I voted 90%. I have to wait for the DVD/Bluray to come out until I give my final opinion, as my theater experience was somewhat unsatisfactory. I'll have to watch it alone several times, like I did with Batman Begins, to see how I like it.

Unsatisfactory. How high did you set your expectations?

I say unsatisfactory because of the distraction by loud moviegoers behind me. Also, it takes me several viewings to understand all the elements of a complicated film, and since TDKR is over two and a half hours, I didn't understand everything, mainly
the prologue and why the guy was being kidnapped. I know it has something to do with the bomb but couldn't connect anything beyond that
. My expectations going in were very high, as I'd basically mapped out the film from the trailers and clips we were shown during the promo campaign. It's not that I expected a better movie, just a slightly different one. I still thought it was phenomonal, though.

Let me guess, we shouldn't read this unless we want to be kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of our lives? :roll:

Nolan's worst effort by far.
Didn't even feel like a Nolan film.
