Indeed, the acting muscles he had to flex pretending to be John Travolta pretending to be Nic Cage was oscar-worthy for sure!

He is good, Lewis knows just how hilarious he can get.

My good grief. Trying to book tickets for the IMAX showing of TDKR is worse than the experience I had trying to book AC/DC tickets. I actually can't believe how mental this is.

Well, it took me 12 hours but I finally got them. 12 hours. For fucking cinema tickets. It better be a bloody good film.

Yeah it was well bloody good.

Still not seen it, urgh!

I enjoyed it but it was rather long and I wouldn't be particularly bothered about seeing it again.

I thought it wasn't long enough and wanted to see it again immediately after the film finished!

Saying that, I did get round to seeing it for the second time last week, and since the excitement of the IMAX glory had died down, I can admit that it does drag a little bit in the middle of the film. It's strange though, I actually felt that certain elements of the story were rushed over too quickly (e.g. Selina Kyle's character and motivations, the big quick twist at the end, more Bane origin goodness) which is what initially made me want the film to be longer. But then again if they had cut out bits of the middle, Gotham's reckoning would've seemed like it happened too quick. So I think it needded to be that long to tell the whole story. But there was a lot of story to tell for one film, maybe that was the problem.

Either way, the film has its faults, like The Dark Knight did and like many other films do, but at the end of the day it was absolutely fantastically entertaining from start to finish, rather emotional too (Alfred was wonderful, and that bit of Bane emotion near the end was amazing), and just a fantastic cinematic experience. I also thought Bane was an amazing character, maybe even better than the Joker in some ways (blaspheme I know, but I am in love with Tom Hardy), and his voice was absolutely amazing and hilarious in the best possible way. "I'm here to fulfil Ra'as Al Ghul DESTINY!" "Victory has defeated YOU!" "Aaah... you think darkness is your ally... you merely adopted the daaark... I was born in it... MOOOULDED by it... I didn't see the light until I was already a man and by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!"

Basically, amazing stuff. Despite the flaws, I had a wonderful time watching this and would watch it many more times!
