I dub thee... king of condescension.
The Artist
Interesting. I don't know if there's much to say that hasn't been said. I wasn't blown away, but it was competently made and enjoyable.
The Dark Knight Rises
Speechless.
I was absolutely blown away by the film. I had heard mixed reviews, but it far surpassed any of my expectations.
Nolan wrapped up his contribution to the Batman universe in such a way that he wouldn't have to make another film, but a different director would be able to without ripping off his vision.
That is now number one on my favorite movies list.
I have a feeling it's going to be there for a while.

The Secret Garden
It would have been a really good film if the kids weren't so mean. Besides that, it was great. Also, chicken lady.
My Neighbour Totoro
THis was even better than the last time I saw it. People who don't like this film have no soul.
The Dark Knight Rises
That was really intense. I loved it.
I, too re-watched the first two of Nolan's Batman films just for fun.
Are We There Yet? (2004)
I remember watching this film a very long time ago. It's still as good as it is today.
9/10
The Dark Knight Rises
It's cool Nolan, just change the whole city of Gotham I'm sure nobody will notice.
Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol
What a dissapointing movie! The third one by J.J Abrams was great but this one wasn't good. Philip Seymour Hoffman was a really good badguy with many cool monologs, the villain in the fourth movie does not have any screen time at all and he doesn't even say anything. 2/5!:|
The Dark Knight Rises
A thrilling, well-made spectacle and a fitting conclusion to Nolan's trilogy, but falls short of being great. Structurally, I think it's the weakest of the Batman films; the pacing stutters around and the first act takes a while to get going. Bane, intimidating and menacing as he was, is probably the least-memorable of Nolan's villains because he lacks the kind of dimension and development other villains have had.
More than all of that, there was a greater sense of immediacy and unpredictability to The Dark Knight that Rises lacked. The Joker and his violence was more disturbing (and thrilling) because it was so random and unpredictable, and that film had the feeling that something bad could happen at any moment. Nolan definitely upped the stakes for Rises more so than TDK, but if anything, such organized, grand-scale destruction sort of reduces it to standard-issue superhero fare rather than TDK's subversion of the genre.
This is a very good film by regular standards, but when compared to its predecessor, it falls a bit short.
The Incredibles
Seriously, I hadn't seen this movie since it first came out. I remember liking it but since I was really young I didn't get any of the jokes, or the story for that matter. Upon re-watching it again, I liked it even better (because it made sense) but Bomb Voyage is still the best character.
Ugh gosh. I'm 14 and I'm still scared of that guy.
What are you trying to say?
I was just saying that some people don't like overly complicated plots.
It wasn't complicated, I just didn't really like it.
The Dark Knight Rises
Very good film. While I do have to admit the film started out a little slow, the movie picks up very well after about the middle. The movie has, in my opinion, the best action scenes out of all the Batman films period (And this includes the previous Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher films).
My biggest grip about the film, though, is its structure. It slightly feels to me as if this was supposed to be two movies.
I mean, right after Bats has his first fight with Bane, during which Bane does, more or less, the only thing his character ever existed to do, the learn to be Batman again arc starts right the heck over again. It breaks up what might have been a good flow.
That said, once the plot starts to pick up in the second half, those problems seem to go away, replaced with the series' best action scenes, a fantastic score, great cinematography, and the editing of the action scenes is Oscar Caliber. And I give them props for lifting one of the best Batman lines ever from Kingdom Come.
All in all, even with a bit of structural problems, the movie is thoroughly enjoyable. Though I must admit, I feel as though I liked The Avengers a bit more. But still an enjoyable romp and a must see.

I also saw The Dark Knight Rises and loved it. But out of the whole trilogy The Dark Knight will always be my favorite.
