I'd hardly call that a golden era either.

Nolan fans seem to get violent over people not loving his movies. I hope Chris doesn't attack someone he overhears giving the movie a less than 4 star review.

not too psyched. got a bad feeling about this one.

Right now RT has DKR at 86% compared to Batman Begins at 85% and DK at 94%

Metacritic has DKR at 80 compared to BB at 70 and DK at 82.

So it looks like it might not be as good as DK but better than the first one. Which is absolutely fine.

They should have went with a better villain.

Newspaper here gave it 5 stars which is a shock. The reviewer only gives that rating to pretentious artsy bullshit. Don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

Regardless, waiting to go to see it in a few minutes. Hope it's worth the 170min running time.

When you get back, please post the gritty details sans spoiler warnings so we get a 'Hey asshole' letter from the director!

It's Australia, their hurdlers have the longest legs and they get all the movies before the rest of us.

No one knows why that is.

I never understood that. Most movies are made in the US but other countries get to see them before us?

They fly in secret planes full of hurdlers to wiggle & shimmy for the Hollywood execs.

I imagine.

Vividly.

Friend of mine just got out of and advance screening and said I quote "Without hesitation DKR was hands down the worst of the trilogy." I really respect this guys opinion on movies and as a Batman fan this makes me sad. I wasn't looking forward to the movie though, pretty much expecting it to be something I was not going to like.
