Sculli, you promised that when I risen from my slumber, you would be there to cradle my head and whisper sweet nothings about The Dark Knight Rises and how amazing it is. Where are you!?

Lol yeh all three back to back was some effort. But not really. Wide awake through it all.

Kinda think batman begins as a movie is still my fav. But joker is the star of the series still. I like origin stories tho

Heeeeps of cameos in rise, there where more than a hand full of times the theater cheered. But all fans i guess to be at a midnight screening.

Cat woman.... Not as lame as I was worried it might be. They pulled that off mostly. The ending left me wanting more.


Tom hardy is almost unrecognisable from last time I saw him, in warrior. Huge!... I guess the mask plays a part. But yeh.


4am here so tine for bed.


Hard to rank because all three had elements that shine..

Begins > tdk > rise

Rex Reed who has given rotten reviews to every Nolan movie

Turning a mosh pit of mystical comic book gimmicks into a money pit of metaphysical mumbo jumbo, Christopher Nolan gives new meaning to both DUI and DWI—“Directing Under the Influence” and “Directing While Intoxicated”—while raking in millions. I’ll have what he’s having.

Like all previous flicks directed by Christopher Nolan and written by his brother Jonathan, this one defies logic and reeks of repulsive, bloated self-importance (not to be confused with anything resembling narrative) and the arrogant conviction that no matter how slick, obtuse, confounding or incompetent it gets, the fanboys will slobber approval. Only a fool would tackle a synopsis

if I could only make one lick of sense out of what this nonsense is all about. Silly pop-culture comic book cinema about grown men in rubber masks and Styrofoam jock straps is bad enough, but incomprehensible gibberish to boot is just plain unacceptable. Halfheartedly, I give The Dark Knight Rises—the third and final Batflick in the Nolan trilogy—one star for eardrum-busting sound effects and glaucoma-inducing computerized images in blinding Imax, but talk about stretching things. That’s all most immature audiences require for their hard-earned money these days. The rest of it should not be reviewed by anyone over the age of 12.

So in his hyperbole, he turned to a word he didn't fully understand: narrative. Is he really trying to convince me the movie has anything remotely resembling a plot. What a joke, and a troll. I mean, I get legitimate criticisms like the other negative reviewers, but this guy is just doing it to bring hits and that disgusts me. He's like an evil version of the Falafel guy.
 
I just remembered there should be a Man of Steel teaser with TDKR in Australia hopefully Sculli can comment on that too if it's any different than the comic con one.

It is, confirmed by the director himself. The Comic Con one was cut for the Comic Con crowd specifically to get them hyped, while the one with TDKR is about a minute shorter and aimed at more mainstream audiences.

Is Bane's voice really that bad? It's sounded a lot clearer in newer trailers, but some of these reviews...

Well, humans actually do a lot of "hearing" by unintentionally looking at moving lips. It's a crutch, in a way.

You obviously don't have that with a mask.

I know I'm like the lone conservative on GAF, but this kind of misrepresents what he was saying and the context.

It was Democrat analysts and bloggers who started the Bain/Bane connection: http://washingtonexaminer.com/romneys-new-foe-batmans-bane/article/2502274

Not that I really want to turn this into a political debate.
 
I never had a problem with Batman's voice in either BB or TDK, I never understood the hate for it. Yea it was growly in TDK but I didn't notice it until people started complaining. Was a complete non issue imo.

He won't see it. They aren't attaching the Man of Steel teaser to midnight showings in Australia.

I didn't really notice it until someone made fun of it and I read complaints about it online. Now everytime I watch the movie it sounds more and more rediculous. He definitely over did it
 
His TDK review is hilarious

Some folks take metaphysical pleasure from the New Batman Philosophy According to Christopher Nolan: that good and evil lurk side by side in everyone, including Batman. But in my opinion, every Batman movie is about only one thing: action hero (the caped crusader with wings) vs. bad guys (everyone else). Writer-director Nolan’s Batman Begins, with its surreal and mystical mumbo jumbo about playboy Bruce Wayne’s beginnings, remains the worst Batman movie I’ve ever seen, although the comic-book addicts disagree. The Dark Knight takes up where it left off, but if it’s a follow-up that introduces a comprehensive sociopath called the Joker, then how do you explain the fact that the Joker made his debut years ago as Jack Nicholson? It’s just one of the things that makes no sense, but hey-ho, since when did Batman and logic morph?

Do IMAX theaters show the same trailers as regular theaters? I want to know if I'm gonna miss the Man Of Steel teaser by seeing this in IMAX.
