 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
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...

 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
No surprise the rotten review came from Marshall Fine, who gave TDK a bad grade also

 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
The review from The Hollywood Reporter is also a well written and well reasoned review

 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
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. www.ericdsnider.com/movies/the-dark-knight-rises/lolz

 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
" '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." - Christy Lemire - Associated Press

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."- Amy Nicholson - Boxoffice Magazine

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

 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
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.

 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
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...

 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
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." lmaoooooooooooooooo http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_dar ... ce_things/

 Re: The Dark Knight Rises Review Watch
"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."- Christopher Tookey - Daily Mail (UK)
