So far, reviews seem to set it above Batman Begins, but below TDK. 94% on rotten tomatoes.
Your bitterness is astounding.
Have you managed to find that quote from "Seven seconds or less" where it says Amare developed a jump shot during his micro-fracture rehab?
Still waiting..years later.
Of course, that was a distant second to when you changed that Al Capone quote!
Btw - I wasnt really even debating "CubanSucks". I was debating Redzero.
Seriously, how can you be so stupid? You own yourself.

For once a melodrama with pulp origins convinces viewers that it can be the modern equivalent to Greek myths or a Jonathan Swift satire. TDKR is that big, that bitter -- a film of grand ambitions and epic achievement.
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wrote:
The sheer scope of Nolan's vision – with emotion and spectacle thundering across the screen – is staggering. The Dark Knight Rises is the King Daddy of summer movie epics.
Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote:
The best of the Nolan series. Big-time Hollywood filmmaking at its most massively accomplished, this last installment of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy makes everything in the rival Marvel universe look thoroughly silly and childish.
The Daily Telegraph wrote:
After a breathless, bravura final act, a nuclear payload of catharsis brings The Dark Knight Rises, and Nolan's trilogy, to a ferociously satisfying close.
Justin Chang of Variety wrote:
This hugely ambitious action-drama retains the moral urgency and serious-minded pulp instincts that have made the Warners franchise a beacon of integrity in an increasingly comicbook-driven Hollywood universe. Global B.O. domination awaits.
Show Stopping. Dazzling. Epic. Brilliant. A masterpiece.
Every single actor is being highly praised as well. Bane is a badass, Hathaway surpasses Mic e Pfeifer, Oldman kills it, Joseph Gordon Lovets surprisingly big role is top notch, Bale is superb as always, but its MICHAEL CAINE's old Alfred which is said to be garnering the Oscar buzz.
My only real complaint about the first two Batman movies is both movies involve crooked cops and gangsters yet you don't hear once because they wanted the PG-13 rating. I understand a superhero movie isn't gonna be perfectly "realistic" but that's the type of unrealistic I find stupid.
you're seriously complaining because they don't cuss enough? Are you 16 yrs old?
rofl good to know i turned your balloon knot into such a gaping wide hole that you still remember i did years agoYour bitterness is astounding.

I wonder if certain "individuals" are getting worried about the some of the reviews this movie is getting. There was so much hype around TDK it was bound to get a lot of positive reviews. It seems like now that "critics" have been able to take a step back and a deep breath from TDK, the reviews for this film will be more down to earth. That isn't a bad thing though. Just don't expect RT or other review sites to have a consensus 90% positive review for the film.
Looks like it may fall below Batman Begins on the tomatometer but doesn't necessarily mean it will be worse. The critic rating is currently 8.7/10 which is higher than its predecessors.
I don't expect it to be better than either of the previous two films. What little I've seen so far looks bad. Dialogue is painful. The tone is strange. Dumb villain/new character choices.
wtf is up with that one preview where they are just talking about the lack of in Bruce's knee
This movie better make me want to high five everyone around me as I walk outside the theater or I will be pissed I spent this money and will wait so long in line
Early reviews definitely seem good, but that it couldn't quite grasp the levels of TDK. Don't know whether to be disappointed or still have high expectations. Seeing it on Saturday.
Just have expectations that it will be a great film and fitting end to Nolan's Batman trilogy. It doesn't need to be better than TDK for me to enjoy the film.
RT disabled user comments for critic reviews
im going to see it tomorrow in adelaide.
will come back and post all spoilers so lefty will off himself...brb
btw batman begins was TONS better than dark knight imo
Yeah, besides the characters, action, acting, and plot, Begins was definitely a better movie.
Begins might be a better "Batman movie," but it is no way near The Dark Knight's quality overall.

the premises of the move was much better and more philosophical. it was about getting into bruce wayne's head and trying to explain why a man would go through such a ridiculous transition. it made batman real imo.
dark knight was a great follow up - it had the action, "do something cool, batman!" moments and clever scripting, but begins is a much more personal movie. plus liam neeson brought his A-game in that movie.
i've been a huge batman fan since i was a little kid, so maybe begins appeals more to the longterm fans.

20/10 tbh
Do you really go around "high fiving" people?
why the not? it's so badass to do that! i did that after leaving The Dark Knight theater! Then afterwards I made a few fart jokes and jacked it to a pic of a girl with big chest cannons! It was so cool!
Can't wait. I have tickets for Monday.
BTW where does Chris Nolan go on from here. He takes way too long to make a film. Last i heard is that he's supervising (or more like baby sitting Zack Synder's) "Man of Steel"
I don't think he has made a bad film yet.
Positive reviews from most of the top critics

Seeing it at midnight opening tomorrow. Can't wait.
I'm glad Nolan chose against 3D. If the franchise didn't start in 3D, then there is no reason to add it.
3D is almost always pointless.
