I'm curious - when a fairly non-specific review like this comes in (good and well written) surely they have to provide you with proof of how and when the screening went down, even if that info isn't published?

There isn't really any information in the review that couldn't be cribbed from the endless promos released for this bad boy.

Bring it on regardless.

The whole 'i dont want to spoil it for you' is a fair point, but just to say 'It was great' over several paragraphs isn't far removed from just saying 'IT WAS AWESOME' and nothing else.

And that would just be a bus load of daftness...

1. The approach they've taken with trying to set it in the 'real' world - a big mistake; it didn't work in the first film. It just makes the movie tedious.

2.Batman Begins had a few good ideas and some good moments, but overall was like watching paint dry. The Dark Knight is made by the same people.

From the trailers, Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker is over-acted and otherwise unremarkable. He's giving exactly the kind of performance I would expect from ANY actor playing a supervillian in a comic book movie. No more, no less.

This reviewer compares The Dark Knight to 'Heat' - one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Like Batman Begins, it's an over-long, pointless movie that's like watching paint dry. I wish Harry would tone down his own hype and take a balanced view of these movies.

and ban Memories. Memories is a cock. Xiphos isn't.

Duck-men from Mars!

Method #3 of writing fake reviews: "I will not mention any spoilers in this review..." (because I don't know any)

I won't argue over the merits of BB. But to say Nolan's movies aren't intense and engrossing is missing something spectacular.

I watched Batman 1989 again and Nolan's scope is just so vast. In the previous Batmans you can see soundstages and perfectly lit chase sequences with no suspense whatsoever. And I think Nolan's realism fits Batman more than other superheroes because he has no super powers and is just trying to make Gotham better one criminal at a time.

and you have to tell us, because if you don't then we know it's a certain lady psychiatric doctor. if you can say 'sal maroni's girlfriend' then do so, even though that role is already listed as another woman.

still, sarah jane dunn?

can we talk some batman now?

i', kingkong in this muthuh!

although in everything i've ever read, Nolan is pretty serious about just not wanting to go the robin route. it's too early in batman's career.

everyone forgets that kid with fighting parents in BB that batman gave a nightscope to, was with racheal in the narrows, and who the police at the end of BB said 'his parents are missing'.

sounds like a set up to some sort of a robin to me. but probably hinting at possibilities of a batman future we'll never see in a nolan trilogy.

REALISM! (Sound of horses neighing)

Damn.

i just remember last year when the first viral teases hit it seemed like it was still years away. it's been a fast 6 or 7 months...but will probably be one long last month.

overhyped? overexcited? nah. my geek sanity doesn't hinge on it, and if i end up underwhelmed, whatever. But it's one movie in a long time i will risk $10 on, and the long running time NOT being trimmed by studios says alot to what they have come to appreciate about nolan's vision for it. 2 and a half hours of escapism? i could use it.

nolan and warner will never admit it, but we will be witnessing an actor going over the edge to become a character, and we know how that ended up. that's not why i'm going to see it, but it should be interesting.

Yeah, I remember that too. One of the great STFU moments in AICN history.

TDK will own everything out this year.

End of story.

-or i think it would have to be someone out of left field, that we would never expect, and i guess we'd just have to leave it to nolan.

Was not trying to troll you but it did seem a little far fetched. Thanks for the response.

Might even suffer whiny kids, talking adults, and the rank cumulative public BO and see it in the theater!

I almost choked on my vodka after reading that line.

the gay clones are in bed, facing each other during sex and mumbling to each other through soft but sloppy kisses. it's raining outside, and a lot of candles are lit. someone left SADE playing in the living room, but you can just make out the bass coming through the walls.

that's how gay that was. if you have to make a gay joke here, you should at least explain it.

he tried it on, but could only fit the green vest like a bra.

they say that every year, on july 18th, he stands in front of a full length mirror with the vest/bra on and his junk tucked, grunting- 'what doesn't kill you- makes you horny.'
