Tell me youre ing joking.
I, too, will watch and expect to enjoy the film. But I shake my head in disbelief at "Nolanites".

Sadly it is true. The Dark Knight became the #1 rated film on IMDB with 50,000 votes BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED. This upset fans of The Godfather in particular, and a war ensued, with everyone voting their own film a 10 and the other a 1, basically.

It has since fallen to #8, behind The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Pulp Fiction, The Good the bad and the Ugly, 12 Angry Men and Schindler's List.
I said Don Draper is closer to the character of "Batman" than whatever Nolan/Bale are trying to do.Sun fan.
Thinks professing his love of Mad Men will show how cultured he is.
"I really love this show that everybody on earth likes! How awesome am I!"
I do like Mad Men, but that doesnt make me awesome. Im AWESOME because I exposed what a coward you are when I uncovered that you altered a quote from "07 seconds or less" to try and hide the fact that you ed up.
In an EPIC twist of irony, it was your own sig that exposed your lie.
Maybe I should have been a journalist. It was so much FUN exposing you.

I just googled "EPIC OWNAGE" and it was the first hit that came up.
2 hours. I suspect its not going to be as good as TDK but I suspect it will still be a damn good movie.
i saw this last night... spoilers, kind of but not really...
wont go into detail but its worth the admission. of course no matter what expectations are going to be too high...but its a good film nonetheless. tbh though you can tell nolan is ready to finish batman and move onto other things. i dont blame him.
the film does tie up nicely with batman begins, which i liked better than tdk.
some scenes make absolutely no sense.
it's worth it to watch the first two batmans right before you see it because it continues directly after the last scene in the second.
all in all, i still think begins is the best.

have not seen the new one, but i've always felt that batman begins was better than dark knight, though I really thought that both were great. as anxious as anybody else to watch the last piece.
*NO SPOILERS*
Definitely the best storyline of the 3 movies.
Much better than I was expecting, and if you told me it was better than the Dark Knight (which I thought tried to shove way too much in 2 1/2 hours, and was a little hokey in parts) I wouldn't argue with you.
But man, Bane was just unreal. The most terrifying villain in any Batman film ever. He is just brutal. He may not be as lovable as the Joker, but I loved seeing Bane on screen, and his dialogue is so much easier to understand than the prologue.
Hathaway was also great.
One of the best things for TDKR for me was we finally had a Batman film where you really cared about what happens to Batman. Too many of the prior Batman films had him constantly overshadowed by the villains he faced. In TDK, as great as it was, I never got an emotional connection with Batman. Even when Rachel died, he was bummed, but I was hoping for a little more (I'm sure I'm in the minority on this).
But in TDKR, you really feel for Batman/Bruce and you finally see a super hero film where you can think "Oh my god, he is ed, the city is ed, and this can't end well." Bale definitely gave the best Batman performance to date, and it's not even close with this film.
You can argue TDK has the higher highs (mostly involving the Joker), but TDKR flies by with superb pacing, and honestly, from start to finish I think it was the more consistent film in terms of its plot/storyline.
I'll be anxious to see what everyone else thinks, especially of Bane, but god damn, so much better than I was expecting.
And if you can see it in IMAX, do so, this film is definitely the "biggest' Batman film in terms of scope and ambition.
I agree!
I will be honest, my expectations were not so high for this film. I went because I hoped that it would prove me wrong, and it did. I was very disappointed in TDK. TDK, in my opinion was carried only by The Joker's character, I hated most of the other story, Harvey Dent in the end I thought was just horrible and dragged on to nowhere too much. I hated the rest of that film. It felt like other than the Joker, that it tried too hard.
I only loved the Joker.
This one though, TDKR, to my surprise (having the bad taste in my mouth from TDK), didn't need ONE character to carry the film. The story itself, all along kept me interested, I felt in part like it had touches and the feeling of Batman Begins to some degree. I just loved it. I really did. And Bane was hardcore! Bale actually did some acting in this one too.
I'm happy and got my money's worth. Maybe having lower expectations has something to do with it, but I'm satisfied.
I would like to forget about Part 2 really, and just wish it were only Batman Begins and then TDKR lol, but oh well. Some may think I'm too harsh on TDK, but I honestly don't care for it too much.
This movie was awesome.
Well, just finding out about that horrible shooting in Colorado really just ing bummed me the f out. Damn that's messed up what happened.
