Rate The Last Movie You Watched - Page 797

The Bourne Legacy was alright throughout. I was sorely disappointed by the 15 minute bike chase.

Im hooked!".....

lol, that's funny....I remember exactly when I saw that same scene. I was with my ex-wife (at the time she was just my g/f), her brother, and his g/f. We were all trying to bond, so to speak, and I remember the looks we all gave each other right after that park bench scene. I've loved pretty much every minute of the franchise since! 

I just updated/finished my review of the film...

I liked it much more than you did, I think, but I felt the bike chase did linger on a bit.

I found it alright as an action flick, especially the house siege and the bike chase, but the jason bourne theme is kinda re-used in the movie so you already know the ending.

Cerebral sci-fi like the Matrix minus the action.
Inventor discovers a way to watch someone's memory and gets trapped inside a criminal's mind.
Was all right tonight.

I'd like to see this, but it must be one heck of an obscure film....can't find it anywhere. Did you see this in the theater?

It went on way to long, but what bothered me even more than the length of the chase....

I digress.

Dark Knight Rises - 7.75/10 (I'm being very nice here)

Entertainment Value: 5/10

Doom and Gloom: 10/10

Acting: 10/10

Eye Candy: 10/10

Script: 5/10

Pretentiousness: 10/10

Originality: 5/10

Dialogue: 6.5/10

Action Scenes: 10/10

Seriousness: Way too serious

Bad guy: C-

(I'm not drunk, I swear)

Few comments...

Bane is a rather lame character. Seems inspired by Big Van Vader the wrestler. Director probably told him to walk around and act like one. Then the dialogue telling us why he turned out the way he did is good for a laugh! I never knew the movie would turn out to be just like an episode of Scooby Do! I thought they would take the easy way out and Bane would fall into a hole at the end and die.

I like all the scenes with Levitt and Hathaway. Weird. Need more of them.

The movie took itself like 10X too seriously. Sucked the life out of the whole movie and it was not really too much fun to watch. Felt like a soap opera at times. The middle part felt like it had the tone of a really depressing war movie or a Holocaust movie. I was thinking next time they could make the bad guy like Hilter or one of those nasty guys from the Hostel or Saw films. Screw having any sort of fun with a super hero movie. He's called the Dark Knight. Should be doom and gloom all the time!

Overall I liked the first and last parts. Everything else was bad. Especially Bane's lame speeches. The climbing scene had me laughing, so I guess that's a plus! Reminds me of the poetry reading in Skyfail.

BTW why is every action movie ripping off all the news headlines and video games?

Oh yeah...the soundtrack is the most overblown thing i've ever heard. Way overkill and it all sounds rather muffled.

What they did was close enough.

LOL!

That should sum up your feelings on the movie.

Tough critic, for sure.

Shove over, man....make some room on that island!

My only criticism pertained to the ending, but I got over it. Overall I enjoyed the film quite a lot....not as much as the 2nd one, but nearly.
