I thought it was bloody brilliant! People were wiping tears away after the show. Even nerds were brought to tears, but it usually doesn't take much.
Really enjoyed Bane. I thought he was scarier than the Joker.

Yeah where was Alfred during the takeover, in or out of Gotham?
Also Daniel Sunjata had a good appearance, sucks that he was in and out of the movie in five minutes though.

I give it a 4. Liked it a lot more than I thought I would and a great way to end the trilogy.
Batman Begins - 4
The Dark Knight - 3
The Dark Knight Rises - 4
The Avengers is still better.

Went to the midnight showing last night and I would put this juuust below TDK. It felt a little too long and too many things including the ending were telegraphed too early. I thought Anne Hathaway was great as Selina Kyle and JGL was awesome. It seemed in parts that his was equally his story and Bruce's. I absolutely loved the line "you should use your full name". I was expecting it to be Richard or Dick and when they said it, I was genuinely surprised and was grinning ear to ear.
I just think there were more memorable moments in TDK. In the middle of watching that I knew right away I was going to see it agin at least twice. With this one, I can wait for the Blu.
In terms of overall enjoyment though, Avengers still reigns supreme for me. Tha one I'll catch one more time before the summer's over.

I actually enjoyed this one more than the Avengers due to it being the third film and official end to the trilogy. It was Return of the King all over again.

Liked it. Didn't love it. There were just so many plot threads going on, that it felt like none of them were served perfectly. But I enjoyed it, and will probably go and see it again.
I've totally avoided everything for the movie up until today, so I've just now heard Bane speak for the first time, and that was an odd choice for a voice. I didn't dislike it, but it felt like Hardy was trying to respond to Ledgers left-field take on Joker, with an out of left-field take of his own on Bane. He looked like a badass though. It would have been nice to see a better fight between Bane and Batman. What we got lacked potency. Or maybe Haywire has just ruined the standard hand-to-hand fight scene for me.
To be nerdy though, I did not like the Bat. I get that these movies try to go for a more practical durable look, but the Bat looked very out of place to me. It felt like something from Minority Report or Transformers to me. That design would be much better served in a GI Joe flick. But this is a minor complaint.

Loved it.
But living in the West Coast it was really sad leaving the theater, checking my phone, and learning about the Colorado killings.

Well, I want to add my hat to the ones who loved it. It surpassed my expectations. My family enjoyed it as well. The friends with us high-fived us all as we were leaving the theater. The 9-yr old wants to see it again so I'm sure I'm seeing it again very soon!
