Its like this, half of the movie is regular print and the imax shots are shown on full screen. its such a big ass screen; sitting in the second row, you wont be able to see the entire screen at once.

That's what I thought :) Doesn't it feel off when the movie switches between full sized IMAX and shrunk to normal widescreen? Anyways, I'll probably just wait for it to arrive on bluray too. For some reason I like the clarity of picture/sound watching 1080p at home better than sitting in a cinema.
 
People are finding loopholes in TDKR. Come on guys this is a superhero movie. The lead characters are fictional. So what if Noaln has made this keeping in mind the present world, its still all fiction. There will always be loopholes.

I am fine with the loopholes but I am more irritated by cliched dialogues, sketchy characterisation and discontinuity in the story. Also, I loved TDK so these things were unforgivable. He raised the bar too high! :)

If the same movie was directed by Michael Bay i would have given it 10/10. I had expected a much better movie, dialogues, by Nolan. All his previous movies are one of the best i have seen. TDKR is way below his standards.

i watched mi4 @ imax mumbai which had 30min of imax footage mostly the dubai scaling and sandstorm part

there was no switching..
maybe they upscaled the non-imax parts to the imax size

The whole movie felt a bit grainy...
the kind you get when you zoom 1080p rips to the maximum size
 
I never saw any of Batman movie until yesterday. I finally decided to download Batman Begins (2005), Batman - The Dark Knight (2008).. I wanted to watch two of the predecessors before actually watching The Dark Knight Rises. I used to watch Batman (and Robin) when I was kid but I don't remember any of them.

Finally, I watched both the predecessors. I liked them a lot. Looking forward to watch The Dark Knight Rises (no 3D show in the city where I live right now ;( that sucks).

I would rate Batman Begins - 8/10 and The Dark Knight - 8.5/10. I hope The Dark Knight Rises is better than both of them :D Anyways, no sign of Robin in Nolan's batman?
 
TDKR is not in 3d only 2D but it's worth going to IMAX for it.

The number & magnitude of 'loopholes' (occasions requiring suspension of disbelief is how I put it) is too high to be ignored imho. Which other superhero movie had as many? Also, every superhero comic/movie is governed by a certain logic/rules based on the particular universe it is set in. So just saying there will be 'loopholes' is not enough. & especially so in Nolan's Batman world since his vision (if I've understood it correctly) is a lot closer to reality. For eg. in Schumacher's Batman world, anything goes.

I saw the movie on Monday. Its good. Honestly i liked it more than the Dark Knight because of its Bollywoodish tone i guess. But yeah it was quite good. It was so interesting that i did not even need Popcorn for watching the entire movie! :lol:
Christian Bale was good but again the opposite turned out to be better. Bane ie, Tom Hardy. His performance in Inception was quite good and even in Rock N Rolla but even with wearing a Mask in this movie he beats the shit out of the throat cancer Bat. Great movie though. Not coming from a batman fan though. So don't hate me for not going nuts over it!
 
I want to watch it again because there's just too much to take in.
At NolanFans forum several guys who complained after first viewing are playing different tune after second/third viewing.

IMHO, this is a perfect end to a great trilogy.

Shucks! It might have been awesome if DiCaprio was cast as The Riddler! Or maybe even Johnny Depp? :p

I wish Penguin made his appearance as well. That would be overkill perhaps. :ashamed:

I'm going to answer this only because you asked explicitly
TDKR makes some reference, watch it to find out.
 
Can anyone actually make a sequel to a series that the director himself considered to be complete? Just a thought.
