Haaaaaaated Marion Cotillard's character and portrayal.
Yeah, I didn't care for the character, didn't trust her (or maybe that was leftover from Inception). Had no idea why she was there, other than to resolve certain plot holes and perhaps be romantic competition for Catwoman. Kind of a waste.
I liked the first two better.
I thought the dark knioght rises was the second movie. Trying to find the one I missed on IMDB but not successful. Can someone explain?
Ah, wait, the first one is named Batman Begins. Not the Dark Knight something. I haven't actually seen that one. >.>
They should've introduced Mal in the second movie.

I came out of tdkr more positive than where i am now as well.I find myself cooling on the film, the opposite of Inception.

I always loved inception, and tdk just gets better and better.
Inception suffers from "do it for the children!" that I thought was unearned. It's more blatantly manipulative than any of the Batman movies.
For some reason that seemed realistic to me -- people putting pressure on him for the kids. I mean, manipulative? Yes, I suppose... but I've had those very exact experience and pressures in life, and I understand what it means to be a parent and having to pit my love for my kids and wanting to make their lives easier against doing what I think is best in the long term. I didn't feel like those impulses from Michael Caine to Cobb, and from Cobb to Mal, and vice versa, etc., were unwarranted -- they are a HUGE part of what being a parent is, and Cobb wants to get back to his kids. That's what made the movie good to me. It wasn't just for me, it's because he loved his children.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The kids didn't inspire any pathos, they were just things. Did his kids even exist? I thought the big reveal would be that Mal killed the kids before she killed herself. And then Leo would wake up on Shutter Island under the care of Dr. Jonathon Crane.
I guess that wasn't the movie he wanted to tell... kind of like your advice to those who didn't like TDKR.
I think a single flashback scene with the children would've won me over. Too much Mal.
