Three lower reviews from New York critics, that's a stinger. Why are they so salty?

I wonder if they would have been positive had they seen the film before the embargo lifted, instead of after.

Didn't Edelstein give TDKR a postive tho. I remember him giving one Nolan movie a postive. Probably Memento or Insomnia.

It seemed mostly negative, but he did say there was a great linear movie hiding behind Nolan's structure. But if he thought the structure ruined it, then probably should be lower than 70. Maybe MC editors are covering their butts after all their Tweets about how this film is one of their highest rated movies of the year, etc. :lol:

It's 70 and its Green. Shouldn't that be a positive?
