Saw it in Imax last night. Awesome movie.

Definitely slow at times and long but very entertaining and would see again.

I haven't watched it yet, just wondering if it's worth it to go watch IMAX?

Yes, pretty much every fight sequence and city skyline scene is shot in IMAX. Read its over an hour of footage.

There's something like 70 minutes of imax footage.

But only worth it if you watch in a real Imax theatre. That means Langley or Richmond ONLY.

wow the movie has grossed in 5 days almost as much as the spiderman movie has done in 23 days

The Numbers - Daily Box Office Chart for Tuesday July 24th, 2012

the numbers are meh
even with the shooting incident the opening weekend only had $2M over TDK's opening weekend.

Even with the avengers being 3D (thus higher ticket prices) I would expect TDKR to be closer to $180M...beating the final Harry Potter movie

Wow, great movie. I don't know why some viewers were expecting crazy plot twists/mind-fucks.. Is this a pre-requisite for a good movie?

I typically never head out to the theatres but glad I did. I was thoroughly entertained for the entire 2.5hrs. IMAX was amazing -much prefer this visual experience over 3D. What a trilogy.

One question: I didn't stay past the credits.. Did I miss anything?

A lot of the theatres have received upgraded screens and projectors and those who have IMAX's are true and same with the AVX theatres

This was the conclusion. It wouldn't make any sense to have a post credits scene. And no.

There's also Colossus that has a "true" IMAX theatre.

When talking about Imax, there is only one true way to watch it, and that is 70mm film projectors.

"upgraded" digital projectors are not true Imax. Here's a comparison:

Only two of the Imax theatres in BC will look like the screen on the right: Richmond and Langley (Collosus, I thought it was Cocquitlam, fixed typo). The rest will look like theone on the left. Basically it's bigger than a normal theatre screen, but not Imax. It doesn't have the verticality that immerses you into the movie. Like, the whole fucking point of Imax.

Watched in IMAX, not that worth it imo. The imax scenes are weird becuase they're 4:3 aspect ratio.

IMO, the real benefit of IMAX is the upgraded sound.

ya i dont get the 4:3 ratio either. tv screens went from square to widescreen. movie screens are going the other way?

People who "don't get" 4:3 in imax = :fulloffuck:

Movie wasn't too bad. Gf said it was bad because she expected something more like The Dark Knight with the Joker. Good ending though I really liked the ending because it could mean the movie is going to have a sequel

9/10

I loved it. 10/10. Girlfriend thought Batman/Bruce Wayne did jack shit, but I didn't take it to be a major issue; anybody else feel this way?

Spoiler!

sorry it wasn't a fair fail..you dont live in canada no more
and was gonna do it when you gave joseph gordon-levitt some funky name few pages back
at least you didn't confuse chris hansen for rick hansen haha

Just got back from it, and, I'm sure I'm going to get hated on for this, but I liked it more than TDK. Here's why:
I tend to write a lot when I get into something, prep for a bit more reading than some other posts.

First off, I felt that TDK was too over-hyped for me at the time. And upon seeing it, I was expecting more from Heath Ledger. In no way am I saying he was bad, or even mediocre; he redefined what people believed to be the Joker. He no longer was a cartoonish clown, who used gags and jokes as a form of destruction; he became a monster, one who clearly wanted the world to burn as he watched, not from atop a pedestal, but from an equal standing as everyone around him, so that he could see and feel what he caused. Nolan clearly created something amazing with TDK, and everyone in the film was outstanding. However, these reasons are from TDKR, so they're spoilered.

Spoiler!

- Michael Caine. He made the movie painful, heartbreaking and believable in the sense of agony Batman can cause by "doing what is right." When he was beginning to break down speaking to Bruce about not wanting to bury another Wayne, I felt as though it was the most genuine acting I've seen in years. Michael Caine is extremely talented and seeing Alfred broken during the funeral was gut-wrenching to me.
- Tom Hardy was haunting to me. His voice could have been something different had I been the one to decide, but when listening to him speak, I focused on the baritone range of his voice distortion. He became something of a nightmare when I did. When he was staring down Batman in the sewer, it was disturbing. He had the eyes of someone who had lost everything and was made fear inducing because of it.
- Obviously I have a hard-on for Anne Hathaway. I feel she did well as Selina Kyle, and knowing Selina's background through comics and such, I found her totally reasonable as a fighter.
- Throwback to Dr. Crane. I'm sure, as someone else said, that his placement would have been the Joker instead, had Heath Ledger still been alive. However, being willing to bring back forgotten characters/villians from previous films was a great moment.
- The back break. I was in a very composed theatre when I watched the movie, but I was so excited that it was included. It had to be, I would have been mad if it weren't.
- Although not given the name of one of the original three characters to become Robin, I was expecting throughout much of the movie that Joseph Gordon Levitt was going to become Robin as there was no other reason for him to be getting as much screen time as he did. And I think it was the right move. Although I doubt a sequel/spinoff, I feel like it was the right thing to do, to give the audience an idea that it's not the end. Just a new beginning.
- The ending. I was so sucked into the story that I did not even think of the ejection/autopilot twist which saved Batman. Seeing (what I thought was) Batman finally being brought to an end could have easily brought me to tears had I been alone/with someone who wouldn't judge me for tearing up. Seeing a hero you've looked up to all your life die is heartbreaking, even if they are fictional.

Overall, because I've always loved Batman as well as Nolan's take on the franchise, I give it a 10. I hope that if Batman is taken under someone else's name, they take a page out of Nolan's book on how to make movies that keep you coming back for more.

What does living in Canada have to do with anything? Are you saying there are more 70mm Imax film locations in BC? Because there aren't, at least according to the official Dark Knight Rises website. Or was it because I made the typo, and called Colossus Coquitlam? Yeah, my bad :okay:

As for the actor, maybe I got the names in the wrong order, I don't know. I can't be bothered to remember when actors have 3 names, 2 of which can be first or last names. Fucking child actors of the 90's, if you're going to become an actual star, fix your name :rukidding:

On the same boat as you, TKDR was better than TKD

Spoiler!

lol

is that what happened?
still havent seen it so fuck you for spoiling

Rises made 2million more opening weekend but it was also playing in more theatres than TDK

and TDK has made $10mn more in 6 days than Rises did http://www.boxofficemojo.com/ (its on the front page)

I think the bad user reviews are affecting it Im hearing a lot of people saying it sucks :/

Whoever says it sucks is a fucking idiot.

Whoever said TDKR sucks didn't know Batman Begins was the first of the trilogy.

TDKR ends the trilogy in the same style it began.
