    But the downside is that you have to sit through a 20 minute ad for their sound system.

    I'll forgive them that for the buttered popcorn to be fair. The Dark Knight Rises... to stuff his face with ridiculously calorific buttered popcorn. Oooops. Should have used a spoiler there, I've just given the game away. :(

    20 minutes might be a slight exaggeration but they like to hype it up beforehand.

    Seems that the writer of the first published negative review is getting death threats. Sad to read that so many people are unable to accept that another opinion may differ from theirs, especially when most of those attacking him have yet to see the film.

    There is some seriously disturbed fanboys of this francise who think the movies are not only the greatest movies but the highest form of the artwork ever attained. Lunatics. Just look at the number of threads started by these idiots on IMDB. I'm sure Nolan has had to take out restraining orders against some of these LOL.

    I enjoyed the previous two films but the reality is I saw at least ten other films better than TDK the year it was released

    The sexism in the comments is really cringeworthy too.

    2 comments on Christ Lemire's mixed (but still rotten) review:

    "it's probably her time of the month, you know how women get.."

    "Stay in the kitchen"

    Idiots. :pac:

    Couldn't give a flute to be honest. Fanboys in empty threats shocker.

    Doesn't take away from the fact that the majority of critics have given this film an at the least equal rating to TDK.

    It is quite sad that someone can't express their opinion without having to worry about their safety. It's highly unlikely that someone would go after him but at the same time why should he have to worry about some deranged nutter tracking him down?

    From the few reviews I've looked at thus far they all seem to agree that the film isn't without problems. I tried not to read too much of any review that looked to contain spoilers so I'll have to wait till the weekend to comment properly on it.

    I agree, I'm not going to judge the film before seeing it, but I'll take the word of the majority of critics for the time being.

    :pac:


    And in relation to the knobs sending death threats, it's really quite pathetic. Do they not have anything better to do? Fanboys really grind my gears :mad:

    Not so long ago people were complaining about the lack of hype, so this is a good complaint. ;) The marketing really has kicked into overdrive over the past month and a half.

    LOL. Just look at the reviews, mainly positive except for three. And look at the number of responses to those three and the vitriol towards the reviewers. Really pathetic.

    I'm happy that judging from reviews it isn't a massive drop from the previous two, which is so often the case in trilogies. Anything else (equalling or surpassing) is a bonus for me personally

    You should have been in London, Summer 1989. Massive hype over Burton's Batman and all without the internet!
