My one concern, however, is the run time. For some reason I see that it's close to 3 hours long and wonder if there will be some plodding parts. Hopefully those feelings are unfounded.

It's 2 hours and 45 minutes long, only 10 minutes longer than it predecessor, 25 minutes longer than Batman Begins and 20 minutes longer than The Avengers.

I don't think it'll be that bad.


To be fair I think TDKs pace could have been improved by deleting that long sequence in China. It was a great sequence and stunningly shot but it brought the story to a dead stop.
 
Should be terrific. Greg is a fantastic writer.

Thanks, Agent and Admiral! I can't believe the book is finally coming out!


I've always wondered, does writing the novelization ruin the experience of seeing the movie?

To be honest, it usually takes me a couple of viewings before I can appreciate the movie as a moviegoer. The first time through, I'm too busy comparing the movie to what I wrote and spotting all the tiny little discrepancies that nobody but me will ever notice!

That being said, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie at last!
 
I'm looking forward to seeing it tomorrow morning. Gonna watch The Dark Knight later tonight. I know several people attending midnight screenings tonight.
Uh, it's still Wednesday............

Not in Australia it isn't.

And that movies start here on a Thursday.

Anyways just back from it a few hours ago. Epic. There are some nice twists. Gonna see it again sometime this weekend.
 
Is Cillian Murphy confirmed to be in this? I was under the impression he wasn't.

Yes, he's in it. Though in a very small role. But at least he gets some lines. Didn't he appear without speaking in TDK? I don't remember exactly. It's been a while.


Anyway, I just got back from the movie. Thought it was great. I anticipate a lot of political commentary on this movie, because of the echoes of Occupy Wall Street.
 
for those of you who want to be spoiled on the plot, Wikipedia now has the full plot writeup about it. I spoiled myself, but movie sounds really good.

After watching the movie, I was browsing Wikipedia, and noticed that there also spoilers listed on at least one of the individual actor's Wikipedia pages. So anyone not wanting to be spoiled (though why are you reading this thread now if you don't want to be spoiled?) should avoid the actors' Wikipedia pages.
 
Just got back from it. No spoilers here, but I will say that a character ended up right where I thought he would. Great movie.
