*Shrug* All I know is he gave it an 8.5 which is a perfectly acceptable score, but from what I understand, he's been quite vocal against the film since, if not quick to point out the criticisms.
I'm not a huge fan of its design either, but then I didn't really like the Batpod either and it eventually won me over.

WowLets see the seats boys. Heres my friends and mine for Liemax, not to shabby.
AA1,28
BB1,28
CC1,28
Are some bad seats
That whole AA row is screwed.
I don't understand how people can find so many connections from the Nolan films to them arguing on behalf or against a major political party. I mean, yes it may have some commentary on the human condition and how we act, but they have never seemed to sway to either side. The fuck man?
Devin has never, and will never care for Batman. He just doesn't like the character and brings his politics into it every time he discusses him.
And don't get him started on Batman fans, which he thinks are somehow different from every crazy fanboy cliq on the internet. He wrote that article about Batman fans yesterday, yet never said a word when Amy Nicholson at boxoffice.com was harassed for giving the first negative review of Avengers. Can't let people know that all fanboys react the same way, it's only those crazy Bat fans.
Because political activists on both sides:
a) Have no life
b) See politics in everything, even entertainment
c) Must turn everything into politics.

Ha, only three idiots so far. I'm sure there will be some walk-ins to fill them up though.

So you're telling me I should have went to Charlotte? I think you're right. I'm driving from good ol' Sumter and Charlotte is 30 minutes closer than Charleston. I hate that I made that mistake but I'm sure everything is sold out in Charlotte and I can't get a refund for my tickets at Charleston.
Eh.
I'm not sure how tall it is. I'll call and ask.
It did for me too, but the production pics and some of the trailers weren't doing it for me until I saw it in the context of the movie. That was a great introduction to the vehicle.

I'd just see it on a liemax screen first and then maybe see it later on the dome screen in charlotte if you feel like it...its a completely different experience. i'm pretty sure tickets are still available for the discovery place omnimax for everything except 12:01 am

We don't talk about Prometheus here
edit: oh, and James Berardinelli, who loved the first two films and is one of my fave critics, posted his review.

Pretty good review, lots of spoilers though and is being a bit harsh on Bane compared to Joker.

Batman Returns is on tv, and that scene is fucking hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

Positive or negative overall?
Positive overall, thinks TDK is the ESB of the trilogy (ie the best), but finds it a great conclusion nonetheless. 3.5/4 stars
Very positive, 3.5/4
Says the strongest of the 3 is TDK as it was more daring and edgy, and Joker was its trump card. But the trilogy as a whole is phenomenal, and TDKR is a continuation of what's great already.

3.5/4 stars, although he still thinks TDK is better, and Bane compared to Joker is "It's like comparing Alan Rickman's bad guy in Die Hard to the adequate, generic one who followed in Die Hard 2."
Which is pretty damning
Village Voice pan.
spoilers, etc.
From the first paragraph the author does not seem to be a Nolan fan.

Good thing I find Joker super overrated aside from the performance. Joker had zero depth so it's not like Bane could possibly be any worse.
That seems really out of place with the rest of the review. Hardy won't get a nomination in the same way Neeson didn't, but he's fantastic.
As good as Ledger is, I honestly do think the only reason he won was because he died. The Oscars love sentimentalism.

Am I the only person that liked Dent/Two Face more than Joker?
Nope. I liked him just as much, maybe more. Eckhart was phenomenal.

Oh hell no. Way better character with development and an actual arc. I understand that Joker is Joker and isn't a character that really needs development or an arc as he's settled in his ways, but that does open his character up for criticism as far as I'm concerned.
I think in the context of TDK he worked perfectly. Harvey was the centre of the film, and Joker worked incredibly well as this anarchic force with no background, no development. Maybe over the course of a few films he'd need it, or if he was the focus point. But no, I think he worked perfectly in tandem with the rest of the film.

Is this being shown thursday morning? A couple places have tickets for thursday morning at 12:01 but nothing on friday until like 11AM. Is this a mess up by fandango or is the game actually being shown at 3 AM on thursday?

I completely agree. Definitely won't argue there, but that's my reasoning for liking Dent much more.

I was under the impression that after Friday spoilers could be posted, I guess that's not true? I hope I'm wrong since I was going to avoid this thread til I see the movie. I'll probably avoid it anyway, just in case.
Nope. Eckhart gets better with every rewatch, with a more limited role. Not to discredit Ledger, but Joker as written was much more elastic in its potential to be great or terrible.
Another Countdown Trailer
with split seconds of new stuff, but mostly for new Bane line (well, "new" but old at the same time)

When it hits Friday I'm going to post a link to the review I've written (which isn't a structured review, more just things about the film) and then open up the spoiler thread in conjunction with this one. Really don't want to ruin it for anyone.
It'll probably be like the Avengers thread where the OT is just for casual impressions for the first weekend or so, with a spoiler topic being where the real plot discussion takes place.

I like Bane's 'accent'/way of speaking. It's like old school posh English.
I've been quoting him all day, he's such a cool character.

I wonder how quotable this movie is compared to TDK.

Yeah, on my rewatch last night was actually my first time thinking about Dent's coin being two headed when he was threatening the Rachel name tag guy. Made me enjoy him and that scene even more, don't know why I hadn't thought about that before.
You mean BB?
