The Dark Knight Rises movie with Batman (spoilers within) (1 Viewer)

[eoMMan]

I watched this again last night on AMC, which by the way, is a horrible channel to watch movies.  They would show about 3 minutes of the movie and then 2 minutes of commercials at a higher volume.  I do not recommend AMC.

But anyway, at the end of The Dark Knight Rises, Batman has less than 2 minutes to get the bomb out of Gotham City (I think it was actually a minute and thirty something seconds).  The bomb has a 6 mile radius.  He attaches the bomb to the back of his helicopter/airplane thingie and drives it out over the water so it could go kapluey over there and not hurt any Gotham City residents.

How could he have covered 6 miles in time? 

If he was going 360 miles per hour, that's 6 miles in a minute.  But he was dragging a heavy ### bomb.

Major plot fail, imo.

The more you know.

That's the only plot hole you found in that movie?

 

[stbugs]

I don’t want to quibble but I believe the fact that it was dropped in the bay meant the water would blunt a lot of the force meaning he didn’t have to get as far as if he was dropping it on land. I don’t recall the 6 mile thing. Was it a 6 mile radius or a 6 mile area that’s covered. The latter would mean only 3 miles away minus the minimizing affects of the water.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

Heck, how did he do all that and still get out of the plane safely????

 

[Corporation]

I loved the first 2 movies of the series, this one was a big disappointment.

 

[Grahamburn]

WHERE'S THE TRIGGER?!?!?!????!!?!

 

[eoMMan]

EXACTLY!

I will say though that I thought it was responsible of Bane to keep his face covering on throughout the movie.  He cares about stopping the spread.

YOU WOULD NEVER GIVE IT TO AN ORDINARY CITIZEN

Probably an ejector seat. They were blatantly obvious when they said at the end that the autopilot was fixed before he flew the bomb out there.

I think the issue was he only had 10-12 seconds to get miles away, right? 

 

[Grahamburn]

The only rise I get out of this movie is from Anne Hathaway on that big wheel bike.  Amirite?

Maybe not most disappointing sequel ever level, but definitely a huge letdown. Had so much hype coming out too.

Except that I thought they mentioned they could fly it out over the bay and it would be OK. That said I don’t really care enough to keep discussing it.

True, for me that title will almost always belong to the Matrix sequels, which were so bad they actually decrease my enjoyment of the amazing original.

Probably an ejector seat. They were blatantly obvious when they said at the end that the autopilot was fixed before he flew the bomb out there. 

So he ejected out early enough (before it left the city?) to survive, the autopilot drops the bomb in the water to avoid the 6 mile radius issue, and then the autopilot flew the batwing back home so Fox could check it out?

Not that big a stretch for these kind of movies.

 

[AAABatteries]

That's the only plot hole you found in that movie?

 

[Capella]

In hindsight I thought they were all pretty mediocre, but Ledger propped up the second one. Everything about that movie without him was meh imo.

How long was Bruce Wayne in the hole in the ground?

 

[need2know]

I liked this one.  

 

[Buckna]

They are on the list of movies for me that I pretend don't exist so I can still appreciate the original without it being tarnished. Along with Alien 3 and later, anything past Terminator 2, all Jurassic Park sequels, etc.

 

[Buckna]

Outside of Katie Holmes, I still think Batman Begins is excellent and is a movie I can watch anytime. Would agree that Ledger's performance elevated the 2nd so much that most people overlooked its flaws when it first came out. There's very little in the 3rd one even worth remembering, the story is an absolute mess and contradicts a lot of the messaging and themes from the earlier films.

15 Things That Bothered Us About ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

My wife thinks Keaton was the best batman. 

What is she smoking? Amirite?

 

[Waingro]

Why was Bane’s voice so ominous? The sound mixing just made it sound so weird. As if the terrible accent wasn’t bad enough.

That dopey talking-yelling at the top of his lungs while wearing the face smothering monster from Alien and sounding like he had a mouthful of bat guano was ominous?

It is a Bat-Copter. It can go way faster than normal helicopters.

Batman, is possibly the lamest super hero out there. And that’s saying a lot. 

 

[Mr. Mojo]

Outside of Katie Holmes, I still think Batman Begins is excellent and is a movie I can watch anytime. 

Katie is a so so fit but she's significantly better than Maggie Gylenhall in The Dark Knight, who is probably the worst casting since they had Denise Richards play a Nuclear Physicist in the Bond film.

I might need to watch this one again. I honestly don’t remember much of it. Are they streaming on any of the 15 services I pay for?

Allow Bane to explain...

Hulu currently has it and The Dark Knight. Batman is a Warner Bros property though so I would guess it will eventually move over to HBO Max. ATT owns both HBO and Warner Bros.

Maggie looks like a sad cartoon turtle

I guess it was supposed to be. But I agree, It was just too forced and fake. Dopey is an accurate word to describe it.

According to Steve Marriott and the lads in Humble Pie, I believe it was 30 Days...in the Hole.

He was in the best Batman trilogy.

wow, just wow on that article. Pure garbage. Long time lurker, but I had to post following that article link.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

This was bad in so many ways.  I can't believe Nolan had a hand in it.  He really mailed it in on this one.

It's disappointing that nobody cares about the fish.
