Again, by what standard? I'm very curious.

I gushed a LOT about Dark Knight Rises the night I saw it, but that was 100% opening night delirium. I've since seen it almost a dozen times and it does NOT hold up well upon repeat viewings. You can see more Scotch tape and chicken wire every single time you watch it.

I am of the opinion that "The Dark Knight" is both a really great film BUT also a little bit overrated because of the surrounding circumstances. And on a given day I really am more apt to randomly pick "Batman Begins" off the shelf for a no-reason re-watch. But as far as any objective standard goes there's a mile between DK and DKR. There's just SO many little things wrong with "Rises" that simply aren't there in DK. Scripting problems, staging problems, a few bits of really dodgy acting (Talia's death scene. Was. HORRIBLE.)... these aren't make-believe things a person can just pretend aren't there. They're very real flaws that simply don't exist in DK.

Like I said, DK is a wee bit overrated but in what universe is "Rises" a better movie with all the stuff that's objectively wrong with it? Don't forget to show your work.

It's awful but I allow you to like it ironically.

That movie is 82% of the reason why I hope to one day drink mead out of Jim Carrey's hollowed-out goddamn skull.

Because you gotta have goals, y'see.
