A ****up is different than outright fraud, though.

It's more difficult to suspend that part than it is for something like the Avengers and Thor being a Norse god. In TDKR, it's supposed to be fairly "realistic," whereas the Avengers is just straight up comic book fantasy and fun. There's no real expectation of a sense of reality there, but there very much IS for TDKR.

Similar to Nolan's previous works, this movie was an incredible inspiration to me in terms plot development/rising actions/plot twists. Some may feel that Nolan's affinity for plot twists may be a creative weakness, but, his plot twists are such a breath of fresh air compared to the "standard" movies I've seen as of late.

There were a few occasions where I had to leave reality at the door throughout the movie, but, I didn't have to this any more than I had to for the previous works in the trilogy. It's a necessity to suspend reality for many forms of visual entertainment, and when examining TDKR, I do not believe I had to put aside reality any more than I had to for a movie like "Drive," which was my favorite movie of 2011.

All in all, it was an "A" movie for me, and probably my second favorite of the trilogy. (But I'll need to see it again before I can say that with certainty.)

This movie will be the first ever I will see a second time in theaters

Don't complain about realism in this movie when in the first movie he called bats by pressing a button on a remote on the bottom of his boot. It's a comic book superhero, grow up and understand that you have to suspend reality in movies.

Are you kidding? TDK had a bunch of suspend reality moments too. Particularly with the money parts.

Give me some good movies to watch. Seriously. PM me if you want. Ive been seriously needing some great movie injection into my life. It's been kind of stale for me lately.

Of course. All the movies did. This instance, in particular, stuck out more than the others to the point that it bothers me. Maybe it's because it's tied in with the stock market scene, which seemed completely unnecessary. The warp-speed sunset was crazy. I mean, I can suspend disbelief that there's a vehicle out there called the Bat that flies faster than missiles, but it's much more difficult to believe that the earth rotates more quickly in the Batman universe . . .

Like I said, though, it's my favorite out of all of the Nolan Batman movies, even though it does have some pretty obvious flaws in the storyline. That's okay, though. I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Meh. I watch all kinds of movies, I just don't feel the need to tear them apart. To each their own.

The only movies I tore apart would have been the Harry Potter movies and that was only because I read the books.

I hate it when people cry that a movie isn't realistic enough.

Especially when it's a fantasy/scifi/superhero movie like this one.

Someone else may already have indicated this, but Wayne fixed the auto-pilot on the thing. There was a reference afterwards to, errr, Morgan Freeman's character looking into the previously broken auto-pilot that he had mentioned someone with more free time than he had (i.e. Wayne) should fix, and he got a report back that it had been fixed six months ago.

So apparently long before the thing blew, he set the autopilot and jumped out.

I still love the movie. My fave of the 3, by far.

So you complain about this, but the 10 year old (or whatever) girl jumping the distance to get out the pit, when many highly conditioned, full grown men, can't, was ok with you?

Or the stunning discovery that dislocated vertebrae can be fixed by pounding them back into place?

Your ability to suspend disbelief needs a little fine tuning...

If I'm not mistaken though...We see a shot of him still in the Batwing just 5 seconds before the bomb detonates.

How could he have jumped out and escaped the blast radius with only 5 seconds to spare?

I watch great movies. I just don't pick them apart to the point where it sounds like I hate them.

When he fixed the Bat autopilot, he also installed an impenetrable outer shell, which protected him from the blast.
