!!! ONCE THE FILM IS RELEASED, DO NOT POST ANY SPOILERS OR YOU WILL BE NEGGED ON SIGHT!!! THIS THREAD IS MEANT TO BE FOR A SPOILER FREE DISCUSSION, SOMEBODY CAN MAKE A SEPARATE THREAD TO DISCUSS SPOILERS ONCE THE FILM IS RELEASED !!!

[xSwolePatrol]

Going to be the most epic movie of the last decade IMO

[Zitnik]

So, who's got those midnight tickets?

[HandstandPushup]

Ill be there midnight

[leafs43]

My own guess how the story goes...

Batman is retired->Bane comes to rip down Gotham via first movie's plot-> Bane whoops Batman's ass the first encounter and takes Batman as a prisoner->Batman manages to escape, with significant injury->Batman cowboys up and ends up sacrificing himself and beating Bane->Batman dies, Gotham is finally saved

[Lionology]

Best movie of the year.
Best movie of the decade
Best movie of all-time


I got the Trilogy feature.
Gonna refresh my memory before watching the big feature.

Will be seeing at midnight. The new footage they released of bane kidney-punching batman and then punching him again after he went down looks much more brutal than anything else they've shown. Never been this excited for a movie.

Where is this footage!? Must. See. Now.

[stealthytm]

inb4 obligatory Tom Hardy isn't big enough to be Bane post.

[UltraThunderMan]

Where is this footage!? Must. See. Now.

It's on youtube. Just type in Dark Knight Rises Mountain Dew, today and it will be the vid that is like 2:48 long. It's from the scene in trailer 3 where they are fighting and batman throws the wild haymaker and bane ducks it. It just shows what really happens in the movie instead of how they chopped it for the trailer. The sound effects really sell it.

[leafs43]

Gonna see it IMAX day 1.


Don't care if the ticket costs $20.

[KoCorl]

All of the critics who got to see the advanced screening have said that it blows The Dark Knight out of the water. The whole movie is brilliant and Anne Hathaway surprisingly is very good in the film, as is JGL.

Seems so close, yet so far away.

Anyone around Sydney who is planning to see it opening day should PM me.. I am going to the IMAX theatre by Cockle Bay with some mates, could have a misc meetup there

[ChuteBoxeFC]

If I can't make it to a midnight showing. I'll go early the next day. Usually around that time the theater is dead or not completely crowded.

[Zitnik]

OP add negs on sight for spoilers crew to the first post

Added to OP. We're going to keep this thread spoiler free, I was going to allow them with the use of a warning and then by making the text white so it needs to be highlighted, but there's a possibility of someone messing up the tags or something and the spoiler being revealed, so for now this will be a spoiler-free thread.

[.jon.]

LOL my regal cinema has a 3:30am showing on the 19th......eff that. I will stick with 11:40am on the 20th.

[rainoceros]

Here is an IMDB post somebody made, collecting all of the things the critics who got to see the advanced screenings have said. I'd put the quotes in the OP, but they MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS SO CLICK ON THE LINK AT YOUR OWN RISK! I've read all the stuff posted in it, there isn't any major spoilers but there is a few minor ones. There is a warning before you get to the spoiler-esque review.

Bought my midnight(12.20am to be exact) tickets on friday. There were shows starting every 5 minutes and damn there all of the tix prior to that was sold out. All of the evening IMAX shows in Chicago are already sold out friday and saturday.

Got mine at a theater with reserved seating. No way in hell I'm lining up for hours to get a good seat.
