RE: yes, I cared when........ (spoiler alert)

Posted by user510 on August 4, 2012 at 19:13:53:
it was revealed who the mastermind behind Bane was. I thought that was an interesting plot twist.
I cared when Alfred abandoned Bruce Wayne. And then to see Wayne beaten by Bane and taken to that dungeon on the farthest end of the planet.
We knew that Wayne would eventually escape, but I cared when he did.
I cared when Gordon escaped from Bane's henchmen.
I cared when Selina decided to stay and fight for the cause rather than turn away and escape to save herself.
But so far I have failed to address your question. Did I care about anything that was said. I guess I'd have to say that I don't recall that much dramatic dialogue. Except unless you count some of the scenes with Michael Caine's character Alfred. And perhaps it may ring a bit hollow there. Myself I can never bring myself to understand how a butler can feel too much loyalty for his/her employers. It is too much like slaves adoring their masters. (not) Or perhaps dogs showing loyalty to their owner/masters.
So no. I can't recall any good dramatic dialogue. On the other hand, this movie isn't about dialogue. It is about action. In fact there is a line spoken by Rachel in the first movie, Batman Begins: "It's what we do that defines us". And all three movies adhere to this. It is what all the characters -do- that counts. Not so much what they say. Lots of doing. Not so much talking about doing.

Anyway. It is just a comic book. (I don't really see "graphic novels" as anything more than comic books.)
To sum; I don't take it too seriously. But I was willing to allow myself to escape into that story. On the other hand, I won't go back to see it again. I've seen enough.
