[QUOTE="The_lurkeR, post: 4399876, member: 11092"] Saw the movie Saturday in an IMAX screening. I had tried not to buy too much into the hype or see much spoilers, but was still excited to see it. Overall it's good but not great, maybe a 7 or 8 out of 10. There are a number of nagging flaws that keep it from being the "best... movie... ever!" as some have proclaimed it. It starts off fantastic, the setup scenes, and the action of the 'sky-hook' trip are pitch-perfect. The middle chase scenes and confrontations are also well done (mostly...) [sblock] with a glaring exception of the fund raising party... so Joker breaks in looking for Harvey, drops Rachel out the window and Batman jumps out after to rescue her... then that's it, scene over? What happened back in the party? They left Joker alone with all those people still looking for Harvey. [/sblock] It's only in the end that it began to feel drawn out and overwrought with explanatory dialogue. The Joker saying [sblock] "You complete me" to Batman [/sblock] explains their relationship well enough, we don't need him to spell it out at the end. I believe we all understand the message Nolan was trying to tell in the final part with the two b***'s, but it took too much screen time and white noise in the film at that point. Which made cutting back to Batman's scenes kinda boring and anticlimatic compared to the earlier action. (The "phone-view" also helped muddy the action beyond Nolans already muddy style.) Anyways I liked it, but it just wasn't perfect is all. [/QUOTE]
