The Dark Knight Rises



Got the tickets for me and the brother, 4.50pm BST Friday. Soundtrack stuck on repeat.

Just hope I don't hype it too much and it doesn't deliver
 
Considering the only thing that saved Dark Knight from being total turdified crap was Heath ledger, this hasn't got a hope in hell. Holy bat shit bat turd!

Enjoy buddy. There is an initial screening locally at 9am. May book this, but will probably be surrounded by nerds in costumes for that first one. Probably the best time though as the later screenings are always full of annoying students here.

Will be difficult to replace Heath Ledger, but Tom Hardy should be good in the role of Bane. Liked him in Warrior anyway.

Cineworld Didsbury perchance?
 
Empire:

With spectacle in abundance, this is superhero filmmaking on an unprecedented scale.

Hollywood Reporter:

Big-time Hollywood filmmaking at its most massively accomplished, this last installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy makes everything in the rival Marvel universe look thoroughly silly and childish.

HitFix:

…one of the year’s most impressive efforts so far in any genre, on any subject … Whoever Warner Bros hires to reboot the “Batman” films a few years from now, I wish you luck. The bar is as high as it could possibly be.

Rolling Stone:

…the sheer scope of Nolan’s vision – with emotion and spectacle thundering across the screen – is staggering.

*stolen from here.


Don't get me wrong. A lot of critics seem developmentally retarded. But Nolan is one of the most reliable directors working in Hollywood today.
 
I thought it was good not great. Slightly disappointed, but that's because I had really high expectations. I enjoyed it--just not as good as the Dark Knight, and I was expecting it to be better.
 
Just saw it. Pretty awesome. Obviously nothing can compare to the Dark Knight but it was a bit darker and more intense I would say.
 
Solid 8.5/10. I need to see it again because their were some stupid cunts behind me talking about how cute Christian Bale and JGL were the entire time. They were calling Bane an "angry monkey" and giggled every time he came on screen.

To me, it wasn't "perfect" because of the PG-13 rating. I could tell that they held back the doom and gloom in order to keep it appropriate for a larger audience.

My fav. part of the second movie was when the Joker blew up the police station/harvey/girlfriend and stole the police car. That silent scene that showed him with his head out of the car window was dreadful and hopeless and fucking awesome. I didn't really get that feeling from this movie.

It still had some big moments. The balaclava (Batman) scene for one.

Heath Ledger just set the bar too high in the Joker role, but Tom Hardy was still decent as Bane imo.
