So, holy s***, that movie. For all my hesitation heading in, goddamn did it deliver.
As for trailers, only ones we got were Oz: The Great & Powerful, that Will Ferrell thing, and Man of Steel.

Damn, I must say that's the most packed I've been in a theater in...well, ever. Plus, first time that I saw a film getting applause when the credits hit.
Sadly, I must say that I wasn't one of them. The short end of the stick is that while it's a good movie, and a fine conclusion to the BatNolan trilogy, I really don't feel the need to see it again. It's a great "one and done" movie for me. TDK I can watch over, The Avengers I can't wait to watch that again on Blu-Ray, but I'm fine without seeing this again.
That said, Anne Hathaway surprised me as a pretty decent Selina Kyle, and the final 40-45 minutes are damn good (the fight with Bane vs. Batman outside in the snow with the rebels vs. cops in the background is pretty sick, if a bit short...although it leads to one hell of a curveball). And the ending. God damn the ending. I mean that w/ love.

Also, for Bane... {Spoiler}For some reason whenever he talked, I heard Sean Connerry. I don't know why.

Not to derail the thread, but how was the Man of Steel trailer?

Not to derail the thread, but how was the Man of Steel trailer? Not a lot to it. {Spoiler}Some scenery shots and a bit of narration, see him as a kid running around with a cape on, then there's a quick shot of him flying. That's about it.

I got Oz, Night Watch, Man of Steel, Hobbit, and two others I'm forgetting. To answer the above question, the Man of Steel trailer was pretty much nothing.

Well... {Spoiler}It was just a teaser mostly, showing Clark wandering around, a narrator (possibly John Kent) talking about his path...clips of kid Clark running around with a red sheet, and then an end shot of Superman (at a distance) flying with a sonic boom behind him.
OK, but I'll have to see more before I judge.

I can't wait to see it tomorrow. This is it, the end of the best 7 year span I've ever experienced as a Bat-fan. The tally: - 2 animated TV shows(The Batman and Batman: The Brave and the Bold) - 3 live action films(Begins, Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises) - 5 non-movie tie-in video games(Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, LEGO Batman, LEGO Batman 2, and the Batman: The Brave and the Bold game) - 6 animated movies(Batman: Gotham Knight, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Batman: Under the Red Hood, Batman: Year One, Justice League: Doom, and the upcoming two-part adaptation of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns) I honestly don't know if we'll ever get a span of quality Bat-entertainment quite like that ever again. You forgot Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. For good reason, despite the title of that film, Batman isn't really one of the main focuses of that film. It is more a Superman and Supergirl film than Superman and Batman.

You guys don't know how f***ing tempting it is for me to click on those spoiler tags, but I'm not touching them! Instead I'll just finish watching Bronson so I know what to expect from Tom Hardy. I got 40 minutes into it yesterday, and already loved what I saw so far. They definitely picked the right guy for Bane. His Charlie Bronson is big, buff, and crazy, but at the same time is coldly calculating.

Like seriously, Bane was awesome. He was EVERYTHING I love in a villain and I am very cynical about super hero bad guys.

I never thought they'd be able to top the last one. But they did, in every way. Perfect send-off.
Good grief it's a great time to be a fan of comic book movies. Avengers was stellar, and the perfect 'comic book' movie for it's style, Spidey was great and in good hands, and this one..
Just.. damn what a summer.

So I take it from your reactions it would mean that The Avengers is the more fun film, but The Dark Knight Rises is the better overall film(kind of like I was expecting)?
Doesn't really matter, in about 10 or so hours I will get to form my own opinion on the debate of The Avengers vs. The Dark Knight Rises.

Seriously, my ass is going to be broke buying the Blu-Rays of The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, and The Amazing Spider-Man in a few months.

This is probably the higher quality production, but honestly despite the superhero thing you really can't adequately compare them. Well, except for one big, spoilery thing. {Spoiler}Both have the climax end with the hero flying off with a nuke.

Really, it's difficult to judge, because they're so different tonally, but exactly.. Avengers is more fun, and perfect in its own right.. and this is just.. perfect in another way.
