I seriously enjoyed that and in 70mm IMAX it looked fucking amazing.
I might go see it again.

I'll probably be going to watch it again myself. the first time round it was just my grandad and I. He's been a massive Batman fan longer than i've been alive so i've taken him to see each of the new Batman films when they've come out. Most of my mates haven't seen the films yet so i'll go with them to see it again.
What was everyones thoughts on Catwoman in this film? I thought Hathaway did a good job and without giving anything away she had some good scenes throughout the film.

Fair enough. I have a friend who hates action movies because they are predictable, and yet he goes to every damn one at opening day then proceeds to complain angrily about the movie afterwards. I haven't gotten him to give me a good reason on why he keeps doing that to himself. My assumption is he is a masochist.
I'm fairly unimpressed by it.
It wasn't terrible by any stretch, but it wasn't too good.
The main problem was there was some many unintentionally funny parts where friend and I started laughing at.
The plan was generic badguy stupid, but at least it wasn't an attempt to spread gas over a city.
Bane was just dumb muscle, but Tom Hardy is pretty awesome. The voice was pretty neat and he did look like a beef-master.
At least I'm assuming they weren't supposed to be things I laughed at.
Also, at the very start they missed a golden opportunity to say "He's the god damn Batman", but I guess that wouldn't fly in a PG movie.
Also can anyone think of more than 4 women who were in the movie?
there was the wayne corp chick, catwoman, and catwoman's bottom bitch. I don't remember a fourth bird either - unless you count wayne corp chick's younger actress from that one scene.
My thoughts:
I thought the characters muttered more than usual (could have been the cinema, it was a small ish town one). Bro had a similar feeling when we left cinema, straining to understand the plot sometimes
Bain wasnt particularly understandable sometimes, a posh accent that was distorted too much I thought
Story was alright really, but I think the first 2 films were far far better

Think kawaii thoughts and sugoi things will happen to you!
I absolutely love coming home from an awesome movie, which has done the impossible and created a satisfying end to an epic series to find people nitpicking "I couldn't understand Banes voice" or "a decaying fusion reactor wouldn't explode" but, then again, I also loved TDK back when it came out and the neckbeards were complaining about how it's "not a batman movie".
I find Nolan's approach to the Batman universe, the way in which he focuses on Gotham the city and Gotham the people, to be refreshing and representative of the concept of "Batman". For me, the reason why Batman has always been my favorite comic book character is because of Gotham, the culture and the people that make it (and to some extent the villains that make it. No comic book has a rogues gallery that can compete with Batman's). Batman is just the frame that makes it all possible and it feels like Nolan really caught that. Taking the psychological trauma that affects Bruce Wayne and presenting it in a way that isn't campy is also a bonus.
All in all I wouldn't call the film a masterpiece but I would give it a 9/10. It was a different beast from BB and TDK which had a set of goals it had to reach, I feel it accomplished these and went beyond. Tom Hardy was awesome (and completely audible, at least in Imax) and Hathaway played her character to a T. Thewas not unexpected but well conducted. My only complaint is that Gotham from the air was New York. I'm not into the Tim Burton-esque Gotham as a perpetually dark freakshow but the city isn't Metropolis, it would have been nice if there was a slightly gothic tint to the architecture and I'm pretty sure Arkham Island was nowhere to be found.Spoiler:
