A couple of days ago, I did a live tweet review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012). As always, I thought I would share the results with you all here on the blog. Enjoy.
Now strap yourselves in for 2 hours 40 minutes of House of Caine goodness as I live tweet THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. #DKRlivetweet

Even the supporting actors in this trilogy have fully formed character arcs (thinking of Commish Gordon). Caine's Albert too #DKRlivetweet

This opening sequence is pretty incredible. I seem to even be able to understand Bane on blu-ray. Awesome use of sound too #DKRlivetweet

I love this film, so won't point out every tiny plot hole. That said, it would be nice to know how Bane won so much devotion #DKRlivetweet

"A war hero, this is peace time" – great quote to set up what follows. #DKRlivetweet

Holy shit Michael Caine is great in this film. His character is a perfect extension from where it left off in the 2nd film #DKRlivetweet

If you don't love Joseph Gordon-Levitt, I'm not so sure we can be friends #DKRlivetweet

Crime in the sewers does give this film a delightul teenage mutant ninja turtles flavour #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Tom Hardy is steroid era Hulk Hogan buff in this film #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
The dialogue between Bane and Selina is pretty fantastic #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Tis suprising that no one got any acting noms for this film – Hathaway, Caine and even Bale #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Re-watching these last couple of Dark Knight films has reminded me of how great Alfred & Bruce Wayne's relationship is #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
I am actually liking Bane's voice watching the film this time. Does everyone else hate it or are there some fans? #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
The parting of ways between Wayne and Alfred is incredibly emotional. Brilliantly done #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
So much going on in that scene #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Add Aus's own Ben Mendehlsogn to the list of people who are sweet in this film. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Still not sure how I feel about all of the OWS/99% references throughout the film. Still don't entirely mesh for me. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Nolan is so good at giving this film a great sense of rhythm. Use of effects, action, sound all service that. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Is it too much for ask for there to be a @hitRECordJoe starring sidequel that is a gritty detective flick with 40s dialogue #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
"Is he in that stupid prison yet?" – my partner when she came in before. Well he is now. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
This football field scene is one of the most fantastic things ever pout onscreen. Close to perfect. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
It's not entirely a bad thing, but Batman does go missing from this Batman film for a fair while #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Woah. The un-backbreaking scene is intense. Bale really selling it. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
You know how he was able to escape the prison? Cos he's freakin Batman. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
The cameo of The Scarecrow is a pretty weird aspect of this film. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
You know how he was able to get back from the desert prison and then inside the city? Cause he's freakin Batman #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Some people have bagged the character, but I actually find Catwoman pretty interesting in this movie #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Final showdown is shot like an old school war scene between the fuzz and Bane's men. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Bane is a pretty good boxer. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Despite his lack of screentime, I still think Michael Caine deserved every Best Supporting Actor award going for this #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
Weird the film sets up a spinoff so beautifully for Gordon-Levitt but I haven't heard a single thing about the film happening. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
The film definitely has its issues if you want to focus on them. #DKRlivetweet
— Tim @ Five Rad Films (@beer_movie) July 2, 2013
But as a way of closing out the story arc of the trilogy, I think the Dark Knight Rises is an incredible finale. #DKRlivetweet

Verdict: Longneck of Melbourne Bitter

Probably my least favourite of the trilogy but I still enjoyed it. I wanted more Scarecrow though, I love Scarecrow! And I so wish they hadn’t shown us Bruce and Selina at the end. Just have Alfred nod towards the camera in recognition and then cut to black. That would have been the perfect end for me.
Yeah that ending could have worked well. I know a lot of people don’t like then ending. I’m an absolute sucker for it though, I really like it.
Fine stuff!
Thankyou sir.
