Fuckin hell, now there's an intense 2 and a half hours of action. left me speechless afterwards. Nolan has upped his game!

Fucking hell, you've seen it already?! I'm about to go in for the 1030 or 1300 screening in the Vue round the corner as well.

It was awesome indeed.
The Pencil trick ftw.

WAAAYY better than Batman Begins imo
Although Batman is still a goth rich kid, Christian Bail (sp) is badass.

Yes indeed it was good. Heath Ledger does make a great, sinister Joker. It's also good/interesting they're not following by the story that would have led onto the previous films. Aaron Eckhart makes a good Harvey Dent as well, makes it a shame to see him get disfigured and all (that's not a spoiler, that's how the comics put it and there's pics of it). CGI in that regard was very good. As was the formation of the bike.

I wouldn't say it had the 'depth' of Batman Begins, but I guess the two films have different purposes. No major complaints, really.

EDIT: I know Wikipedia should not be taken as gospel but I read that they're only sort of in the "thinking about it" stage of sequels, and in terms of casting bad guys, David Tennant fancies being the Riddler

When I saw dent with the coin I knew in my head he was going to be the riddler in the next movie...

Then 5 minutes later I realized I was an idiot.

Aye, Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face was the guy with the coin.

Whole lotta stuff I'd comment on if it didn't spoil the film!

I am so not looking forward to this. I wish it was fucking shorter. There goes 2 1/2 hours of my night

I don't give a rats butt about the movie and I don't want to clean up after people in the end and not home till 23

No wonder you're cranky, having to watch dubbed films. Germany should catch up with the rest of the world and use subtitles.

You are all allowed to hate me, but

BATMAN SUCKS
