Thanks for posting!

i'm gonna go ahead and say it.. i'm on the bane train... now i'm positive hes gonna be one bad mofo... hot toys where you at?

^nothing we havent seen before. dont think it merits a spoiler tag

I'm officially on the Bane Train as well! What a freaking badass!

It got me pumped for the film but I wasn't impressed with it. I was excited when I saw the new logo, but the way this opening is shot is a cluster ____, it didn't give you any time to breathe.

It's probably the fastest 6 mins I've ever experienced. You get a quick cut of

Spoiler

Gordon's speech

and then everything goes crazy.


From what I heard of Bane, he again, sounds really cool. It's just so hard to understand what characters are saying and the way the scenes are shot is nuts. It's a mess.



- Negatives

- Why does it open with Gordon talking? It seems so out of place.
- Everyone is hard to understand.
- The action sequences are as fast as lightning. BOOM, BAM, BOOM and it's done.
- It's incoherent as ____. (This might be due to the Omnimax IMAX dome theater though). It doesn't flow well at all when you're eyes are looking all over the place. It's just too overwhelming, like a kid with ADHD in your face playing with planes and action figures, or like a Bay film. There's no structure to it like the Bank Heist. General Audiences (i.e. people that don't obsess over this stuff and knowing every little detail) aren't going to understand what the hell they just watched.


Overall, not that impressed. I preferred the TDK Prologue Bank Heist by far. That had an actual narrative and flowed smoothly, with understandable character dialogue.

I think a lot of the problems you had were indeed due to seeing it in omnimax. That's a different shape than Imax.

I saw TDK in omnimax a few months ago and I could barely figure out what was going on despite seeing it many times before. Omnimax is best suited to nature flicks and roller-coaster gimmicks.

I hope you have a real Imax theater to go to when you see the actual film.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

He sounds like a ____ing badass that's all that matters. The prolouge does a great job of revealing a lot about the character just in the responses Bane gives and Hardy's timing appears spot on with his delivery in this first 6 minutes. There's not a chance in hell you won't love this when you see it.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I now wantz me a Bane coat, the one with the cute white furry collar

In one one fell swoop in just mere minutes, Bane's bad ass character traits immediately eliminated any existing doubts due to his height issues.

His walk is even bad ass.

I'm now scared of Bane, as it should be

Namz, are you scared of Bane yet, do you all of a sudden desire a Bane coat

The negatives were definitely due to the Omnimax for the most part.

Yeah, I know the differences. I saw TDK in a regular IMAX theater in 2007 (Prologue), summer of 2008 (regular film) and winter of 2008 (rerelease) and the experience was just fine. I prefer the regular, rectangular shape format to that damn globe, it feels like you're in a golf ball.

It's so overwhelming and you feel disoriented trying to follow what's going on on screen.

The IMAX theater I went to for TDK has converted to digital and no longer support 70mm film (like most IMAX theaters) so I'll probably see TDKR in the standard format. Though, when asked my IMAX theater did say that the screen size and audience capacity is the same and they stated that the digital conversion was better. They're not the "LIEmax" theaters with the smaller screens so, I don't know. Might be worth checking out after I see the film in it's standard format. If the digital conversion is close or exact to the 70mm experience, great as long as I don't have to deal with the dome omnimax.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Did the prologue for TDK ever get uploaded online officially or was it only bootlegged?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I could not understand Bane in that bootleg. Or many people for that matter. Didn't find any real transcripts of the scene though so I went in cold. It was pretty amazing. Can't wait to see the real deal in 7 months!

Only bootlegged. It was never online officially.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

At least he didn't wait in line dressed up as prince for batman 89' like all you Burton praisers out there did.

There were no asshappy cosplayers back then like there are now. That would happen, later, with The Crow. I was, however, guilty of pelting the idiots who stood up and applauded the Batmobile with Gobstobbers.

Namz, are you scared of Bane yet, do you all of a sudden desire a Bane coat

What about Nolan's Bane is scary?:
