I'm seeing it. Even chose it over ASM.

It's a mixed bag.


Why don't you just see it for yourself? I've never understood the idea of following positive or negative reviews for films to dictate whether one should spend money or "waste" time at a theater.

You might go and love it. You might go and think it's "meh". You might think it's terrible. I've seen movies that aren't necessarily the best rated in terms of critical performance that I have enjoyed. I've also seen movies that have glowingly positive reviews and an overall positive consensus that I don't particularly enjoy.


Find out for yourself if you don't like it or not. I'm of the mind that there are only very few movies out there that are a waste of time. Even if a movie sucks I've always found the experience of sitting there in a theater viewing a film being a cathartic and enjoyable one. Like going to a pool or other hobby activities.

love how people here are making fun of anne hathaway.
wait till you see the movie and you will be blown away.
oscar performance and she looks amazing hot.

As I said I'm not a big Anne Fan, but I'm looking forward to her as Catwoman. She may convert me!

And you couldn't infer anything from that GC cover posted a few pages ago?

Yes I posted the magazine cover...I didn't think a spoiler tag was warranted. I thought it was a mere clever play on words.

Sorry.

Nolan hates robin. merely a play on words.

Would be the funniest thing in the world if this movie doesn't live up to your standards and you end up hating it. You hype the ____ outta this movie.

Why? Then he'll just troll it in delusional denial like you do Webb's ASM over Raimis claiming the films are entirely dissimilar.

 

[ironwez20]

Ugh Jesus . No I never did that I just said asm was better .

 

[thenammagazine]

Ugh Jesus . No I never did that I just said asm was better .

Proving my point.

He does that with everything. Honestly I wish I got half as excited as he does about pretty much everything.

 

[cerealkeller]

Seeing this tonight. Gotta admit Ebert's review calmed my expectations which will probably be a good thing in the end. I am no longer expecting "God In a Box" but am also expecting to at least like it. Still excited to see it though! I am most looking forward to how Nolan wraps up this trilogy. The perfect ending for Batman for me is still the end of the Dark Knight Returns. I hope it matches that.

 

[Fernandofan08]

Proving my point.

ASM was better than the raimi films. Its clear as day.

 

[CelticPredator]

If day was boring and useless.

 

[Matt S]

I look forward to the Freaks' Reviews!!!!

 

[BadMoon]

I look forward to the Freaks' Reviews!!!!

I'm excited to see but concerned after reading Eberts review that said

Spoiler

that there is very little Batman in the movie

. I'm sure I will love it. Just something I have to prepare for.

 

[Matt S]

That aspect of the Ebert review caught me a little off guard too

 

[Fernandofan08]

Day was boring and useless in prometheus. the again night was boring in prometheus too

Spoiler

Fourse there wont be alot of batman. He is beaten and this is the story of bruce rising to come back and become the legend. Think about it, he gets beat by bane. then he comes back to beat him. few things inbetween.

In TDK we only had batman for a minuet or two in many scenes; scarecrow, rooftop conversation. Then you had hong kong, fundraiser which was 3 minuets, transporting of Harvey, murder of Rachel and aftrrwards. then it cooled down until the end 25 minuets. id say batman himself was in the film for under an hour out of 2hrs 30.

BB we only had the docks/phagen leverage, set on fire by scarecrow, arkham then the narrows. Its not about how long its about the quality!!!!!

At least Prometheus tried to be different. At least it did more then add a tiny, uesless detail that never once affected the overall film, sans for comic nerds.

Forgot trying to do everything Alien did just with more CGI is being different
