Also, I've no decided.. I'm being Bane for Halloween. I was thinking about it before, but now.. sold. Bane was the freaking man in that movie. That makes up for Batman & Robin like 200-fold.

{Spoiler}Both have the climax end with the hero flying off with a nuke. {Spoiler}Holy crap, that's right. Interesting. I hadn't even thought about that, but yup. Stakes seemed higher with this one though, given the expectations.

{Spoiler}I though the twist of Tate being Talia was kind of hokey. She did the big monologue that every new heel does which felt cliche. The trigger going an extra 11 minutes was also kind of stupid.
Another nitpick is that the shot of Wayne and Kyle at the table was not needed. The shot of Alfred (who should seriously get an Oscar nomination) smiling in acknowledgment was all that was needed.
Besides that, an amazing movie. I like how they didn't try to top Dark Knight but rather went a different route.

Hell, I actually think I love this version's costume more than the familiar lucha mask. Hardy just f***ing killed it.

Hardy just f***ing killed it. You know.....I agree. I haven't even seen the film yet, just the trailers, screenshots, posters, commercials, and realistically molded figures for this film, and Bane's mask has just grown on me, and really it is WAY better looking than the lucha mask, for one keey reason, you can see Bane's eyes. It is amazing how much of a difference that makes for me. With the lucha mask, the Arkham games aside, his eyes are always red, like the mask has red see through material over the eyes. But it is as they say, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and by seeing Bane's eyes in TDKR, you can see just how evil this man is.

Did anyone else mark for {Spoiler}Dagget being in the movie? I know he wasn't the same character, but it was a nice nod to TAS. Whether intentional or not.

Regarding the movie: {Spoiler}Why did I just watch Inception 2 instead of the sequel to Dark Knight? The camera work looked incredibly similar to me, at least four of the same actors, and ... Regarding the end: {Spoiler}That was bloody stupid. He died, or did he? Did Bruce and Selina both get a clean slate or is this Alfred's imagination. Stupid stupid stupid Inception ending. Unnecessary. I didn't like it.

I can't find a word to describe how incredible this movie is. It's very rare for me to give a movie a standing ovation. Bane was the perfect villain. I have to call Christopher Nolan a genius for not using an over the top bad guy, but the perfect antagonist. Anne Hathaway. Good Lord, the things I would do to her. The Batman movies should never be touched again. Nothing will ever top what Nolan has done to this series. Regarding the Man of Steel trailer: {Spoiler}Major problem is the use of Lord of the Rings music. Not only was it cheap, but with what many people associate it with, how is one supposed to get excited for this movie? And as we know, this movie NEEDS excitement

Unnecessary. {Spoiler}I thought that was what all the dialogue between Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox about The Bat's autopilot was building up to (him escaping from the bomb at the last minute), and that Wayne is really alive and happily living with Selina. Not like the ambiguous ending to Inception.

Just got back. This was my first ever midnight showing {Spoiler}I will say I liked the movie, but I didn't feel it was as good as The Dark Knight. I would go as far as saying it is the weakest of Nolan's Batman films.
There is just so much going on. There are a ton of new characters and many of them are double crossing each other before you really even know who they are. If you are a fan of the comics I'm sure you didn't have that problem, but my life's Batman fandom has completely come from the movies and games, so I fell behind at times.
Bane was a cool villian, but I also felt like his motives weren't so clear. At times he seemed to want a grand revolution and other times he just wanted to blow up the city. And his voice is hard to get used to. I hope I understand his role better once I can watch it on blu ray.
The movie is ambitious. A little too much imo. They try to tackle a ton of sociatal issues, but don't really have a enough time to make any have a listing impact like The Dark Knight did. There are so many grand speeches. I couldn't keep up with them all.
I liked Batman's redemption. I liked the guys in the prison. I loved Alfred. And as clunky as the build felt at times, the third act is incredible and the ending is totally satisfying.
In closing, I liked the movie. I just think at times there were too many swerves, causes, and hidden motives that I would get lost. I was on board with every single twist and ripple when I saw Inception in theatres. Here I felt a little lost. Very good movie. Satisfying conclusion and I may bump it up a grade after another viewing

{Spoiler}Robin?! his name is not ROBIN! ok Sorry but seriously the whole movie took a nose dive for me with one word. How hard is it to have her say Richard or Drake or Todd. You know a Robin's actual name?! I would've excepted Jean-Paul if it washed the bad taste of ROBIN out of my mouth. And no I had no problem with Robin as a character but for his actual name to be Robin felt forced. Loved everything leading up to that one word. Great movie but between that and Bruce Wayne retiring (ugh) killed it for me.

Movie finally started at 12:45. And for the first 5 min. there was no sound. So after a couple more minutes, they finally restart it properly but only after being asked to. They thought we'd be cool with missing 5 minutes or more of dialogue. No sorry, no passes, no free f***ing Coke, nothing. Really annoyed.
Because it started so late, no Superman trailer. Again, disappointed.
As for the movie itself, it was damn good but I still left disappointed by it. It might have been that it seemed really predictable, I saw the twists coming miles away. I might have still been bitchy or my expectations were just too high.
Gonna go see it again next week, see how I feel about it then.
