Having any and all musical surprises/great cues ruined for you beforehand is never the way to go. Instead of seeing a scene and hearing the music for the first time together and having that color your opinion, you'll instead be waiting for your favorite cues to appear and be disappointed if they don't.
Movies should be a virgin audiovisual experience.
As an example: if you'd listened to TDK's score before seeing the movie and loved "Like A Dog Chasing Cars", then you'd be pretty pissed when you finally saw the movie and how badly that song got hacked up.

I listened to Tron Legacy's OST before the movie, and loved it more when it played up in the movie at the right spots.
That doesn't count, as TRON sucked donkey nuts and was barely a movie. Daft Punk's score WAS the feature.
Hmm...

Says who? You?
If people want to listen to the score before the film, and they enjoy themselves, who the hell are you to tell them otherwise? I've never done it before, but like I said, I know it'll still blow me away because each song played will have greater context.
Believe it or not, not everyone thinks the same way you do.
Lol, that,
Mind If I Cut In? and The Fire Rises are my favourite. Mind If I Cut In reminds me of Sherlock Holmes. 
Yes, says me and anyone with common sense. The less you know about a movie before seeing it, the better.
Also, calm down.

Reliable Sunhi..thanks!
Says common sense. The score is obviously one of the highlights of the movie when it's composed by Hans Zimmer. It's an epic ending to an epic trilogy. You shouldn't listen it beforehand if you don't want to ruin part of the experience.

Lol calm down, classic response.
Once again, if people want to listen to the score before the film, then so be it. They'll still it enjoy it either way, no matter what you think lol. Next time a great film comes out and I feel like perhaps listening to the score beforehand, I'll check in with you.
I keep hearing "should" and "shouldn't", but like I said earlier, you aren't the masters of how people here want to experience a film. The music will be everlasting, it'll still be fantastic when they see it in the cinema, I don't get how it's going to "ruin" part of the experience lol.
Even if it stinks?

Dont worry, I got it all figured out. I finish work at 4 on saturday, go home, pass the fuck out on sleeping pills or some shit, wake up, drink some energy drink if I'm not adequetly hypedand see the film, then sleep in the work office for a while. Thinking about it, it could actually be really cool. There's virtually zero chance of getting douchebags in the cinema at that time.
There will be, and they will instantly be dismissed here.

So are we to assume all the reviews so far were from that 50+ press screening with the standing ovation?
Did they have auto-fellatio devices installed on all seats?

I thought I heard about one Chinese review that came off as extremely negative but is also impossible to understand due to the terrible translation.

Agree. If I had heard Gotham's Reckoning before watching the prologue, the intensity and thrill would've been taken away.

Armond White will review this film so you will have at least one negative review.

I don't---
Unless it starts to become overwhelmingly positive or negative, which might shape my opinion depending on how much I want to see it. I had zero interest in Battleship at all, but if reviews leaned positive, especially very positive, I would have given it a second chance and saw it. But if there's something I want to see, say John Carter, and reviews are inheritantly negative, I'm still going to see it and judge it for myself.
To be honest, I expected the reviews to shift negative on this because of how huge the last entry was. People these days refuse to believe they can be wowed twice. And in a few weeks I'm sure the BB vs. DK vs. TDK skewing user/amateur blogger reviews will be interesting to watch.
There was a reviewer for USA Today that I used to read almost ten years ago and I can't remember his name, but he basically destroyed every major sci-fi/fantasy/adventure film that came out. And he did it in the most smug, condescending way - "if you like this, you are worthless". Example: he said that Return of the King was so painful to watch that he crouched down in his seat, worried a peer would see him there and mock him for being there. He said that he didn't know a single teenage boy who would watch RotK, said that his son (according to him a "jock who has friends") laughed at him for going, and that he assumed the only people going were 35 year olds who lived with their mothers.
The only person I can see giving a genuinely negative review is Armond White.

How come we don't get intermissions anyway?
Wait, are we talking about the plane? Is that not in the main film?
It'll be in the film. Not sure what they're talking about, unless it's some new release of BB/TDK.
Nope. There have been a number of screenings by this point... at the very least in Los Angeles and New York.
People like the movie. The consensus will probably be overwhelmingly positive, just like The Dark Knight. How unexpected
/sarcasm
Prologue opens the film. It's not a separate entity. Is this a spoiler?
fuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Listening to it, it's epic, sounds like it's closing...
...it's only 2 minutes in of 7.....
.....HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGG
You can see the prologue next week.
