalization the Nolancompoops do, if you post something negative about the film, you must hate it. You've seen Carl addressing that very issue as well, so it's not just me stating that. And both of us have posted, more than once, that we thought it was a good movie.

So am I. He seemed like a intelligent fellow. I'm excited for his flick.

Basically this thread has become about people who think this is a 7/8 out of 10 film arguing with those that think it's a 9/10 out of 10 film, and trying to bring them down to their level, with their myths of contradictions and plot holes.

Heard rumours WB wants him to take on one of their superhero flicks. Either him or Jonah Nolan. Or both.

Actually, I think it's quite the opposite, with you being the only "maybe" exception among the Nolancompoops.

See, you're just looking to whine. We literally just stated that its not that ONE negative thing was posted, its when 90% of all posts are negative from people who claim to actually like the movie. But now to fish for yet another group hug you're acting as one tiny complaint brings down everyone's wrath.
Dude you really need to grow a pair.

Says the freak with the mangina. Show me proof where there's any constructive counter-posting by Nolancompoops other than Void's. You won't find it. Especially in your post history because you're almost as bad as Ironwez with the cyclical trolling.
This is the truest part of your post. The movie is good and I enjoyed it as a whole, I will buy it on blu. However, it's not where I wanted to him to take batman to end a fun run of films.
