In this film, Aldrich Killan is the real Mandarin, right?
I heard good things so far, obviously I'm seeing it next week.

As did I, though I accepted that we may not see the power rings as such, but with the first movie set up the whole "Ten Rings" terrorist group I was under the impression (and they'd pretty much said so in interviews) that it would be coming full circle.
Not really the case at all.

Depressed character with weakness, both physical and mental? Check.
Fake villain with the mastermind being close to one of the protagonists? Check.
The hero's female sidekick kills the bad guy? Check.

The hero coming out of retirement?
The hero subtly training a replacement?
The hero learning the entire reason for his retirement was a lie, and having a falling out with his father figure/closest friend and confidant for it?
An entire city going into isolation and descending into chaos under the threat of nuclear annihilation?
The hero apparently dying by diverting said nuclear annihilation?
Yeah, just like Dark Knight Rises...
By the way, what about Bane made him a fake villain?

No, it wasn't...
And TDKR was a piece of crap.

He wasn't really a fake villain, but he wasn't the mastermind behind everything.
prowl123 wrote:Kind of was. There are countless plot similarities as pointed out above.

Uh...by that reasoning, Darth Vader was a "fake villain."prowl123 wrote:Kind of was. There are countless plot similarities as pointed out above.
Countless? You pointed out three, that's hardly countless. And then I pointed out a bunch of major differences.

Darth Vader did all of the work for him. In TDKR and IM3, the real villain actually gets into combat, and is more sinister and formidable that the 'fake bad guy.'

Uh...the "real villain" so to speak of Dark Knight Rises, Talia? Didn't do any fighting. She got into a car chase and stabbed Batman, and did all the planning, but ultimately, Bane, your so-called "fake villain" did all the real fighting.
Dude, did you even see TDKR?
