The Hunger Games, Avatar, The Dark Night are my favourite films of all time.
This film just completely fell flat!
The Hunger Games :eek:
Again you've just confirmed why you would award this 2/10. Which is terribly harsh. Im interested to see what other films you'd rate that low so we can compare.
I loved they way we almost always heard Bane before we saw him, so just for a second you didn't know where he was, building up the feeling of dread, knowing he's there but not being able to see him. Quite a few times I expected him to be right behind a character and to do something sudden and violent, but it never played out that way. Which is not surprising really as would have been a very filmmaking by numbers trick, not Nolans style!
10/10 for me, I just wish there was going to be a 4th!! But I guess as a filmmaker thats exactly how you want to end a trilogy.
There was originally a 4 and a half hour "rough cut" screened especially for Warner Bros officials! Personally, I'd love to see the 1 hour and 45 mins that didn't make the final theatrical cut
I saw it last night at the Cineworld in Glasgow in D-Box seats and I loved it. I think I enjoyed it even more than TDK which was very bleak for it's entire duration with no 'feel good factor' at all. Don't get me wrong I love TDK but I just felt personally the pay off from TDKR was more satisfying.
I had no issues with the sound at all but then I go to the cinema for LOUD explosions etc. I maybe missed one or two words of Banes dialogue but nothing important. The only bit I did struggle with was the scene where Blake and Gordon have a conversation in an apartment and the background music was way too loud. I only managed to figure out what Gordon actually said after Blake referenced it near the end.
The D-box seats were a pretty good accompaniment to the various chase sequences and it was exciting 'feeling' Banes punches, I'd certainly use them again if only for certain movies.

There wasn't the guy who posted this said he was joking. The final shooting script is available to buy online the people who have read it have said that only minimal things were cut (lines of dialogue/single shots) no big scenes.
It's Rubbish. Overrated pretentios tosh. I could barely hear the dialogue such was the fancy theatrics!
Why can't there be a facepalm smilie on DS?
Overrated - A word that means I am right and the rest of the world is wrong.
How can the film be overrated? It recieved the most mixed reviews of the trilogy both in the fan base and proffesional critics. The film is also currently underperforming at the box office.
Another case of a poster using a word without knowing its meaning.
Hmm... yeah, maybe it was one of those filler/deleted scenes and scenery shots etc. It was something I read a few months ago (maybe even posted here, but I'd rather google it up than trudge through every page searching for it lol):
“… ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is real and finished, presumably in the form of a four-hour rough cut. There’s no official word on the reaction to the [early studio] screening, as of yet.”

How is it pretentious exactly?
Mr Teacake seems to revel in being the voice of opposition on most subjects.
"Everyone seems to love *enter name of popular film here* so i'll be really cool and different and say it's pretentious, ohh i'll mention the sound too because that's been talked about in the press - that'll prove i've seen it.
Mr Teacake - can you actually give examples of what is pretentious about this film? Name a scene and tells us specifically how it is pretentious - go on, i dare you.
I was disappointed but only becuase I think I expected too much. I wouldn't rate it as bad, for me it falls into the "won't go see it again at the cinema but will buy the dvd when the price goes down" category. A film has to be pretty exceptional for me to buy it full price when it's released

I still think the vast majority really liked it and the most important thing is that I liked it and for me still the best film of the year. Avengers was child's play compared to this.
I saw TDKR in a digital IMAX cinema. Having done a bit of reading up, these screens have an aspect ratio of 1.9:1. Can someone who's seen it in a true IMAX cinema, with a ratio of 1.4, confirm that the IMAX sequences fill the whole screen? Or are there effectively 'black bars' at the top and bottom of the image? If it's the former I'm going to see it again!
I think the answer is that it does fill the screen but I just want to be sure. Ta.
I saw it in Glasgow IMAX and parts of the films did fill the whole screen, with the non IMAX scenes having the black bars at the top and bottom. It was all very seemless, I didnt notice the flicker between the two.
And as for reviews, fan reception it has been very very positive overall.....but where the more mixed reviews come in (personally i dont understand why and never will) is where either expectation was too high for it (for me it surpassed expectation so perhaps another reason why i dont understand these reviews) and/or they wanna fuss about length of film etc etc.
But tbh TDKR has had overall more positive reviews than Batman Begins and fan reception is on a par looking around! But tbh the whole series altogether is another level all together so it is a showcase and a testiment for its power :cool:

That has nothing to do with this.

In your opinion.

When anyone barely moves to get up or move about the cinema is nearly always the sign that the movie is compelling and interesting!
Did you like begins and dark knight?
I loved it. I loved begins,dark knight and rises im very pleased with how the trilogy has turned out
I can start whatever threads I want thank-you very much

And it's now known that the '4 hour rough cut' running time was a hoax.
