Look at his eyes in Bronson. Or as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. The "do not even try to with me" look is well within his range sans technology.
I wanted to see it in IMAX but they only had first row available.
I still want to see it with the theater that has D-BOX:

Wish I had an IMAX in this ty state known as New Mexico. Can't wait to live in civilization again.
The midnight premiere IMAX was sold out by the time I ordered tickets, so I had to settle for regular screening first time around. But I'm going to see it in IMAX thursday night. The screen size isn't as important to me as the superior sound that IMAX provides. It's loud as either way, but IMAX is more of a controlled noise and is easier to hear the talking during the loud scenes.
do they make booster seats for D-box? seems like if it tilted you forward, shorter people wouldn't be able to see over the guy in front of them.
I think yalls hard-on for Bane has obviously taken too much blood from yalls brain. As great as he was he still only had half of the performance that Ledger's Joker had, meaning just the upper half of the face as opposed to the whole face. Through no falt of Hardy's, it's not even close imo. Take away the special muffled badass voice and I don't even think we'd be having this discussion
I don't know how somebody can say that Hardy wasn't great, especially after his speech in front of Blackgate.
Nobody is talking about the Gordon-Blake chemistry
I think Oldman and JGL were fantastic
The speech was good, but my two favorite pieces of dialogue from Bane were definitely the:
Other: "But I paid you a small fortune..."
Bane: " And you feel this gives you power over me"
and
Bane: "Using darkness as your ally? You merely adopted it. I was born in it...molded by it. I didnt see the light until I was already a man. By then it was nothing to me but blinding!! The shadows betray you because they belong to me!
My favorite Bane line was......"What a lovely, lovely voice."
Great delivery...so out of character yet 100% genuine.
Who's saying that? Definitely not me
When did he say that.
When the little boy was singing the anthem.
Just as he was getting ready to blow up the tunnels, hijack the city, and kill Dr. Pavel in front of a horrified crowd.
Watched TDKR for the second time on another IMAX. Past couple of days also watched the rest of the trilogy and even Tim Burton's original. Bunch of random words will follow:
Surprisingly, Batman Begins holds up pretty well but watching it on a home theater projector screen probably helps (10 feet, helps with seeing how Gotham transformed)
. Burton's Batman has an entirely different pacing and feel, and while the action scenes are dated, is still an immersive comic book experience
Anyway I still am left thinking that TDKR is probably the worst of the bunch although they're all great, with TDK sitting at the top.
TDKR had too many lazy moments in its storytelling and unintentionally funny scenes that distracted it from climbing the list, like Pvt Joker's death. And while Nolan loves to have those last second reveals and Inception-ish flashbacks, I think he overdid it, and characters like Bane and especially Talia suffered from it. Even when they were showing what was going on, it felt more like telling us with those flashbacks. Also not a fan of Bane god damn crying at the end, only to pummel after hearing Talia
Overall as a trilogy story arc....it sucks that the Rachel actress changed and obviously sucks that the Joker died too. And it would have been nice if there was more Robin or Catwoman earlier in the trilogy, since developing those key characters felt a little shallow when you cram it in the third movie. Having to introduce new characters like Robin, Catwoman, Pvt Joker, and Talia, also meant less time to develop characters we've come to known like Gordon, Alfred, Fox, Scarecrow, even Bruce Wayne and Batman.
Also felt like there were too many monologues at least in the beginning
It also would have been very awesome to see Joker work alongside Bane and Talia. After all they would be the kind of criminals that Joker would appreciate.... RIP
Don't get me wrong, TDKR is still a great movie well worthy of three out of four stars
Only part I didn't like was the acting from all non-Bane people during the airplane scene. Thought the agent was terrible and didn't like the delivery of the "with no survivors line". Minor, minor gripe and the scene was cool, but the acting I thought was poor there from non-Bane actors.
Carcetti was tripping.
Carcetti is a pretty good actor. He just should never again be hired to do an American accent.
Also not a fan of Talia's twitching death at the end, or how the movie pulled off the "Et tu Brutus" moment. It was another unintentionally funny scene: specifically the close up on Batman's reaction to getting stabbed in the side/back
Having Bane cry and reveal his heart of black gold also was "meh". And Han Solo, aka Catwoman saving the day (seemingly all about money, wants the hero to leave, reluctantly heroic, comes in at the last second to save the day, settles down becomes a family person) just felt a little lazy
Still great movie but one that has me nitpicking a lot

Batman's reaction wasn't funny to me. Talia's death was.
Yeah, the twitching death was lame. But I liked the fact that Catwoman saves the day. She is my favorite Batman character. And IMO it went with her character. She regretted the way she treated Batman when she found out he was Bruce.
Regarding the national anthem, I also loved that Bane line but as far as the kid's voice the awkwardness made it feel like a lifetime. His voice was SUPER over the top, especially considering there was no other sound but his voice. I even heard a few gigglers in the crowd as I expected when the singing first started
Could someone remind me of how Talia dies exactly? I'm having a brain fart
She dies from the impact of the cargo truck falling front first on the lower level of the highway.
I'm surprised she didn't die instantaneously. That was a rough crash.
He's a decent actor. But yes, his American accent is an insult to us citizens
