Chicago Tribune review is spoilerific. I read a few paragraphs and decided it was not a good idea to finish.

 

[Shrennin]

no idea honestly...I watched TDK at the one in charlotte and the domed screen just kind of made it look weird. I'll probably check out TDKR there sometime for the hell of it, but i'm just gonna watch it first at a liemax

Could you still tell what was going on? I got tickets at a 15/70 IMAX but I didn't realize it was a dome screen. The tickets are non-refundable so I'm pretty much locked in.

30 hours until I see this at Warner Bros.

I need to rewatch Batman Begins today. It's been awhile since I've watched that one.

 

[Superimposer]

It's kind of pointless. It's like asking Gates or Zuck's salary. When you start getting into these big numbers there are obviously other factors are work which determine compensation.

Yes I know, I just find it interesting

Yeah, I just read some very spoilerific review too. WTF is wrong with these people.

Yeah it was completely understandable. Its just the screen is like a planetarium, it surrounds your whole frame of vision and the corners are curved. It was still cool, I just kind of wished I had seen it on a flat screen first. I don't really remember exactly how the imax shots looked compared to the rest of the movie, it might be better for TDKR since more of the movie is filmed like that.

kind of like this

Okay, thanks! That alleviates my fears a bit.

kirk honeycutt Rt reviewer review

To whomever takes up the directorial reigns, however, I can only say two words: Good luck. You’re not going to top this.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

All depends on if you're going to include actors who get a big chunk of the back end gross or if you're talking about an up front fee.

I think Arnold might still have the highest up front at $30m back in 03


Otherwise Keanu might be one of the biggest for back end salaries because of his producer credit.

Where does Nicholson fit in for Bat 89? I remember reading or hearing that with the way his contract was structured he got paid for Bat 89, Bat Returns and Bat Forever.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Was watching TDK on blu-ray and noticed the Begins train is actually in a bunch of shots.

lol, yeahy. I'm pretty sure the tribune was basically an entire plot synopsis. Not exactly the best written review.

 

[Ricky_R]

Such a shame that there isn't an IMAX theater here.

 

[blainethemono]

Okay, thanks! That alleviates my fears a bit.

Just make sure you don't get stuck sitting too close. You want to get a seat as far back as possible, or maybe in the middle somewhere

Jeez they were just giving out free salaries.

Really?

I don't remember seeing them. Where exactly do you see them?

EDIT: found this image

You can see the BB tracks on the right side of the screen in the background.

Any more than this?

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to try to do that. I also heard that if you sit in the middle it engulfs your whole field of vision, but if you sit on the edge of the projector (either right side or left) then it will look more like a screen. I may not be able to get there before 30 minutes before showtime so I hope I can get nice seats. It's on the 21st so I guess I'll see.

pretty sure that honeycutt review contains a massive spoiler. fuck

Every single review has a spoiler whichis why everyone is posting qoutes andscores only

 

[Daft_Cat]

James Berardinelli of Reelviews (top critic), just tweeted that TDKR delivers. He gave the first film 3.5/4 and the second a 4/4.

Sounds like he'll be giving one of those two scores for TDKR, as well.

yeah, i gotta stop clicking on them. oh well.

 

[clutch.as.it.gets.]

So what´s the quintessence of all the reviews? Is this movie more like Begins or more like the Dark Knight?

I`m very busy with work and don`t have time to check all the reviews.

 

[Wilbur]

Honeycutt says:

What this film really is, arguably of course, is the conclusion of the best film trilogy in popular cinema.

I think I agree. It's between that and Indy for me (fuck KOTCS)

Sounds like it's closer to Begins than TDK. Though upping the spectacle of course

 

[Inferno313]

Wut.

 

[Sanjuro]

I'm amazed by how much people care about reviews. At the same time, I don't venture to the gaming side much anymore. Seems to be the culprit.

I don't think there is any consensus yet, but the feeling is that it ties everything in with BB and that you have to know or have seen that movie for this movie to work best. Epic scale of TDK but the story tie in and focus on Bruce from BB.

Apparently it's a beautiful mix.

 

[nitric0]

Wut.

Was about to post this. LOL WUT indeed

 

[Solo]

Unethical and dangerous too, FYI.

 

[Daft_Cat]

An absolute must see! The Dark Knight Rises is one of the best films of the all time!

2/5 very poor.

[Jarmel]

Wut.

Welp shows what he thinks about popular cinema. lololol

 

[EdibleExplosives]

The average rating has dropped 0.1 points, flop confirmed.

 

[Sanjuro]

Wut.

18%

Your phone is getting slaughtered on Rotten Tomatoes. Truly the best phone in popular culture.

Massive spoilers in that Honeycutt review, for people that are thinking about reading it

also way back left.

at least 3 more shots than that one.
never noticed them before this viewing.

Wilbury can you confirm or deny some epic bit-players a la falafel guy/no more dead cops cop

 

[Quackula]

Well man name some specifics!

 

[Daft_Cat]

at least 3 more shots than that one.

I can think of one more.. (Establishing shot of Bruce's penthouse before his party).

Any others?

im about to turn it back on and see specifically which scenes.

Edit: fastforwarded and I can't even find the second one that I know is there.

 

[Wilbur]

No one as good as nice coat, but drunken congressman and rookie cop with trigger finger provide small amounts of mirth.

Thanks. Sounds promising. I liked Begins more than the Dark Knight.

 

[Fry]

Screw your RT

Is it just me or Michael Caine looked like Simon Baker?

 

[FunnyBunny]

I rewatched Begins and TDK last night; I forgot how great the are. The scenes where Batman takes out the goons at the docks in Begins and his assault on the SWAT team in TDK are just so awesome.

And the RAGE when he goes after Sal in the nightclub? AWESOME.

 

[Talon]

I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself.

Look what I did to this thread with a few out of context quotes and Rotten Tomatoes reviews. Hmmm?

You know...You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying!

If, tomorrow, I tell GAF that, like, a junior poster will get banned, or Solo plays with Nolan-GAF, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that one little old movie won't have a 90% RT rating, well then everyone LOSES THEIR MINDS!!!
