I watched the first three episodes for the first time in years yesterday. Opening with a villain that isnt Joker is a risky move, the sort only true geniuses pull off

SD ruins it. They need a 1080p remaster

 

[Error]

the intro of BTAS is still the best intro of any cartoon ever.

Yeah it's looking a bit dated. But fuck me if it isn't entertaining.

They were, but the latter never gets as much love.

I read 'Edgar' as 'Ebert' on the previous page.

and yes gargoyles and of course BTAS was fucking great.

Friend just saw it: "incredible moments" but "disappointing, messy, cold, cheesy" and "terrible ending."

He's not much of a Nolan fan though. An uberfan that's a friend is seeing it later tonight, will provide more impressions. Then I'm checking it out tomorrow.

Apparently I missed out on bad review meltdown?

Most reviews seem to be praising the ending.

That's because it had far too many Star Trek alumni.

Free tickets to a private screening Thursday night.

Profit.

Yeah, which makes his opinion super odd. Once it gets released and we all see it, will ask why he hated it so much.

Is your friend Devin ? Or Tapley ?

 

[Wilbur]

I loved the ending

 

[Sn4ke_911]

I loved the ending

and i already know i will love it too.

IN NOLAN WE TRUST!

One thing I'll say now is that the reviews saying 'somewhere in this 160 minute movie there's a fantastic 90 minute one'... bollocks. I could think of 5 minutes you could cut at a push, but by and large there's nothing that feels extraneous to the rest of the film. I loved the Hong Kong sequence in TDK but it could have been shortened by 15 minutes by keeping Lau in Gotham, things like that. But it uses up the running time very well. There's really not much flab at all.

I'll believes it when I sees it. It's so rare to see a movie this long that doesn't suffer from fluffiness.

Saw these today at my local theatre. I asked the manager what they plan to do with them after the film and he said, "Toss them in the bin". I then asked if I could possibly take them off his hands and he agreed. Hopefully I'll have these in a few weeks. They are really huge so I may sell them. PM me to register your interest

Edit: Okay, I didn't expect that many replies so quickly! lol. I'm not going to reply back right now, but I've noted your queries and I'll get back to you if there is anything.

Oh yeah, well its all subjective I suppose. But it certainly flows better than TDK. It really doesn't feel like 3 hours long, it flies by (lol like the bat see what I did there lol)

That's crazy that none of their employees would take them

TDK flew by the first time too. It tends to be on a repeat viewing (for me anyways) where any clunkiness/bloatedness sets in.

I remember coming out of the TDK screening loving it but still thinking there's a bit or two that could have been cut.

I'll see how it holds up I suppose, the test of any movie, which is why I'm a little reluctant to go into ZOMG mode.

I get the feeling a lot of critics have only seen TDK once though.

Speaking of bats. Has anyone ever heard of these?:

I just discovered them yesterday and I want them nuked from orbit.

booooo

Will DMczaf vs. Wilbury be on the super mega awesome happy 1000th Raw?

 

[Wilbur]

what the fuck is that

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Don't tell me this is real.

How big are these fuckers?

oh my god.

 

[shira]

[TacticalFox88]

Do you think things would be better had Bane and Joker, and their respective plots, swapped places?

Without question. If the Dark Knight was the Third film, the entire trilogy would be in a tier by itself.

They're fruit eaters.

and they're fuzzy. Why the nuke talk?!

 

[.GqueB.]

I'm sorry everyone... but this thing exists.

For a better idea of scale:

first timers... length doesn't make one bit of difference.....

 

[BY2K]

oh my god.

Jesus Christ. Good thing they are fruit eaters!

 

[Freewheelin']

Srsly what the fuck.

I'm afraid

BECAUSE LOOK AT THEM!!!

You mean to tell me that if one of those were flying toward you you'd think "oh it's fine it's a fruit eater". I'd run for my life screaming like a little girl.

 

[Joel Was Right]

oh my god.

They are genuinely beautiful

 

[vicissitudes]

Exactly. Man Solo can be really off about some things (like Mission Impossible) but he'd dead on when it comes to Batman.

 

[.GqueB.]

They're making me cry.

 

[BY2K]

I wanna pet one! Their head look all fuzzy!
