I love IMAX. Its so good it makes it that much harder to get used to when they switch back to 35mm.
A few thoughts on the movie.
Overall I left feeling very satisfied. Anne Hatheway was the best part of the movie. She kept the film together for the first 1hr. I really wasn't feeling the beginning, her opening robbery was fantastic.
In terms of Nolans films, this defintely feels the most sloppy . This guy knows how to make movies, watch any of his past films and they have a crispness to them, very precise in every music cue, camera angle, piece of dialogue and edit. For the most part, this did not feel like that. Of course it had its moments, large action set pieces and emotional scenes between alfred/bruce and some others. However, it felt like they shot over by an hour, went back, realized all the shit they had to adjust, then tried their best.
Tom Hardy did a great job. I thought Bane taking over the city with a bomb and that whole storyline was extremely ambitious, it just never got off its feet. Gotham did not seem all that bad, that's because they didn't show any of the city, they showed maybe 1 or 2 buildings with some main characters in it, otherwise, everyone was sitting on their couches watching GNN and eating kraft dinner.
Things I liked:
Lazurus Pit/Prison comparisons.
Back story to Talia, I knew she was in the movie, but this caught me off guard.
Everything Anne Hatheway
The Scarecrow running the sentencing
John Blake, for most of the movie he was a great character, although his name should have been Richard Grayson and not "Robin" wow did not like that
Thigns I didn't like:
FUCKING MATTHEW MODINE. That guy seriously sucked. No point in casting him. His scenes were stiff, forced, he got trampled on by everyone in that movie. I was seriously bummed at how bad he was.
Spoon feeding the audience. Ok. Its a big blockbuster movie. But seriously, no need to show that many flashbacks like the audience has the memory capacity of a cocker spaniel.
Quirky cop one liners "You're in for a show tonight son" shut up you fat fuck. This is not Spiderman. No need for cheap laughs and regular one liners.
I gotta watch it again. Im just hoping I like it more the second time and don't nitpick pointless stuff.
