Apparently all of it. What's you point? How am I supposed to know that you don't think IB is also a "legitimate, no-strings-attached GOOD" movie?

Is it Good-good or Inglorious Basterds "good"?
"that system has a sun" was what lost me. There was no coming back after that.
Merry Christmas.

Ha, yeah the giant alien robots have yet to show up. I'll update as soon as they do.
If that movie taught us anything it's that the safest place to be during an invasion is in the middle of a napalm strike.
We have a strict no-gun policy. The number of gun related deaths has been on a steady decline from 111 in 2002 to 20 in 2011. That's 20 shooting victims out of 38 million people.
There's a higher number of degrees, a lower number, and an in-between that just feels comfortable.
Unless you're this guy:
Very interesting indeed. If we could get propulsion systems that can go at even 1/5th the speed of light, we could make the journey in 60 years. I suspect we'll have unmanned missions to Alpha Centauri well before this happens though, perhaps even in our life-times (though probably not).

I mean, I get not liking it, or not liking parts of it, but not even watching Captain America before hand and then not caring, doesnt bode well for a movie review.
TBH you only need to watch the trailer and you're set.
Somewhere someone is pitching that script, with Michael Bay's name on it.
The Core 2: Mars
Terraforming Mars.
If there is no indiginous life on Mars, we could start dumping all manner of organic gunk there and just see what sticks. Bacteria, lichen, mushrooms, moss, algae, extremophiles of all sorts, whole barges full of landfill and sewage, whatever. Whatever takes hold, we throw more of that at it along with some basic plants that can live in it. Then we're on our way to colonies.
That's not going to work unless you can get Mars' core working again and bring the magnetic field back. Otherwise our Sun will make sure everyone is going to have a bad day.
1.) How did the Joker plan the gap in the buses when he drove away from the bank? There just happened to be a perfect gap?
He's not working alone. All he needed is another bus and a driver. No big leap of faith required there since The Joker is shown working 'with' other peopele during and after the bank heist.
2.) Why didn't the mob security guard just spit out the grenade? We don't see Joker secure it in his mouth.
What if it explodes on impact? Could you recognize the grenade type by taste only?
For the scene to work Fichtner's character would have to keep biting down on the safety lever to prevent the grenade from exploding. Which, if you look closely, he does in one of the scenes. It doesn't matter anyway because his hand are free the whole time so it makes little sense either way. The best we can do is to blame his lack of logical thinking on fear.
3.) How did Harvey and Rachel end up in their respective barrel rooms?
Harvey was picked up by Wuertz, Rachel by Ramirez.
Yes, we see Harvey get driven away by the cop he kills later, but the cop claims " I didn't know what they were going to do to you." So where did he take him?
He just dropped him off in front of the building and Joker's goons took it from there. He didn't have to know about the explosives.
DENT
This is where they brought her Gordon. After your men handed her over. This is where she died.
As for Rachel, one minute she's leaving the penthouse, next minute she's tied to a chair surrounded by barrels.
The last time we see Rachel before she gets blown to bits is when Harvey gives her the coin before the big chase. In that scene Ramirez is standing next to her.
4.) Bruce seems to rely almost entirely on Mr. Fox for technology development and implementation. So then how was he able to singlehandedly use and upgrade the sonar gobbledegook without him?
They hint at that actually:
REESE
(...) now you've got the entire R and D department burning through cash claiming it's related to cell phones for the army (...)
and
FOX
Mr Wayne, did you reassing R and D?
WAYNE
Yes. Government telecomunications project.
So it's indicated that he's using his company to get the tech developed. Which makes way more sense than reprogramming an autopilot for a one of a kind, experimental, flying vehicle by himself.
5.) The whole "Jim Gordon faking his death so Joker will try and capture Harvey" plan.
I'll get back to that one later
If there's some points in the movie that explain these plotholes that I just missed, please point them out.
They're not plotholes, they're nitpicks There are many more in TDK but they're minor and don't take you out of the movie. Here's my list: http://downinfront.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1072 I encourage you to go through it and explain some of them. It'll improve my TDKR watching experience
Dark Knight has nitpicks too. People just seem to ignore them or say they are inconsequential because of Joker.
Ok, aside from the 'Batman leaves The Joker alone in a room with rich people' and 'bullet/fingerprint reconstruction magic' (you can throw in the sonar in there too if you like) what are the most obvious nitpicks about TDK that take you out of the movie?
Sure, there are some minor nitpicks but what film doesn't?
"Some minor nitpicks"? I got over 20 on my first viewing. I don't think that qualifies as 'some' (especially if you're using the word nitpicks). If you're making a realistic Batman movie you don't get to suddenly throw logic out of the window.
I'm not saying you can't like it. But don't say it's the best of the trilogy. It might be your favourite, but it's not the best.
Don't get wrong, I love TDK's version of the Joker, you just can't top Heath Ledgers performance, but as far as motivation goes he really had none, he was just insane.
As opposed to Bane who was a villain 'because of love'?
The Dark Knight Rises was a better movie then The Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight Rises didn't disappoint me, since I already knew nobody could out-Legder Heath Ledger anyway.
But that wasnt' the problem with TDKR. It's everything else
I'm okay with the two-pilot thing. You don't get a single person to captain a ship, or fly a rocket.
There are co-pilots but it's not like one controls the left wing and one controls the right wing.
When Armstrong again looked outside, he saw that the computer's landing target was in a boulder-strewn area just north and east of a 300 metres (980 ft) diameter crater (later determined to be "West crater", named for its location in the western part of the originally planned landing ellipse). Armstrong took semi-automatic control[18] and, with Aldrin calling out altitude and velocity data, landed at 20:17 UTC on July 20 with about 25 seconds of fuel left.[19]
One controls the heavy thing and the other one reads stuff out so the pilot can focus on not killing everyone on board. If the mechs operate in a similar way, where one guy controls the movement and the other gets all radar/sensor data and controls the weapons then I'm cool with it.
Red Eye 9, Pacific Rim
This must be the ugly one in the family
del Toro stated that the two pilots are neurally linked so they move in sync. One controls the right side of the robot, one controls the left.
That doesn't make any sense.
We gotta win this war any way we can!".
And then they talk Hitler to death
