Since I'm apparently the first, I'll get it started:


EPIC




I just got back from a special screening of it and it definitely surpassed my expectations. I remember seeing Batman Begins and thinking "this is a really good superhero movie". Then I saw The Dark Knight and thought "this is a great crime drama with superheros". Well I just got back and this is a spectacular war movie.

I kept seeing trailers and tv spots and something just seemed off about it. Despite the marketing departments best attempts, Christopher Nolan has crafted a terrific, emotionally satisfying end to this trilogy. He manages to incorporate the other two movies in ways that make it seem like this was his plan from the beginning. I highly suggest watching the first two before seeing this, mainly to fully appreciate the journey when the credits finally roll.

I'm sure that with time, just like with The Dark Knight, people will love to point out plot holes and inconsistencies. But for the time being, I'm happy to sit back and enjoy the fact that this trilogy ends on such a high note.

I have a friend that also saw it and he recommends not seeing TDK. He watched it before seeing DKR and couldn't get over how weak Bane is compared to the joker He did say the movie was very good thou.

Well stated sir. I just saw it. My face is melted off from how good it was. Very satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. Hardy was fantastic.

Just got back from a special screening myself. I will say this is a satisfying ending to the trilogy. Only one thing bothered me the whole movie and that's how stupid Bane's voice was.
