Currently at 100%/8.9 with 12 reviews in on Rotten Tomatoes.

Nothing for Metacritic yet with only 3 reviews, but Hollywood Reporter is a 100.

Seems like most complaints are thats its "too long", and "it wasn't the greatest film ever made, but its still amazing.."
Like even critics' expectations were too high...

"So staunchly right-wing it’ll thrill all those Fox News anchors outraged by ‘The Muppets’."

"predictable"

No surprise the rotten review came from Marshall Fine, who gave TDK a bad grade also

It is actually a well written and well reasoned review.

The review from The Hollywood Reporter is also a well written and well reasoned review

Quote:
“The Dark Knight Rises” is easily the most disappointing Batman film so far – and I’m including Schumacher’s “Batman & Robin” in that statement. Nolan has finally lost his touch.

Why was that taken off RT ?

Because it's not a real review.

"'The Dark Knight Rises' is plot-heavy, obsessed with process, laden with expository dialogue and flashbacks that bog down the momentum and _ dare I say it? _ just flat-out boring at times."

This is one of the "fresh" reviews from RT:

"['The Dark Knight Rises'] lacks the spark that made its immediate predecessor a masterpiece. 3.5 out of 5."

I've heard the TIME review is super, super spoiler-heavy.

That bitch liked Battleship and Snow Crap and gave them fresh, does it make sense? :huh:

I think Christy Lemire is a good critic generally but I saw her review and wanted to pull a Whoopi in Ghost: "you in danger gurl!" The Nolanites will eat her alive now.

I don't trust reviews from people with names like Marshall and Tookey.

Really surprised that Lemire gave it a 2/4.

There is a good chance its not as good as TDK.

TDK is such a well done film its a bit crazy if you ever rewatch it.

I was rewatching it on the home theater at home Sunday and I knew the lines coming out before they spoke lol...

Rotten Tomatoes kicked Eric Snider out for posting that fake review, and the editor-in-chief wrote a letter called "The Dark Knight Rises: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things."

I'm not. She gave BB a 2/4 and admitted in her TDKR review that the main reason she liked TDK was Ledger.

"Anyone who can’t see enough big, loud movies that don’t make sense can safely disregard this review. But the first of the trilogy, Batman Begins (which received four stars from me), remains the creative high point.

The Dark Knight Rises is not as repellently sadistic as its immediate predecessor, but it has pretensions vastly beyond its capabilities, and the special effects drown out the narrative.

2 out of 5."
