POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD
A very good film indeed
As good as TDK ? nope, not IMO, but then it was never going to be i dont think due to the lack of Joker-ness
The surprise for me was Anne Hathaway. I thought she was brilliant. Nailed the sexy/badass element of the character. Also liked the fact she wasnt actually called Catwoman.
Think that Tom Hardy was a little wasted on Bane TBH. He's a great actor, so i felt it was a shame you couldnt see most of his face. If they had gone down the steroid/Venom road as opposed to pain control, they could have changed or binned the mask, but it prob wouldnt have got a 12A rating then.
Also felt there could have been more Batman. There is a lot of Bruce Wayne in the film, but not as much Batman as i would have liked.
Think Nolan did an excellent job of weaving together key elements from the Batman universe, some of which totally unconnected, into a believable story
In all, an excellent film0 -

I can see what you mean but I think that epic long intro until he finally dons the mask again just builds up the tension and emphasises just how cool Batman is when he gets going.
The scene near the end with him and Bane slugging it out on the street was brilliant.
Favourite line: "Death!... by exile."0 -
True, the section where he finally appears is brilliant
Chris Nolan is probably the greatest director of his generation. I cant wait to see what he does next.
This isn't a weak film by any stretch. If TDK wasn't as amazing as it was, then this would have been the best Batman film without doubt.0 -

I liked TDK, the Joker was a really good villain and worked really well... but IMO this story was much more exciting, really built it up and then delivered with the action too. Remember sitting there for the first half hour a bit bemused at the lack of action though My favourite of the 3. Just.0 -
Yeah went to see it as well fantastic film .... only problem nobody will ever be able to better them if they make a remake ............sorry George Lucas but your films after the Return of the Jedi were pish crap and ham actors and you wasted a great trilogy.... hope it never happens with this....so hands off Lucas or anyone else0

A tad harsh. Phantom Menace is sh*te, but the others are quite good IMO. They arent as good as Empire Strikes Back, but then neither are the other two.
Agreed. Who has the balls to reboot the Batman franchise ??? Nolan got it so on the money that i fail to see how anyone can better him.0 -

As an 'action' movie its great; as representation of Frank Millar's original 'Dark Knight' graphic novel(s) then its just not the thing. Of course I appreciate that 'movies' and 'comics' are different genres and I can't deny that Nolan has created a serious body of work with the trilogy, but when I heard years back that he was putting the Dark Knight on screen, I did have hopes that it would be a representation of Millar's concept. Those story lines would have made a fantastic action adventure and had all the relevant characters; Harvey Dent, Joker, even Superman. If you ever get the chance do read the comics. As an example, the 'Watchmen' movie (Zak Snyder) DID stay reasonably closer to the graphic novel plot and design and was, IMVHO, a superior movie because of that.Raymondo
