Great film and all but certainly didn't live up to the hype. No real sense of peril and some obvious plot twists. I think Mr Nolan missed a trick on this one unfortunately, as far as the superhero wars go Avengers beats it by a long mile, and Spiderman isn't far off either.

Bah. Someone on Youtube went and completely spoiled the ending for me:

I guess most of you know this already but some US lunatic decided to massacre a load of cinema goers at a midnight showing.

Not exactly the publicity they wanted.

A sad event in film history

We will see about the "do no wrong" when superman comes out next year.

I went to see it with mates tonight (Rivkid included) and loved the film. Can't wait until Nightshade/Nightwing. Also aircon was broken, un comfortabley hot (I didn't mind but everyone else was fussed) = Money back and a free ticket to go see something else (or batman again in my case).

Win.

I don't know how you weren't bothered!! It was RIDICULOUSLY HOT - and someone kept farting really eggy bomb drops near me all through the film... not good!! Although I did enjoy the nice mob mentality at the end and shouting at the manager - in fairness he deserved it!

I really liked the film. It was much better than The Dark Knight - although I was struggling to take Bane seriously! Its made me want to watch the other two again - hopefully I'll enjoy TDK more this time around....

Take it back - I rewatched TDK and its actually really good. I mustn't have been in the mood first time around.

Batman Begins is still the best though IMO

I think Begins is the best as well. The Dark Knight is the worst of the trilogy, with Rises being second to Begins. That's not to say they're not all superb, but the first one really stands head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion.
