I'm usually a bit Roeper fan, but he seems to adore this series so much that I doubt he'd ever give it a bad review. Might not be unbiased.
Still a good sign though
Is it safe?

I have a feeling BB will remain my favorite after watching TDKR.
Exactly what I meant. None exists.

Just a few hours to go.

Now I'm upset I didn't get midnight instead. I don't want to wait until tomorrow =( ugh.
No.
But I am one of those guys who liked TDK more than BB. It seems many people in this thread likes BB more than TDK.

You should have been around The Raid discussions when that review came out. That was fun times.

13 more slow hours 
Damn I was out all night yesterday, missed so much of this thread.

Wait, what?! Roger...why?!
The first hour is the best edited/paced hour of the trilogy thusfar.
First half amazing, second half had odd pacing.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Just watched it.
Yeah, I dunno but I kinda liked it a bit more than TDK for some reason, but that's definitely just me. I know a few who prefer TDK over TDKR.

Followed by a second hour that is the clumsiest.
Still a great movie, but TDK is the better film.

Not the first half...
I like TDK more than BB too and so do a lot of people. Its just on GAF, there is a lot of hate for TDK that makes BB come out as a better movie between the two.
Aye, if you say so.
I'm glad to have missed that meltdown.

Midnighters should report if they see the Man of Steel trailer. I bet WB waits til Monday to release it.
OK, phew. Glad to hear you can view properly. Yeah, IE had been a bitch to sync up correctly, working on it!

Paced better than TDK. Even the 2nd half of BB had good pacing.
WB better not pull this shit. Close to or over 1/3 of the audience will see it over the weekend, they better not waste that window.
Wait, what? Why would they do that?

People like that it has more focus on character stuff, you don't see Batman in costume until halfway through the movie and most of it revolves around his psychological aspects/motivations. It completely revolves around why Batman does what he does, how he trained and became who he was etc. It's just a really rewarding experience if you're a fan of him. Dark Knight is a lot of fun but there's nothing like that in it.

Didn't someone say it didn't come with their showing? I'll be pissed if I don't see a trailer for my midnight showing.
I used to think that. Watched it again last night. While it mostly holds up ( the first half) the pacing is too quick sometimes. Characters spit out lines so quickly, there's literally no seeming belief behind them. Just, "spit it out", "cut". Move on to the next thing.
And is it just me, or was Gordon's superior, black guy who becomes commissioner kind of a dick to him in every scene? Looks like an asshole.

Because he's a moralistic asshole and always has been, look at his reviews of slasher movies, he's like Tipper Gore.

They did it with the TDKR trailers (at least the first one, IIRC). This is their next big film, won't be a surprise if they do.
Now that's more like it!
Richard Roeper enjoyed TDKR.
Have it an A. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Near the back in the middle I guess
Really? Surely they know what a big audience they'll have opening weekend and not do something as spectacularly stupid as that. With TDKR, they still had the good will of TDK to ride off of, but with Man of Steel people will probably think it's in the same continuity as the Superman Returns film, which is a mindset WB can't afford to have exist.
I always knew he was sensitive to violence, especially against women (I am myself to a degree), but I thought those kind of criticisms were reserved for the like of I Spit on Your Grave or Human Centipede.
Jesus, I can't believe I live in a world where Roger Ebert thinks Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a better movie than The Raid.

are we back to believing the movie is good or a bomb? Its a roller coaster of a ride to Friday.
Boy I thought no one would ever ask this question. *snicker*
It's nearly 20% better than The Prestige.
Trust me, these review aggregator websites are very scientific.
I'm awaiting Solo's lukewarm review, at which point the movie will once again be considered a failure and disappointment.

I know everything about a reviewer by how they rate Black Snake Moan.
His spelling is an approximation of how easy Bane's voice is to understand.

Solo's plan is to trash TDKR so he can hype Skyfall to hell

Solo will give it an 8.5, better than TDK but not up to BB.
