Here, also has a couple of peoples reactions to the screening

Handsome Bob

First screenings were yesterday, have avoided reviews so far, don't know how long that will last. :o

I like getting a general idea of what a film is like on this forum but I'm not going near any professional reviews for this one. A review I read for The Dark Knight informed me about the

"death of a major character."

Man I was really pissed at the rime.

shot of the 1/6 scale figure. the armour looks different, huge shoulder pads

It's the same armour. Hot toys are probably still slightly tweaking the look and colour accuracy. If anything the pads are smaller again - they were reduced in the second run along with modifications to the squareness of the mouth opening - than the initial HT TDK release.

ricero

one reviewer said if this does not win the oscar for best picture then no comic book movie will ever win one. very positive reviews so far

To your original question - there are things I criticize in every film, but this one measures high on many measures. There will be some surprises but not big ones, the beauty of the film is how well it tells the story. Tom Hardy was incredible as Bane, the storyline was fantastic. I think the Joker is far more iconic than Bane, with more memorable quotes, but this story was great, including Bane's origin. Godfather 3 never happened. Xmen 3 & Spider-Man 3 were awful, this film was the perfect final chapter in the trilogy."

Sorry lads this may have been discussed or not but...


I'm watching guy pierce in lockout right now and he has bulked up!!! I would have been delighted if he was cast as bane, don't get me wrong Tom hardy will do a fine job but I've always been impressed by guy pierce!!! An with his Nolan/memento ties who's to say he was not considered???

Just wondering what ye think???

Tom Hardy as a stronger screen presence imo.

Every movie I've seen Hardy in he dominates the screen.

I'd put money on him being the next James Bond as well.

If Nolan gets to direct a Bond film, something he has said he wants to do, you can put your house on Hardy being 007. That being said, apparently Nolan wants to focus on lower key films for the forseeable future.

Here is the full image of that HT Batman. There is a company called Enterbay making a 1/4 scale version.

either Hardy or Fasssbender I reckon, either one would make either a great Bond or villain.






either one fo them would make a great Bond if they dont go with an unknown (which I doubt they would)

Mickeroo

I'd lean more towards Fassbender, Hardy is a bit too youthful looking for bond imo (even though they're both the same age).

Sad Professor

Craig, Brosnan, Moore, Dalton, Connery were hardly household names before Bond. Hardy and Fassbender would seem like big stars in comparison. I know people always talk about big-name actors taking over the Bond role, but there really isn't a chance in hell of either of them doing it. There's no reason for them want to sign themselves up to a franchise for several years when they are doing so well anyway.

And unless Nolan is willing to take a major reduction in pay and influence, I doubt he'll be doing it either. There's a reason the Broccolis get hacks to direct the Bond films: because they want someone they can control. Even Mendes (remember him?) is basically just directing the dialogue scenes with second unit handing the rest. Nolan famously insists on shooting everything himself (with sometimes questionable results). This is why the Batman films take 6 months to shoot.

I don't know why Nolan would want to direct a Bond film anyway given that he's already made several films that are heavily influenced by Bond. He's a writer. If he still hasn't gotten the Bond bug out of his system he can just write another Bond-inspired script. Along with Dick Donner's Superman and Heat, Bond has been a pretty big influence on Nolan's take on Batman.

Inceptions snow fortress was as bondian as you could get, was like a scene out of OHMSS. and the TDKR prologue's mid air heist is as well, even it was done before (and brilliantly) in Cliffhanger, its still an amazing looking scene even on the crappy quality youtube vid I saw never mind on the big screen.

The Bond 2nd unit is one of the best in the world at what they do so there's never really much fear they wont shoot some great action scenes. I kinda wish Clive Owen had gotten the gig a few years back he'd make a great Bond, he's too old now though.

anyhoo, back on topic.

less than two weeks to go, I are excite!

Dungarvan cinema is getting a 4k projector in late July so if anyone holds off until the Tueday after batman comes out (24th?) you can see it in 4k.

Handsome Bob

The following is a bit of surprise, especially to those who think Nolan is predictable in his direction. Not so much a spoiler, as I said, it's more about Nolan's style of direction and what you've come to expect:

Other quick things: The Bane>Batman beatdown that we all know is coming completely blew me away, more than I thought it would. There's no music backing this scene at all, which makes it all the more powerful.

Bullseye1

That's an interesting method and you can see Nolan is trying to give us the gravitas of the situation with no possible distraction.

You know what struck me most about that featurette? In its entirety, I think I saw one green screen [at the bottom of that "well" thing].

12 days left.
