The Dark Knight Rises (the spoiler-free thread)

[Shlup]

I don't think it can top The Dark Knight because a) The Joker is the greatest villain ever and b) so was the portrayal of his character in that film. I have a lot of hope, though, because I'm anticipating this to be the darkest one of all three.

I read a lot of hate for Anne Hathaway about this movie a few months ago - not really sure why. I think she'll do a great job with her part. Nolan knows how to direct. He's picked a great cast in the last films and I have confidence that she'll be able to exceed my expectations.

also so smurfing excited for Bane.

Anne Hathaway looks sweet and not feline at all. Thankfully, I think she's a very good actress so I'm not too worried that she won't be able to pull it off.

Batman Begins was balls and I wanted 2 hours and 30 minutes of my life back.

All of your opinions are now necessarily invalid.

Seconded.

Say what you will but I will continue to dislike any movie with Katie Holmes in it and the "villain" sucked. Also, I don't go see a super hero movie to watch Bruce Wayne acting like the capitalist pig he is.

Okay, well, Katie Holmes did do a lot of damage to my enjoyment of that movie. So did Rachel Dawes as a character in general. I like the villains though.
