Runtime: 100 minutes??!?!? What is with these studios? Hopefully it'll follow the trend that the extended version will be better. Will wait for that unless my gf drags me to see it.

After all the B.S. I've seen about this and the hype, I actually figured it was gonna get great reviews and make a trillion at the box office. I mean, Ghostbusters was marketed to hell too but it was obvious that was going to be a piece of horse shit. But I'm surprised at this one. I wasn't interested in it, but still... damn.

Based on reviews I am least interested. I think Heath Ledger screwed up the perception of DC until at least 2018, everyone expects something that good again.

This looks like a fun, light and meaningless action movie. Nothing wrong with that.

Too bad he wasn't more mediocre. Then we'd be so used to mediocrity we would not be continuously disappointed by DC's constant failures.

I'm gonna watch this and probably enjoy it. American critics shitted on Warcraft and that was a pretty good movie IMO, much better than TFA.

I enjoyed Warcraft, thanks in no small part to being extremely familiar with the lore and being able to fill in all the gaps. But I still wouldn't say it hit it out of the park.

Let me guess, a shitload of gunfire and not one time do one of the stars of the film get hit? Its amazing how machine guns being sprayed never seem to hit the stars of a film.

You jest but the fact that Marvel Studios never had a movie as well done as TDK is part of the reason why people are happy to consume the reheated generic leftovers they keep rolling out in their movie sequels. The two Captain America movies were kinda thinky and GotG was fun but otherwise everything since Avengers 1 has been crap.

The poor always feel poorer next to the rich.

what? no. TDK was a poor imitation of a comic book movie. A brooding, dark, mess of plots that works better as a regular ol action flick (an awesome action flick)

Spidey 2, X2, (neither Marvel studios, but whatever) Iron Man and even Guardians were better for the genre than TDK.

Those movies had heart and charm--and a very important dose of levity. The Nolan flicks just make you want to cut yourself.

Keaton's Batman flicks are still better.

TDK was a good movie minus the Batman part. Bale slept through the role.
