okay now i'm back from the theater /whew/ gotta clock this in before I get to bed and while it's still fresh
LOVED IT...not perfect by any means, and not better than TDK but honestly brehs, it was going to be hard to top that no matter what being that Heath gave us a performance for the ages
but that said this was a GREAT way to end the trilogy. Closer in tone to BB to me than the last one
i felt like there were some editing issues especially in the 1st hour, plus the passage of time in the flick kinda messed up the continuity. There is not IMO a 'stand' out performance but everyone was pretty solid all-around
(actually thinking about it JGL might have had the strongest performance of the whole cast)
anyways..really liked how Nolan incorporated various parts of Batman lore in the flick regarding the characters and the parts they played to Wayne/Batman. I had about the true nature of some characters before it was actually revealed but that did not take away at all from the movie (especially when 'someone' figured out who Wayne was)
Catwoman was lookin' right in that catsuit brehs
Bane was GOON STATUS THROUGHOUT. A lot different than Joker but no less terrifying.
also they might have given away just a bit too much in all the trailers (particularly the destruction) but IMO that is balanced out by the other surprise character's origin which was DOPE.
all in all i'm highly satisfied. This can't be the end right???
