[Mac Sirloin]

Scruffy was my favourite character until he was actually a character.

I watched The Dark Knight Rises. I think The Dark Knight was better overall. It just seemed like they lost their grasp on keeping the narrative and setting solid. TDKR just felt really melodramatic and overwrought with emotion for the first third, BUT it did an excellent job of establishing Bane as a really formidable force. Then the second half kinda shoehorns all kinds of needless little ties to Rh'as al Ghul or whatever his name is, and there was League of Shadows this and League of Shadows that, and Bane lost that potency his presence had. He kinda became like an angry baboon popping up hither a thither to do something loud to Gotham. Christian Bale's performance just seemed shitty. His acting was just...iffy. Overall it was really fun, definitely worth watching just to see this bizarre trilogy meet its end, but TDK was a better movie.
