Ah! That explains it! I remember it getting blurry whenever there was alot of motion. I guess it was because I was following the action by turning my head.

I think it's the frame of the glasses that makes it feel smaller because it puts a border around your vision. That's my theory anyways lol I was wishing that the film was in 2D the entire time because I really wanted to be able to enjoy the IMAX experience without the 3D blurring things. There was several times the screen seemed to get blurry, casting a double image. I wasn't the only one experiencing it. Maybe we had a shitty IMAX projectionist?

I can't believe no one has listed this...

1. Evil Dead 2. Man of Steel 3. Star Trek Into Darkness 4. Only God Forgives 5. Kill Your Darlings 6. Catching Fire 7. The Wolverine 8. The Heat 9. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (is that even happening still?) 10. Ronin

Evil Dead is the only thing I've been looking forward to Pre-Star Trek 2 this year.

I liked TDKR, but could see all of the flaws when I watched it opening night. Having Honest Trailers back up basically every single complaint I had really makes me feel good haha!! For some reason though, I still love the movie.

For me (because everyone else is doing it, lol) BB- 8/10TDK- 9.5/10TDKR- 9/10Batman Begins isn't holding up as well as TDK. I know people are tired of TDK being the leader of the pack and I'm sure many people feel as if TDK is overrated, but for me it is the best Batman film yet. It's not just the Joker's performance that makes it, it's the pacing and the excellent action sequences. That film is nearly flawless, especially for a summer blockbuster experience. I had issues with the TDKR from the beginning. Mainly, I couldn't stand the ending. I hated it even. But after watching it several times (I saw it twice more at the cinema, 3-4 times at home now) it has grown on me. I'm a huge Tom Hardy stan, so I'm sure that factors into it, but it's still a good enough send off. I don't think anyone was expecting this to be better than TDK anyways.

I love both portrayals of the catwoman. They both are so different and exist in different worlds, so it's seriously moot point to compare the two imo. Pfeiffer's catwoman performance will always be iconic though. Anne did an amazing job fitting the character into Nolan's universe. Sometimes I forget that Halle Berry was Catwoman. I think I like to believe that movie never existed.

Sorry to butt in the conversation, but I just had to . I see what you're saying here, but it's just going to be one of those agree to disagree things because even though the Joker's "end" is less definite than Bane's, it was much more satisfying for me personally. I don't need to see them cart the Joker away. I don't need to see him locked in a cell or anything. He gave a speech that honestly summed his character up and gave us a recap of what he did to the city and to Harvey Dent. The composition of that scene was just amazing! Call me a Nolanite, but that's seriously one of my favorite moments in any of the Batman series. Now, what works against Bane is the fact that he's revealed as more of a side villain. I know people say that they worked side by side, but I really see it as Talia pulling the strings and Bane making it happen. Because, I mean, who convinced Bane to do this? Who gave Bane these ideals? It was obviously Talia because honestly why else would Bane do all of this? So, just at the surface level you suddenly feel like Bane isn't the real threat here and only a few moments later he's blasted away with a cheesy "wait for the applause" pause for Catwoman's one-liner. Let's not forget that even right before the big reveal Batman beats Bane into submission after unfastening a few tubes from his mask. Then he's crying and Talia's fixing him up. So the last thing I remember when I think of Bane: He got his ass beat. He cried. Then he got blasted away in one shot. I know you feel differently about it, but even people I know that loved the movie, they all agree that Bane's end felt cheap. So, we're certainly not the only ones coming away with that feeling. I can't quite articulate my issues with the scene outside of what I've said thus far, but all in all, it just didn't seem fitting for a character like him who had raised the stakes higher than any villain Gotham and Batman had ever faced. He deserved something different methinks, but hey, this is what we got. Side note: I don't quite understand how Joker's open ending is a "gaping plot hole". Perhaps I'm missing the meaning of plot hole here.

I loved how the Joker ended. There wasn't any mystery of whether he died or not, he was obviously alive! The thing is though, the Joker had an amazing speech that summed up his character and what he'd accomplished within the film before changing the focus from him to Two-Face. You have closure with that character. With Bane, it's like "Oops, you're not the real villain here, Talia is. Boom, bye." There's not even a moment afforded to confirm his death. Yes, if those explosive rounds can make tumblers explode, one must assume Bane's dead, but you still have no closure. I would have preferred for him or Talia to stay alive, mostly Talia, but I guess Nolan wanted a true final ending of Bruce Wayne's arc.

THANK YOU! Almost all my friends said that my expectations were too high. Excuse me for wanting a movie that makes sense! Part of me is glad that so many people loved this movie because I still love Batman to bits, but at the same time I don't want my opinion to be thrown out, like the flaws in the film don't matter because most people didn't have a problem with them. Thankfully the reaction has been more mixed across the board. It won't be like how it was with Avengers. Basically, if you didn't like that film, you were ostracized haha. Still planning on seeing TDKR again to see if I can enjoy it more.

I think they could do a mix of Nolan's 'verse and the comicbook-y feel, like the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City video games. The seriousness of the Nolan trilogy will be sorely missed though, so they should take a long break, maybe 6-8 years, or make a completely different Batman series that's more comicbooky like the Avengers. Granted, I prefer the grittier side of Batman, but wouldn't mind it lightening up a bit.

I want to be in love with all of Nolan's work, but I always seem to leave with a sense of disappointment when I watch his movies, aside from BB and TDK. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this, but there's always that one last piece that seems to be missing for me. I love his ideas, but some of the writing needs work. Inception for example had all the makings of being an amazing thriller with tons of brains behind it. The brains were there, but something was oddly missing. Compelling dialogue for one, and the James Bond/Golden Eye video game level inspired third act suffered. He's one of those directors that could benefit from exiting his comfort zone for sure. I reckon that he still has a magnum opus inside him somewhere. I really like to believe that TDK is just the tip of the iceberg.

I feel like this wouldn't have been like the Inception totem debate because he left so many clues. The fixed Bat signal and the big reveal for Lucius was proof enough. I still believe that having Alfred look directly at the camera, nod to us, the audience, and then end to credits would have been an amazing ending and I would have walked away feeling a little better. Physically seeing Bruce with Selina just added one last layer of cheese that I could not stomach. The Robin name drop was already enough haha!
